Ugh it appears the Dems and some Reps want to get donations from developers by overriding the will of their local voters. This is completely unacceptable. Lobbyists in Washington and not be able to steamroll local communities to benefit their special interest groups. Zoning is a local issue and Congress should stay out it. [/quote]

As a Dem, we are ridiculous. We can't build nice things because it takes forever. We take the local zoning thing too far. The fact that you can delay something through litigation for more than 10 years and the thing gets built anyway is ridiculous.

I live near McMillan reservoir in DC. 11 years of litigation by a group of people who did not represent most in the neighborhood, only for it to be developed anyway.

A few were able to delay what the neighbors wanted and needed. [/quote]

+1. I live in a neighborhood where the “neighbors” pulled out all the stops (including extensive litigation) to block a PRESCHOOL. [/quote]
