reclaiming the commonsthe presence of homeless people is considered by many as bad for business, resulting in both subtle and overt e�orts to push visible homelessness outside the downtown economic core. due to restrictions on how and when public spaces may be used, the homeless face criminalization for attempting to ful�ll essential human needs. those accused of crimes such as public urination, illegal camping and tresspassing can be subjected to exclusion from several blocks in the heart of eugene. in a post-capitalist society, public spaces will be reappropriated by people and used to meet material needs.

within the current capitalist system personal growth is measured by material
benchmarks at stages of life.
systems of consumption enforce a sequence of satisfaction of human needs, each a foundation for subsequent growth.
for those left out of the economic system, provision of only material needs leads to lack of
control over one’s life.
problem solving by a process of dialogue and collaboration can negate these material
prerequisites for achieving agency in one’s life.
material and social needs must be seen as codependant
only with balanced provision of both material and social needs can one achieve
agency to a�ect one’s life.
