What I find odd about this is that the city had it shut down at that time, even though it was no secret that this project was going on, as hundreds of community members were working on the project. Not sure if the timing was coincidental, but someone on the blog claimed it was to spite people.
This boils down to the whole double standard of public property. On this, I point you to an excellent post by clayton: https://forum.freecapitalists.org/t/taxation-is-not-theft/24344/28
