> NEIGHBORHOOD POLITICS--As a City Council Planning and Land Use Management Committee hearing approaches on the proposed Miracle Mile Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, tensions are still running high between neighborhood stakeholders who favor the HPOZ and those who don’t. To help combat rumors and misinformation, and to try to find some common ground among the divided neighbors, City Council Member David Ryu held a town hall meeting last night, to provide facts about HPOZs, and to give stakeholders both pro and con a forum to voice their opinions. (Photo above: Forum participants stand in line to voice their views.)

> ![](https://mail.citywatchla.com/images/stories/Feb-2017/15017z6.png)About 150 people attended the meeting, held at John Burroughs Middle School, and it was obvious from the beginning that the organizers were expecting what might politely be referred to as a “lively” discussion: the meeting opened with a welcome and coaching on rules of decorous behavior by Kiara Nagel, a consultant hired by CD4, who specializes in “services to foster collaboration, grow healthy organizations, and support equitable community development,” according to her [**website**](http://interactioninstitute.org/people/kiara-nagel/). Local LAPD Senior Lead Officers were also present, unusual for a discussion of zoning and housing issues.

> After Nagel’s introduction, Council Member Ryu expressed his desire to help “restore trust” among the divided neighbors, as well as his goal of helping them find common ground. *([Read the rest.)](https://www.larchmontbuzz.com/featured-stories-larchmont-village/council-member-david-ryu-hosts-town-hall-meeting-miracle-mile-hpoz/)*
