Hi there!
I do not live in Menlo Park, but I do a lot of my shopping there. I live in Skylonda at the crossroads of 35 and 84. I have lived here for 30 years.
I was really delighted to read about your plan for housing on the parking lots behind the downtown. I think it is an excellent idea and I was really proud that you were NOT trying to declare yourselves a mountain lion sanctuary or something equally silly in order to find an excuse to keep “riff-raff” out of the area.
As a 5th generation Californian, (Part of the OG riff-raff)I know that riff-raff is what makes us great!
I hope you can find the stamina and backbone to withstand this stupid NIMBY onslaught.
I think your plan is genius and generous. We need more housing, that is all there is to it!
You have my full support and if there is anything I can do to help protect your plan I hope you will let me know!
