i'd like to get a book of olmsted, as we're living within his vision in our park. 150 years ago he saw today. saw the rich can always buy their own green space, and the people have none, who need it desperately. he wanted to give the people who lack money and power green spaces for health and sanity.
the idea that today a man of power and privilege would defile olmsted's green vision and confiscate free space granted to the people, one who purports to be for community, makes me sick of soul. the idea that the rich who could buy anything can take the peoples land not only for free but in addition make them pay is the idea that the people are nothing but slaves to money, and money changes everything, money rules, money is king.
