To paraphrase Winston Churchill "Community Boards are the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried."
Now I'll not defend their individual actions, but we do need responsible and responsive local governance. There are at least two places one might go to promote for an improved local governance system: The Campaign for Community-Based Planning at http://communitybasedplanning.wordpress.com and the BeyondVoting Wiki at http://beyondvoting.wikia.com/wiki/Beyond_Voting.
Both focus on city governance and provide an opportunity for positive griping. (Disclosure: member of former, founded the later.)
