The Council recently considered legislation to require the installation of emergency generators in certain multi-family dwellings. While well-intentioned, the legislation has met with firm opposition from tenant leaders and housing representatives, who have raised serious concerns about its cost and practicality. I am persuaded by these arguments and consider it unlikely that the Council will pursue this proposal any further. Our experience with this issue demonstrates the great value of public input as a guide to municipal action.
