Editor,
The Sept. 10 Daily Journal article titled “Divided or united?” asks the wrong question. The question should be: “Do Millbrae citizens want the county to convert La Quinta into permanent supportive housing?” The answer is easy: No. The people have spoken.
The project is a bad fit for Millbrae, a city that helps the homeless via its LifeMoves program at BART, and a city that can’t afford to lose hotel tax revenue. A recall election in July 2024 served as a de facto vote on the La Quinta idea. By a wide margin, the two councilmembers who supported the county’s conversion idea were recalled. The results were definitive, showing a Millbrae strongly united against La Quinta.
Now, there is nothing new on the La Quinta issue until the appeal to Millbrae’s Article 34-based lawsuit is decided in 2025.
What’s important to Millbraens today is: 1). Who listened to us and stood up for our views? 2). Who can we trust to do so in the future? Our councilmembers Anders Fung, Gina Papan and Ann Schneider did a terrific job representing us. And, at the grassroots level, Stephen Rainaldi was there fighting for us every step of the way — that’s him in your story photo! Stephen’s currently running for our City Council’s District 1 seat.
When it comes to listening to Millbraens, Stephen’s got our backs. District 1 voters, please elect Stephen Rainaldi to the City Council.
