Priorities for Half Moon Bay

Expanding access to urgent and emergency healthcare is one of Robert Brownstone’s top priorities. He supports improving the healthcare resources available to Coastside residents so people can receive timely care closer to home.

Robert sees continued coordination with healthcare providers, county partners, and community organizations as an important part of improving access and making sure Coastside needs are represented.

Robert supports a proactive approach to fire, flood, storm, earthquake, and power-outage preparedness.

His priorities include improving drainage and water-flow infrastructure, maintaining creek areas affected by blockages and silt buildup, and preparing emergency permits in advance of major storms. He also supports continued coordination with PG&E and Cal Fire on tree trimming, fire-risk reduction, and education around home hardening.

Robert also supports Half Moon Bay’s neighborhood CERT programs and the role they play in helping residents prepare to shelter in place during earthquakes and prolonged emergencies.

Robert supports housing solutions that respond to local needs while preserving Half Moon Bay’s small-town character.

During his time on the City Council, he has worked with affordable-housing partners including Mercy Housing and MidPen Housing and supported housing opportunities connected to Metzger and 555 Kelly. 

He also supports continued collaboration with affordable-housing builders and oversight agencies to help the city meet its housing goals while maintaining thoughtful design and planning.
