A line from Naomi Klein's "No Logo" mesmerized me:

What haunts me is not exactly the absence of literal space so much as a deep craving for metaphorical space: release, escape, some kind of open-ended freedom.

In addition to that, I feel an even deeper craving for that literal space, the very physical unmarketed public space and space filled with non-human life. It's too easy to equate those with space devoid of people, rather than brands/corporations, so it's hard not be misanthropic.
