The idea of sacrificing the three surface lots for 10 story low and lower income housing is something you will be remembered for. It is a fully preposterous approach to CBD housing which will quickly become a failed dark wind tunnel of crime and unhappiness. For me, a handicapped person, it simply...
Preserving the Community’s Identity and Integrity When I first arrived in this town in 2005, I fell in love with the place. It’s a vibrant community built organically by decent, hard-working citizens. Its unique charm and values make it attractive to everyone, but we must protect what makes this...

THANK YOU! . . . to each and every one of you who read all the fine print and worked doggedly to come up with a solution for the city’s housing plan that would pass the state’s new, more rigid requirements. Just reading about your work has felt exhausting. I can’t imagine how tedious and frustr...
Dear Menlo Park City Council Members, My name is David Eckert and I live at 20 Willow Road. I’ve been a homeowner here for the past 10 years. I’m writing about my concerns over the proposed construction at the former Sunset site. What I’ve read about the proposal is appalling! I am someone who is...
