Most people are not interested in local politics, not even those of New York City. And it’s difficult to get them sufficiently interested to learn enough to be governmentally effective. This essay doesn’t explain why exactly NYC politics are interesting. But it does explain why anyone who wants to make the city bigger and better will be helpless to do so without a minimum viable understanding of its political system.
Interesting analogy to use a door to describe interacting with government, I like it. I can see how in the face of bewilderment, people turn to "destroy it all"!
