Editor,
1991 saw the overwhelming passage of Measure H, an initiative put forward by residents to protect our city which, at the time, was under siege by high-rise development proposals.Â

I predict the same outcome as 1991. A yes on Y and a no on R and when voters see the motivation behind our mayor and city council members, they will be losing their seats. Great letter Rick, so glad to see people in my community who get it and realize the disrespect the people of San Mateo are getting from their elected and appointed leaders on the city council. Vote for people at City Hall who actually like the people of San Mateo.
