Democracy in action

Or as the Stones song goes "You can't always get what you want".

Norma Heyser is an activist. She has been her whole life. She helped organize her neighborhood of single family homes to oppose a library which was too large.

Now she wants to tear down her single family home and put six condos on it for senior housing and the neighborhood is saying NO. And she is not happy that the people she encouraged to become involved and active in the neighborhood oppose her plan strongly.

Democracy is the will of the people, even when the people oppose your ideas as Heyser is finding out.
