Why? I mean, you can't tell people their life depends on knowing something and then not tell them.
I suspect they mean that some people in the area have an aligned agenda (not necessarily conspiring, just aligned) of trying to push the tech industry back out of the city, because they resent the gentrification. Can’t speak to the life depends on it part, but I suppose it’s an allusion to the dangers of crime.
I'll bite. Can you please expand on what you mean by this?
I'm not who you are asking but one thing to consider is you can't have a revolution without revolutionary conditions, or put more simply, revolutions don't generally happen when times are going good.
