Das, Siddhartha Extra Sheet <br />Supplemental Question 3. What do you think is the biggest issue facing San <br />Leandro residents, and what actions do you think the City can take immediately, <br />in the midterm (3-5 years), and the long term (10-20 years)? <br />I doubt whether there is one single biggest issue. I feel, depending on the stage in life, <br />different residents have different issues. However, on the whole in San Leandro, <br />especially in my District 1, we are seeing a large influx of young families, including <br />ourselves. Therefore, I would think one key issue would be places for families to walk to <br />and hang out, better educational institutes, child care and sports facilities. in 3-5 years, I <br />hope, the city would be able to build continuous, wide and well defined bike paths (like <br />the new one on Grand ave) and small businesses (such as small but nice well-stocked <br />grocery stores, restaurants, microbreweries, kid's daycare facilities) within 0.25-0.4 <br />miles walking (i.e. about 5-10 minutes walking) from any place. In the long term, having <br />(a) open fields like soccer fields with running tracks/path around, with adjacent <br />playgrounds, adjacent public swimming pools, (b) more schools, and (c) more nationally <br />regarded or city sponsored child care centers would be ideal. This will not only help the <br />kids, but also promote healthy and close community.
