[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every renter got the survey. That was made clear last night. The clear sentiment is anti development of the site. Affordable housing was supported but not on that site.

It was a despicable display of naïveté on the part of the ANC who along with the local clergy are being used as pawns in what are classic developer schemes to promise a little and get millions worth of public land for free.The ANC commissioners and their various groups simply do not have the sophistication or the work ethic to stand up to it.

The worst was the opening crying scene from one commissioner going on and on about how hard he’s working while trying to read an edited letter into the record - a letter no one had seen. It was such BS.

They have absolutely no backbone. They have no work ethic. They aren’t smart enough to get proper pro bono counsel and they roll their eyes saying it’s a done deal anyway. It was a shocking display of stupidity. Not only should they be voted out but all of their correspondence with any public or interested party should be shared immediately.

This is the most serious issue to hit the neighborhood in years and they are complaining that they are tired and it’s going to happen anyway . And they are just volunteers   They all need to go. They can’t even recognize a crisis when they create one.

Most of them run unopposed, and it is true they basically have no power.  ANC’s should either be eliminated or they should actually have some authority, in which case you would get better candidates.

All that said, they really don’t have any obligation to do much other than vote their say however they want.  They can be voted out at the end of their term…just like any elected official.
