Editor,
I love Burlingame and all of the boring mid-Peninsula communities. I can appreciate their vitality as well as their charm.
I’d be very concerned about Mayor Michael Brownrigg and his vision (“Oculus moving to Burlingame” in the Aug. 17 edition of the Daily Journal). Does he want Los Angeles traffic? Or Silicon Valley congestion? Or maybe he wants masses of new residents, who often don’t support established local businesses, and instead create a bigger wealth gap?
We’re seeing San Francisco neighborhood cultures fall by the wayside, so we should certainly learn from that. Money is not culture. When we support the working man and small business, we all win, and we avoid the downfall of the next bubble.
Yes, we all agree that change is good , but let’s direct the right changes and not just go with the easiest choices. Now is a vital time to be attentive and decide who we are.
