My city has tried to co-opt that term to mean (relatively) quick and cheap projects led (and paid for) by the community, but with city approval. On one hand, it's better than nothing, but on the other hand, the permitting still takes like a year and so it feels more like a half-assed government project than a legitimized community project.

I can't decide whether to be pissed off about them calling it "tactical urbanism" or to just let them have the term and call actual unsanctioned improvements "guerilla urbanism" or something instead.
