Excellent article. Great history. So when Radburn went bankrupt due to the Depression, Rockefeller got his million dollar investment back, by selling off land, while Radburn homeowners lost their homes. And Rockefeller only made the investment to overcome the terrible publicity he had for getting union protestors killed. It took a bad conscience to fund such a risky idea as Radburn, but Radburn got built, and it influenced Walt Disney to build EPCOT. Good work Rick and Stephen, and even Jack helped.
