Abstract

In this episode, Sunil Dasgupta talks with Montgomery County resident Will Taylor and the county's right of way manager about more permissive use of the public space that sits in front of most single-family homes. Right of way gardens seem like a small concern but speaks to several contemporary problems of political philosophy including the nature of law-making, policing, pollution, and how we treat neighbors. Very local news. Music from the 1921 Buster Keaton movie, The Goat.
