I have been stuck in a crap hole apartment for 6 years due to medical bills and unfair reletting fee from Spanish Oaks Apts who has fought me whole time from removeing from my credit, it doesn't look like a reletting fee so no one even with empicable work and renters history will rent to me asept one which crap hole is putting it nicely!! The living conditions have been hazardous to our health and has only added more health issues. If any one would take the time to leave there office and come see for themselves the condition of this property and do there job it would probably be comdemed!! From lies,false advertising, constant revolving door of unqualified manager s and maittance,to a owner transfer of one slum loard to another! Raw sewage every where that isn't properly cleaned or maitained to over flowing dumpsters, no working pool! Most apartments don't have A.C 's or heat, no hot water for weeks or months at a time. Broken or cracked windows and unsecured doors. Mold and foundation issues. Some people go week's and months without stoves and referators. Then if that's not enough than let's talk about how some people are nickled and dimed with high utilities bill that cost more than a 3 bedroom house and based off of lieing about sqft. and chargeing for minor's who are occiopent s. ( They should not be allowed to charge for anyone under 16) cause so have adults who aren't on the lease and don't get charged but, then you have a single mom with two kids trying to get by and by the time you pay 150 to 200 water bill there is nothing left to feed your kids!! I also believe that if people haft to go with out basics like hot water, electrical shorts , ac,heat,stove, referators,then they should get a discount for every month they went without! At this point they owe me a years rent for sure! No security lights, broken fence's, and broken security gates and no security which are all falsely advertised!!

My birthday wish as I enter my 62nd year takes one click but will have tremendous impact if enough of us follow through. I am asking my friends and family in Santa Fe, in New Mexico and around the world to send a strong message to the Mayor of Santa Fe and the City Councilors. The message is simple and universal. Support local youth, families and public institutions. Specifically, there are three policy areas that are of critical concern, and that will be voted on or addressed by council action as early as July 25th. Here is a little background. 1. The city council may be voting as soon as July 25th to move forward with a plan for developing the taxpayer owned property formerly known as the College of Santa Fe, which was also leased for a time to pricey, private, for-profit design colleges that failed and served very few local students. Despite the city’s claims of massive public participation in the planning process, only about 1200 people responded to their surveys. Of those only 17% were Hispanos, and only 6 or so were in Spanish. These were mostly the same people that attended the three public forums, and several dozen Spanish speaking families and children from a local soccer league that uses the facilities had to demand a space at one of the forums to even be heard. So the city is trying to move forward with less than 1% of the population participating in any meaningful way. This is not equitable, not democratic and not acceptable. The most important questions have not been addressed nor even asked. We demand that the process be stopped and a new one, led by community, be supported that first addresses the most critical questions. 2. Most of the new housing development that is being built is not affordable, is concentrated in district 3 and is devouring available open space without any plan for parks, recreation, commercial or civic spaces. There is also little thought to the impact on local schools, traffic, infrastructure and existing communities. We demand that new developments be accompanied by plans, developed by local communities, for all the areas of concern mentioned. 3. A common refrain in this administration's marketing of their plans, especially around housing and economic development, is that we need to “attract and retain” talented young people to Santa Fe. We find this insulting and dismissive of local youth, their families and the educational institutions, both public and private, that help to educate and prepare them. In fact, one of the most common suggestions for the College of Santa Fe property is to “attract” an institution of higher learning, preferably from California, to locate there. They have totally ignored and insulted our own Santa Fe Community College, which is actually already there, and the partnerships with New Mexican institutions represented by the Higher Education Center. This is part of a broader dismissing of local cultures and populations, except as objects for tourists to stare at or purchase, and will not be tolerated. We demand that the city invest in and support local youth, families and institutions. By clicking on the following link you will help send a message that local youth, families and communities should be the priority, that local wisdom should lead and inform decision making, and that we need to make decisions based on equity and inclusion. Thank you for helping with my birthday wish and please share with all your networks. Miguel Acosta

Mayor Rico Medina and Council Member Irene O'Connell have not acknowledge the need to review the TCP parking requirements. They have been asked by the public to take action. Without revisions our neighborhoods will become parking for future development projects. Council member Salazar asked the council to review the TCP at the last city council meeting. Council member Marty Medina and Laura Davis supported Mr. Salazar's request. The more support we get for this petition the more likely they will be to make the revisions. The TCP requires new development to provide 0.75 parking spaces for a studio apartment, 1 parking space for a 1 bedroom and 1 or 2 parking spaces for a 2 bedroom. The new construction at 406 -418 San Mateo Ave was approved and is being built with 86 apartments and 106 parking spaces. There are (2) studios, (43) 1 bedroom, (30) 2 bedroom, (3) 3 bedroom apartments and (5) retail spaces. The city waived the parking requirements for the retail. As a result, more than 30 cars will likely park on Taylor and Mastick Ave. The TCP calls for 1610 new residential units. If they do not revise the TCP, our neighborhoods will become the parking lots for the new development. Where will you park? Please email Mayor Rico Medina, Vice Mayor Laura Davis, and Council members Iren O'Connoll, Marty Medina, and Michael Salazar, at [email protected]. Ask them to listen to their constituents, not the wealthy developers. We must make them hear us. Please sign our petition. Please share our petition with 5 neighbors, asking them to share with 5 more. Thank you.

The purpose is to ask the Irving, Texas City Council to investigate our concerns before spending 44million taxpayer dollars.

Twelve of my working, voting, paying taxes and good deed doer friends have had developers knock on their doors saying, "I know you've lived here 12 (20; 5; 8, etc) years but you now have eight months to move unless you have a million dollars. Your apartment is now a condo. Have a nice day." There are high rise buildings all over the city with empty apartments. Enough empty apartments to house the 50,000 evacuees from the Porter Ranch Gas Leak. We have 60,000 homeless and no place for them to go. The Porter Ranch people have all gone home. Who are in those empty high-rises? Wealthy foreign students, transient business people, a few local "wealthies," and corporations who keep apartments. WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING for our own tax paying, voting constituents. The governor, the mayor, and our city council can each afford not to be paid that little extra under the table for three years. They may resume their thievery at the end of the three-year moratorium on building non-affordable housing. When we saw a city councilman dressed in a silk suit to negotiate with developers who wanted to build in Los Angeles, we knew he did not want to appease the 200 people gathered outside to oppose it. He was there to impress the developers and design his own pockets. If California is so wonderful, let's prove it. Let's actually do something for the middle and working class people who live here and who actually pay our leaders' salaries and benefits. (I can't afford to buy you a silk suit and I'm not sure the bulk of your constituents can afford it either.) WHO IS MINDING THE STORE? We've got to ourselves. And don't think your vote doesn't count.....it does.

My ministry at church is outreach. I have seen first hand the homeless issue and it's heartbreaking. Very few people choose to be homeless. Let's ALL show them the respect that they deserve. Give them a job that they can be proud of. Other States have done this and it works.

Safety

We believe the proposed housing site, Map ID #19, consisting of 6 lots: 682 Clark Ave, 672 Clark Ave, 672 Clark Ave, 2 x Union Street and 556 Union Street if developed, will result in a substantial increase in traffic in our small neighborhoods and will create a health and safety issue. The proposed development (Map ID #19) is buried in our small neighborhood with access only via our rural, narrow streets which already act in a single lane capacity given the street widths combined with the residential street parking. This is true for ALL access points: Clark Ave, La Mirada Ave, Del Rio Ave, Del Riego Ave, and Union St. Additionally, a housing development is now in construction on Clark with no infrastructure or street development to support the increase in traffic. As such, we the undersigned, given the additional hazards the proposed development will present, and in order to protect our children, maintain the safety of our neighborhood and maintain the quality of life in Leucadia, request the City of Encinitas to remove the proposed at Map ID #19 from the housing plan.

When I walk through my neighborhood with my parents I don't see people splashing and playing in pools. It just seems like the perfect time to get one. We have to leave our neighborhood just to find a pool, and parents are always wanting kids outside, so please sign this petition.

The "Loop" gas station/ convenience store is re-applying with Calistoga to take over the corner of Petrified Forest and Foothill, across the street from the Arco station that is already problematic to people who live in this neighborhood. Our primary concerns are still the same: (1) "Traffic Nightmare." Traffic would increase by an estimated 1,228 cars per day. Anyone who lives in Calistoga knows how backed up this four-way stop gets daily; this increase would greatly worsen that situation. (2) "Commuter Corridor" vs "Scenic Entry to Calistoga." The Loop station would emphasize Calistoga as a quick stopping place for commuters between Lake County and Santa Rosa/ Napa. For visitors and residents, the entry to our historic town would be formulaic and utilitarian, with no respect for the surrounding countryside. (3) "Environmental Impact." Cyrus Creek is an important tributary to the Napa River; runoff from such a huge project with spilled gas and car wash chemicals would be unavoidable. (4) "Quality of Life Impact." The Arco station at that corner already draws a negative influence, including people sleeping in vehicles, drinking/ doing drugs in the parking lot, and dumping trash into Cyrus Creek. A larger gas station would draw a transient crowd looking for a place to sleep overnight in their cars and do drug deals. At the last Commission meeting, the owners of the Loop said they would provide a "400 pound security robot" to monitor the parking lot; the very fact that they need to provide such a thing is a sign that they know there will be problems. Help us slow down the increasingly frantic pace of development in our small town and reconsider what we want our entrances to convey! Sign our petition to let the Planning Commission know that neighbors object, then show up for the meetings (to be announced via email as that information becomes available.) Please pass this petition on to your friends and neighbors.

Concerned because we are unable to find an example of a similar facility being implemented successfully anywhere in the country next to a school. We are concerned over the safety, health, and welfare of our children and the elderly, our most vulnerable populations being directly next door. We have found some rehab facilities near private schools and daycares that have had documented issues, however, none of these facilities is of the same type and caliber of the one being proposed.

Due to the cancellation of the July HOA meeting, this petition is being made. According to Article 4, Section 3 of the community bylaws, 10% of the residents can sign a petition and require a special meeting of the board. This petition is designed to require the president of the HOA to call a meeting to discuss and vote on potentially sealing the 2209 pedestrian gate.
