I enjoy seeing customers at other places when I’m out shopping. People here are very friendly. People in Kenwood where I grew up are a bit more closed. The Springs are lively and active. I like Sonoma. - Name Withheld
I’m happy with our opening. I grew up in the Springs. The neighborhood has always been changing. I wish the neighborhood was more of a community. We need more foot traffic, more infrastructure, so you don’t have to use a car. People drive too fast along here. Drop in for a hamburger (and a beer – Sonoma Springs, “We keep it local!”) - Garrett Sathre, Hamburger West
It’s been 5-6 weeks sinceI registered a complaint with Sonoma County about the tire buster potholes, and general roughness of the streets. This is especially true of East Thompson and Calle del Monte. Drivers must weave, dodge, and hold on to their hats simply to go from one corner to the next.

TOWN HALL SERIES
Discuss May 16
Explore: June 20
  highway! – Nanda Daungel
   Increasing housing prices and constrained housing supply are challenges facing
the City of Sonoma along with other Bay Area and surrounding Sonoma County communities. Based on increasing concern over this imbalance, the City Council
contracted with UrbanGreen Inc. to develop a community education and engagement program for members of the community to take part in a robust and informed conversation on housing in the City of Sonoma.
The series is composed of three Town Halls around a theme of Learn | Discuss | Explore. The first Town Hall, Housing 101 was held on April 25, followed by a Housing Experts Panel, on May 16, 2019 and the third and final meeting of the series, an Interactive Community Workshop on June 20, 2019.
All Town Halls begin at 6 PM and take place in Stone Hall at the Vintage House Senior Center located at 264 First Street East in Sonoma. The City strongly encourages participants to attend all three forums, as the concepts, definitions and conversations build on one another.
Light refreshments and childcare for school-age children will be provided so everyone can participate. The Town Halls will be recorded by Sonoma Valley Community Television and made available on the City’s web site and via Channel 27 for viewing after the events.
Visit the Housing Our Community webpage for detailed description of each of the three Town Halls and to take our online SURVEY of 5 simple questions.
