I am a 28 year Menlo Park resident who moved from a 5th floor downtown Palo Alto mixed use building. I also lived in a downtown Burlingame apartment building before Palo Alto. Downtown MP remains smaller than both and it is even sleepier now with a growing number of closed / empty storefronts (by ...

4/4/2025 Hi folks: This is the same department (SJPD) that Palo Alto Police Chief Andrew Binder, who is now apparently living in Morgan Hill, 40 miles from Palo Alto, came from. How invested in Palo Alto is a chief who lives 40 miles from the town he claims to care about? Can we reasonably exp...
I am a long time Menlo Park resident who moved from a 5th floor downtown Palo Alto mixed use building. Downtown MP was much smaller then (over 700 businesses in downtown Palo Alto) and it is even sleepier now with a growing number of closed / empty storefronts. Its sad to see "for lease" signs on ...

Wed like to see a mix of housing, at market, below-market and affordable levels for prioritized MP city and school workers, seniors (too many "empty nesters" in family-sized houses in MP) an...

Ive lived in Menlo Parks low density Districts 3-4 for over 25 years. I routinely drive to downtown Redwood City or downtown Palo Alto for many more business meeting, shopping, entertainment and dining options than found in Menlo Parks relatively sparse downtown. Id much rather walk or bike to dow...
To: Members of the Menlo Park City Council I first moved into an apartment between Middlefield and El Camino Real on Oak Grove Ave near SRI in 1988. Since then I have lived in MP, Palo Alto and finally MP -- buying progressively more expensive condominiums (5th floor of 20+ unit bldg) and homes ...
