There were about twenty citizens and a handful of housing activists and developers attend the Monday, Housing Element "workshop" on Monday, October 8th. After you get through the blah, blah, blah, essentially the whole meeting was a proposal to "streamline development" for low income housing developers so they don't need to be "burdened" with the same level of public scrutiny as the rest of us. "Ministerial" approval (i.e. a politician or bureaucrat) is all that is required to fast track low income development and radically change our neighborhoods.
The "workshop" allowed public comment but there were very few answers given. We came to learn. The came to sell. Of course, they will call this a "public workshop" but only a few of us could attend at 1pm on a Monday afternoon.
This is unacceptable. We need to be part of the process. Stand up be heard.
