District 3 council member Steve Price, beginning his second term as the Democratic representative of the most diverse district in the city, is the antithesis of "depth."
We note NA Confidential's dialogue regarding Mr. Price's comments in The Tribune, wherein he referred to the council as "they."
Our "Price-less Moment" for the January 7 meeting came when Mr. Price took the stage to declare his undying support for whatever is the opposite of progress.
He stated (and I'll paraphrase) that his default position on all zoning and planning matters destined to come before the council would be to oppose any plan that draws opposition from the closest neighbors. One assumes that includes futile stances that will subject the city to great expense when the council rebuffs strictly legal proposals.
One observer noted that Mr. Price was a bold defender of the status quo for Monday night's Sixth District NIMBYs, and wondered why he wasn't equally bold in defending his own district against decay and infestation by a slumlord/crackhouse mentality.
