And Then There's The Chavez Ravine Story, If You Have A Few Hours

This article decries how Russia is evicting people from their homes to build the Olympics venues for the next Winter games. And that's bad. But where was the outcry when people were evicted from Brooklyn homes and businesses to build that airplane-hangar of an arena for the Nets? Same thing, same "eminent domain," same result, and the New York papers looked the other way, only reporting on the questionable deals and tax giveaways and use of eminent domain to benefit a private business AFTER it was too late. Nobody seems to pay attention until there's nothing anyone can do. (Agence France-Presse via Vancouver Sun)
