Noted the long history of waterfront efforts and suggested re-envisioning the marina for modern resilience and connectivity challenges.

Urged the council to move on from the Cal-Coast deal, noting severe soil liquefaction and flooding issues at the marina.

Questioned what the city's Plan B is if the project is scrapped, warning that finding a new developer could take decades.

Stated that sea level rise makes coastal development impossible and urged focusing development inland.
