The Sunnyvale Police is now the Sunnyvale Secret Police. They switched to encrypted radio communications on November 1, 2020, from a trunked digital system. The Public can no longer listen to Sunnyvale DPS communication. What are they hiding?

I am very excited that we have younger people coming into our city’s leadership who really understand how badly the housing shortage poisons our community and civic health. Sunnyvale does better than many neighboring cities in permitting new housing, but it still far from enough. As the leadership turns over, we have an opportunity to lead our transition from a town that wants to pretend it is still a rural orchard into a small city that makes it easy for residents to get around with their own two legs and afford to live here. With our new downtown taking shape, progressive housing and transportation policies can help us set the bar for other peninsula cities.

I don’t think I’m stating anything beyond the obvious, but I see the comments here are a bunch of haters, so it is worthwhile to say something decent.

> Cisneros, 33, became the first-ever Latina and openly queer person to be elected to the Sunnyvale City Council. Din, 23, became the first Muslim, South Asian and youngest person ever to join the seven-member body.”

Postmodernism “identity politics” plus “intersectionality”.

> Klein emphasized inclusion and diversity as part of his campaign message, recognizing the fact that over 50 percent of Sunnyvale residents are foreign-born.

Did anyone try running on a campaign message of “harmony and coherence”?

Did anyone question whether on not “diversity is our strength” is actually true?

> After graduating from Cornell, Din had to move back in with his parents’ place and spend three hours a day commuting back and forth to his job in San Francisco because he was priced out of the city where he grew up. “My family has been renting the entire time I’ve lived in Sunnyvale due to how unaffordable it is to buy a house,” he said. “I know how important it is to see change in this area.”

One of the ways to “see change in the area” and bring down the cost of housing is to make Sunnyvale a completely wretched and undesirable place to live.

Maybe higher taxes, more rent control, more crime, worse schools, etc.

PRESTO! Lower rents, more vacancies, AND MORE AFFORABLE HOUSING!

Those 49ers got those people elected no doubt. What are bloggers in their underwear who hug their Hulk Hogan dolls going to do?
