Critics of VAs or at least the way VAs work now argue that it's not right to have a liquor license decision be an agreement between certain residents and the establishment.

Individuals are parties to VAs? That's ridiculous. Individual citizens (acting as individuals, not in some official capacity) should not have that degree of involvement in or influence over municipal policy.

This makes me particularly cranky because, as a fan of the now-defunct Commonwealth in Columbia Heights, I can only fondly remember the days when I had a Jamie Leeds establishment in walking distance. She apparently closed it (in part) because of the Hank's expansion - now the ingrates near Hank's are tryign to make it so we've been subjected to the mediocre Acre 121 for no reason at all. To paraphrase immortal Ferris Bueller, people with such screwed up priorities don't deserve sugh a fine restaurant in their neoghborhood. (I know it's just a few bad apples, but still . . . )

Is it true that the instigators behind this don't even live near Hank's?
