I'm beyond upset with OPDC, they are lucky that these meetings are Zoom only or I would be showing up in person giving them a piece of my mind where they can't just mute me.

OPDC and neighborhood groups shouldn't be in the business of comprehensive planning anyway. Most planning issues are regional and trying to plan neighborhood by neighborhood is a myopic approach that empowers entrenched interest at the expense of the larger city/region. The map Pittsburgh process from 20 years ago is how we ended up with so much single-family zoning in the city, and I can guarantee that any new Oakland Plan will look to further cap densities and constrain development. You can bet a Baum-Centre update will look to do the same.
