Community Centers are vital for this kind of housing since people have somehow to connect and organize themselves and claim their rights as well.
Growing vegetables was not widely spread but at least there were some areas where people were trying to “use” the land. Lenape, the indigenous people in Mannahatta had the “three sisters” garden, which means that they were growing corn, beans and squash.
Sometimes the separation between what is private or public seems to be confusing. Most of the buildings had a fence running around it without any practical reason but just indicating that this surface is owned. People who live there own it but not use it.
