What will the defeat of Measures A, B, C do to Cupertino? ABC提案被否決後,對庫市有什麼影響?
Measures A, B, C were carefully designed to restrict high-rise development in Cupertino while allowing healthy, sensible growth. Without these measures, helter-skelter building of high-density units will continue without regard to sound town planning. As many as 3,000 units were approved during the past three years. This means some 10,000 new residents will compete for our overburdened schools and further strain our traffic.
ABC提案是為了確保庫市合理的成長,限制密集式公寓大廈的興建而精心設計的. 少了這層法律的約束, 巨無霸公寓大廈的興建,照樣會由市議會草率地決定,毫不考量現有的城市規劃.過去三年中已有三千個住宅單位被庫市政府批准, 這意味著將有一萬名新市民與原有的居民,在已超收學生的學校裡拼成績, 在大排長龍的馬路上搶行道權.

Why did Measures A, B, C fail? 為何ABC提案遭到否決?
Outside developers poured more than $200,000 into a skillful disinformation campaign with the help of local forces including Councilwoman Kris Wang. At the last minute, many voters were tricked into thinking that voting “NO” on A, B, C would save Cupertino and its schools. Unfortunately, the citizen groups who proposed Measures A, B, C did not have the money and facilities to fight back. That is the real reason Measures A,B,C were narrowly defeated.
由於外來開發商投下二十萬資金輔選,專門製造假消息愚弄百姓.加上市議員胡宜蘭接二連三的廣告文宣, 刻意誤導選民, 讓許多人在投票時,還以為自己投了NO,就能拯救庫市的學校.遺憾的是ABC 提案團體沒有經費刊登廣告,駁斥反對派的謬論,只能送電子郵件及打電話來告知庫市市民.其效果有限,以致於ABC提案遭到否決.

Will our schools be hurt after Measures A, B,C failed?
聽說ABC提案被否決後,會損害我們學校的品質,是真的嗎?
Absolutely Yes! Due to excessive high density building by greedy developers, our excellent schools will suffer even more overcrowding and under-funding under state funding rules. School boundaries may need to be re-drawn because of developer-fueled overdevelopment.
絕對有損害! ABC提案遭否決後,開發商可以空前的速度在庫市大興土木,我們的學校會變得更加擁擠,而且教育經費將會更加短缺,學區重劃將無法避免.

How will the defeat of Measures A, B, C affect high-tech employers in Cupertino?
ABC提案遭否決後, 對庫市高科技公司有什麼影響?
With the defeat of Measures A, B, C, commercial real estate in Cupertino becomes more valuable for high-density building. This encourages high-tech companies and commercial landlords to sell out and move elsewhere.
少了ABC提案的阻礙,庫市的商業用地改建成密集式公寓大廈可不受約束,將獲得更高的利潤. ABC提案遭否決後, 反而鼓勵高科技公司賣地搬走.

What can I do to save Cupertino now? 現在我能做些什麼來拯救庫市?
First, everyone needs to watch the actions of the City council and administration - without our constant attention and pressure; the City will allow rampant overdevelopment by outside speculators. Warn your friends and neighbors that many print media reports on this issue (especially in the Mercury news) have been and will be biased, incomplete and misleading. Second, Concerned Citizens of Cupertino (CCC) will move forward with further action to protect our beautiful city from ruthless outsiders. Please visit CCCs website at: http://www.cupertino.cc
