They went over Ralph Lupin's head

The Tweeters are telling me that the City Council just overrode the Vieux Carre Commission's silly obstinate denial of residential solar panel installation in the Quarter. Probably referring to this. Good to see common sense overcome one of these ridiculous preservation fiefdoms every once in a while.

What does the VCC do again?

While powerless to do anything about the spread of noisy nuisance tourist traps, it's a real bitch when it comes to preventing French Quarter residents from availing themselves of common sense energy efficient technology.

Priorities.
