Well the one situation that John Gervais has talked about is the issue on the crazy lady that I know as the crazy lady on Whipple avenue. This lady was crazy and she first started by writing on her house, then the city of Belmont spent money changing house codes. Finally, the lady protested on Ralston street and El Camino, which the city spent more money to kick her out. Gervais had an issue with this the city spent so much money on this one lady, which I agree with him. The city of Belmont just kicked the lady a city down to Redwood city. John Gervais is always struggling with the state because of funding with resent economical crisis the state of California has no money. The sad thing is that when the state does not have money they first start cutting funding for parks and education. I think they should never cut down the funding for parks and education. The city of Belmont does not have a sprawl they have keep their coding might be good. On the other hand my city of Menlo Park does have a sprawl issue nothing is walking distance. The members of Menlo Park have become dependent on cars to get anything. I believe that states should keep their power of controlling local government because if they give more power to the local governments then, the states are going to want to separate from the United States of America. I believe that people should go on smart grow, which I believe will be the new conflicts between state and local governments. Money is always the problem in any Federal, state, or local government everybody wants more why cant we just learn to share and be happy that we get anything to spend.
