"Leon Leong says the City Council needs more diversity." Well, that's just what is happening. All three women that ran for City Council look like they're going to be elected - that's diversity in a male dominated City Council.

when they talk about diversity they do not mean the sexes of the councils. come on now.

diversity means difference of opinion, decision making is improved when you have diverse views not diverse skin color or sex.

Group think occurs if you do not have diverse opinions.

Palo Alto politics lack diversity of opinion, that is why we are in so much trouble.
