Growth comes with costs. On this episode of Here\'s The Thing, Alec Baldwin talks to two individuals who are protecting places\\xa0that are most vulnerable to development and destruction.

Andrew Berman\\xa0has been called one of the most powerful people in New York real estate, but not because he\'s a deep-pocketed developer. Berman is the Executive Director of The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, where he advocates\\xa0for the protection and conservation of historically important buildings and sites, including cultural touchstones like the Stonewall Inn. Rob Synder works with\\xa0thousands of individuals\\xa0living\\xa0on islands off the coast of Maine. His organization\\xa0Island Institute\\xa0develops community alliances, economic programs, and sustainability\\xa0initiatives to ensure that island culture remains vibrant, and that local resources remain intact\\xa0as climate changes and development encroaches.
