We're with Jim Gibbon ! There IS NOT one advantage to developing North Camino Ramon area for the city of San Ramon . It will only make traffic worse , disturb the existing open space and overcrowd our schools. Please reconsider this project and shelve it forever .

Sue, it is always much easier to 'just say no' to everything, then it is to work for a 'win-win' solution. In reality, there is always a way to find a fit for most things. There are lots of positive things that could result from the NCRSP, and there are a few negative aspects that can be adequately addressed.

In planning decisions, there are never black and white answers. Most answers lie in shades of grey. It took me some time to figure that out, and it made things much less stressful and emotional once I figured that out. There are those who are polarized in their thinking, but the truth lies in the middle.

If that is the case Bob P , please give me just one good reason for this project other then providing jobs for construction workers and income for developers.

It sure would be nice if my kids could afford to live here while they save up to buy a home of their own. I also like the idea of my grandchildren going to school here.
