Quotes From the Film
"The best thing a neighborhood can do to get their ideas, concerns, and issues on the table - is that they have to organize. There has to be a body, there has to be a unified voice; there has to be the crowd. And many of them, believe it, have been very effective in the city of Phoenix.""Nobody wanted to develop in this area. When the city of Phoenix declared this a developing neighborhood, a development area, and developed . . . and implemented an infill program to entice contractors to come down here to build, then this area, this neighborhood took off."
