Zuccotti Park is Private Property.

While I may disagree with the protester's; the property owners seem to feel that there is no tresspassing going on. So, in this; it appears that the judge was right.

Zuccotti Park, formerly called Liberty Plaza Park, is a 33,000-square-foot (3,100 m2) publicly accessible park in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is a Privately-Owned-Public-Space (POPS) controlled by Brookfield Properties.

Apparently Brookfield Properties officially requested police assistance with clearing park and a return to normal park rules (no camping).

Bloomberg made this very clear in his statement this morning. The ACLU judge was not right. These hippie vermin “protesters” may continue getting judges to rule in their favor, but it is not because Brookfield Properties agrees with them.

Since when do property owners’ rights matter when it comes to public safety first or a public health menace at worst? It’s become a ‘Woodstock’ like entity. jmo

Aren’t permits required in NYC for permanent camping, ya’d think there would be a law against housing&breeding vermin, especially in Liberal City. ;-)

Bloomberg’s girlfriend is one of the owners of the building.

Private property and property owner's compliance aside, NYC has health, safety and residency ordinances that can and should be enforced.

There still are laws such as disturbing the peace and disorderly behavior. Private property does not insulate you from certain legal limits on your behavior.
