The sidewalk is the most democratic area of our home—we don't always remember this, but it is indeed part of our home, our building, and we believe it can be a space that goes beyond mere circulation. We view the sidewalk as a place for social interaction, tolerance, and respect for others, where we must engage with people of all genders, races, religions, ages, and social, physical, and mental conditions. In other words, it is a space where the full exercise of citizenship takes place.
