[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can be recalled, but the best thing you can do is to hold them accountable.  Go to the meetings, ask questions.  Our ANC generally HATE single family homeowners and are always acting against their interests, so those people need to show up and let their voices be heard.[/quote]

Certainly if there's one demographic that's notoriously underrepresented at public meetings, it's people who own the single-unit detached houses they live in![/quote]

Actually, one of the persistent issues here is that ANCs tend to be young people who have all the time in the world on their hands, and they schedule meetings at times that are impossible for people with children (who tend to be the ones who live in single family homes) to attend. So, yes, they are underrepresented at these meetings. [/quote]

[i]Impossible[/i] for people with children to attend? Please do explain which meetings are [i]impossible[/i] for people with children to attend.

My next question will be why it's impossible for people with children who live in one-unit buildings to attend these meetings, but not impossible for people with children who live in multi-unit to attend these meetings, but first things first.[/quote]

I have kids and sometimes I forget how completely clueless people who don't have kids are about what it's like having children, and then I read comments like this, and remember: Oh yeah, they know literally nothing.

I'm the PP you're responding to, I have children, and it is precisely because I have children, and have attended a lot of meetings while having children, that I know it's not impossible for people with children to attend meetings.[/quote]
