The LPDS front

The president of the Athens-Clarke County Federation of Neighborhoods has come out in favor of turning Cedar Shoals Drive into a 'boulevard-type' district conducive to a development like La Puerta del Sol. It's the first prominent endorsement outside of the throngs of individuals who have supported LPDS, but it's also notable seeing how Herod doubles as the president of the Green Acres/Crestwood Community Association.

I still think it's hard to envision LPDS passing, primarily because of the stubbornness and irrationality of Cedar Creek residents and their unusual grip over the Athens-Clarke County Commission ... but when your justification for opposition is being shot down at every turn, then you begin to look rather petty.
