You didn't state that strongly. CEQA REQUIRES that the project be 
analyzed as a whole.

Dreamer! The main reason to go to these is to speak to the people in
the AUDIENCE. Those up front won't be listening. This is just a formality
for them. These are NETWORKING sessions for building opposition. Also
to give yourself standing to sue (you have to complain, & at least one
person has to raise each issue that will be used in the suit).
