I am opposed to Measure O primarily for 4 reasons.

1: Our water supply is still not sufficient for current needs in drought years adding more housing will only make it worse. The city is still charging on a tiered basis charging more for people who use what is considered too much Even in a non-drought year.

2. Measure O will change the character of the town moving in the direction of more suburbs.

3. Measure O will not decrease the price of housing, rather than focusing on demand, addressing the cost of building housing and lowering interest rates overall is the best approach, something beyond our towns ability to fix.

4. I’m opposed to giving more power to the City Council which has abused its power in the past, focusing too much on subsidizing liberal policies and too little on necessary, infrastructure and public safety.
