Oh - I don't doubt it.
Obviously not privy to all of the backroom (or even public for that matter) negotiating re Pilsen Landmark District but what were the efforts to compromise, provide offsetting benefits, ease permitting process/costs, community outreach/buy-in, etc etc - especially since it did not take a professional political tea leaf reader to realize that this Landmark legislation was DOA at least back in the spring/summer if not earlier?
