Community garden, woman, and children to deter crime

Posting frequency is being effected by 'real' work and a little event in South Africa.

I enjoyed this video featuring a Grizzly Man-like urban advocate in San Francisco, nicknamed 'Mad Viking.'

The Mad Viking is using a community garden in order to attract neighbours, including woman and children, which is then deterring crime at an underutilized yet beautiful hill-top park.

Any places in Victoria where this strategy could/should be implemented?

Two things:

1) A lot of discussion about this site happens on facebook; so, I would recommend finding the site (link on the right sidebar) and me there.

2) I'm experimenting with non-sign-in commenting to encourage more discussion (the 2 minutes it takes to create a google/other account seems like too much trouble).

Being 'anonymous' is pretty lame, so at least make up a fake name to use.
