Hedge fund guy tries to build "church", with very broad mission statement that seems non-religious. Neighbours kick up shit because that's New Canaan's favorite hobby, and complain that liberal land use policies afforded to religious-use land don't apply and mount legal challenge. Mission statement gets re-vamped. Thing gets built anyway. Neighbours ultimately fuck off. Controversial building now somewhere you can go to do free stuff on weekend.

Did I miss anything?

You know why this kind of stuff does not piss me off, because if the shoe was on the other foot it could easily be you or I doing the same damn thing.
