Lance, what you said @1:46 is reasonable in every way.

But there are two definitions we seem to disagree upon.

1) "most affected" does not include people who live 300 feet or more away, a pretty significant distance when you consider the existing mix of businesses and residences in the area.

2) "working with" does not describe the approach taken by the opposition. To reiterate their position:

"The [Alcoholic Beverage Control] Board should continue to prohibit any incremental impacts generated by restaurant and bar seating.."

"Any further restaurant and bar approvals in this hyperconcentrated zone are incompatible with the central objective of the moratorium to maintain a healthy mix of non-licenses, neighborhood-serving retail business"

If the folks who you need to work with are starting from a position that nothing is acceptable, why on earth would Hank's or anyone else even try to deal with them?
