- We appeal to our City Officials not to give up our last piece of vacant public land to the developer Sares Regis - - to be utilized for private use and gain. Our public land must be preserved to benefit the community at large. Please honor the results of the 2006 Survey of the Residents, wherein they expressed their desired usage of the 15-acre open space public land.
- We plead that you stop the plans to overbuild and to allow numerous towers and high-density buildings to rise in our City. As it stands right now, our community is already at its limit in terms of density and capability to absorb more buildings and population. Our schools are full and our traffic condition is at a gridlock. The city government and the community are ill-prepared to handle the proposed unwarranted growth.
Just because these proposed projects have been in the drawing board for a long time, is not sufficient cause for City officials and the developer to proceed with them at all cost. It is better to minimize losses than to mortgage a community’s future.
- Please listen to us with an open heart and mind when we voice our concerns and issues.
OUR MESSAGE
We hope you will have the flexibility to deviate from your proposed developmental direction. Indeed, it takes deep conviction to earnestly realize that pursuing the general welfare is the high road to take. And most of all, it requires humility to be willing to change course.
As our elected officials to whom we have given our trust to represent us, we implore that you take seriously our welfare and the pursuit of our best interest. We ask you to safeguard our right to privacy, protect the peaceful enjoyment of our homes, and preserve the freedom that we have in our community. May you never allow anything against our “collective will” to be imposed on us.
This is not about money nor revenue. This is about principles and conscience. This is about justice and fairness to the Foster City residents. This is about the sacred duty of city officials to be good stewards of the city finances and to protect their constituents by looking after their welfare and pursuing what is best for them and nothing against their will. Lastly, this is about people -- their inalienable rights to privacy, safety, and peaceful enjoyment of their homes and community. It is about the quality of their lives, their future, and the community they love and deeply care about.
As we have placed you in office, we have bestowed on you the sacred duty of representation. We hope that the trust we have accorded you will be honored and respected and will truly be deserved.
