OCP Round II

The citizens have been appalled and then some.


They've voiced their opposition to change in their sea-side town time and time again to no avail. Now its time to review the OCP, a document which council has demonstrated it can alter at will. How does one maintain faith in a democratic process and participatory democracy when the actions of citizens do nothing to influence the actions of council. How long can they fall back on a "silent majority" for support while a vocal minority feel ignored and are rapidly becoming disenchanted with the process?

Random telephone survey says 52% of residents surveyed feel there are already too many high-rises in WR, interesting since the Bosa towers have yet to be built. This next version of the OCP will surely include some amendments which will support the controversial moves of the council in the last few years. Is this what the residents of this city want? If they don't- its time to get involved while they still have a forum and a cause however non-binding the final result is.
