Sparks fly over changes to condo conversions

Go figure. There were raised voices in the Land Use Committee yesterday when the subject of condo conversions hit the floor. The Examiner today has an article on the people that were yelling.

"A plan that would give extra chances to property owners who have long waited for The City's approval to convert their units to condominiums became too hot to handle Wednesday, when a debate among supervisors ended with raised voices and a one-month postponement of the item."

"Committee members agreed to revisit the issue on Nov. 2. But when a city representative on hand to answer questions about the city-run lottery process said it would be more timely if the committee acted now, Sandoval forcefully told him to stop advocating. Dufty soon raised his voice as well in defense of the staff, and it took committee Chairwoman Sophie Maxwell's repeated banging of the gavel to close the matter."

Once again they look to the king of tenants (or is he the jester?), Ted Gullicksen, for a quote but I'm not going to pass that one on. His lack of education on what it is he's fighting for (or unwillingness to truly understand it) is getting old.
