No, just someone who doesn't want to live in a world where the answer to problems is "let the state take control."

...yet. But soon a few blocks become a few more blocks, and a few more blocks...
What's the hurry? Why is time of the essence? Are people and companies leaving the city that I am not aware of? Last I checked, NYC was doing pretty well for itself.
And even if time were of the essence, it's not like the government is some fast-moving body that gets things done in a hurry. The private sector, on the other hand, is.

A district that benefits thousands in improvements, jobs, etc for the next several decades. That's why I want the government to stay the hell out of it.
