What was and what will be




When I heard about the protests against a retirement condo replacing this community garden I knew I needed to take a picture of it. Then, for many months, nothing happened. The garden was still there, the old folk were tucked away in the condos they'd already built half a block away. Now, everything is gone. I think they left one tree, probably because it's actually on somebody else's property. I thought some compromise had happened, that the developer had agreed to keep a portion of the garden there, but clearly they have killed and trampled everything. Our ever-increasing elderly population need places to live, yes. But this just makes me horribly sad.
