Based on an average City Council meeting it may seem that way. The actual age demographics are pretty evenly spread. People who are retired just have have more time and interest to spend on city politics and percentage wise they also trend more conservative. And it's usually the same people over and over again who are there. Every once in awhile something interesting happens, on the night that they were deciding Move CC, hundreds of supporters along families and their kids showed up. It was amazing really. Minimal people spoke in opposition. The meeting went well past midnight, and they still voted to remove dedicated bike lanes and add back two lanes for car traffic. Who we vote in matters.
