Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.

What's with the ads blocking out the posts? I know you gotta pay the bills, but don't throw out theRead More baby with the bath water.

I notice that many of the opponents to affordable housing have been blocked. I know some people whoRead More post with a nome de plueme to hide their identity cannot get on the Patch anymore. The reason they do this is because they fear the kind of reprisal I got when the developers' mouthpiece looked up my financial history and posted it on the Internet. I personally have nothing to hide, but this is about free speech, and it's sad that the patch has sold out to the developers. The cops are at Wyndover daily, but you'll never see another story about it either. Too bad. Control the press, control the people.

So far, I'm not loving this new site.
Craig Belfor May 18, 2013 at 02:54 pm
We got sold down the river by the developers. Under the guise of a new improved format, they justRead More erased our history. Now we have to start defending our town all over again, while they are already in gear. Some of the opponants of AH can't get on anymore. Brent would not have allowed this to happen. Maybe that's why he left so suddenly, and unexpectedly.
Roger May 18, 2013 at 10:15 am
I agree with you Tina that the new format sucks. I can't find any recent articles on affordableRead More housing or N. Redwood development.

Has anyone been able to find previous posts on articles or to access articles in which there wereRead More ongoing discussions? So far this new Patch has primarily increased Ad space. I was reading an article by Bob Silvestri on Mill Valley Patch and smack in the middle of the article was an add for other articles. Has Patch lost its mind? Was it taken over by cyber terrorists intent on making it indecipherable? Did anyone receive a warning that all previous content would be erased? What a shame to lose a vehicle in which local residents can discuss local issues.

Peter I am not sure which group you are referring to. I belong to Novato Community Alliance andRead 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.
Peter May 17, 2013 at 11:28 am
Hello, It took our groups letters to get the change as we do not want to read someones garbageRead More that takes twenty posts to say one thing . I have never had a heated exchange with you but I can tell you I was sick of reading your garbage like a lot of other people were. You and your group promised the world, told it the only way you wanted the outcome to be and got caught by the real people of Novato
Tina McMillan May 17, 2013 at 08:45 am
Peter aka Bud Lite Welcome back. Its good to know some things never change, like folks that trollRead More for a heated exchange.
Joe May 17, 2013 at 02:16 pm
They will cry and complain on the computer all day and night . The will do everything to get theirRead More way except what counts . Get Involved,Run for the office or shut up .
Novato Chess Club May 17, 2013 at 02:02 pm
I like the fact we have a voice; it will improve. Go Novato, and the active citizens
Joe May 17, 2013 at 01:05 pm
Dugan, So sad you did not get your way . We know are going to have honest opinions which will notRead More include yours . Life goes on with or without your opinion. This is a better Patch and the only people with sour grapes is you and your bunch
Tracey Ruiz May 15, 2013 at 10:55 am
We had a story yesterday on Novato Patch with very lively discussion. Unfortunately it didn'tRead More migrate over with the new format. I'm hoping it will pop up soon.
