>As for your tight local control, fuck that. No, you shouldn't get to decide exactly what happens in your neighborhood just because you got there first.

That's right I don't get to decide because I was there first.

I get to decide because the majority elected me to the association and I carried out their will. I was a representative of the neighborhood and the neighborhood got to decide.

I say "get" but I'm not there anymore, so I don't get to anymore.
