John @localcelebrity.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I get that alders need organizers to help provide cover and boost support for issues under their direct control but in my opinion this is beyond the scope of such a thing. Did you have one for the upzone? 200
Alder Andre Vasquez, Political Account @andrefor40th.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Hmm, we don’t need organizers to provide cover, we need organizers to build movements to cause change rather than to just rage on social media about it. There’s a privilege in urbanist inaction We had multiple public meetings to explain, discuss, and get feedback from neighbors before the upzoning. 100
John @localcelebrity.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Sure. Thats standard. Some urbanists hate that. I think it can be excessive, but I generally think it’s necessary. Why not use such a process here, why a referendum? Especially since that process can accommodate people who use a corridor unrestricted by where/if they can vote. 200
