Menlo Park: Council talks about how city can be more racially equitable

[Post removed due to trolling]

Thank you, Vice Mayor Combs. We want all local businesses to survive, not just restaurants. Blocking Santa Cruz 24/7 was a flawed plan favoring one type of business. Restaurants benefit from evening closures, whereas stores and services need street access during the day. I'm glad the City is learning and adjusting. Hopefully, it's not too late for some businesses.

Disappointed to see the downtown plan rolled back so quickly. In my humble opinion, the whole downtown should have been blocked off and then it would have been less confusing and more inviting to pedestrians. This is another example of a compromise position making the overall plan untenable. I worry that a three-week half experiment during a pandemic ruins our chances at a permanent vibrant pedestrian Downtown permanently.

Here is an example of racism and chauvinism perpetuated against Virginia Chang Kiraly and Robert Jones: -- Web Link

What a waste of time and resources.
If the City wants to clean things up start with getting competent people on City Council. I've lived here 40+ years and have never been so embarrassed about the misspending and lack of accountability.

One step that the city should take is eliminate zoning for single family dwellings to encourage more diverse neighborhoods. Until neighborhoods become more diverse white privilege will continue to benefit from decades of government sanctioned red lining, exclusionary home loan programs, and other practices that led to segregated neighborhoods. Dismantling systems of racial and economic exclusion isn't easy given the long time it's been in place.

Too little too late.

Never going to happen in any towns around here, well except for maybe Bezerkley.
In any case your asking for a SCOTUS case for something like that to happen, or a Communist takeover.
