It is even somewhat irresponsible of you to highlight this for those who come to your blog for news and facts. <br /><br />The fact is that the question that was asked was one which was unanswerable; it is akin to asking why we choose to live close to a train station, or mere yards from the Gowanus Canal. Whole Foods has been diligently cleaning up their site, and this has taken much longer than they anticipated. The awkward silence that filled the room was simply bad PR on Whole Foods' part after being ambushed with a juvenile, sensationalist question. <br /><br />Their choice of siting in proximity to the canal is also 100% unrelated to the reason why they were before the Committee, and even less related to the issue of future traffic on 3rd Street. <br /><br />* It should be noted (for readers and commentators) that I serve on the Committee and voted AGAINST their variance application, but only for reasons related to the land use factors before the committee, not unrelated issues.Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996955194848882258noreply@blogger.com
