Are u guys out of your mind? You’re okay with doing this to Bay rd?
Just in case you were not already aware, bay rd is due for a housing development on the site of the former Flood school, a housing development at the VA, and a huge build out of Flood Park. This is in addition to a huge development at the sunrise site, a huge development at the usgs site and a huge development on the SRI site!

I forgot to mention that Menlo Park will approve a couple of huge developments on Bohanon, because with zoning being removed, time for owners and developers to di in.
It’s so impressive to watch all of the wealthy people in Atherton and West Menlo Park run for cover as they remove zoning and allow huge developments in the middle class areas of Menlo Park and the border of Atherton. Not in their backyards strikes again- NITBY!

You are pointing out the absurdity of the entire CA State HCD process. Menlo Park is overdeveloping & the streets and infrastructure will be clogged & many apartments/homes will be empty.
It is another victory for "City Planning"

I’m pointing out that none of these huge developments are happening west of el camino, or in any central area of Atherton.

True enough @cyber voter. However, not just dumb laws, but dumb laws inequitably applied. I thought our current leaders were all about equity. none of these huge developments are happening west of el camino, or in any central area of Atherton. Our city will remain pristine west of el cam, those of us living near 101 will be unable to get in and out of our neighborhoods. Our Neiborhood streets will remain unsafe for walking or biking. There are no city shuttle services. And we are not in walking distance to any amenities. And the city refuses to do a real traffic study. Yes, in YOUR backyard (YIYBY).

The end result is economic polarization.
