Still, this is the pattern for these guys.
They did the same at the charrette "public consultation".
They got everyone "involved" by making them feel like they were listening to the discussion, then they wheeled out a plan which had an obvious over-development on top of an archeological site.
So everyone focusses on this, and then they look like the good guys doing a compromise when they remove it, settling the plan to what they had intended in the first place.
Now they are once again presenting an over-development, so when they pare it back to what they had intended, the opposition will be neutralised.
The mayor has fallen for it already:

You gotta take your hat off to Mike Day, he's good at this stuff!
