I am terribly worried about Palo Alto and Stanford's growth mindset. These plans will seriously compromise our quality of life on the Peninsula.

It is an appropriate exaction for SU to fund a new school, based on student population growth caused by their development.

As we grow into an extended urban area It is absolutely critical that any developer--and especially Stanford as a major landholder and developer--be held accountable to the greater public good and quality of life for all. That means issues of eco-responsible building standards and sustainable community standards be rigorously applied. No doubt about it!!!

Stanford is like a vaccum and will suck up the life/energy of everything around it --- it must have guidelines that are livable with the surrounding communities

We need to put a cap on development on the peninsula. Our freeways and main arteries have exceeded capacity, and there is no more room for growth without destroying the quality of life in what used to be a highly desirable place to live.

This could be a tremendous opportunity for the University to be a leader in creating and studying solutions to carbon neutral development, housing solutions for dense urban areas, and true regional transportations solutions. The results of this real world research would be invaluable to other cities in our increasingly urbanized global landscape.

There is only so much space on the Peninsula, and Stanford keeps coming back for more. The traffic and congestion in this area grows daily, and must be controlled by everyone interested in maintaining some quality of life and environmental balance.

Stanford needs to consider the impact of their indefinate expansion on the quality of life on campus and in the surrounding communities. A build out square footage limit and permanent ban on foothils development is appropriate.

Further expansion of Stanford should be rejected. Their request increases the problems of more traffic, more stress on water resources and reduces the quality of life.
