The issue is state ownership of property more than anything else. If it was truly a public space, drinking a beer wouldn’t be a problem at all.

That’s not what public space means by any modern definition of the word.

This is still trying to equate public with anarchy, but they’re very different concepts.

Just because people conflate “public” with “state-owned” doesn’t mean it’s somehow not state owned.

Call it “unowned” property if you want. It doesn’t matter.

Anarchy doesn’t mean chaos either, it means without rulers. You’re conflating those terms as well.
