Campos was granted the continuance largely because an army of protesters showed up to give public comment on the project. Most of these people were from a NIMBY activist group called the Plaza 16 Coalition that sprung up recently to oppose any major new developments in our neighborhood. Campos has been a major public supporter of the Plaza 16 Coalition, and they’ve returned the favor by appearing as a “pro-tenant, anti-gentrification” group for Campos’ Assembly campaign.
After yet another month of outreach by developers, Campos’ office AGAIN moved to delay the approval process. It was inexplicable. The developers had met with the school parents as Campos requested, but apparently he didn’t think they met with them enough? Naturally, the troops from Plaza 16 reappeared in full force to back up Campos’ demand.
