It seems like all the Woodside Town Council wants to do is regulate us. Last week they were trying to stop AirBnB, now they are trying to restrict our rights to grow the plants we want to grow in our back yards. With the cost of living going up, activities like cultivation and renting our spare rooms are things we residents can do to support ourselves. We say NO to cultivation restrictions and YES to TERM LIMITS. That way Peter Mason, Anne Kasten, and David Tanner will get the message.

Regulate plants? How about a well regulated militia?

Hilarious. Here's a list of a few things you can't do in Woodside:
* Build a large underground basement -- because you know, it's underground
* Build a home on your property to the specs that you actually want
* Cut down an Oak tree -- even a dead one -- without a permit
* Construct a new deer fence around your property -- without review
* Grow marijuana for your own use -- even though it will probably soon be legal
Of course, it's perfectly legal to own as many Roosters as you want, so if you're looking to piss off your neighbors you still have that!

Not just roosters. Woodside has multiple vineyards and of course lots of places to buy liquor. But marijuana? That's completely different....

It almost looks like Woodside simply hopes to circumvent the will of the people if a select few don't subscribe to their perspective. On this issue, I will only add that we should respect the democratic process and the will of the masses. Private/personal interests seem to dominate this conversation. This Goes well beyond "preserving options", it takes a single position and there is no "option" for residents. If this is technically legal it shouldn't be in my opinion. It also might open Woodside up to litigation and the dismissal of the majority opinion. It regulates much more than simple property rights if nothing else. What if this prohibits existing residents from small scale medication at affordable prices? You don't have to be in the same position to sympathize with the plight of others. Maybe this is a poor quote but : The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
