Whether during the initial 'stakeholder' meetings, during the two-day follow-ups, or the public review you attended, the feeling was always the same -- not enough people engaged, not representative of the demographic of the city, and certainly not enough of the 'out-of-the-box' thinkers required to plan for the next 50 years. Protest or boredom -- the result is still the same, a document that was framed by politics instead of unabashed optimism.

I did leave early, and thought the process somewhat primitive and silly, but I left more from boredom than as a protest. I hope you don't mean ME as the person who "walked out."
