Sunday, July 7, 2019
To all‐ In this report from CBS Evening News on Saturday, July 6, 2019, they leave the impression that the 7.1
magnitude quake near Ridgecrest, Calif, at 8:19 PM on Friday evening, July 5, 2019 in the far northern Mojave Desert,
and 150 miles north of Los Angeles, caused massive damage in Los Angeles. If it had done, that would be big news. They
show a man speaking, telling how scared he was during the quake. BUT he was in Ridgecrest, not Los Angeles. But
somehow CBS News neglected to make that clear. Thousands of homes and businesses flattened from Malibu to San
Diego, right? No, not right CBS News.
https://www.cbs.com/shows/cbs_evening_news/video/
And here, at about 2:30, i.e., at two minutes, 30 seconds, you hear a USGS scientist, in a news conference at Cal
Tech, say "there is very little damage in the Los Angeles area", 150 miles south of the 7.1 earthquake near the town of
Ridgecrest which occurred on Friday evening around 8:19 PM on July 5, 2019. So who is lying? CBS News or the expert
from the USGS, and the lady seismologist from Cal Tech, both speaking at Cal Tech?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF1e5oKZSMM
Trump complains about fake news. Here you see a good example of it.

CBS News says what they think their viewers want to hear, and most viewers in the United States are envious of
rich, beautiful, better educated California. So let's play this story as a real disaster for all of California. Yes, say it
happened in Southern California, but people can fantasize that the quake destroyed countless thousands of homes all
over Southern California, and even in the Bay Area, 200 miles to the north. Yes sir, those fornicators who own multi‐
million homes in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mt. View, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, Atherton, on up to
San Mateo, and even in San Francisco, have finally felt God's wrath. Hopefully, the upstart Stanford University, which
spawned Silicon Valley, has been shaken to the ground as well with hundreds killed there. What a load of bull.
Today, Sunday, July 7, 2019, KCBS, 740 AM in San Francisco, is saying that Gov. Newsom toured Ridgecrest, Calif. on
Saturday, July 6, 2019, and that he was surprised at how little damage there was there. 85% of it is fine. BTW, there have
been no fatalities and few serious injuries due to the 7.1 mag. quake on July 5, or the 6.4 mag. one on July 4, 2019. I
wonder if the network CBS News will now show Newsom touring the town and saying that. Apparently a lot of
Californians have complained about the CBS News' lying coverage of this event.
Most viewers of the CBS network news don't have a clear understanding of the layout of California. When one
leaves Los Angeles heading north, you cross the Tehachapi Mountains on I‐5, going over "the grapevine", elev. ~2400
feet. On the north side of that, is farm land. One is then in the heavily agricultural San Joaquin Valley. Go far enough
north and you reach Bakersfield. The Friday, July 5, 2019 7.1 mag. quake happened north‐east of Bakersfield, north‐east
over the very southern‐most reaches of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the northern Mojave Desert.
There is NOT solid development from Los Angeles north to Bakersfield, with hundreds of hi‐tech companies and
thousands of high tech workers. It is mountains and farm land. The quake occurred in the desert town of Ridgecrest,
Ca. SO, we, on Manhattan Island, who have never even been to California, and who certainly have never taken a stiff
course in Geology, as have I, and who don't know what "USGS" stands for, and have never even heard of Cal Tech, put
together a BS story so viewers on the east coast can rejoice that California has FINALLY gotten what it had coming. Just
lie to make money. Trump is right about fake news. Maybe he should start talking about the FCC revoking broadcast
licenses for that.
Another good response, if CBS won't stop lying about this and other events in California, would be for the Governor
of California to urge the tech companies here to not locate facilities in New Hampshire, Mass., Conn., New York or New
Jersey. Californians could stop spending their tourist dollars in those states too. CBS might dig a little harder for the truth
if all of that happened and quit employing so many dedicated liars who appeal to the Ivy league in their stories.
This BS story run on the CBS Evening News on Saturday, July 6, 2019 will impact the stock of SV companies when the
market opens on Monday, July 8. If the headquarters of Intel, HP, Nvidia, Applied Materials, Apple, Facebook, Micron
Tech, Google, Square, YouTube, Twitter, were all destroyed in the July 5 quake, and all of their top people and
production people were killed, that will impact their stock price. Too bad that such a scenario is just pure BS put out by
the liars at Blackrock. They ought to feel the heat for this BS. Let's have California's congressional delegation start an
investigation of the CBS fake news machine and focus on their lying coverage of this quake.
Here is the press conference held in Ridgecrest on Saturday, July 6, 2019 after Gov. Newsom toured the area. Well
worth watching. See if you get the impression from this press conference that wide‐spread damage occurred throughout
California after the Friday, July 5 7.1 mag. quake near Ridgecrest:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9WAJZ_ALrg
I watched the CBS Evening News today, Sunday, July 7, 2019. They still give the false impression of widespread
damage throughout at least southern California, in keeping with their policy of dishonest and sensationalist reporting.
They showed no part of Gov. Newsom's press conference.

Now, if we are actually sparred a Holocaust this time round, in the Fourth Generation beginning in AD 2026, we shall still
see the loss of Six Cities in the United States ((San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Washington DC)) and
likely the End of the United States, as a Result of the Consequences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Germany will see

see a Vast Influx from an Arab Nation and Germans could become Minorities in their own Homeland, which in turn could

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE OFFICIAL NOTICE
FOR THE CITY OF PALO ALTO PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY
NOTICE OF TREATMENT FOR THE PEACH FRUIT FLY
Collected between June 28, 2019 and July 2, 2019, two peach fruit flies (PFFs), Bactrocera
zonata (Saunders), were trapped in the city of Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. Based on the survey data, pest biology, information from the California Department of Food and Agriculture
(CDFA) Bactrocera Science Advisory Panel (BacSAP), recommendations provided by the CDFA
Primary State Entomologist, and the CDFA “Action Plan for Methyl Eugenol Attracted Fruit Flies including Oriental Fruit Fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel),” an infestation of PFF exists in the area.
A Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) has been certified which analyzes the PFF
treatment program in accordance with Public Resources Code, Sections 21000 et seq. The
PEIR is available at http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/peir/. The treatment activities described below are consistent with the PEIR.
In accordance with integrated pest management principles, the CDFA has evaluated possible eradication methods and determined that there are no cultural or biological methods available
to eliminate PFF from this area. Notice of Treatment is valid until July 2, 2020, which is the
amount of time necessary to carry out the treatment plan across three life cycles of PFF as required by the treatment protocol for PFF. The CDFA will employ chemical control as the
primary tool, and will additionally use physical control via host fruit removal when there is evidence that a breeding population exists on a property.
The treatment plan for the PFF infestation will be implemented as follows:
• Chemical Control: The male attractant technique (MAT) will be used to eliminate all sexually-mature male PFFs. MAT applies small bait stations using STATIC™ Spinosad ME, which is a pre-mixed solution containing the attractant methyl eugenol and an
organically registered pesticide spinosad, mixed into a waxy time-release matrix (SPLAT®). The methyl eugenol lures male flies to the bait stations, where the flies
ingest the insecticide as they feed. The flies are killed when they feed at the stations.
In each square mile within the eradication boundary, a targeted density of 600 evenly spaced five- to ten-milliliter bait stations are applied to utility poles, street trees, and
other unpainted surfaces using pressurized tree marking guns mounted on specially
modified trucks. The bait stations are placed six to eight feet above the ground. The size of the eradication area is defined as that area within 1.5 miles of each detection
site, squared off to create a nine-square mile block, and adjusted to use existing features
as boundaries, such as roads. Applications are repeated every two weeks for one life cycle if no quarantine is triggered (typically two to three months), and for two life cycles
if a quarantine is triggered (typically four to six months). Life cycle durations are dependent on temperature.
• Chemical Control: If evidence that a breeding population exists on a property (i.e., immature stages, mated female, or multiple adults are detected), foliar bait treatments
may be used within 200 meters of each detection site in order to mitigate the spread of
PFF by eliminating those adult life stages not directly affected by MAT (i.e., females and sexually immature males). Foliar bait ground treatments are a protein bait spray that
contains an organic formulation of the pesticide spinosad (GF-120 NF Naturalyte® Fruit Fly Bait), and are repeated every seven to 14 days for one life cycle of the fly (typically
Peach Fruit Fly Official Notice
Project SJ-9818
Page 2
two to three months, dependent on temperature). Please visit the CDFA website to learn more about the treatment process at http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/videos/spinosad/.
• Physical Control: If evidence that a breeding population exists on a property (i.e.,
immature stages, mated female, or multiple adults), all host fruit from each detection site and all properties within a minimum of 100 meters of each detection site may be removed and disposed of in a landfill in accordance with regulatory protocols. Fruit
removal will occur once at the beginning of the project, but may be repeated if additional flies are detected.
Public Information:
For MAT applications in public areas, notification is given to the general public via mass media
outlets such as newspapers or press releases.
Residents whose property will be treated via foliar bait sprays or host fruit removal will be notified
in writing at least 48 hours in advance of any treatment, in accordance with the Food and Agricultural Code sections 5771-5779 and 5421-5436. Following the treatment, completion
notices are left with the residents detailing precautions to take and post-harvest intervals
applicable to any fruit on the property.
Treatment information is posted at http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/pdep/treatment/peach_ff.html. Press releases, if issued, are prepared by the CDFA information officer and the county agricultural commissioner, in close coordination with the project leader responsible for
treatment. Either the county agricultural commissioner or the public information officer serves as the primary contact to the media.
Information concerning the PFF project shall be conveyed directly to local and State political representatives and authorities via letters, emails, and/or faxes.
For any questions related to this program, please contact the CDFA toll-free telephone number at 800-491-1899 for assistance. This telephone number is also listed on all treatment notices.
Enclosed are the findings regarding the treatment plan, work plan, map of the treatment area, integrated pest management analysis of alternative treatment methods, and a pest profile.

FINDINGS REGARDING A TREATMENT PLAN FOR
THE PEACH FRUIT FLY
Collected between June 28, 2019 and July 2, 2019, the California Department of Food and
Agriculture (CDFA) confirmed that two peach fruit flies (PFFs), Bactrocera zonata (Saunders),
were trapped in city of Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. These detections indicate that a breeding
population exists in the area. The PFF is a devastating pest of a wide variety of important fruit
and vegetables. ·
In order to determine the extent of the infestation, and to define an appropriate response area,
additional survey took place, centered on the detection site. Based on the survey data, and
findings and recommendations from the CDFA Bactrocera Science Advisory Panel (BacSAP),
the Primary State Entomologist, the CDFA's "Action Plan for Methyl Eugenol Attracted Fruit
Flies including Oriental Fruit Fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)," and County Agricultural
Commissioner representatives who are knowledgeable on PFF, I have determined that PFF
poses a statewide imminent danger to the environment and economy.
The results of the additional survey also indicated that the local infestation is amenable to
CDFA's PFF response strategies, which include chemical treatments and removal of host fruit.
These options were selected based upon minimal impacts to the natural environment,
biological effectiveness, minimal public intrusiveness, and cost.
The PFF is an exotic insect which occurs on the mainland of southern Asia from Iran eastward,
neighboring islands including Sri Lanka, Philippines, and Taiwan, and the Arabian Peninsula;
and in recent years it has invaded North Africa. PFF is known to attack numerous types of
fruits and vegetables. Important California crops at risk include apple, avocado, citrus,
cucumber, dates, fig, guava, peach, pear, and tomato. Damage occurs when the female lays
eggs in the fruit. These eggs hatch into larvae, which tunnel through the flesh of the fruit,
making it unfit for consumption.
This pest presents a significant and imminent threat to the natural environment, agriculture and
economy of California. The combined 2015 gross value of the host commodities is of over $7.5
billion. The permanent establishment and spread of this pest would result in increased
production and postharvest costs to safeguard commercial fruit from infestation, increased
pesticide applications on both production agriculture and residential properties to mitigate
damage, and lost economic activity and jobs from trade restrictions imposed by the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and foreign trade partners.
This decision to proceed with treatment is based upon a realistic evaluation that it will be
possible to eliminate PFF from this area and preven~ its spread using currently available
technology in a manner that is based on an action plan develop_ed in consultation with the Pest
Prevention Committee of the California Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association,
the USDA, and scientists on the BacSAP. Due to the size of the infested area and the number
of flies detected, historical data indicates that eradication is possible. The first California PFF
detections occurred in Los Angeles County in 1984, and since that time, multiple re-
introductions have been delimited and successfully eradicated.
The CDFA has evaluated possible treatment methods in accordance with integrated pest
management (IPM) principles. As part of these principles, I have considered the following
'treatments for control of PFF: 1) physical controls; 2) cultural controls; 3) biological controls;
Peach Fruit Fly
Notice of Treatment Findings
Project SJ-9818

. .
and 4) chemical controls. Upon careful evaluation of each these options, I have determined
that it will be possible to address the imminent threat posed by PFF using currently available
technology in a manner that is recommended by the BacSAP.
Based upon input from the BacSAP, the Primary State Entomologist, USDA experts on PFF,
and County Agricultural Commissioner representatives who are knowledgeable on PFF,· I find
there are no cultural or biological control methods that are both effective against PFF and allow
CDFA to meet its statutory obligations and therefore it is necessary to conduct physical and
chemical control methods to abate this threat. As a result, I am ordering that male attractant
treatments, consisting of methyl eugenol, a pesticide (spinosad), and a time-release matrix be
applied to utility poles and street trees to eliminate this infestation. Additionally, in the event of
evidence of a breeding population on a property, foliar bait spray treatments will be applied to
host trees using ground-based equipment and host fruit removal will occur.
A Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) has been prepared which analyzes the PFF
treatment program in accordance with Public Resources Code (PRC), Sections 21000 et seq.
The PEIR was certified in December 2014, and is available at
http://www.cdfa.ca .gov/plant/peir/. The PEIR addresses the treatment of the PFF at the
program level and provides guidance on future actions against the PFF. It identifies feasible
alternatives and possible mitigation measures to be implemented for individual PFF treatment
activities. The PFF program has incorporated the mitigation measures and integrated pest
management techniques as described in the PEIR. In accordance with PRC Section 21105,
this PEIR has been filed with the appropriate local planning agency of all affected cities and
counties. No local conditions have been detected which would justify or necessitate
preparation of a site-specific plan.
Sensitive Areas
CDFA has consulted with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's California Natural
Diversity Database for threatened or endangered species, the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the California Department of Fish and
Wildlife when rare and endangered species are located within the treatment area. Mitigation
measures for rare and endangered species will be implemented as needed. The CDFA shall
not apply pesticides to bodies of water or undeveloped areas of native vegetation. All treatment
shall be applied to residential properties, common areas within residential development, non-
agricultural commercial properties, and rights-of-way.
Work Plan
The proposed treatment area encompasses those portions of Santa Clara and San Mateo
Counties which fall within a 1.5-mile radius around each property on which an PFF has been
detected and any subsequent detection sites within the program boundaries. Notice of
Treatment is valid until July 2, 2020, which is the amount of time necessary to carry out the
treatment plan across three life cycles of PFF as required by the treatment protocol for PFF. A
map of the project boundaries is attached. The work plan consists of the following elements:
1. Delimitation. Traps will be placed in a 4.5-mile radius from each detection site to delimit
the infestation and to monitor post-treatment PFF populations. The cardboard Jackson

traps and McPhail traps will each be placed at a density of 25 per square mile within a
0.5-mile radius of each detection site, and Jackson traps will be placed at a density of
five per square mile in the remaining delimitation area going out to 4.5 miles from each
detection site. Additional traps may be added to further delimit the infestation and to
monitor the efficacy of treatments. These traps will be serviced on a regular schedule
for a period equal to three PFF generations beyond the date of the last PFF detected.
In addition, host fruit may be sampled for the presence of eggs and larvae in a 200-
meter radius around each detection property.
2. Treatment. Any PFF detections within the original and/or expanded eradication area(s)
will be treated according to the following protocol.
• The male attractant technique (MAT) will be used to eliminate all sexually-mature
male PFFs. MAT applies small bait stations using STATIC™ Spinosad ME, which
is a pre-mixed solution containing the attractant methyl eugenol and an organically
registered pesticide spinosad, mixed into a waxy time-release matrix (SPLAT®).
The methyl eugenol lures male flies to the bait stations, where the flies ingest the
insecticide as they feed. The flies are killed when they feed at the stations. In each
square mile within the eradication boundary, a targeted density of 600 evenly
spaced five-to ten-milliliter bait stations are applied to utility poles, street trees, and
other unpainted surfaces using pressurized tree marking guns mounted on specially
modified trucks. The bait stations are placed six to eight feet above the ground.
The size of the eradication area is defined as that area within 1.5 miles of each
detection site, squared off to create a nine-square mile block, and adjusted to use
existing features as boundaries, such as roads. Applications are repeated every
two weeks for one life cycle if no quarantine is triggered (typically two to three
months), and for two life cycles if a quarantine is triggered (typically four to six
months). Life cycle durations are dependent on temperature.
• If evidence that a breeding population exists on a property (i.e., immature stages,
mated female, or multiple adults are detected), foliar bait treatments will be used
within 200 meters of each detection site in order to mitigate the spread of PFF by
eliminating those adult life stages not directly affected by MAT (i.e., females and
sexually-immature males). The foliage of host trees and shrubs within 200 meters
of each detection site will be treated with an organic formulation of spinosad bait
spray (GF-120 NF Naturalyte® Fruit Fly Bait) using hand spray or hydraulic spray
equipment. Treatments are repeated every seven to 14 days for one life cycle of
the fly (typically two to three months, dependent on temperature).
• If evidence that a breeding population exists on a property (i.e., immature stages,
mated female, or multiple adults are detected), all host fruit from each detection site
and all properties within a minimum of 100 meters of each detection site will be
removed and disposed of in a landfill in accordance with regulatory protocols. Fruit
removal will occur once at the beginning of the project, but may be repeated if

ERADICATION PROJECT WORK PLAN FOR METHYL EUGENOL RESPONDING EXOTIC FRUIT FLIES
(Includes Bactrocera correcta, Bactrocera dorsalis group, and Bactrocera zonata)
DETECTION
1. Detection Trapping
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) maintains a cooperative State/County trapping program for the various fruit flies to provide early detection of any
infestation in the State. Traps are serviced by either County or State personnel and funded by the Department. The program uses two types of traps: the cardboard Jackson sticky trap baited with the attractant methyl eugenol mixed with the pesticide
naled (Dibrom® 8 Emulsive), and the McPhail trap, an invaginated glass flask baited with Torula yeast and borax in water. The Jackson trap is strongly attractive to sexually
maturing males, while the McPhail trap is attractive to both sexes of the fly. Traps are
hung from branches of host trees at specified densities in susceptible areas of California. County or State employees inspect these traps weekly or bi-weekly throughout the year
in southern California and from April or May through October or November in northern
California.
2. Intensive Trapping
Intensive trapping is triggered after a single fly is caught. Following confirmation of the
specimen, trap densities will be increased over an 81-square mile area centered on the
detection. Within the next 24 hours, 25 Jackson and McPhail traps are placed in the square mile core around each find. Five Jackson traps are placed in each mile of the
remaining delimitation area. Traps in the core will be checked daily during the first week. Traps in the first buffer zone will be serviced every two days; those in the remainder of the delimitation area are checked at least once during the first week. All traps in the
delimitation zone will be checked weekly following a week of negative trap catches. Intensive trapping ends after the third complete life cycle following the last fly find. This
time period is determined by a temperature-dependent developmental model run by the
Pest Detection/Emergency Projects Branch in Sacramento.
3. Post-Treatment Monitoring
The success of the eradication program is monitored by intensive trapping levels for
three life cycles of the fly after the last fly has been detected. If no flies are caught
during that time, trap densities return to detection levels.
4. Larval Survey
Fruit on a property where a fly has been trapped may be inspected for possible larval
infestation. Small circular oviposition scars are occasionally visible indicating an infested fruit. Fruit on properties adjacent to a trap catch may also be inspected. If two or more flies are trapped close to each other, fruit cutting may be extended to all properties within
a 200-meter radius of the finds, concentrating on preferred hosts.

I oppose SB592, the new camouflaged version of SB50, by Scott Wiener, and SB330 by
Nancy Skinner.
I oppose taking local control away from residents and local authorities and giving it to
for-profit developers. Because, worldwide experience has shown, that local control is
best for the local population, see more details below.
I have lived in Palo Alto since 1978. Starting maybe 1995 developers have for
basically bribed City Council members to approve unlimited construction commercial
office space, by donating tens of thousands of $ for election campaigns. Those City
Councilors were not embarrassed to call buildings in prime locations with 20,000 sqft of
office space, and only two luxury condominiums, “mixed use”.
It has taken 50 years to create this problem, it will take another 50 to remedy it. The
fight against too many jobs in Palo Alto, and not enough housing, has only begun with
elections about 5 years ago, and is now well under way with commercial building caps
finally introduced.
Friends in San Francisco (Faculty members at UCSF) showed me likewise (follow the
money they said) that building interests have been buying off Assembly members like
Scott Wiener, who seem to be mostly interested in personal power.
I do not want for-profit developers to be empowered by SB592 and SB330, or any other
crooked law, to reshape our town, to negate the process Palo Alto has made for a better
building process.
Lack of affordable housing has become an international problem. Some of it in the US
comes from increased demand in space: the average house size in 1945 in the US was
1000 sqft; now it is 2,700 sqft. The average household size went down from 3.6 to 2.5
people.
The worldwide experience is that efforts to force affordable housing construction (BMR
= Below Market Rate) centrally from above, without the cooperation and the knowledge
of local experts, including the leadership of non-profit mutual building associations,
leads to the abominable results we see in US Projects, British Community Estates,
French HLM, etc. That does not even mention the catastrophe of Soviet style central
decisions in housing, which even in countries with traditional high standards (East
Germany), have led to dismal results.
And then there is Japan to consider: intensification of housing (higher density) follows
rules which are negotiated often block-wise by neighbors). This decentralized concept
would not have been alien to New England settlers 250 years ago.
In Europe, building mass housing around Rail Road Stations (and other traffic hubs) is
seen as a one-way ticket to insanity, because (a) it crams construction onto the most
expensive real estate in town (Wide sidewalks? Forget it!), and (b) where is the
commuter going to go after arriving at another train station with BMR housing: another
apartment? It will lead neither to Jane Jacobs’ beautiful cities, nor to Le Corbusier’s
walkable cities of New Urbanism. However, it will lead to maximizing profits, and so the
building industry is all for it.
The most successful BMR efforts in OECD countries seem to be the German, Dutch,
and Scandinavian (the Nordic Block) approach; where within the framework of their
social market economy (Friedrich Hayek’s Ordo Liberalism) Mutual Non-profit Building
Associations are the developers. It cuts out the for-profit developers, who naturally
cannot compete on price; their profit prevents it. Non-profit here just means that the
30% profit, which flows into the pockets of private developers, is used as starting capital
to build more BMR housing, and not take it out circulationn for private enrichment.
In the next step of progress local utilities and building associations join forces. In
Germany (which I know best) a well-known example is the Hessian City of Darmstadt,
the town of the Architect Peter Behrens (the teacher of Le Corbusier, Mies van der
Rohe, and Walter Gropius). Here the former Arbeiter Bauverein (Workers Building
Association of 1864, now Bauverein AG) and the local Hessian Electricity AG (HEAG)
have joined to create the starting capital.
The CEO of the combined enterprise is a “Dr. Ing.”, who as a Diplom Wirtschafts
Engineer (literally a graduate industrial engineer) has a hybrid degree of an Economist
and an Engineer.
Since Darmstadt has built up its BMR apartment stock since 1864, they now own
16,000 Apartments in a city of 150,000 people. And this despite Darmstadt being
destroyed by Anglo-American Terror bombing to 80% in WW2. But Darmstadt,
governed by Social Democrats being not in the pocket of local builders, has never
allowed the run-away office construction by for-profit companies we see in California.
As always in BMR projects rehabilitation and preservation of existing affordable housing
is a continuous hand-to-hand combat, as is the adjusting of rent depending on changing
income of renters, creating and maintaining vibrant mixed income neighborhoods. This
only can be done locally.
We all know the terrible consequences the Thatcherism inspired ‘right to buy’ ideology
had in Britain. By nationally forbidding that the profit made, from the sale of the estate
housing in the 1980’s, was used to build more houses, and by even confiscating the
profits by the treasury, of BMR housing stock all but disappeared and new stock was
not created. The profits from the “right-to-buy” sales were used by Thatcher for trickle
down tax cuts. Sounds familiar?
A final remark: the “Nordic” system for below market rate housing is a take-off of the
Nordic Block’s health insurance system. The insurance entities were original thousands
of local (now often regional, but never national) non-profit guild based mutual sickness
funds, which like any mutual association are run by the members, thus off-the-bat
lowering the cost by the 30% of profits which US Health Insurances take out. And
operating for the interests of the members and not the profit of the companies keeps
premiums low.
Regarding the economic Cooperation between Building Associations and Utilities, Palo
Alto with a local Housing Authority and a local Community Utility Company (which
produces a return-on-investment – Dividends) could easily do that. As an example,
Palo Alto in 1987 already introduced a Utility Users Tax to support in a clever maneuver
the Palo Alto School District.

Dear City Council and City Manager
I emailed the City Manager about 2 weeks ago about the dire state of the downtown Post Office on Hamilton. If you
have not walked past it lately, please do so.
It is in a very poor state. The building itself is looking very run down and neglected. The landscaping is also in an
appalling state, lots of dead debris, dead grass. It looks like a derelict building right in the heart of downtown.
As you all know, this is a historic Birge Clark building and it has a prominent position in our downtown.
It seems that the inside corridors are not being swept either, they are full of old leaves. The window boxes need urgent
cleaning out or the volunteer yucca in there will damage the building.
Thank you
Sally‐Ann Rudd

potholes all over the place. Big chucks of asphalt missing here and there.
I know that Cal Trans is in charge of El Camino but at least repair the major ones since the rainy season is now over.
I don't even travel at night anymore since I am afraid of hitting one.
Not exactly what I would expect for one of the most affluent areas in CA.

Hello everyone,
This week I filed to run for re‐election to Raleigh City Council, District B.
Four years ago I ran for Council as part of a grassroots campaign to bring better representation to District B to balance
the interests of developers with the interests and concerns of residents. Today I look back on the past few years and
hope you will agree about the progress that has been made.
Over the past four years I have attended about 200 Citizens Advisory Council meetings, innumerable community
meetings, and meetings with individual constituents about a myriad of concerns. I have pioneered the use of social
media both for community discussions about issues and as a way to stay in contact with elected leaders and government
officials. I have not missed a single City Council or Committee meeting.
I hear your voices and share your concerns about growth and development, the environment, our roads and
infrastructure, our fire and police, and the impacts to our neighborhoods and quality of life. I have worked hard not only
to be your voice on Council but to get the votes needed to address your concerns.
And we are having an impact. Council changed dramatically in the last election. There is now a majority on Council
working in the interests of people and neighborhoods. Because of this impact, we expect well organized, well funded
challenges in this upcoming election.
With your continued support through volunteerism and contributions, we can get out the vote this October!
For the past four years and for your help in this campaign, I thank you! Only together can we continue what we started
in 2015.
