The problem is that they get results, because they are the only people speaking up! This has to change. We blame city hall for bending t their pressure, but I rarely see any organized counter-pressure in this regard.

I've never been to any public meetings but I get a feeling part of the problem may be that the people who are opposed are very vocal about it but the people are supportive keep very quiet. Maybe us supporters needs to get to these meetings waving pompoms and chanting in support of these developments.
