The community fought City Hall \u2014 and presently won a battle energized by social media.<\/p>\n<p>The last time New York fell into the abyss, folks were pretty much on their own \u2014 isolated, aware of their own victimizations but lacking firsthand awareness of others\u2019 experiences.<\/p>\n<p>And so it took a long time \u2014 too long \u2014 to build a successful, reform-driven political coalition.<\/p>\n<p>But this time, maybe not so long?
