Comment on Rent Review Advisory Council Meets Tonight by Dennis

Owner’s of rental property. Purchase these properties in order to make a profit on their investment. The rental fee is usually what the market will bear. Profit is not a crime. If the Mayor wants to purchase rental property and make a profit of $1.00 a month, then that is her business. I choose to make as much profit as I can. If the renter’s don’t like the profit that I am making then they should go and rent the Mayor’s property! Nobody is breaking the renters arm to rent my property. City hall (Mayor) needs to keep their nose out of my business. I don’t care what the Mayor rent’s her property (if she has any) for, because that is her business. Got it? The last time that I checked I found that our country is a Democratic country, not a Socialist country nor a Communistic country. I hope that we can keep it that way. You want rent control? Then go live in Berkeley or San Francisco!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment on Community Workshop to Discuss Five-Legged Intersection at Third Avenue by David Howard, Editor, Publisher, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer

They looked at this last year, and residents disputed that there was an issue and didn’t want anything done. A local traffic engineer dug in and concluded that the City had overstated the problem to obtain federal funds.

The intersection of, Central ave.,Versailles St. and Gibbons Dr also needs to be reviewed. Very difficult to cross Central Ave. from either Versailles or Gibbons. Near misses all day long.

Comment on Increased Parking Fees, Fines to Help Balance Alameda Budget by Dennis

Dennis — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 06:40:26 +0000

Why is it that the West End ( Webster Street) always gets the shaft from the city? Double the parking fines for Webster Street VS. 33% for Park Street? Here’s a novel idea, how about sticking it to the East End for a change? It’s time for the West End to get a brake!

[...] See a local news report on last night’s meeting trying to win support a plan that doesn’t remediate the soil and places the ongoing burden of protecting environmental and public health on the City of Alameda. City Manager Russo is apparently all for this. (!) Story is here. [...]
