OK, maybe this is snarky, but I just got my Utilities bill and inside it is an insert, one side of which is about the Cubberley Community Center Project. Here I quote from that insert: “City Council Vision Statement: A vibrant and beloved destination with activities, amenities, and offerings that promote learning, joy, and wellbeing where all cultures and generations belong.”
If this really came from
the members of the City Council, and if you really approved the wording of this ‘vision statement’, then I think you have gone off the deep end with the use of beloved to describe this future ‘destination’.
OK, and maybe I have overused quotes above.
But really - beloved?
Look up the definition. Consider its most common uses by everyday citizens of CoPA.
Cubberley is never going to be beloved. And deciding that the Council can define much less
actually cause to come into fruition … a place of joy, wellbeing, where all cultures and generations belong … is in my humble opinion full of hubris.
Please, focus on running the city more efficiently. Address our real problems and priorities.
Don’t try to make Cubberley beloved.
Sincerely,
-carl jones
