Giving them what they wanted in the first place (removal of all the trees from the site), and giving the residents the feeling of being listened to. It's definitely a win-win for them, lose-lose for the trees and residents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-84642198939452970702012-10-24T04:50:52.558-07:002012-10-24T04:50:52.558-07:00I posted the video of this approval and picked Adr...I posted the video of this approval and picked Adrian's agenda as the photo for the 2nd video. take a close look at what it says. Brinkman was not going to allow McGilly to crticize the staff. Interrupting a speaker at the podium during these kinds of presentations, takes away the thunder of the speaker. They do it to you all the time. People should realize moving the trees twice is impractical. it was a solution to pacify the public, at public expense. It brought resolve to the issue, and it provided false hope to those who want to save the trees. Davis' comment about creating a "tree farm" on San Pablo Ave. is far fetched. It satisfied the role of Council Member Davis, and now Brinkman following her lead of not doing anything to interfere with the progress of the project. Once a deal is made with a developer nothing shall be changed or get in the way of the project. You can't say the Staff was bias against the trees. They simply don't matter, but still no information was provided with the potential of letting people know they would be taken out. The proposed new ballot measure addresses that problem as all of the immediate neighbors with 500 feet would have to receive email notice.Ken Bukowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568401808227073074noreply@blogger.com
