Making us start over is the plan to wear us down. Free press is paid for by advertisers, and…Read More pressure is put out to stifle stories. That's what the tobacco industry did to 60 Minutes, and the Isreli government did to the Goldberg Report. The United Nations couldn't put out the story of mass genocide of the Palestinian people, and we'll be kicked off the blog soon because we don't advertise.

It won't even let you edit thoughts into smaller blocks or comment directly to another post. It is the ultimate dumbing down of Patch.

Peter I am not sure which group you are referring to. I belong to Novato Community Alliance and…Read More Novato Homeowners Association. Both are grassroots groups working with local government to ask much needed questions regarding Plan Bay Area. Your comments are reminiscent of a previous poster named Bud Lite who was engaged in heated exchanges. Since his name continued to evolve it was only his message that made him recognizable. No one can give you the world but NCA and NHA are both resources that can provide information and discussion of important local issues.

BH The comments are not the issue, it is the inability to organize the information so a reader can…Read More quickly scan the front page for new news and then retrieve articles on issues that are of interest. Even the edit features of the old Patch are gone. You can't break up a thought into smaller bytes. You can't spell check and so on. Patch was already changed twice but the previous versions kept the organization and content features. This new Patch is really more of an Ad fest and a Soapbox. That being said, anyone that wants to read about or engage in discussions of Plan Bay Area, here is a link to the Blog. http://novato.patch.com/blogs/the-potential-effects-of-plan-bay-area-on-novato- When you hit the blog page you will see boxes underneath. Each box represents a new article on the same subject. Perhaps other Patch loyalists can also set up blogs on issues that are meaningful to them. We could have a Fairfield/Wyndover Blog, a City Council Blog, a Redwood Corridor Blog and so on. Anyone that has an interest in any subject can set up a blog and title it so that they can post new articles and information about that subject. It doesn't matter if we have multiple blogs on the same subjects as long as we can find them. The other approach is to hound the editor about the lack of organization and ask them to put back in features that would allow a Patch user to easily find any blogs or articles that are about issues of concern. Brent did this for Novato which is why we had both a NUSD school blog and a Charter school blog.

I think I'm a victim of elder abuse. I've worked hard all my live, amassed enough to get me by, but…Read More now find my resources being sucked dry by some non working parasites that seem to be imune to all attempts to rid them.They've got the neighbors on their side, the support of the city council, and the cops are powerless to do anything about it as long as the courts refuse to take the situation seriously. They're holed up in a crack house across from 7-11 on Diablo, and although the cops bust them daily, they've been able to keep their address off the news and police reports. Anyone who opposes them is called a racist redneck and harrassed for not being more caring of the less fortunate, but they don't do anything to support themselves as it's too easy to steal my money. Most of them have crimminal records, guns, drugs, and fatherless children, and are soaking up my resources to the point of banckruptcy. The local high scools keep suspending them, but they just keep comming back. They hang out begging on every street corner, break into cars, get drunk in public, and spend my tax dollars getting high. Can anyone help me?
