Too bad he has no say in the Attainable Housing Strategies ZTAs that Friedson and Fani-Gonzalez are having heard at tomorrow's council meeting.  It's all smoke & mirrors, anyway, since his vetoes always get overriden by the special-interest-beholden councilmembers.

And he hasn't shown he will play hardball to protect communities, either.  Knowing those vetoes will be overriden on an individual basis, he should know that his objection would only carry force if he were to threaten action unfavorable to certain councilmembers [i]outside[/i] of those development-related bills in order to achieve compromise.

Much as he might be preferable to any of those (Friedson, Glass, Jawondo) now salivating at the prospect of the open CE seat, what with the voters being duped into the term limit vote last November, his refusal to double down on his vetoes makes his role one of paper tiger.  As that is self-inflicted, one might think he is just part of the machine, appointed to play the role to keep folks from realizing that it is all a show.[/quote]
