Viva La Rezo!...or You Want to Resin Chinatown?

An old classmate from Harvard sent me an email that started with:

If you have a minute, could you please sign AAFE's online petition to support an independent rezoning analysis of Chinatown?

And I was like, What the hell is ‘Rezuhning? Is that a way of applying a safer asbestos? Like a resin? It must be some labor union jargon I don't know. "Viva La Rezo!"

So I clicked on the petition and after reading the word about 10 more times finally parsed it correctly.

If anyone cares, sign the petition about the re-ZONING of Chinatown, NYC. Yes. Re-Zoning.

(I have to go alert my friend to the use of dashes now.)

Full email about the rezuhning below.

Hey All,

If you have a minute, could you please sign AAFE's online petition to support an independent rezoning analysis of Chinatown? Our position is that in order to best protect the affordable housing, economic, and historical character unique to Chinatown, it should deserve its own rezoning by the City to prevent rampant luxury development. We differ from certain fringe groups that have disrupted any public meeting exploring the rezoning, and we propose an open and safe, consensus building process rather than one that is focused on mudslinging.

The online petition is at http://www.aafe.org/pgs/aafe_position.html - please support us, thanks!
