Production companies aren't usually that callous, and there's the city's film production office to deal with, so it's my guess that the producers of _Hack_ must have spoken to _someone_ about filming in our neighborhood. Whoever or whatever that was, they didn't seem to have notified anybody about the way _Hack_'s production would affect our neighborhood.
Now I'm watching the students return, and there's the more-than-usual glut of cars along our streets, and I'm wondering if any local production in the fall's going to create even _more_ problems. And frankly, I'd rather not have _Hack_ move into some other place for filming; like I said, it's another reason to be proud of the neighborhood.
So I'd like to throw out a general, open-question thing to this list. Has there been any kind of open community discussion about this? Has there been any attempt to develop methods for handling the parking situation? Has production helped out local economy in any big way (i.e., does the crew ever eat food that's not catered?) Has anyone experienced any impact-- good, bad, whatever-- as a result of the production?
