Your article picturing happy faces ready to impose a YMCA commercial facility deep into the Hemme neighborhood illustrates the selfishness of a few YMCA supporters in Alamo. The Mt. Diablo Region YMCA site, www.mdrymca.org, has previously published that only 7% of Alamo residents support the construction and operations of YMCA commercial facilities in the Hemme neighborhood. In polling over the past 3 years, 76% of Alamo residents will actively support opposition efforts to such commercial construction and >83% would vote against the construction if it were a matter for election.

This is a selfish and abusive effort by the county, Danville, MDRYMCA and a handful in Alamo. The MDRYMCA and its handful of Alamo supporters even want Alamo parcel tax appropriations to support this neighborhood abuse.

Alamo neighborhoods have focused on this abuse in proposing formation of the City of Alamo so appropriate and thorough review, even elections, can be pursued. No incorporation by any group should avoid Alamo's majority opposition to SRV YMCA commercial facilities in the Hemme neighborhood.
