Answer:

That line was written by George W. Plunkitt (The former Senator of New York)  in his book.

When he said that line, he was referring to the time when he know that the government is planning to make improvements in his city. At that time , the government was planning to built a lot of infrastructure that will most likely attract more investment to the city.

Plunkitt saw this as a huge opportunity. So, Plunkitt decided to buy several lands on a cheaper price while speculating that the value will most likely increase in the future,.

Was everyone in the Spanish colonies angry for the smae reasons
AleksAgata [21]

No. Society in the Spanish colonies was divided into a complex system of Castes. The peninsulares, i.e. Spaniards arrived from the Iberic Peninsula, were at the top, while the natives and black slaves were at the bottom, in the middle were the Criollos (children of Spanish parents but born in the Americas) and the Mestizos (children of a Spanish parent with a native) were in the middle. Each caste was angry for different reasons, the ones at the bottom (black and native slaves) wanted freedom, while criollos and mestizos wanted to be allowed into positions of power.
