That blog entry was so nauseating I honestly couldn't finish it, but I'm glad I read your post as I otherwise wouldn't have caught that bit about 'I was almost homeless but I've got granite counter-tops and a hardwood floor'. As someone that grew up poor and is still living in a decaying urban area ravished by poverty and crime, I am just beyond insulted with these developers at this point. I wish I never even learned of their existence. Pound for pound, the bit about them getting grant money is still the single most infuriating thing about this story for me, even if they're on the other side of the planet and its coming from a government I have nothing to do with. There is so much misery in this world that that money could go towards and these losers get it instead AND turn around and throw this 'Fight the power!' malarkey in our faces on top of it. Fuck you, you are the power, and I hope we all live to see you learn  7fe1   that lesson in the most humiliating way possible.
