Several people who spoke, however, expressed ambivalent reactions --
which are not reflectable in a show of hands. Yet ambivalence is
perfectly normal about a complex proposal, for many people at least.
It's reasonable to assume some people who didn't raise their hands were
undecided.
The safest way to rate the sentiment of this particular meeting is to
note that opinions were split, and that neither the Pros nor the Cons
appeared to speak for the majority or to carry the day.

The poll Chris OD attempted was clearly jive, but, in the interest of
accurate reporting, I have to agree with Melani on the apparent result.
I was seated in the back of the room by the door with a clear view of
the audience. As much as I love Chris OD and understand why he
doesn't want the added traffic from this hotel a block from his house,
I think he saw the result that he wanted to see rather than the slight
edge that went to those who supported the concept of an 11-story
erection at 40th and Pine.
There were a number of people who chose not to vote, and I doubt that
they were all "undecided".
By the time Chris got up to speak, quite a few people had left as the
hammer-TLus portion of the evening got underway.
And the representative from the Committee of 70 left in tears (that
last part was total fabrication, but... you get my drift).
