The New Republic has an excellent piece on Barry Diller's proposed $130 million Pier55 park: "Given the spectacular green oasis that Heatherwick has conjured up, it may seem petty to look this particular gift horse in the mouth. But the billionaire's island, as some New Yorkers have called the project, is the latest, most extreme example of how big money and business elites are warping the way America's urban parks are funded, widening the amenities gap between rich and poor neighborhoods."
