This is the first I have heard of the squeeze on public parks, but I'm not surprised. If you or your family have any financial investment in a U.S. corporation. Sell Now and reinvest in China, India, or Europe, or maybe South America. The wealthy are already ahead of you, but it's not too late to cut and run with your own money. I always laugh when I watch CNBC now and see the little ticker with the phrase "Dow near Record High!" because, while technically the Dow Jones Average is numerically higher than in the past, the value of the dollar is in the toilet. Which means the Dow rally is just an illusion. Funny CNBC never mentions that. This parks issue is just another evidence of the stripping of American value. We should be nationally outraged because without the parks are private homes will be worth less. (worth less to us after we buy, but the developer does not care) Of course I am open to discussing the overhaul of all private property ( but not privacy) rights in America. The ones we have only benefit the most financially capable among us. Or as your deep pockets analogy suggests, are financially limited Americans being driven to sell out their lives for the smallest of rewards like a desperate Hurricane Katrina victim getting a $2000 debit card while our government guarantees the future wealth and security of financial elites and their future generations by guaranteeing profits for industries like insurance and pharmaceuticals, oil, military, banking. And those profits will likely go to elite investors first, while lesser Americans are banned from investing (for our own good no doubt), or linited to B-grade shares worth less and taxed more.
