Bottom-Line, We do not have the water resources for this project or any others at this point. Let be heard at the ballot box!

"The bottom line is" governments have to abide by the law.

To Willy, dense housing without lawns is extremely water efficient! The sprawl caused by single family homes, which requires driving everywhere and watering individual yards is extremely environmentally inefficient.

The data backs this up, the environmental cost per person in dense cities is much lower than in the suburbs. Adding apartment buildings to Livermore where people can live more affordably and help the environment is a total win-win.

Concerning the Eden Housing Referendum item

Let Livermore Vote. 8,000 Livermore citizens signed petitions to qualify the referendum giving city voters a voice on the location of Eden Housing. The city should be respecting the process and allowing a vote. That represents nearly half the usual voter turnout.

There is no legal, moral, or ethical basis for the council to override Livermore citizen constitutional rights to petition the government. Your city council overreach of power is noted. And, the captured City Clerk should be returned to an elected post placed above paycheck pressures of the City council and staff, freed to carry out their duties of office unhampered.
