AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

How ironic: The people of a city that arguably epitomises the 'mores' and materialism of capitalist ideology being exploited by rapacious neoliberalists.

“One thing you don’t need to make more of, is office space; you need to find a way to make what you have better, and you need to find a way to then supplement it with all the other activities that a healthy neighbourhood should have.” - Elie Gamburg (Lead Architect, KPF):
