If it wanted to, the NoVo in Kingston Foundation controlled by Peter and Jennifer Buffett has the assets to build dozens more examples of the not-for-profit $55-million, 74,000-square-foot The Metro complex off Greenkill Avenue in midtown Kingston — to which it offered a tour to the local press last Thursday afternoon.
Of course, NoVo in Kingston has no such intention. The Metro project, which Peter Buffett said last week would open in phases starting later this year, is going to be one of a kind....
...For The Metro, a sense of full participation is a necessary ingredient in the human dignity that accompanies the pursuit of happiness. If NoVo in Kingston is fully to succeed, it must include a stronger sense of participation in this project than it presently offers. That’s what social democracy is all about.
