One bit of irony I’ve faced while serving on the Hayward City Council is the fact that we have:

1) a Climate Action Plan

2) a Green Building Ordinance

…yet City of Hayward employees are still manually writing their time on timesheets!

Though I’ve protested often about such nonsense, imagine my surprise when last week a City of Hayward committee considered an ordinance that could require energy efficiency audits and retrofits when a home is sold!

Are we out of our minds? As if local real estate isn’t already suffering from too much regulation…
