The climate crisis

Contrary to what we constantly read in the local newspapers, the real crisis is climate change, not a housing shortage. Climate change and its companion issues, climate engineering and methane expulsion have enormous negative repercussions. The planet, climate, environment, infrastructure, transportation systems all have real physical limits. In the Bay Area, those limits have already been exceeded. More housing will just make matters worse.
Climate change is not a linear proposition. Much of the biosphere has already been destroyed. Yet even more housing and its associated development will add to the climate's destruction.
The insane legislation put forward by Sacramento's developer funded politicians in SB 50 (Transit housing) and AB 1487 (Bay Area Housing) will further accelerate the climate's destruction. Physical resources are finite. Continued growth is no longer sustainable.
Climate change is not tomorrow's problem. Research the issues. Connect the dots. The repercussions are huge and disastrous.

A thanks to the town of Moraga

I'm 16 years old and am a Scout with Troop 212. I just wanted to compliment the Town staff and Council for the wonderful job they are doing to keep Moraga a wonderful place to live. It is such a great little oasis in Contra Costa and I love living here. Moraga Commons Park is always so well taken care of and is so beautiful. I would love to see some more variety in the restaurants here, but other than that it's great.
Thanks again.
