I don't necessarily subscribe to architectural Darwinism, but this reality
(any neighborhood without active defenders is slated for decline) is one I
have brougt up in my political campaign.  Knee-jerk ridicule/rejection of
neighborhood activism by media and politicians as "NIMBY-ism" is not
constructive if we want neighborhoods to survive and thrive.
