最近在XHS上看到一个Sunnyvale的新闻 链接:https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/south-bay/sunnyvale-developer-hunger-strike/3154698/
一个叫Aron的开发商在北Sunnyvale开发了一个新的townhouse楼盘(离新开的Magic bridge不远,路过时发现水泥地基已经完工了)
因为是在Superfund的上面,所以county有一些特殊的环保要求,比如说要要用vapor barrier隔绝受到污染的土壤
然后这个开发商没有拿到County关于这方面的许可就强行开工,City发现后叫停了施工,说必须等拿到许可才能开工
这个开发商就在Sunnyvale city hall搞绝食,已经第八天了(从视频里看不像是饿了八天的样子)真是绝了
Aron解释是vapor barrier已经安好了,只是没有拿到approval(有点像上学时没带作业说没写。。。)到底有没有装只有他自己知道了
我也是不搞工程的,不知道这个vapor barrier是不是要放在土地和地基之间导致现在已经无法检查了?项目delay应该是很常见的吧 无法想象一个builder为了这个事在city hall 一哭二闹三上吊的
作为Sunnyvale居民还是要给City点赞,想必City受到的压力也不小,但(目前)没有因为builder的压力而妥协,一直维持这种高标准才能让大家放心在Sunnyvale安居乐业
大家也可以发邮件给City支持他们或者发表自己的想法,看新闻周二就要决定是不是move forward了,这是邮件链接:https://sunnyvale.dynamics365portals.us/contact-us/
Concile (mayor include)
然后对这个楼盘感兴趣的同学也注意了,看看builder都是什么样的
最后附上我的信和City的回复,ChatGPT yyds~

Description: Dear Mayor Klein,
I am writing to express my support for your recent decision regarding the Sunnyvale project from Aron Home(https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/ ... ger-strike/3154698/). I would like to thank you for putting the health and safety of Sunnyvale residents as your top priority, especially in light of the recent hunger strike protest from Aron.
It is commendable that you have taken a stance against any compromise that could potentially put the lives of the residents and the community in danger. The health and safety of our residents should always be the top priority, and your commitment to this principle is greatly appreciated.
I was pleased to hear that you are not considering any proposal from Aron Home that would result in the omission of the vapor sheet. The vapor sheet is an important aspect of the project, as it helps to mitigate any health risks associated with potential toxins in the soil. I understand that Aron Home is putting pressure on the city to approve the project without the installation of this sheet, but I wholeheartedly support your decision to prioritize the health and safety of our residents.
I would like to express my gratitude for your leadership and your dedication to ensuring that Sunnyvale remains a safe and healthy place for all its residents. Your unwavering commitment to these values is a testament to your strong leadership, and I am proud to be a resident of Sunnyvale under your guidance.
Thank you once again for your tireless efforts to keep Sunnyvale a safe and healthy community. I fully support your decision on the Aron Home project and I will continue to stand behind you in all your efforts to make Sunnyvale a better place for everyone.
Sincerely,
***
City的回信:
Dear **,
Thank you for your email regarding the Aron Place development. While I wish Council could claim credit for the outcome here, really this was the work of our excellent city staff, who handled a highly unusual situation with grace and professionalism.
That said, I agree with your assessment completely. Given the number of contaminated sites from the old chipfabs in northeast Sunnyvale, any compromise on the safety of the vapor barrier would in my opinion be completely unacceptable. It is a developer's responsibility to understand and follow the rules. They should not expect leniency when they fail to do so—especially when such leniency would threaten the health and safety of our current or future residents.
Thank you again for writing!
Sincerely,
Richard Mehlinger |
