#4 Demonize a developer Bruce, that what you do best…Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson recently said “ Losing the Kings (a professional sports franchise) would cost the region between 600 and 1,000 full- and part-time jobs.”
Meanwhile the Hansen-Ballmer group in Seattle was finalizing a deal to buy the team for $500 million. Believe it or not Vinnie Bacon in his infante wisdom contends a professional sports franchise was a raw deal for Fremont and worked hard to successfully chase that cash cow out of Fremont.
As a result Fremont doesn’t have a professional sports franchise like 40+ metro areas in North America, so I ask you is it time for Vinnie to resign?

I dont think you have to worry about developers in this town. They’ll continue to do just fine if this news article is any indication.

After all, as reported at the link below, it appears that our goal is to ensure that no Fremont residence is more than three miles from a grocery store!

(Dont get me wrong, I’m not certain that high-density housing was a good idea for this particular location, but, it’s a tad-bit unsettling when proximity to a supermarket is offered as a primary motivation for municipal planning decision making)

“According to city reports, residents in that particular area of Centerville must currently travel as many as three miles to the nearest grocery store.”
