Agree a little bit. But also, it seems like there are many powerful people in San Francisco, people like Nancy Palosi, and they don’t want, the city from becoming Mumbai or Hong Kong or whatever it is you think it should be. You seem to want to limit wealthy people like her from participating in the political in a way that protects their interests. Even if you can somehow prevent individuals from impacting politics, groups like the California Coastal Commission will still pop up to represent nearly identical interests to those of individual landowners. The environment matters to poor folks too.

Yeah, we really need to go out of our way to make sure Nancy Pelosi has a say in our political process.

What if one of the most powerful politicians alive doesn't get to make this particular decision? She'll be so disenfranchised!
