Has anyone been to these “Maple Leaf Neighborhood Zoning Workshops”?

Has anyone been to these "Maple Leaf Neighborhood Zoning Workshops"?

So, obvious the first two for September have passed, but also there were some in the spring. A few weeks ago, Maple Leaf Community Council posted this on Facebook:

Maple Leaf has many opportunities and challenges as the City moves closer to the One Seattle Plan. If you are interested in being part of this generative conversation, we want you! Though we began these conversations last spring, we always need and appreciate new voices. Whether you’re passionate about tree canopy, affordability, local businesses, architectural character, or another concern, you have a place at the Maple Leaf Neighborhood Zoning Workshops!

Previously it was just “Come discuss possible zoning changes with your neighbors, have your voice heard, and listen to the thoughts of others,” so given all of the mentions of things that could be used as excuses for opposing upzoning, I take it that’s the thrust of the people involved in this. Basically, people who’d be homeowners committed to keeping more renters out of the neighborhood and are really sad Cathy Moore stepped down.

But, their website has a lot of different axes for people to do stuff together, so I admit that may not be fair, and I’m wondering if anyone here is part of that to speak to what the zoning meetings’ general vibe has been.
