I enjoy an occasional Taco Bell, but in the same shopping center as Happy Taco with far better,Read More authentic LOCAL Mexican food! Nah! I do enjoy the Combo locations that have KFC & TACO BELL. (Face it, Americans like to have choices!). With no drive-through, perhaps it will be better than the average suburban stores along the El Camino. As for another chain restaurant in Half Moon Bay...What did you expect? Demographics will continue to dictate that we can still expect to keep our "Fast-Food-Free-Zone" between Linda Mar and HMB while "City Councils or Planning Departments in the Cities will attract them....for their tax base.

Seriously? Taco Bell? Next to New Leaf? How did this happen? Not happy about this addition and notRead More looking forward to seeing Taco Bell trash all over the place. Not sure about KFC ... we already have a fast food chicken place at Popeyes so we certainly don't need another. The high school students will probably frequent Taco Bell the most and keep it in business but I will not be going there that's for sure.

I'm not particularly thrilled with yet another big corporate fast food store in HMB. I'm not a realRead More Taco Bell fan either, but I have noticed that Taco Bell and KFC are one in the same at many locations. I'm wondering if that will be the case here. Will this store include KFC? Anyone know?

To be honest I would probably just let my dog run around without a leash anyway, except there's soRead More much darned poison oak around these hills. I don't want her to get contaminated and then I hug her and trouble ensues.

I don't own a dog now but empathize with the dog owners who have been deprived of the right toRead More allow their dogs to run free in the national recreation area that we as taxpayers own. As a taxpayer, I want to know the rationale for this policy. If it is to protect horses from being frightened by dogs what is the basis for that? How many horses use the open space? It appears that dozens of people who have been able to enjoy walking with their dogs in the open space adjoining their neighborhood are now being grossly inconvenienced because some faceless bureaucrats are creating rules that may have no basis in reality.

Most dogs and horses can get along fine, if they have the opportunity to be socialized to eachRead More other. If dogs never get to see horses, or vice versa, then there is a startle/fear response, and each will respond according to its temperament. Remove all opportunities for this socialization, as GGNRA wants to do, and there will be more problems. Apparently GGNRA has even ordered stable owners not to allow equestrians to bring their dogs to the stable any more, which is grossly unfair to all concerned. GGNRA just hates dogs, and their policies have been written accordingly. It is unfathomable that here on the Coastside, surrounded by miles of open space, there is no legal area except one small dog park, for dog owners to walk with their companions off leash. Horses, bicycles and people have full access, but dog owners very limited access, and no access for off leash exercising. Rancho territory is 6 1/2 square miles. Surely there is enough room for all recreation! It's our tax money, too, but we're being denied use of the space we own.
