Meh, none of this should surprise anyone.
Progressive have been training these people since birth to hate those who succeed. They've been violently attacking their enemies now for a while. But it is OK. The MSM will back them bc that is part of the end game.
There will be many, many more like this, and folks like SS will be happy to justify them for you with revisionist history. His media says it is so, so it must be so.

It's bad for you if it wasn't the neighbor's choice to bulldoze and you're the next one in the crosshairs.
Wait, how would it not be your neighbor's choice to sell their house to a developer who then puts another house there?
And same for you?
Or are you discussing rezoning of residential streets with homeowners? Because that shite is not that common. The main argument against gentrification is ruining of culture in neighborhoods. I live in an area in Nashville where people, who are likely on welfare or below the poverty line, are being offered half a million dollars for their lots, and most of them are taking it immediately. That is their choice. No one is making them and they are getting life changing money.

I generally try to see things from all perspectives as it helps me not to hate/judge harshly those with opposing viewpoints.
And I agree with this. I do this too. Like I said, I have neighbors who have vented to me about the old neighborhood being torn down for million dollar homes, then 2 months later sell their lot and move 5 miles away with 500k in their bank account.

I'm citing examples where powerful developers exerted influence on local gov't for their personal gain at the expense of common citizens through either the use of eminent domain, fraudulent inspections, or zoning.
Your Nashville example sounds exactly how private enterprise should work with both sides having close to equal leverage. Unfortunately, there have been cases where developers use their power to gain favorable terms offering below market value.

Nashville had really lax residential development regulation until recently, that really helped.
But all you need is big money developers to see the value in an area.

Are they paying taxes? Are they building houses or businesses that people need?
Fraud is illegal, shouldn't even be in the conversation.

You also a mayor and council that doesn't purposefully try and stifle progress to appease the lowest common denominators.
Unfortunately that doesn't apply to BR.

What he is saying is the rich have the power and resources to further exploit.
An example would be a rich real estate developer pressuring public officials to condemn a building filled with poors so that he can easily demo and rebuild for his own gain. One rich man is able to impact the lives of a thousand individuals. One poor man does not have the same ability.
One side will see the argument as the rich man's actions were good for society whereas the other side of the coin would see it as abusive of the poor.
JP Morgan is arguably the "greatest taker" in american history
I'm not saying I agree with the Social Scientists, but their idea has some merit.
Great example.
I would tend to argue the person with more power/resources that exploited others would be More of a drain / abusive to the greater good than a poor person that bought steaks on an EBT card.
NFL owners fit into this category. Their constant plead for public tax dollars to run their stadiums (which bring little economic value to anyone but themselves) as abusers and takers.
But some people just see them as rich people doing us a big service.

Damn. I wonder if that is from driver issue or if the VW really puts power to the ground better than the truck...

I am thinking he had a kayak or canoe tied to the top of the Porsche, rather than pulling one.

"The class of a Benz, but the Off road capability of a Pacer"
When they first started building the M-class here in Tuscaloosa, the plant built an off road test track to allow potential customers to drive an M-class to see how awesome it handled under those conditions. A friend of mine from high school worked for the excavating company that built the track. After they finished one of the German engineers commented that that track was perfect to display the capabilities. My friend laughed and told the engineer he could transverse the entire course in his 2wd Chevy S10.
Engineer didnt believe him and the guy just slowly drove it and as he passed the engineer he just laughed and waved at him.
Fancy cars have no business in an off road environment.

It's a facade and I figured you'd be smart enough to realize that.
