This is a terrible decision for a major thoroughfare through town and a highway. How did this happen? The traffic will back up at significant times of the day, and there just is not enough bike...

Everyone has their own set of circumstances, no shaming is intended. However, renting to a local person, couple, or family who lost their apartment rental or home on a month to month arrangement...

Convert your short term rentals to regular rentals for those displaced by the fires. You know what to do.

Not all conjure and assumptions are correct. Check assumptions is what I am asking. How does he know that is true?

How do you know that this is true? I don't think you understand the complexity of the software business from your statement.

I just want to remind us that Headlines matter. I had to counter balance the current thread that is out there.

I invite community members who have actually used SWMC since it reopened to add your...

Guess what, the hospital is NOT dead. Let's stop the negativity towards Dan and Joan. What kind of world do you want to live in when it really gets down to it. You have no idea what it took to get...

This kind of response is uninformed and very negative. This is not what the community needs right now. The hospital is doing quite well right now if you really pay attention. Dan and Joan are NOT...

The Valley fire is the 5th devastating fire in Lake County this summer. People need housing and so much more. This is the time for the people of Sonoma County who have rental opportunities to...

I appreciate that you keep the dialogue going, I am affected by the tone more than the questions. Also, I just want to provide a different perspective in this thread...
Peace out,

I have been reading the latest critiques with a heavy sigh, as few people get to see what is happening at the hospital to insure that it will open with a different model for success. Everyone there...

This is great to hear as I have been very concerned as well that we are without an ER for a district with over 60,000 residents. On Sunday I stopped to speak with an ambulance driver who was on duty...

Thanks, Dan. Working together is the ideal goal for sure. Has the District Board stated they will make sure an ER will be included in the plan?

Also, just an FYI, Kaiser Santa Rosa is a...

You have provided a great deal of information about Palm Drive Foundation and it's operations, current approach and differences, Dr. Gude and Dan Smith, fundraising abilities, etc.

I do not trust the news media much these days and that is why I pointed out the headline about the judge "refusing" mediation, when in fact he recommended it.

The hidden agenda and conflict of...

I found the headline in this week's Sonoma West Times an interesting choice of perspective: "Judge Denies Mediation Request in Hospital Saga". Since many people read the headlines, and only the...

Thank you, Jonathan, for your comprehensive reply. We all have friends and neighbors on either or both sides of the issue. This has become more personal than it should and emotions are running very...

This is a must read article/series for West County residents. Please take the time to understand what the facts are behind the closure of Palm Drive Hospital. Thank you Jonathan for your time and...

Does anyone know if there will be a memorial for Terry? Send prayers for his son and family. May he rest in peace!

It does seem to be a good year for weddings, yes? We need an indoor wedding venue for about 80 people in December. I have found a few but would love to know about more options.

Has anyone been...

Has there been any other proposals for that site? I think the best way to change this up is for a new developer to propose an alternative plan that provides a more appropriate type of business for...

As many of us know, West County only has a winter shelter in Guerneville. Funding for homeless and transitional programs are way down right now. Even existing non-profit programs are in jeapordy...
