As I gather from their websites, neither Bacon nor McDonald are anti-development. They’re anti-dumb-development. They’re pro-smart-development. We all know that Fremont needs to grow – the question is how.

Were you aware that Mr. Bacon has degrees in city planning and transportation engineering? Sounds like somebody who might know how to help Fremont manage its inevitable growth.

While many try to portray FCN (the local grassroots group that Ms. McDonald helped establish) as being anti-growth, the truth is that both Ms. McDonald and a large percentage of the membership of FCN are realists who know that local growth cannot and should not be stopped, but it can and should be intelligently managed.

No, Fremont is not Yosemite, but it’s certainly not “barren”, and I think we’d all like it to be livable at minimum, thriving at best. Fremont does have advantages in terms of demographics, climate, location, and other factors. The current occupants of the City Council view Fremont as so worthless that they sell off large sections of it for one dollar.

Time for new management.

Yosemite, High sierras are a no-no for development. I do not consider fricking fremont to have any pristine stuff that needs protected. All we got is barren lands with squirrels running rampant.

So this is for the guys who are running for city council, if you think you oppose the current incumbent and oppose As, dont think you will be in office automatically. Most people in this city are practical people and not leftist loonies. Fremont is centrist !!!
