Does anyone else wonder why the folks we elected to the Redwood City Council feel it is their job to “fix” the RV-squatter “issue?” “Officials for months have been brainstorming and researching ideas.” What a distraction and waste of “official” time (“Redwood City to address RVs” in the Dec. 4 edition of the Daily Journal).
My take is that the first job of these Redwood City officials is to protect the folks who elected them from the issues and impacts that these non-resident RV-squatters are causing. Fixing the problem of RV-squatters is quite beyond the pay grade of these Redwood City officials. Protect the citizens and homeowners. Otherwise we will have parts of Redwood City that look like the El Camino Real along Stanford in Palo Alto. Or, there will be more of Redwood City like Walnut Street east of Veterans Boulevard with lines of RV-squatters. Why spend Redwood City money on dumpsters or portable toilets?

Because they are fellow human beings, many of whom lost their homes in Redwood City yet still work here.
