NO WHERE
NO WHERE
NO WHERE does the council address the impact of blowers that create clouds of carcinogens into the air taking hours, sometimes days to drift aground. I HAVE NO CONTROL where my neighbor's particulate lands, but if the dirt on my car is any indicator, there's already a lot of that matter already in my lungs.
Two stroke blowers are gross polluters.
Four stroke blowers are polluters AND can cause loss of hearing.
No one, anywhere, needs such pristine landscaping.
I support a ban on all blowers.
I don't expect the council ever to take the lead on this issue.
And puhleeze, the cost differential does not even match the argument.

Atherton always disappoints with housing.

As Rick DeGolia has reported: "...Atherton is a small, residential community with public and private schools and aside from local school operations, the town's primary land use is residential, and does not allow commercial development. As the town does not anticipate growth, let alone job growth within the town limits, this methodology is not applicable to Atherton, he wrote.
There is no commercial activity in Atherton.
There is no more land to build on.
End of analysis and planning.
