Sounds like we're talking about two different things. I'm talking about what's best for the neighborhood, and you're talking about what's actually going to happen. I agree with you that this nonsense will happen!

I don't see how getting rid of the extra parking for the wine source would be good for the neighborhood. The spot right out in front of the wine source is already a cluster at busy times, and I cannot imagine the people that live around there being thrilled about losing more parking spots to non residents.

I don't have to imagine because I am who you're speculating about--a person who couldn't live much closer to Wine Source, telling you what doesn't in fact thrill me.

Right. You are one person. I am asking you to for one second imagine what other people might think.

That's another thing I don't have to imagine about--I know and speak to my neighbors, and have looked around this comment section. Opinions about the idea are mixed at best.

Yep. Torpedoing a viable business isn't good for the neighborhood.

Not if people show up to public meetings and zoning board hearings in numbers and oppose it.
