charlie: Yes, it's hard to keep track of. The ANC was also a party to the VA, but at least from what I understand from Silverstein, the ANC was only pushing for these standard restrictions. Others, like Reiffel and Mallof, were pushing for more.

What I think happens is the people who are protesting sort of get together and negotiate together, but they might not all have the same interests. But in the end they all signed the VA. This came up when Leeds asked for the change, because the ANC and neighborhood association (also a party to the VA) were willing to grant the extra patio space while Reiffel and Mallof were not, I believe.

But basically, the ANC was not a problem in this case as far as I know.
