For starters, Occupy Santa Cruz has been generating interest for weeks. Of course, after the recent riots at an Occupy Oakland rally, it\u2019s hard not to step back and take a broader look at the Occupy Wall Street movement that has\u00a0 swept the nation. (In an odd bit of timing, the new futuristic film In Time\u2014not the best, but not bad\u2014mirrors what\u2019s happening in the country right now and addresses topics such as redistributing the wealth.

Economically, could it change things for the better? The matter heads to City Council on Tuesday Nov. 8.
