Ms. Bender, Mr. Moss and Ms. Ogawa do qualify as regular attendees at these meetings, but hardly as opponents of housing. Ms. Chiapella might also qualify (Note: correct spelling - whatever happened to the newspaper dictum of ensuring that you spell names correctly).
Ms. Probst, who is not characterized as a "regular," is in fact a regular speaker at hearings on housing, always as an advocate. She is not remembered to have ever expressed even the slightest reservation about any housing project, regardless of size, location or design.
Ms. Ashton has never taken a position against housing. She attended this meeting as the chair of the Midtown Residents' Association and made a statement supporting the concerns of residents including those about noise and visual impacts. She was co-chair of the Advisory Group that developed the Individual Review process and has testified for homeowners against dilatory objections to plans to remodel their homes.
Mr. Moran attends Planning and Transportation Commission occasionally, focusing on issues related to transportation, such as the Bicycle Plan and the redesign of El Camino (he was a member of the Citizens Advisory Group). His planned presentation focused on the developer's questionable numbers about traffic impacts, but had to be truncated because the developer failed to submit the required traffic analysis report for review. Consequently, this aspect of the project was removed from consideration at this meeting.
Mr. Moran has also been active on retail issues and has previously cautioned against putting housing in locations where it would fragment, and thereby weaken, a business district (especially south El Camino), but presumably this is a position with which Ms. Diamond would agree.
