Yeah including whether or not something looks "west coast" enough lol. I mean some of the things they do does seem to fall outside of their scope. Like when they said the arc was too "dark", just because they didn't like the look of it. It's like they have a specific image of what a building should be and nothing can deviate from that.
I know we have discussed at length why the udp is here. Issues like energy performance, form and function, that all make sense. But when they start getting into purely subjective things, that's when it makes me scratch my head.
