Change is possible: Seattle's Westlake Ave Trail before/after
The super useful Westlake Trail was carved out of a publicly owned parking lot. It was absurdly controversial at the time, with the loudest opponents being a “super yacht” marina. Now it’s loved and no one wants to go back.

Second speaker is a local physician who was “cited in Forbes” and “grew up in poverty” and now lives in RB. Says this is a luxury project and won’t help housing crisis. Urges city to sue “like the current administration.” Repeats “Safety is a gray area.”

The thing about Jesse Jackson is that his most profound political legacy is convincing a buttload of mostly black people to register and vote in the 80s.
And the thing about that is every Dem presidential primary from ‘92 on has been won by the candidate that is most acceptable to those voters.
