GUEST OPINION
Best Reasons For “ No on Q ” Come From Q ’ s Authors
BY JOE HANAUER
( The Indy is running this 9 / 23 guest column again in its entirety , due to missing text in the previous edition ’ s jump from page 16 . Apologies to Joe Hanauer and our readers . -Ed )

Consider a Q author ’ s recent Indy column . He explains how Q actually enables new projects versus freezing change as contended by Q ’ s opponents . The author describes how
Q would permit a 70-room hotel without a vote . This would indeed be a strange hotel . For 70 rooms to be below Q ’ s size limit and therefore avoid a vote , each room would be a tiny 300 square feet . No need to worry about traffic because the hotel couldn ’ t rent any rooms . Why ? Because nobody could access the rooms since there would be no stairs , halls , and elevators to achieve 70 rooms and still be within Q ’ s limit . There would be no lobby , dining room , public restrooms , and no bar . Some hotel !
He continues by saying that Q supports St . Catherine ’ s , which the city is buying . Did he forget that under his Measure Q , because of a use change , St . Catherine ’ s would require a public vote and up to a two-year delay . Or is he suggesting the city operate St . Catherine ’ s as a church so a use change wouldn ’ t be triggered ? If these kinds of misstatements weren ’ t so serious , they ’ d be laughable .
The problem with Q ’ s public vote mandate isn ’ t just the time and cost . There ’ s no assurance a vote will succeed for even the best proposal . Why ? Some people always vote no , some
