[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About me: Really don't have strong feelings about MMH. Super-large SFHs have already negatively impacted flooding, lack of diversity, on-street parking (because people who can afford these homes often have more cars than they do drivers), so I see the damage as being done, regardless of whether these large houses have one family or 4.

If Vihstadt or someone similar were on the ballot, I would vote for that person because I think we need alternative voices on the board. I'm not sure Clement's voice is anything other than a naysayer. And Theo is a non-starter for other reasons.

My understanding is that de Ferranti has made statements indicating he supports compromise, at least on MMH. But who is behind all those homemade signs accusing him of dishonesty?

I guess I'm currently leaning toward MDF, but I do want to send the message that the CB does not have carte blanche and needs to listen to constituents.[/quote]

Your best bet is MDF. I say that as a Theo supporter. MDF is committed to scaling back the missing middle plan, even though he knows it costs him support from voters like me. He has refused contributions from developers. It created a minor controversy when he publicly said he was returning a contribution, so maybe that’s what those signs are about? I don’t like MDF constantly compromises on major issues, but he is honest and genuinely tries to find consensus. You can feel good about voting for him. [/quote]
