Thank you Jennifer for highlighting Papan's mis-guided and unenlightened carbon platform. Sadly, Senator Padilla has likewise been endorsing similar mis-guided forest management policies such as the illogically named "Save our Forests" and now a similar plan with Sequoias. We now know tha…

Terence Y still fails to understand that the SO Cal fires were not "Forest" burning; they were chaparral and homes. In fact the greatest firestorm pockets were fueled by the houses themselves, which offer a far denser combustion source than any forest anywhere. All current studies confirm…

So long as cities continue to pursue commercial revenue instead of housing, the jobs;housing imbalance will grow. "This could equate to 9,794 new jobs and 3,611 residents within the northeast area, assuming a certain amount of individuals per square footage.

The proposed development…

Too bad San Carlos just rezoned nearly their entire east side for commercial. City officials give lip service to housing but their quest for commercial tax revenue always prevails. Until City revenue structures are changed statewide - by statewide tax and revenue allocation policies - cit…

No, Trump is not to blame for high-density development, nor is San Mateo's Council entirely to blame. It is the California legislature that imposed housing quotas on every city, large and small, and that has banned cities from regulating density as a means of skirting those quotas. The re…

Thank you Rev. Nixon for eloquently calling out the hypocrisy of the "Christians" cynically claiming scripture justifies their greed, corruption and self aggrandizement.

12,000 square feet and 9 added classrooms for 30 students? It's not the added 30 pupils at issue, it's the huge buildout. Nobody believes it's just for 30 students; will the school then want enrollment of another 200 to fill their new space?

The added costs you cite are red herrings. For new buildings, low-flow toilets, electric ranges and high-capacity wiring do not add significantly to costs. It is true that impact fees are onerous, and this is because cities don't receive adequate tax revenue from housing to build and main…

It's worth restating David's key point:

"Approving more high-tech, biotech, AI industries in a city may increase revenue to the city from commercial property taxes and businesses taxes, but it drives up housing cost and worsens a city’s ability to provide a balance of housing choice…

The issue of concern here is not the 30 added students. It's the 23,000 added square feet of building, impinging on public access to a park. Residents justifiably suspect that the true ultimate enrollment capacity would nearly double. Keep in mind that the ONLY access to this site it via …
