I see a lot of empty large commercial buildings . . . We can't all work for the city government or the county.

Permit fees will total over five million dollars. Can they get approval from the city? Duhhh. Nope. My family is still in SR but I can't live in a city run by people that are hostile to business, have never had to employ people, never risked their own personal assets to keep a business going. You Santa Rosans voted for these idiots. Will you be smart enough to vote them out. I have a relative that’s been trying to get a large commercial housing project built for 4 years in Santa Rosa.

Lots of bureaucracy and NO game plan. You would expect more of officials and business leaders in this area. Depressing. Lots of bureaucracy and NO game plan.
