Good intentions but vague, poorly written proposition.

All the comments in opposition made a difference.

The way to keep San Mateo appealing to the next generation is to let them afford to live in it, as owners, as renters, as parents.

Not okay, carbrained Boomers.

Rules for e-bikes have nothing to do with child’s death by a driver.

Covers only unincorporated county similar to Marin county ordinance.

Menlo Park is in Find Out mode.

Stanford is wrong to abandon Flock rather than fix how the technology is governed.

License plate readers are legitimate public-safety tools, and Stanford acknowledges that its cameras helped identify and arrest repeat thieves. The problem described here is not that the technology cannot be useful; it is that data-sharing rules, access controls, retention policies, and oversight were not strong enough.

Stanford could have required strict limits on data retention, disabled external searches, conducted regular audits, documented every search, and imposed penalties for misuse. Replacing the system may address one architectural concern, but it does not eliminate the broader privacy risks associated with license plate surveillance. Any camera network can be misused without transparent policies and independent oversight.

The better response would have been to preserve a proven investigative tool while establishing enforceable safeguards. Stanford’s decision appears driven more by public backlash than by a balanced assessment of safety, privacy, and accountability.

The California Attorney General has sent the City of Menlo Park notice that they violated AB 2011 and the Housing Accountability Act in its processing of the Willow Park project.

Once the fire is extinguished (it's still not extinguished as of 9:08 AM!), there are going to be two questions that need to be answered:

• How did this start? (Obviously)

• How did this fire become so difficult to contain and extinguish?

There have been some reporting and rumors that the fire started on the first floor from a BBQ, but that does remain unconfirmed and we won't see an announcement anytime soon on that. But with multiple other buildings in that complex, one has to ask about how the fire grew and burned to keep the tenants in those buildings safe, and all of their belongings safe, for the future.

Reason 456,641,094 why Flock cameras are bad. Looking at you Redwood City.

This is such an awesome program for just about anything one might need for their dorm room.

Went back and forth with a recruiter who was set on upselling me on resume enhancement services. After saying thanks but no thanks, they next claimed I needed to provide my LinkedIn profile and password because “as part of our internal profile review process, I would kindly ask that you share your LinkedIn login details at your earliest convenience. This enables our team to complete a comprehensive review of your professional profile alongside your resume before we proceed to the next stage of the selection process.”

Next they’ll ask for my mother’s maiden name and my first pet.

Entitled drivers ARE the problem.

Calexico, Costa Mesa, Half Moon Bay, Ridgecrest, and Turlock enter Find Out mode in their Housing Element.
