They get to vote against something no one has asked to build for voter brownie points. Now if it was a vote on a zoning variance so a developer can build 500 houses on 100 acres in the rural part of the county, something that could actually happen, they could care less what the voters and the zoning board say.

Between Palafox/29 and I-110. The contaminated soil piles are long gone, and it is totally unused land that simply needs to be capped over with a massive slab and a parking lot with stormwater control.
