Reply to comment by bklyn1977 in Upper West Side votes against proposed rest stop for delivery workers at 72nd Street by mowotlarx

there's no "involvement" when the "representatives" are unelected. CBs are an overcorrection from Robert Moses and simply exist to empower NIMBYs.

The participants at my meetings are neighbors and lifelong residents. Taking away this forum is a disservice to the community. Why fight for less means of involvement?

Make them elected then, not political appointees. It's still a bastion of NIMBY power though, and that power needs to be eroded.
