Really astounding that a supposed philanthropist can write a letter like this and at the same time allegedly dedicate her life to improving people's welfare (the definition of philanthropy). I get that objecting to the housing development doesn't necessarily imply she's not an effective philanthropist, but the strong wording and outright dismissal really makes me think that her motives for doing philanthropy are more about power and a feeling of importance than an actual concern for others.
