Rafael Espinoza--Denver, CO former councilman--discusses the shortfalls of his council, including the resistance to televised public comment and less-than-ideal meeting attendance. Then, he discusses how his thinking rapidly evolved on a large, divisive housing development that came before him for a vote.
