For weeks 5 and 6, I followed 5 new Twitter accounts: @NYCHousing, @NYCHA, @NPR, @ShaunKing. and @Kirstentheodos. A few questions that I pondered when looking at the posts and exchanges on Twitter were: “What qualifies as a public space?” And what spaces need to be shared?” For example, @Kirstentheodos retweeted a story about developers wanting to raze a playground in the middle of a Manhattan public housing project to build an expensive high-rise apartment building. This is an example of an attempt to privatize a public space. Several of the accounts I followed retweeted a July 26th protest of New York State governor Andrew Cuomo’s plan to put 300 million dollars worth of funding towards extravagant light shows on NYC’s bridges instead of spending it on badly needed subway repairs and upgrades. The presence of the protesters who stood on the street outside of the MTA Board meeting was a way of reminding those who work for the state (“public” figures), that they, the protesters also have input in the dialogue.
