This is absolutely what NIMBYs had been relying on in Cleveland Park.

Pre-Covid, you had maybe 20 people at an average ANC meeting or 40-50 if there was something controversial. Now, with Zoom/etc you can get hundreds of people engaged, which seems a lot better.
I get that not everyone is tech savvy or has an internet connection, so some in-person is still necessary, but in places like Cleveland Park or Chevy Chase, where the complaints are the loudest, such is not the case.

I’m pretty sure that OP is advocating for online meetings. Are you another very confused YIMBY?
OP here, I think PP above was simply agreeing with me. Are you another victimized, confused NIMBY?

Can we all agree that these just suck for everyone because the public spaces they are hosted out of were never intended to handle microphones and speaker acoustics at the scale of a modern conference room? Let's just go back to Zoom only meets, so everyone can multitask in their PJs, please.
