This is the anti-capitalist space in question (I naturally side with this kind of space)...

Some homeowners are, of course, not happy with these American autonomists. Seattle Crime has the story:

A neighbor of the "radical free space" Autonomia—popular amongst young anarchists in the Central District—claims she and her husband are being harassed by a group of anarchists.

According to SPD, the woman called police on June 27th after she "became aware of a posting" on Pugetsoundanarchists.org, referencing "the half-million dollar house across the street [from Autonomia] is trying to close us down." The woman told police the posting was made by someone who "frequents" Autonomia.

The woman and her family live near Autonomia—on 24th Ave S and S Lane—and have been active in a dispute between neighbors and the anarchist venue.

I could never side with the homeowners and their practical concerns. I simply must support those who can dream of something as ridiculous as "radical free space." There are no dreams in this sad business of protecting the value of your property. In the words of a pop tune I recently rediscovered: "The people say, they want to live their life a different way." Another world is compossible.
