Annotation

The story is about the creation of a eutopian city against the opposition of the city leaders and those with money. It begins with a woman who had been hired by the city to develop a neighborhood allotment discovering that it had been trashed overnight, with all the plants ripped out, the tools destroyed, and everything the community had built torn down. The city and investors had plans to build a profit making enterprise in its place, but the neighborhood rallied and reestablished the allotment and then worked with other neighborhoods to take over every other possible space and created other allotments, parks, playgrounds, and other community spaces.
