Thanks for the reply -- I think your comment about Palo Alto being a "finished painting" has some ring of truth to it. There are some "tricks" to getting things done more efficiently in Palo Alto. For example if you ask every stakeholder their opinion ahead of proposing a change, you tend to get far less reviews, protest, etc. after the fact. There are folks here who really want to be included, but many more people who are satisfied knowing their concerns have been heard.
