    So prolix only an attorney could possibly understand it, this staff report and consultant HR&A's analysis need to be explained clearly to WeHo residents, over 75% of whom are renters. Implementing the worthy 1-for-1 replacement rule has devolved into a recondite exercise surely loved by developers only. Staff Report Pages 10-11 refer to "public hearings" but how did this specific item involve engagement with the actual community of renters and landlords during 2023? Something is awry here.
