Santos and Duncan voted it down so then Wyatt and Schreyer voted down the original motion and it died.
It was crazy because the head of the board guy came up first and said, we don't care about parking anymore, we want the land so we can develop it ourselves...then 30 people came up including other board members and yelled that they might as well close the club if the parking was lost.

So in laymans terms, what happens next? Is the project dead?
The gall of these people. Holding up a housing project (with a Federal Government grant) for people in need, since they will have to walk an extra 20 metres. They should all hold their heads in shame. Bunch of friggin NIMBYS.
