Why City Place is not being served well






City Place Santa Clara

215 Acres
Space:5.2 million square feet of retail/entertainment, restaurant, office, hotel, and residential uses
Number of Stories:Varies, 1-9
Number of Parking:15,000
Occupancy Date:To Be Determined
Project Description:Across from the Levi's Stadium, City Place Santa Clara is a proposed $3.5 billion mixed-use, transit-oriented development that would include more than 5.2 million square feet of retail, entertainment, restaurant, hotel and office space
 
 
Santa Clara's Future??
 
 
 
Billion Dollar Project for the City of Santa Clara
 
 
 
But it is getting ill served......
 
 
Voters nearby voted against three of the best supporters of the project
 
 
A Negative mailer was launched against
 candidates running for City Council
 
 
 
Who Paid for the Attack??
 
 
Check the 460s for Candidate LaCoursiere
 
 
After spend over 2,000 dollars to support LaCoursiere
 
4 executives from Related wound up spending money against proponents of their own project?
 
 
why??
 
 
 
Instead of sharing with the public how they intend to support community actions for the project,
City of Santa Clara's Project Manager for the Project deleted the emails from the Political Heavyweight assigned to the project
 
 
 
Isn't he supposed to direct community support for Related??  But, he seems to be helping mailers against Related's supporters
 
2000 dollars for LaCoursiere????
 
She came in third!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Kevin Park who is opposed to development on the Northside came in second




 
 This is what Kevin Park had to say about the City Place project, as well as all high density projects


"... helped put together a phased plan that was supposed to address the issues of growth, only to see project after project fail to follow that plan and bring more traffic, parking, and livability issues.  It’s not about density; it’s about proper planning, and then following that plan."


That's right




Instead of helping Related, the negative attack against Related allies almost caused their defeat

Why???

Is this good community consulting??
