The magazine features an interview with Brian Kelcey, an urban policy consultant who led the project along with Eidelman.
He says he and Eidelman first met over Twitter. They bonded over their mutual frustration with the process at city hall.
“In Gabriel’s case, he had been bringing 山ǿ students to see city council firsthand, and his students were walking away baffled and a little bit dumbfounded by what they were seeing,” Kelcey says in the article.
