Fremont Lifer, so you want the city council to make a ballot measure for every dollar they spend? $100k for a city of fremont’s size is peanuts. Think about the empty land all over fremont. If we plant lemons there and sell it, I bet we make much more money. How many years have those lands been left fallow?

You can please some of the people, some of the time. Call it as you see it and let the voters decide.

As I clearly stated, I do not speak for Vinnie Bacon. He is fully capable of speaking for himself. His e-mail and, I believe, his phone number are available at the site noted.

An evaluation of any proposed development must include a comparative analysis of benefits to the city. How would an investment in one project bring a superior return than an investment of those same dollars in any another business endeavor at the same site? This has not been done in the case of the stadium proposal.

City staff have unilaterally decided that it was worth spending in the neighborhood of $100,000 on a study requested by a developer who will not reimburse the City for that cost, and at a time when City services are going unfunded. This is irresponsible and unconscionable.

FremontBill, you are coming out and I appreciate it. So what do you think about my plan of growing trees in all the vacant land in fremont. I sure bet fremont will look better when those empty lots are lined up with trees.

FremontLifer, so are you saying Vinnie is against reducing carbon footprint and is actually for development? If so, Vinnie goes back to Group1

Growing trees is the only viable alternative on that site and centerville. Think about it? You guys are going to oppose more homes. Upscale retail is ruled out. You can put a performing arts center which will die a slow death. What else ?

Bill, Don’t confuse contrary opinions with negative opinions. I’ll let my contribution to this thread do the talking. You and Vinnie can let yours do the same.

Andy,
I to can be called a tree hugger, yes I care about our environment.
It is people like you that think it is a big joke, that is one of the reasons we have gotten to the point we are at now.
Do you know what a tipping point is, well we are close to it.
I want a city councilmember that is concerned about OUR environment.

Marty, it is apparent that you hate Vinne, you have been dissing him for a long time.
Fortunately, you have no credibility. You are full of negative opinions
I support Vinnie Bacon, because He is more qualified then anyone on the council, except
Anu Natarajan, who I hope will run again
