Dear SLO Architectural Review Commission: Patricia Andreen, Ken Curtis, Suzan Ehdaie, Amy Nemcik, Allen
Root, Angela Soll, and Greg Wynn:
This letter is in support of South Town 18 and Laurel Lane Mixed Use in San Luis Obispo.
After reviewing the project documents in detail, I have completely familiarized myself with these proposals and
believe they are going to be significant assets to their neighborhoods and the City of SLO.
As you know we are in a huge housing crisis that is at such dangerous levels, it is literally turning away
businesses and individual people from SLO.
I am a recent alumni of Cal Poly and have made the commitment to live & work here. Unfortunately, most of
my friends who wished they could stay weren't able to due to how unaffordable it is to stay here.
Regarding the projects, we couldn't have been luckier with the beautiful proposals we are getting. Both of them
are architecturally interesting, appropriate for their neighborhoods, and more importantly dozens and dozens of
people will be able to call San Luis Obispo home.
In such a housing crisis, projects as noble as these should be embraced, expedited, and celebrated.
Best,
M. Farid Shahid
