Wow. There is > The community’s efforts to have a meaningful say in its future, in the face of top down development and crony capitalism, is a universal story being played out all across the US,” said director Mike Galinsky. Sounds like democracy, politics, or that bad part of democracy 'the tyranny of the majority'. Mike got elected and, one can believe, has tried to 'make NYC a great place'. In doing so, can believe he'd rather eat a fancy lunch with the Barclays guys than the Brooklyn neighbors of the development site. It's 'democracy' in that Mike was elected. There's an old comment on democracy: It's intention is just to avoid bloodshed. So, fight it out at the polls as a proxy for what it would be like if the sides met with weapons and fought it out to the death. So, we've avoided bloodshed. If we haven't been really fair or achieved 'social justice', if some 'little people' got stepped on, we expected something else? But, for such tyranny of the majority, courts and a constitution can be important fixes.
