Apartment dwellers: taxed but not heard.

I received this message:

Mayor Delfino and city commissioners will be attending the Fisher Hill meeting on Thursday.  There will be a presentation by LCOR - the developers of 55 Banks Street - as well as presentation by the White Plains Hospital regarding future plans, the Salvation Army future expansion plans,  and the development of the Shultz dealership property.  All are welcome.

How many homes are in the geographic area of the Fisher Hill association?

Other than the perfunctory "all are welcome", notice that they completely ignore the 500 homes at Bank Street Commons whose residents would be the most effected.  Apartment dwellers again are not even considered when such activities are planned.  Taxed but not heard.  That's the White Plains method.  If you live in a house, you count.  If you live in an apartment, you do not count.  This is especially true if the apartment dweller rents rather than owns.
