Rain at the beach attracts new user groups. This morning a pair of dolphins came close for shore patrol. Under a grey sky, few people came to the ocean’s side and their absence drew in birds. The dolphins, arcing in tandem, swam up the shore then down, catching a late breakfast.
The Community Beach House is a menagerie, a site of exotica and luxury for wild life of all kinds.
Today a Congresswoman is holding a private meeting in one facility; a university alumni group is in another, upstairs; a wealth investment seminar complete with a white board is being held in the open air in front of the guest house, and a dozen meditators are sitting in a circle near the waters’ edge.
Public space is what the public makes of it. Smart cities balance the needs of the public with commercial interests.
