The Los Pueblecitos campaign web site is now online; 95% of the city would be public lands
The official Web site of the Los Pueblecitos campaign (the Rural Lands Incorporation Now Committee) is now up and running. There’s a ton of information for supporters and opponents on the site, including a summary page with the first decent maps of the proposed new city and the sources of $9.96 million in mitigation revenue from county, state, federal, Peninsula Open Space Trust, and San Francisco watershed lands. There’s a demographics page that doesn’t include any information about people, and a Resources page that is kind of a dump for every conceivable document. The links aren’t organized, dated, or sourced, but at least they’re all in one place. Oh, and there’s a link to Coastsider in the menu as well.
One notable fact is that 95% of the land in LP would be owned by governments or land trusts and less than 5% would be in private hands. Another is that Los Pueblecitos would occupy 35% of San Mateo county.
I’m going to be mining this site for information and I suspect others will as well.
