Certainly if there's one demographic that's notoriously underrepresented at public meetings, it's people who own the single-unit detached houses they live in!

Actually, one of the persistent issues here is that ANCs tend to be young people who have all the time in the world on their hands, and they schedule meetings at times that are impossible for people with children (who tend to be the ones who live in single family homes) to attend. So, yes, they are underrepresented at these meetings.

Our ANC schedules meetings during the dinner hour. Typically, I'm rushing from work, to/from kids activities and then trying to get dinner ready then. Such times may work for incels with time on their hands but not for busy parents.

Are you a single parent? If not, what is the other parent doing while you are doing this, and why can't the other parent attend the meeting? Also, how old are your children, and if they're not small children, why are you doing things for them that they could do for themselves, every now and then, while you (or their other parent) are at a meeting?

No parent would ever ask such stupid questions

What about dog parents? They go to ANC meetings too.

If it's the same chairperson as in our ANC, she's bonkers.

Not sure which ANC you are in but that’s the opposite of ours. Meetings are at 7pm and many people with children attend (and many commissioners/committee members have kids too).
