Anyone know much or have strong feelings about the appointee: Arthur Jemison?

Wait and see mostly with Wu's planning ideas. I think if she gets the comprehensive zoning and master planning stuff done that is huge, but if she gets rid of the BPDA before that is done or fails to accomplish it then Boston will be fucked as it will move too much control to the neighborhoods.

Her entire vision really depends on getting zoning standardized and overhauled in the city.
