We the citizens pick up the costs of broken neighborhoods, destroyed local history, destroyed green space, intensification of traffic, increased noise pollution and stress, environmental degradation, etcetera... In the face of this development onslaught, it would be expected that community organization would be sprouting up as a counter weight - but nothing happens, we just submit to authority and things go on as they have..... Time for a change, it is time to defend our neighbourhoods with the same intensity that the propagandist for the developers utilize to support the legalized pillaging of our neighbouhoods and public spaces.
