As a proud East High alumni I would love to see my alma mater take the necessary steps to provide this tool in order to ensure basic rights for all students.
Everyone should have the right to education and everyone should be able to get access to this education! It saddens me that our public buildings have still not developed to help everyone be able to easily get into the buildings. Everyone deserves to be able to go through the front doors of school without feeling embarrassed but feeling excited to learn.
My family has fallen victim to this hell and it costed the mother of my child her life and havent seen my son in 2 years and would love to expose these criminals that are acting as judges
I would like to walk over to take my kids to Karate and to get a milk, hangout in coffee shops or restaurants instead of hopping in a car and drive which creates more unneccasry carbon and impacts the environment.
There are long time residents in the area who are walking to the Fair Oaks Plaza to do their grocery shopping. People living nearby who don’t have cars depend on those retail shops. If that area is redeveloped, they need to include retail to serve the community.
North Sunnyvale is already lower income relative to the rest of Sunnyvale and many residents there do not have access to reliable transportation. Making North Sunnyvale a food desert make life even more difficult for residents who do not have reliable access to transportation and therefore need to walk to obtain groceries.
As someone who grew up in North Sunnyvale and studied and work in architecture, my experiences (personal and educational/professional) show urban design returning to mixed use developments.
As a local for almost three decades, I grew up with New Wing Yuan Supermarket and its strip mall location one neighborhood away. Taj Mahal is a couple neighborhoods away from me, but it’s a great place to find tropical food. It’s pretty sad to see how the rising rents have made the areas harder to sustain them.
In Europe and Asia, you see a lot of streets with commercial ground level and residential above. We at first separated residential zones from others for health purposes, but it seems like we’re taking it too far that it defeats the purpose of it.
To be blunt, if a mixed use development gets shot down or reduced, it’s likely a combo of government red tape and financial issues for the developers. Just something to think about as we push back against losing our mom and pop grocery stores.
I used to work at a firm behind a few major mixed use redevelopments in SJ, and if anything, people have power to push back. One project had to add a diagram to show how many existing street market vendors can reuse the area after redevelopment as this market is important to the history of SJ. While we definitely do not want to complicate the process and costs to increase housing, it’s possible for a win win situation.
If we want an example of a successful redevelopment, look at Cupertino Main Street. My old firm pushed back against the NIMBY politics there.
I’ve lived in this area since the 1990s. Dicks market was our original nearby store but it changed and now the only grocery stores are Grocery Outlet, Taj Mahal and Luckys. Taj Mahal has the best produce and fresh vegetables. I would be so saddened to lose this vital store. Due to lack of stores in close proximity I am forced to shop mostly in nearby Santa Clara. Sunnyvale needs to stop the excess home building and provide infrastructure that residents can shop at.
As a Single father who gets limited time with my son. The east side park, as well as all the other community parks are an essential resource for me to create memories, adventures, life and love between me and my son. The Morris community has a couple small parks spread around the town, which is very nice.
The East side park, is the HOME Park for most kids, events, vendors, public get-together.
As nice as the last renovations were to the East Side park, play time is limited with lack of “things to do”.
Currently the fees are too expensive for a county with a mean income average below the national standard. The sport of golfing and the physical benefits as well as stress reduction should be accessible to all citizens not just those who can afford the steep fees.
