The Unforeseen

documentary

Average folks versus developers in Austin Texas. This was anti-developer big-time (funded by Robert Redford) and while I agreed with all their arguments and support efforts like this to stop the madness of suburban sprawl, this desecration of the American landscape won't stop until economic forces make it unprofitable. 

So there's a tinge of sadness watching a story like this. Like watching someone trying to stop a devastating flood with a shovel. It's heartening to see the effort but hopelessly futile in the long run.
