Hi Barry and Darcy,

My family moved to Cupertino in 2003 for the known reason: small city and good schools.  Our kids grow up here.  This is our home and we want to continue to  live here after kids are gone.

I have never written any email to any publicly elected officials in my life, since i finally decided to become a citizen only last year after 2 decades.  It is time to have our voice heard.  Thank you for representing us, the Cupertino residents and making the right decision when voting no at the Valco project.  I want to let you know what you have done is noticed and appreciated.  You have our support now and in future.

I'm currently on business travel in Asia.  Your vote means a lot more to me now than ever: it would be the saddest thing to see Cupertino follows the steps of these overly congested cities such as shenzhen, Hong Kong and Taipei.  The more apartments built, the more people come in, the more expensive housing will be, then the faster appreciation of real estate attracts faster influx of population... vicious cycle.  It's hard to imagine now an average apartment in shenzhen is more expensive than our single family house in Cupertino.  However that's a city I will never consider living there.

Appreciation of real estate is good, but i prefer to qualify of life.  Most of residents want to continue to live in their current house vs taking profit selling them.  Our kids love Amc theater, the ice rink (used to be); we love  dim sum at the Denasty,  Gymboree, Victoria secret...Cupertino needs a place of its own that we can go to.  No,

valley fair can't replace valco, period.   800 more housing unit will make the already congested Stevens creek even worse...
Again those who vote for their conscience will be remembered. 
Thank you, Barry and Darcy!
Yue
