If you're giving public comments saying things like "government sponsored access to hard drugs", it's really no wonder public comment isn't working out for you. If you're not known to be in a position to fund runs for competitive candidates in the next cycle (or to fund existing electeds you know to be on your side on this stuff), you should re-read Dale Carnegie before you attempt engaging again. I'm not snarking. You would not believe how much more effective it is just to not be another hyperbolic aggrieved person.


You’re not answering the question, and making unwarranted assumptions. Perhaps you should read Carnegie, not me.


Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.


As I think you can surmise from my first response to your comment, I don't agree at all with your premise. We just did the exact same thing your muni did, a block and a half from a high school and a block and a half from my house. I'm thrilled. But this very narrow policy dispute isn't interesting. You perceive my comment as a dunk on you, but I'm in fact trying to arm you to more effective work against my own policy interests, because I hate cynicism even more than I hate NIMBYism.
