Help shape Mt. View's Housing Element! - 1/26/09, 7pm
Attinger, Steve
As a follow up to my email a little earlier, I wanted to make you aware
of another meeting occurring on Monday, 1/26, following the CESC
meeting. It is related to Mountain View's "Housing Element," and is
described in the attached flyer. There will be a guest speaker, as well
as City staff present.
Hope you can make it!
Steve

Hi, Joan,
I'm writing to tell you about an event you may already know about.
The League of Women Voters of the Los Altos - Mountain View Area has
organized an event dealing with the current updating of the housing
elements of our cities' general plans. The event will be held on the
evening of Monday, January 26th from 7:00-9:00 pm in the Mountain View
City Council Chambers. Admission is free.
They have asked me to be one of the speakers that evening. In addition
to providing a brief overview of the housing element update process, I
will be emphasizing that local housing element updates provide an
important opportunity not only to address housing issues, but also to
address a variety of other critical changes and challenges that will
be affecting our future for decades to come -- including climate
change, the aging of our population, the end of cheap oil, population
growth, the need to make public transit more viable, reducing total
vehicle miles traveled, etc.
Some of these are issues that the Mountain View Environmental
Sustainability Task Force has been working to address.
If you think that some of the Task Force members might be interested
in attending, please feel free to pass along the attached flyer.
Thank you for all your hard work with the Task Force.
Don
