I care about the neighborhood and the project too, Kimm. I try to think
honestly about the numbers before issuing pronouncements about them. I
accept I will never get a deep look into these numbers, but most
questions about a business plan -- including stuff as basic as "Will it
work well for neighbors?" do come down to numbers, at least in part.
It's not enough to say, for instance, "Oh, Lussenhop's numbers can't be
right"; we must say, "See here are our numbers, which are better than
Lussenhop's."
I'm more interested in fact-gathering than in judgement right now.

You seldom see UC-list's chattering class actually
running numbers on someone else's project.
I see. Citizens who are concerned about their neighborhood are now
reduced to “the chattering class.”

somebody's paperwork; I truly do not think business persons are
able to

At a second look, one might ask for a fuller presentation on some of
these points, if one cared enough or if it was one's business to make
decisions about them.
