I agree that this is a HORRIBLE idea and will do nothing but ensure that nothing gets built or changed in the city. The community boards are filled with NIMBY-sayers who want no new development and nothing to change in their neighborhoods. The CB's are full of non-expert, small-minded people who have no vision and no responsibility for the city as a whole.

I foresee mass confusion in Bloomberg'splan to give residential permit parking (RPP) authority to the community boards. This is such a change to street-use that the city should have mandated it across the entire city.

Let's wait and guage the mess the CB's make of RPP before we give them anymore authority.
