Mr. Lease appears to be a bit loose with the facts.

1. He conveniently omits the significant staff time required for this effort - estimated at about $175,000.

2. It seems Mr. Lease didn’t bother to read through the public comment packet. I did. There were well over 100 letter…

Fun fact, Mrs. Weiss - that’s not accurate.

Below is a letter from a Glazenwood homeowner, Kevin Phillips, which was included in the public comment packet for the January 21st City Council meeting. In it, he describes the very real burdens - including added costs and significant del…

If the City never formally followed the proper procedures to designate it as such - and instead led homeowners to believe it was historic without due process - that’s not just a bureaucratic oversight, it’s deeply troubling. If I were a property owner affected by this, I’d seriously consi…

My wife told me yesterday that her husband reportedly got into a shouting match with one of our female council members at a gala event—apparently over the Baywood historic issue. If he’s willing to behave like that in public, I have to question her ability to remain impartial on anything …

Let me summarize my observations regarding the latest Letter to the Editor and community comments:

It appears there are concerning inconsistencies in the positions taken by the San Mateo Heritage Alliance regarding the historic district nomination process. While the Less Red Tape in…

Laurie, you are not the appropriate arbitrator of truth in this situation. It has come to my attention that the OHP has already approved the signature gathering process at this juncture.

Your claim regarding an incomplete application appears questionable. The fundamental facts of th…

I find your statement most concerning. While you have repeatedly accused others of impropriety, you now criticize a group for exercising their legal right to gather signatures simply because their views differ from yours. I suggest you demonstrate your own level of community support, whic…

Terence - there's no point in rehashing the Baywood application approach. At the last Council meeting, Andrew Ryan made it quite clear: Less Red Tape gathered more than 50% of homeowners' objection letters. Plain and simple.

Those continuing to advocate for Baywood's historic distri…

Although we didn’t see eye to eye on Measure T, your insights here are absolutely spot on, Terence. It’s truly indicative of the broader discussion how Mrs. Weiss and Mrs. Hietter are brushing aside the concerns about homeowner insurance. Imagine thinking they know better than a seasoned …
