The 4-3 vote in favor of a low entry barrier shelter adjacent to a residential area despite 80-95% of the residents in opposition, and huge financial burden while in deficit, was a loss of democracy to your city residents.
The city residents continued to find ways to make things work with just one caveat - "safety first". The main demand was to ensure that background checks get done. You are now obligated to ensure that the families, especially kids, living in that shelter also remain safe.
