[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any CM that votes in favor of the Chair’s half-assed last-minute scribbling is not only sending a big FU to the dozens of volunteers who spent countless hours balancing competing concerns to arrive at fair solutions but is also telling everyone else in the city to never bother volunteering their time to help the Council out.[/quote]

The task force didn’t balance anything.  Most went along with the “Smart Growth Split Squad” to bust up certain neighborhoods to create corridor commissions.  They simply chose to join ignore the overwhelming number of comments in the public record, more than 85% against the neighborhoods split.

Chairman Mendelson’s map undoes the task force’s damage while equalizing SMD size, which is the whole point of ANC redistricting.[/quote]

They chose to empower the people who live in apartments and condos on the corridors over the single family homeowners who have controlled these commissions for decades. You are just upset about being relegated to the status of a regular, rather than entitled, property owner.[/quote]

Seven of the nine ANC 3C commissioners rent apartments or live in multi-family buildings.  Another rents an ADU.  Only one commissioner lives in a single family house in ANC 3C (not including the ANC chair who lives much of the time in the SFH that he owns in Maryland).  So to say that single family homeowners someone “control” the ANC is simply Russian-style “disinformatsiya” (perhaps not so surprising considering the task force’s Trumpy associations).[/quote]
