Follow with me here: Zuccotti Park is only 3,300 square feet; you own an acre; let's change the 500 people on your property to 2,600 people. (Before you gasp, I found one site that mentioned 200 people -- I think that's low because they talked about hundreds and thousands of people...an acre is 43,560 s.f. divided by 3,300 s.f. = 13.2. Now, 13.2 x 200 people = 2,640.) Then there's their sleeping bags, their sleeping tents, their generators, their food tents and all the paraphenalia people need to camp out for months at a time. Oh, and they're using the ground as a toilet. Oh, and when guests try to come to your home, they block their way and intimidate them because they want your town to acquiesce to their demands. Your attorney tells you that you may be responsible for their injuries on your property. And you've got a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank you'd rather not spend on lawsuits. That vegetable garden you've got around back? They trampled that. They've scared your livestock. There's been a few sexual attacks, a shooting, stealing and more. Some of the rowdies are just troublemakers. They break all the windows in your home. Scare your wife and kids. You ask them, "What do I have to do to get you to leave?" Everyone answers that question differently. And many are asking for things you know damn well sure the town is never going to agree to no matter how long they stay. They've been there two months -- and you've been patient for two months. Now what?
Okay, Boo. That's the reality of Zuccotti Park. If you tell me that, "I'm a patient man, I'd find a way to compromise," you're just telling a fib.
Edit: And you'll never be mayor. :rofl
