One of the District's major stated criteria in redrawing their Ward boundaries was to consider "community boundaries". They COULD have included ALL of the mountain and rural residents in one ward -- by putting all of them in their northernmost ward. Instead, they hatcheted the well-defined, cohesive Kings Mountain community right down its middle, along Tunitas Creek Road. (Kings Mountain is north Skyline, from Hwy.92 south to Bear Gulch and Allen Roads). Wonder why? Well, Kings Mountain is perhaps…

Currently, all of San Mateo County's rural lands are under the control of the county's Board of Supervisors -- NONE of whom have EVER lived in the rural areas of the county (at least, not in the last 80-100 years), and all but one of which in the last 30-50 years or more, didn't even live in the unincorporated…
