This is a great idea! Yeah for housing over parking! There are many many many many many likely objections to any development like this. No new housing will ever be built anywhere in California, if...

This is great for those who need this necessary drug. Another reason I can think of is the employees. As far as I know all the employees of the CVS next to Lucky's will be employed at the new store....

Here's a quote from an email Lynda wrote to address this concern. Published with Lynda's approval:

I can't tell you how trite and silly the accusations from the campaigns and supporters of both Noreen Evans and Lynda Hopkins that the other one recently moved into the district sound to me.

No one has represented the homeowners yet! I've been here since 1974, and all of the expenses related to having a home in Sebastopol have increased, some of them recently by five times. Water in...

I suggest not talking like that in front of prospective landlords.

It's just the rental market. It may seem like a tired old cliche but supply and demand is absolutely in play here and is probably the cornerstone of our economic system. Believe it or not there are...

Supply & demand. West County is a small beautiful place. There's more people who want to live here, than there are places for rent. Thus rents go up.

Because Sebastopol is an enclave or relatively well-to-do white baby-boomer hippies who would rather not have the character of the town changed by adding housing and more people. So since there is no...

There's not much you can do to change the minds of landlords who refuse Section 8 tenants. That's a fact that you have to live with. You may need to change your goal of finding a one bedroom home,...
