FIVE STARS GOES TO PORTOLA VALLEY'S COUNCIL FOR THEIR WISDOM!!! The bay belongs to the creatures that call it home, and to all of us. The Cargill project must not be built based on the greed of those who would profit from it.

At a time when thousands of people are *still* commuting into local jobs from as far away as Modesto and Stockton, spewing who knows how much car exhaust and wasting precious natural resources (most notably Time, the most precious and finite resource any of us have) the myopia of a good many "environmentalists" is stupefying.
To say nothing of how many critters were displaced by development out in the remote San Joaquin Valley, rather than here in an already urbanized area.
In short, fill in the swamps, let another Foster City bloom, and give your children (and by extension your granchildren) a chance to live near you, rather than many miles away.
