The costs would be dramatically higher (based on the increases in real estate value). Evidence of this can be seen with comments from John Connolly (an aide to Flynn) who said, "The fundamental opportunity to create a public open space in what has to be considered ground zero of the city's financial district is an opportunity that comes less than one's lifetime. There was a unique set of circumstances that allowed people to even consider it both on the private and public side. The city did not have to pursue a strategy of selling that particular parcel for the highest short-term financial goal. Instead, we looked at the parcel from a long-term context."

What the Mayor's Office determined, is that this property will help to develop Boston's financial district. This meant that city officials looked at the situation from a point-of-view that was in the best interests of the entire community. As a result, they decided to build a park at Post Office Square based on the potential benefits it will provide to: visitors and businesses.

(Formisano 69) Formisano analyzes the specific actions taken against busing by different groups and the response of the authorities to these actions. He also notes how similar actions occurred in other cities where integration was moving forward, including San Francisco and Chicago. Actions in these cities constituted the beginning of resegregation and increasing ghettoization. Boston became a symbol of what not to do. To assure that his order was followed,
Generally, it works by either giving a reward for an encouraged behavior, or taking something away for an undesirable behavior. By doing this, the patient often increases the good behaviors and uses the bad behaviors less often, although this conditioning may take awhile if the rewards and removals are not sufficient to entice the patient into doing better. Existentialism is important to discuss here as well, and is often seen

In his study of the camp doctors, he noted, The willingness to blame Jews for Germany's troubles, making them "arch enemies of Germany." The nation was itself reduced to an abstract essence, threatened by its enemies and in need of sacred renewal and purification, through blood sacrifice if necessary. One's identity as a German, as the Nazis defined it, crowded out other possible roles. As the embodiment of this "holy,
