12:35:56	 From  Lara Kritzer : [1] Which of the Zoning Redesign goals feel most important to you? And why? (Remember, we’re planning for the next 50 years and beyond!)
For context, here are the 3 goals that the Zoning & Planning Committee straw-voted in:
(a) Housing: A zoning code more responsive to a demand for housing that serves a range of incomes and promotes sustainable community development patterns
(b) Sustainability: Environmental stewardship, fiscal strength and meeting community needs
(c) Context: Preserve and protect what we like in our neighborhoods. Encourage new development to fit in the context of our neighborhoods and villages
12:42:14	 From  Lara Kritzer   to   Devra Bailin(Privately) : Do you want to jump in? feel free!
12:42:23	 From  Andrea Kelley   to   Lara Kritzer(Privately) : can you ask people to identify themselves by their full name?
12:42:44	 From  Devra Bailin   to   Lara Kritzer(Privately) : you're doing great!
12:42:51	 From  Jenna Andelman : If we want more density, we may lose the essence of our neighborhoods, depending on what each person thinks the essence of their neighborhood is defined by.
12:43:15	 From  Lara Kritzer   to   Andrea Kelley(Privately) : I will ask
