And dollars to doughnuts she'll blow up the meeting, and come out and claim the judge is in on the corruption. What does she gain by "compromising?" It's not where her power lies.<br /><br />Of course Boyd isn't going to get anything. That's not the point. It's the fact that she is the only one sitting at ANY table - the only non-developer side of the conversation. THAT'S THE TAKEOVER. And a talk with the individual developers would not even have been necessary had the neighborhood decided collectively where and how high to allow new development.<br /><br />Perhaps I've overstated the case. Believe it or not I'm not really that upset. But I would love it if others would catch the grudge and do something, because it's damn sure no one else is going to. I've got enough headaches on my own block to be bothered with what's happening way up north.Clarkson FlatBedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463744536115119388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-72914389251966640222019-09-24T12:59:25.667-04:002019-09-24T12:59:25.667-04:00Alicia Boyd sucks, but the way this is framed is i...Alicia Boyd sucks, but the way this is framed is insanely exaggerated. Boyd & her crew are suing the developers, the judge is looking to avoid a trial by having closed door negotiations. Anything negotiated only pertains to Boyd & co's lawsuit. <br /><br />If they come to an agreement, this particular suit will be dropped. That doesn't prevent anyone else in the neighborhood from disagreeing with the proposed plan and bringing their own lawsuit against the developers.

And here I was naïve enough to think that Boyd might, for once, be on the right side of an issue. Bob Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734112800580467028noreply@blogger.com
