Is Austin selling itself out to the highest bidder?

The only thing left on YouTube of this documentary about the proposed development of Austin's Zilker Park is its trailer--someone told YouTube that the content violated copyright law, but the content is just a city meeting filled with citizen protests.

The film had been on YouTube--I simply had used a Google search to get to the trailer. A new version of the film has been uploaded now--though the questions about Austin&#x27;s mayor and city council remain. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=5NwJLvfPsYE">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=5NwJLvfPsYE</a>

As an austin native this is beyond tragic and sad. I returned to Austin after a number of years in New York. Although I still like my home town it&#x27;s sad to see how much has gone away and been replaced with things finance bros or transplants from CA might like.<p>Zilker is just another domino to fall in what I used to love and remember from my time growing up in austin.

Why is this link a Google search result, that immediately self-closes the tab upon clicking? This is on Firefox on Mac.

Take the current situation with San Francisco as a clear example of where this leads.

Update: Mayor Watson just shelved the Zilker Vision Plan.
