Losing

Still losing.

It is at the point where the entire system has been thrown into chaos. Councilmembers are being given assurances unreviewed properties will not be knocked down in their districts at the exact moment those properties are in fact being knocked down. Either the city has no control over its contractors, or the administation has no compunction lying directly to the council.

Either way, carefully crafted - and functional - democratic processes have been thrown under bulldozers because of a massive lack of leadership and an abundance of duplicity.
