[quote]What would happen is that there would be no council member that cares about what happens in that area. Basic things like snowplows and pothole repair would happen less. School districting and parking concerns would be ignored. That area would be a sacrificial lamb to whatever city wide balance of power negotiations happen on big issues. It's not about money. It's about differing interests and representation. The area would be too small to have any influence on its Council race and would thus have its neighborhood interests ignored just like happens to Shaw and Hawthorne now.[/quote]

Shaw isn't neglected and I've actually been totally fine despite being redistricted.  Snowplows, potholes, etc  -- those things are happening centrally.  Are you saying that -- Ward 8 is poor, so they don't get resources like snowplows, schools, and pothole repairs?  Are you saying that you only get services based on how wealthy your ward is?

Come on - this is just plain silly fearmongering.  [/quote]
