Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really. I imagine that a city that built a plaza for city use but actively invited skateboarding into it would either soon realize that hooligan troublemaking snot-blowing fun-having noise-making, rottin tootin, board flippin, slang-speakin whippersnapper kiddos on skateboards aren't worth dealing with and would just ban it there anyway. If they did end up taming it, skateboarding would become lame as fuck because there would undoubtedly be some stupid ass rules that men in ties would make the blue men enforce.
