[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really, any major zoning change should require a supermajority of support. Making neighborhood changes with 51% of support in either direction is short sighted. [/quote] Then run for office on that platform. In the real world, the proper process and law has been followed.[/quote] Any process that has 49% of the people hating 51% of the people is bad government. But you do you. [/quote] Not only is it bad policy it's also the exact opposite of what the role of an ANC is. Also remember that these same people are opposed to any sort of neighborhood referendum on any of these issues. But as long as notices were posted in the classified section of El Tiempo and two telephone polls then it is a ok.[/quote] our laws and process are not established or set up for 'rule by referendum' - that is why we have ANCs and Councilmembers.[/quote] That's why we have Councilmembers and referendums. ANCs are not legislative bodies. Their purpose is to help citizens access government services not to make policy.[/quote]
