The Council only does nonsense like this to retain their false image of being progressive politicians. They "act" only when "action" can be nothing more than talk. When an issue comes up that would require real action by progressives (like the Pacific Ave marijuana dispenary), they're silent.

The Council should be required to focus on local issues. That way, they can't just pretend to be progressive. That way they have to walk the walk, or reveal themselves for the corrupt politicians they are with their leashes held by business and property owners.
