State Sen. Scott Wiener is destroying San Mateo County with its once nice cities, and the entire state. His supporters keep telling us that our R1 neighborhoods won’t change much, no one really wants to put four+ units on their property, but I have received in one week solicitations from Realtors representing investors who want to buy my home. Investors don’t care about our quality of life, or our neighborhood, they want to make as much money as they can. Hopefully this devastation will be stopped before we don’t have a state left.
Now Wiener is saying it’s racist not to have more housing. But, it’s the influx of the billionaire-owned corporations who bring in more workers that drive up housing prices. We need a moratorium on jobs. No one is talking infrastructure (you know, flushing toilets, water run-off, garbage/landfill, parking, street widenings) and now the farmers are having water rationing.
I’m glad Wiener’s pockets are being lined by his bribers, the building and real estate trades, so that they can make a bundle, and he keeps getting reelected. We’ll live one on top of each other in constant stress with traffic, gridlock, neighbor encroaching on neighbor and overflow parking in our neighborhoods.
By mislabeling it a racial issue, Wiener disregards all those who sacrificed to buy their own homes to have a quality of life. If those who want to climb the political ladder or make money off the backs of the residents, they shouldn’t play the race card.
Ms. Marcopulos – I don’t think we can blame only Wiener for this attack on single family homeowners. We can blame all the politicians who voted to pass SB9 and 10. I wonder whether there’s a correlation between “donations” from the building and real estate trades and these politicians’ votes. I’m betting there is. As for the race card, when it’s brought up, you know they’re afraid they’re on the losing end and it’s their last gasp.
The Dems passed SB 9 on a voice vote because they knew it stunk. SB 9 exempts hundreds of state environmental and safety laws and will ruin our neighborhoods in the interest of political expediency. Like the HRS it will line the pockets of Democrat for decades. Democrats should have voted instead to use HSR funds to build high speed mass transit to ares where housing prices are far lower. This would also take some of the pressure off Bay area housing prices.
