It's all well and fine to study the risks. But there are areas where we already have known and repeated groundwater rise along the bay, and cities are ignoring the clearly demonstrated risk. In Redwood Shores the City is seriously considering a development of 3 million square feet of 8 st…

Sea Level Rise is real. See today's DJ article about King Tide flooding at local marinas: "After roughly six years of discussion, a project to stem flooding impacts by raising Oyster Point Marina dock entrances is underway in South San Francisco.

According to a staff report, the doc…

The author has hit upon the root cause for the erosion of public trust in government. It began with Citizens United ruling that money equals speech. Now PACs determine who is elected, and billionaires, corporations and PAC hold the marionette strings of those elected. I'd like to see a pu…

Adding lanes is exactly counter to state directions to lower greenhouse gasses; it encourages added vehicle miles. Instead we should be adding commuter busses, creating carpool networks, subsidizing public transit options to reduce vehicle miles.

So San Mateo cities need to cut 10% from budgets. Here's the first cut i'd make: the hundreds of thousands spent on consultants to prepare the pretty but largely ignored "plans" the state requires for housing, transit, equity, and on and on.
