what to do with your goat in a drowning world

Forget about 5G, wireless radiation, chemtrails, vaccines, and every other alarming health threat described by some perfectly reliable YouTube video. The very certain threat to your well being that...

I'm the Sebastopol newbie, so I don't know what your history with CVS is. It sounds bad, but may I offer a little different perspective? please without getting pummeled.

For the many, many of us who prefer to see the Palm Drive Hospital taxes used to provide health services as we voted for, I recommend voting for Smith and Colthurst, who have worked tirelessly and...

In Sebastopol, Calif.,...

The reality is that there is a dire need for housing. I was born in Sebastopol, have a Masters degree and am a working professional, and it is really difficult to find housing in Sebastopol let alone...

You just made a great argument for building housing in town. Then the elderly, mobility challenged etc.will actually live close to services and won't need to drive and park.

Parking is NOT the key...

Not using the available parking at CVS is cutting off your nose to spite your face. Using the parking does not help or harm CVS.

I love the idea of this project. Perhaps they could be "walk up" apartments for the un-autoed among us. In the heart of town - new vitality to an already friendly place. Of course there would need to...

So let's follow this logic....if the City sells the property, then the City is not in control of the property anymore and someone will take parking away to build something-no one buys real estate...

A few thoughts on Pine Grove Square:

1. This shouldn't be an "or" proposition (housing or parking). I think there is an "and" solution (housing and parking). If you look around downtown, there are...

I think that is a fantastic idea. I never understood why the City of Santa Rosa never did this as part of the studies leading up to the Courthouse Square reunification project. That is also exactly...

Yeah, that's a great idea, y'all move on over to Nevada...

I really don't understand all the complaining about parking. In the 18 years I have lived here, I have never not been able to find a parking spot. And I rarely park in that lot. I go to town at...

I'm going to assume you mean "baldness" and not "badness". ha ha!

You really put your foot in it this time.

My views on the second part by now have been well aired, and there is nothing to be gained by reiterating them here, so I will leave that part alone. However I am a little disappointed with the...
