[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had mixed feelings about this question. I think Elrich is about as good as we will have, especially because he is not in the pocket of developers. So I would have liked a third term for him, and I think the timing of this ballot initiative is pretty suspect and is being driven by the people who want to destroy single-family zoning. But as a general matter, I think two terms is enough, so I voted for the measure. [/quote]

For someone who admires Elrich for not being in the developers' pockets, it's odd you voted exactly the way developers wanted you to.[/quote]

DP. You think it's rational to mindlessly vote against anything developers support regardless of any other benefits those policies could have? That's a weird thing to be a single-issue voter based on.[/quote]

Also a DP but I think it’s very strange to say “I wish Erhlich could serve a third term but I am voting for a measure designed precisely so he can’t”.

I mean the whole argument against term limits is it deprives you of capable people that you’d want to vote for and here is PP saying that is exactly what is happening but they are voting for it anyway. [/quote]
