So who does? People who don't live in the city, or attend the school?
They at least have a stake, as evidenced by ballot items pertaining to the city and their school. Or do you believe that's wrong?
- kelnos 9y agoExactly: they have a stake. That shouldn't give them the right to make unilateral "no" decisions for everyone else, but that's basically what we have in SF.
- sliverstorm 9y agoI don't live in SF but it sounded like the community was making unilateral "no" decisions, which is what happens when all the stakeholders get together and agree. To which, the system is working exactly how it was designed. Does one person actually have the power to make unilateral decisions in SF?
- kelnos 9y agoMore or less. Only a small minority of the community needs to complain, and that can delay or completely scuttle projects. The people who do complain usually do so loudly and obnoxiously, which really gets the gov't's attention for some reason.
