An additional note ... If the ANCs in each neighborhood stood up to the plate and took control of the V.A. process for their neighborhoods (and sub-neighborhoods ... like 17th Street), they could be in charge of 'making the rules' for their areas. And they could do this simply by having a template (of hours, trash handling, etc.) which they'd tweak on an applicant by applicant basis ... And thereby excercise the 'local' regulatory uniformity which you brought up in your post Jasper.

And no one would have to make any regulatory changes to implement this. The ANCs by law get great weight. Any other protestants don't. The applicant (and the ANC) could essentially tell the neighbors 'this is a neighborhood issue and the V.A. will be worked out in collaboration with everyone, but the ANC will sign it, and what goes in there in the end will be what the ANC and the applicant agree to. And because the other neighbors don't have great weight before ABRA, ABRA would have to give this ANC V.A. the primacy it deserves.

All it takes is the ANC taking control control of the process ...
