It should have made these expectations??of drunken, unwieldy, and massive crowds—clear to HUPD, which could have worked to keep the concert safe without shutting it down entirely.

The obligation—to sign a petition and forget about it—so insignificant and so menial, provides only a delusion of altruism; the radical expectations??that the just policy can be surgically and indirectly effected by economic manipulation—only sets us up for disappointment and disillusionment.Politics should be the preserve of reason, where arguments about the common good and the individual good are entertained, disputed, and resolved.
