I think both have their good sides and their bad sides. VHA is too pro-developer. POA does use a sledge hammer when a little rap will do the trick. Not everything the devleoper does is a bad thing and it is necessary to have someone vote for things (although I'd be a lot more comfortable if I felt the votes were more democratic than just approving what is wanted). I think both are necessary but I won't accept what either says without doing my own research by talking to others, looking at whatever documents available to the public, trying to get my own perspective. Both organizations bring their own prejudices into their reporting, which is fine so long as it is understood by others that their agenda isn't necessarily the best agenda for the majority of TVers.
