PS. I would like to join Maggie in her feelings about your private posting to her of your complaints about me. I think it proves that you have no interest in doing anything but stirring the pot. Her question was asked on the list. Why was it not answered on the list? Also dishonesty is clear to me if I compare your posts to this lists to the ones you make on the UCNeighbors list. You know the ones. They compare the people at last weeks meeting with a bus full of strangers from Pittsburgh and ask for legal precedents for marginalizing renters and students. It's hateful, arrogant behavior.
Ladies and gentlemen, here Frank displays his own deep and severe dishonesty. He's lying.

Here is what was posted, by Tony West, on that list:

"This is one question that gnaws at me. I don't know the answer, Mike, but there must be an answer in code or case law somewhere: how close to a given zoning variance do you have to live -- or own property -- in order to have a voice in the "public input" part of a zoning hearing? (As a side question -- does zoning law draw a distinction between owners and renters?) It seems intuitively fair that if I want to enclose my porch, and all the neighbors on block block say they're cool with that, they couldn't then be outweighed by two busloads of open-porch lovers who show up at my zoning hearing from Pittsburgh to condemn my project."

Sure isn't like what Frank tried to say, isn't it? There's no "hateful, arrogant" content to any of this. Instead, we find that Tony was raising a question of community voices versus distance, illustrated his question with a reasonable analogy. Anyone who reads the English language can see that there is no insult, no bullying, no "hateful" or "arrogant" content.

The fact is obvious: Frank is lying about what Tony's been saying on the other list.
