None of us can even believe this area was put on the table for consideration!  Not only because it was successfully vetoed a number of years ago, and the land deemed not viable, but because

It is sandwiched between TWO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS  -directly across the street from one, and directly across the street from a library, and down the street from a middle school; it is across the street from a day care;  It is on sacred land locals/visitors very much consider a part of the cherished perc pond walking trail with such an abundance of wild life!  I understand on paper, some land is owned by Valley Water and some by City of San Jose..   but for the people who actually walk there, those borders are invisible:  it is in fact one beautiful, sanctuary, for egrets, herons, mallards, cormorants, coots, turkey vultures, kites, turtles, frogs, fish, lizards,  -a large amount and variety of wild life; indigenous, migratory   -this landscape is sensitive 

So let me bullet point here the reasons one more time why Tiny Homes near these sensitive locations is a very bad, utterly irresponsible, potentially negligent, possibly illegal idea:

1.  It was already successfully vetoed and found not viable. And should have never been put back on the table for consideration

2.  It is directly across the street from Noble Elementary School.

3. It is directly across the street from Noble Library

4.  It is across the street from a day care center

5.  It is very near Toyon Elementary

6.  It is down the street from Piedmont Middle School

7.  It is land that has been and is, a popular park, walking trail for countless neighbors, families, and a sanctuary for a wide variety of wild life; indigenous; migratory   #NOTonNOBLE in the search bar of this blog.

We cannot believe, that with 7 very valid, serious strikes against it  

that a more suitable place cannot be found.   We strongly believe and are most willing to contribute toward helping find a more suitable location.

You can see over 1.000 people have already signed a petition against this..    and that number will only be growing as awareness is created.

The underhanded way there was a conscious effort to deny the neighborhood a chance to veto..

hideous.
