Well I agree and disagree with that. Yes people should get more involved in general. This is something that comes up from time to time and eventually it comes down to people going to meetings and such instead of just going on and on about NIMBY's here. Personally, I see no great conspiracy that justifies some of the more drastic actions being discussed here. No matter who gets put in charge they will never have unfettered power under the law and they will probably just f*** it up, they always do and there is historic precedent to that. It's clear the problem is caused by the city's success and that it can be fixed within the law just like the water supply via the MWRA, the Big Dig, the new convention center, and any other physical hurdle to this great future that the city has faced in our lifetime.
