How can we better harness the energy and passion of the Burning Man community to improve placemaking, community building, public art, authentic spaces, joyful cities, etc.?

More daytime festivals with music and art. I’ve seen some of the Venice burners setup their art cars on the boardwalk for special events

I am skeptical how much the burner community can lean in though; many burners I know have crank/reactionary views on housing and urbanism

Yeah, thinking more placemaking and public realm stuff. They make an entire city/world once a year and it feels like all this energy could be put toward permanent good. I know examples of public art in SF that came from the Burn, but could even think bigger than just art. I mean, everybody bikes!
