Disregarding time-honored urban planning principles and manipulating a desperate need in the African-American community for jobs and affordable housing, they pushed their own interests forward--luxury housing and a 20,000 seat sports arena. The film poses vital, timely questions that are relevant to cities across the country: What is the proper use of eminent domain? What role does environmental and economic justice play in government-sponsored projects? Who does represent the community? Should traffic-intensive projects be approved without mandatory mitigation measures? Should taxpayer money go to acquire private property for a sports arena? What and who determines if an area is "blighted?" Does the public have a right to know about the use of public finances in large-scale real estate projects? 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 City planning|zNew York (State)|zNew York|xCitizen participation. 650 0 Abuse of administrative power|zNew York (State)|zNew York. 650 0 Eminent domain|zNew York (State)|zNew York. 650 0 Abuse of administrative power. 650 0 City planning|xCitizen participation. 650 0 Eminent domain. 650 0 Politics and government. 651 0 Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.)|xPolitics and government. 651 0 New York (State)|zNew York. 651 0 New York (State)|zNew York|zBrooklyn. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Hill, Isabel,|efilm director. 710 2 New Day Films (Firm),|4dst 710 2 Kanopy (Firm),|4dst 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/295226|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/295226/external -image
