as for john mar, his little man syndrome seems to be impairing his judgement on what is the best way to use our city resources. his comments towards the use of community gardens is out to lunch. if he had any knowledge of the demand for, and lack of, community garden space, he might have a better handle on the issue that lead to this type of guerilla gardener.

That's the other thing that gets me about this stunt, they claim they wanted to be "low key and fly under the radar" while their actions indicate the exact opposite. Bright paint, a big banner, random claims about the food bank. Heck she probably could have left the tires unpainted, banked em up next to the fence and gone unnoticed for weeks.
