Huge difference, I think, between attending a group's meeting and "embracing them." I think the new council and mayor need to meet with everyone. Now, if they only meet with PRAC and then refuse to meet with tenants or tenants rights groups, that's a real problem. But, as Doug Grow noted in his excellent Sunday column, purism just got whomped in the past election. If RT, Robert, Dean, and Natalie are beginning what is an open-door policy to all groups, then I think that's good. Why not send 'em an invite to Project 504 and tell us what happens, Gregory?
