I completely agree that the way Alderman Gerwirtz handled both proposals was surprisingly dishonest.
My experience with these community meetings is that the moderators seem unable to make them very productive; they tend to get mired in minutae. One person after another will bring up issues that the folks proposing a business had already answered: "Yes, but will there be TV's showing sports?"
I feel like people who are in the business of having products delivered to their store on a daily basis probably have a pretty good handle on the feasibility of food delivery, so I hope they can simply give a decisive answer rather than issues like that taking up most of the time.
