They'll buy them with the $900,000. profit <br />they'll get from their <br />$30,000. investments. You'll probably end up having us subsidize a lower end, for people <br />that didn't bother <br />planning for senior years. The middle-income probably won't be able to afford for <br />themselves, but they'll <br />subsidize the others. As wrong as it is, that is not the battle I'm fighting today. <br />The crime against all of Pleasanton is that I don't see anything about blocking Busch Rd. <br />with barriers <br />or cul de sacs. The issue seems to be omitted in the PUD. It mentions ' no significant effect" <br />which is not <br />true. I have been quite vocal 6-8 times to City Council, about the desperate need to keep that <br />traffic off Valley Ave. <br />Barriers are ubiquitous in Pleasanton. You even allowed that part of Busch houses would be <br />separated from <br />other Busch houses, giving Mohr- Martin their own "gated community" (which was suppose <br />to go to Stanley. <br />There will be protests if freeway traffic is provided a shortcut to already-full Valley.. I know <br />it will be <br />fully discussed during the election. Any person that would connect Valley to 580, is not fit for <br />any position <br />in this city, elected or appointed. Tarring and feathering and public shame would be more <br />appropriate. <br />It would be UNconscionable for any one of you to approve the freeway connection, <br />considering the <br />volume of traffic already on Valley Ave. It would be UNconscionable to trash the "'quality of <br />life "for <br />ALL Pleasantonians. <br />Judy Symcox <br />Pleasanton owner <br />
