A case study in how to implement an anti-democratic power grab by decorating it with buzzwords like "helping marginalized people".

The crux of the story is that they no longer want city planning decisions to have any public input, therefore they killed off the neighborhood councils by implying they were racist because they weren't "inclusive" enough. Despite the fact that no replacement mechanism for democratic public input was implemented, the article makes it sound like removing public input is a great thing.

Note that NextCity is staffed and funded by anti-American warmonger outfits like Brookings, The Rockefeller Foundation, The Ford Foundation, etc. etc.

This is how you lose your democracy folks!
