    • Stop catering to a loud and vocal minority and listen to/lean on the community that actually lives, works and pays bills in this community.
    • Cal Poly students and their parents are only here for a few years; they and their money no matter how great can no longer be allowed to dictate and rule our city
    • Look at other cities in our area that are growing and thriving (ie Paso).. there are GLARING differences in what their downtown is doing compared to ours. Our city council, DT association and mayor are in denial about it.
    • What has been done to Marsh and Higuera is a full on traffic hazard and a waste of money and resources. Every day the busiest streets downtown are reduced to 1 lane with delivery drivers having to dart across traffic and vehicles backed up for blacks because of this nonsense.
    • There needs to be harsher consequences for Cal Poly students who keep getting noise citations. In the real their are consequences for your actions. They are supposed to be learning to be adults and since their parents have swooped in and buy a home for them and their friends and pay their fines every weekend they are not learning the lessons while their neighbors who have worked their butts off to buy their homes and still have to go to work the next day because Cinco de Mayo fell on a Tuesday and oddly enough Wednesday is a normal workday.
