@MilesPerHoward Where’s that effort now that the proposal was pulled? Is their mission environmental Justice for communities around the park that have historically been underserved or for the residents who are moving in as the park is improved?
A lot of resistance to development is waged in bad faith by self-interested, privileged parties. But it can also speak to structural racism and substantive concerns about displacement. I'm only interested in urbanism that reckons with both of these things. Not just the first one.
