Open letter to Menlo Park City Council
A recent comic strip showing a mouse-trap salesman dumping mice into the window of a house, then going to the door to sell mouse
traps. That's what Menlo Park City Council is doing. They approved high-rise residence building along El Camino, and business
development at Bohannon park and Facebook that are guaranteed to cause gridlock, and now under guidance of Kirstin Keith are
suggesting the City spend taxpayer's dollars with a right-wing lobbyist with contacts to Trump to get federal money to fix these
self-created problems.
By promoting overbuilding and now more construction which we can't afford the Council is maintaining the endless construction
cycle that is a joy to the developers and degrades our city.
The Council's job is to maintain a balanced community that is a pleasure to live and drive in, not to spread taxpayers' dollars
around to curry political favor with Developers and Washington.
