Will the City Council please table this item and publish the details of the "well-defined methodologies responsive to the City’s needs"?
Do "the City’s needs" include destroying the local wildlife and environment stewards? Can the city please find out why it will not approve any bid by a company owned and founded by women only?
Except for Koning Eizenberg Architecture, Inc. founded by Hank Koning and Julie Eizenberg, the list is nothing but male masterminds. To paraphrase Previn Karian, "Fascism is the use of the male psyche, and the male mind, where state and governmental institutional violence is acted out on mass populations. Why does the male brain have a psychological need to use and set up institutions in a way that violates, humiliates, and destroys other people, if it has to, for the protection of a few?" https://youtu.be/qyyU-JSsgE0
We have already seen the devastation proposed by James Miner, CEO at Sasaki Associates, Inc. already scheduled to clear-cut Memorial Park and destroy the hawk habitat there, while polluting the air for neighbors, for who knows how long. How many elders and babies will die for them? Have to wonder why a beach town would choose Louis Skidmore, Nathaniel Owings, John O. Merrill, notable for skyscraper design and construction, including several of the world's tallest buildings.
Has anyone researched how the rest of the "male brain" carriers would also succumb to being motivated by money to engage in a project where "governmental institutional violence is acted out on mass populations" including the local elders, babies, wildlife, and environment stewards?
