The Challenges of Growth: SB 9 & SB 10
Dear Friends:
With pleasure, we’d like to share with you the JUNE 2022 Los Altos Hills OUR TOWN NEWSLETTER. The impact of SB 9 & SB 10 is the lead article.
While we started out with a simple concept for the Our Town Newsletter – to introduce the negative aspects of SB 9 and SB 10 and its egregious impact on our rural community – that initial concept had to be modified.
Why you may ask?
Because for all the reasons we love Los Altos Hills it could not possibly be complete without providing the history of why we chose to live here and the importance of the planning process and local control.
Our goal is to preserve, protect and enhance the Town. Not unlike what our founders chose to do 66 years ago. The new generation of residents, may not know or grasp the importance of our history nor wish to understand it.
But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t share it with them. Thanks to editor, Alex Atkins – who is also an excellent historian and writer, we have a much more balanced article that will serve the Town today and in the future.
The article is balanced and reflects both supporters and opposition. Members from Hills 2000 – Friends of the Hills have been great to contribute some ideas to this comprehensive documentation. Grateful thanks to Susan Kirsch, president of Catalysts CA for her insightful contributions.
We hope that today’s citizens & city council members and those in the future will be well-served by it.
Kind thanks,
Duffy Price, Secretary
