Dear Menlo Park City Council.
My name is Ned Desmond, and I live at the corner of Crane and Valparaiso. I
recently built an ADU in my small backyard, and I am happy to report I have
a tenant who is a local teacher. I am very much in favor of increased
housing of all types in Menlo.
But as I have written before, I think that the Council is really and truly
overstepping its mandate to pursue a housing in the parking lots downtown.
Nothing this radical and with far-reaching consequences should proceed
without the clear support of a majority of Menlos residents.
That’s why I support the Save Downtown Menlo ballot measure.
A decision this important — and this permanent — should be made by the
people of Menlo Park.
Thank you. - Ned Desmond
