Hello,
I am a local resident of SLO and I am in support of building more housing downtown. We need housing. Not enough has
been done to keep up with demand and the working people who make our city what it is are suffering for it, me
included. Buying a house is impossible these days and renting is often more expensive than a mortgage. With historically
low wages, inflation, chronic debt, and increasing rates of homelessness in our town, we must move towards a better
future with a larger market for housing. These are the signs of a structural failure in our housing policy in SLO and this is
our opportunity to start solving our housing problems, not running from them. Please build more housing downtown, it
is not only needed, but it is popular! If we want to grow as a city, we must stop prioritizing things like parking and single
family homes over the needs of our most disadvantaged citizens. Please Create more housing and help build a healthy
housing market and walkable communities for all.
My name is Delaney Ginn, I live on Vista Del Lago, and was a former renter downtown, and I urge you to support the
Downtown density project.
Thank you.
