Someone does have to make a judgement call as to who or what the "community" is. Even with that done, public "input" should not be confused with public "decision-making". Development of privately-owned land is regulated by the City but it is not an electoral process; the job of ZBA is not to reflect slavishly whatever the community wants, but to integrate community concerns with a host of other rights.
Dear Tony, This has been the source of my concerns and arguments about the vision of the economic development of this community and who gets to decide this all along. I have continued to raise these concerns on this listserv. Perhaps, now the message means something to those who are now affected by the governing few. This longstanding issue may finally get the attention it has deserved. What's wrong with that?
