As always, you paint with a very broad brush, B.  Not everyone in the south side of town supports these SAZs, no matter where they are. Also, the people in this neighborhood are not what you'd call affluent, it's a working-class neighborhood. I'm on the South Side but oppose the Oakleigh Meadows fiasco; Paul Conte is on the west side and fights for South Willamette.

Of course people are more vocal about problems in their own neighborhood than those of others. How could that not be?

I've never felt the need to drive to a parking lot to go for a walk, either.
