Re the Candidates Forum: Re Mr. Matthews’ comment about wanting to “maintain Santa Clara’s small town feel.” Since when does a city of 116k+ have a small town feel? We lost that feel a long time ago and now even more so with all the building and wanton disregard for how the city will deal with the additional traffic, lack of parking and general infrastructure. That ‘small town’ feeling is gone and I’m afraid it isn’t coming back.
