Or instead of abolishing community involvement you should take part instead.

there's no "involvement" when the "representatives" are unelected. CBs are an overcorrection from Robert Moses and simply exist to empower NIMBYs.

The participants at my meetings are neighbors and lifelong residents. Taking away this forum is a disservice to the community. Why fight for less means of involvement?

Make them elected then, not political appointees. It's still a bastion of NIMBY power though, and that power needs to be eroded.

That's what elections are for - we vote for people to make and enact policies, we shouldn't need to get "involved" beyond that to help counterbalance the miniscule number of people who make it onto a Community Board.
