The Grant Road Open Space Fights Not Over; Please Join Our Cause! Issues Beyond Palo Alto, posted by Daniel Mart, a resident of Mountain View, on Nov 7, 2009 at 10:11 am Daniel Mart is a member (registered user) of Palo Alto Online
Hi you all,
Please join our cause to preserve and protect the over-century-old open space on Grant Road in Mountain View, one of our last remaining patches of natural wilderness:
Developers have so much money; they basically use the status quo to say "screw you" to the public. Public hearings on housing and hotel developments are a joke, as the developer already knows that they've won; there is just so much money in these types of developments, and city governments are too cowardly and special-interest-serving to stand up to for the greater good.
The status quo "has to change."
And anyway ... nobody is even buying houses now! And San Jose is currently seeing a record amount of empty office space!

Do you want to buy this property and convert it to a park? Do you want someone else to buy it? Who even owns it right now and what do they want to do with it?
