This past Wednesday was the first time I had ever received any notice about
any shoot although the street has been filled with trailers a few times
before. Certainly, no letters or door-to-door contact as you stated.
I agree town meetings become very sticky wickets here. Perhaps it is often
because rumors get started and people become riled about events that often
seem to be a "fait accompli". By the time any meeting is scheduled, it is
often to "calm the masses" or do damage control.
This is certainly true. The last "town meeting" this area had was over the Historic District proposal. This was in late April of last year, and was arranged by the proposal's advocates mainly because substantial opposition had emerged.
Obviously, nobody's knocking themselves out to _hold_ town meetings on _anything_, not even in advance of important issues that affect everyone. So it's extremely unlikely that Jeff's nightmare of continual town meetings would ever arise.
