Instead of linking to Reddit, why not repost it here?

I don’t want to give them any analytics or data by visiting their site if possible.

The repair cafe has a hackerspace/makerspace in back. The local LUG meets there on Thursdays. And they help maintain the 3d printers and library software at the library two doors down. As well as providing them lendable hardware put together from donated parts. And there are no due dates or late fees.

Yes, yes, yes!

Nice!

I really want these to become real places

The limiting factor in this is suitable soil. Converting a parking lot to a green space takes a bit of effort since soil has been removed to create it.

Absolute worst case, the pavement was used to cap a contaminated site (rather than excavate the contaminated soil and move it to a lined and capped landfill).

I love this kind of solarpunk art, showing largely practical reuse of existing buildings and infrastructure. Especially with the modifications to strengthen community and reduce car reliance.
