Dear City Council Members:
REC
SLO CITY CLERK
Robert and I are writing to each of you to show our support for the acquisition by the City of San Luis Obispo of the 89
acres known as the Goldtree Vineyard Tract for open space. We understand that this will be on the agenda for Tuesday
evening.
What we love about San Luis Obispo is the open space and the view of the hills. This is paradise, but it is because we
can see it. Los Angeles used to be paradise when my parents were young in the early 1940s, but it is now one huge
sprawling city, with wide freeways and tracts of houses on all the hills. We thank past City Councils of San Luis Obispo
for the vision and foresight to set aside open space. Please continue with this effort!
We hear that the land is available to the city at a good price, and we hope that you will take advantage of this offer and
purchase the land as open space for all of us and for those who come after us, so that we and the generations to come
can enjoy the beauty of this place. Even with the buildings, roads, wires, and all the things that separate us from truly
enjoying the reality that we ourselves are part of nature, we remember that we are when we see the band of open space
that lets us feel the breeze, watch the grasses dance, breathe deeply, and relax.
Thank you sincerely,
Adrienne and Robert Dickinson
