Our community would be so much better off if we could look more closely at the merit of the issues before us, rather than only at the names of the persons supporting or opposing them. And we'd lead much less stressful lives if we could respect one another's' different opinions, honestly fight the good fight, and then shake hands and move forward without being vocal, angry enemies for life.... Let us try to work in thoughtful, professional ways, even if we have different opinions.
melani, would you acknowledge that you respect the overwhelming opinion of so many of your neighbors that was demonstrated at the 13 feb 2007 meeting? where they gave their opinions, backed by the merits of their good reason, against the hotel?
have you fought the 'good fight' and supported your neighbors before any of the city agencies that have ruled on this hotel (phc, pcpc, the architect committee)?
have you understood why this is a zoning issue, and why it was important to uphold zoning as a way to protect both the mansion and the neighborhood -- as well as future properties throughout the neighborhood, whether they're historic or not?
the time to see this issue as more than just personal passed long ago. the time to come together and support and respect those with different opinions is still ahead of you, at the upcoming zba hearing.
