Another editorial in the ABH on LPDS. It does a good job of laying out once again all of States' ridiculous shenanigans last week and how silly he looks. However, it basically ends up saying that this behavior is bad for his constituents because he can't be taken seriously on the LPDS issue, and that therefore he can't do his job for them (which apparently, in the opinion of this editorial, is to keep LPDS from happening). Using that rationale, I'd say he's doing his constituents a great service by ensuring that the LPDS opposition can't be taken seriously.
Way to go, Lameduck Yosemite.

You have a nice site with entertaining information. Several of my neighbors told me about it.
I am curious about the information you have gathered about the Cedar Creek homeowners association. I have been a member for many years and know that the majority of my neighbors are opposed to this rezoning. The board has also been fair in their approach of us but that is not what gets into the press. Certainly States' actions are unfortunate and not indicative of the homeowner association's rational conclusions. Hopefully he has not jeopordized some logical concerns.
But have you or the ABH contacted any of the board members directly? It seems like a tale of 2 stories.
As to your question, no, we haven't been in touch with the Homeowner's Association over there, although the internet does work two ways.
As to the ABH, I'm not sure what angles they're researching, but I would assume, knowing the usual professionalism of their staff, that they've at least attempted to contact the Association.
But, since you've reached out to us here, what are your legitimate concerns? Of course, we're going to try to convert you, but we would like to hear what the neighborhoods are saying. (as, we imagine, would the LPDS team)
Obviously, the people who put out this blog are LPDS partisans, and one reason why we are is because the LPDS folks have been transparent in their approach, and have solicited community input. My understanding is that they've also modified the plans based on the input they've received. (Try getting that from most Athens developers.)
Anonymous should be congratulated for his/her input. Non-confrontational and very professional. I sincerely hope that more insight will be forthcoming from this person. What this issue needs is rational discussion. I applaude his/her as well as the Athens Politics staff for their response.
This is Community Action at its best.
It was daylight when he knocked on my door once upon a time, but maybe he has really strong sunscreen.
