I still feel very strongly about these points and I urge you to support the project. Even if I can't afford this housing once it is built, it may still drive down the incredible rental prices that landlords are able to charge because of the high demand for housing. SLO NEEDS MORE HOUSING, and this project seems like a good fit for our community for many reasons. Again, I urge you to please support this project. Kari Applegate, MEd From: Kari Ann Applegate < Sent: Monday, May 22, 2017 4:04 PM To: advisorybodies@slocity.org Subject: I support Workforce Housing Dear Planning Commission: RECEIVED CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO JUN 0 6 2017 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT I urge you to support the San Luis Ranch project because if you work here, you should be able to live here. We are losing great young professionals and families, not only to neighboring cities, but to other parts of the country. If we want our business to continue to thrive, they need access to wonderful employees, who need to be able to afford homes. The diverse range of affordable and workforce housing can begin to put a dent in the supply we so desperately need! I am one of those young professionals. I am a 36 -year-old early childhood educator with a masters degree in education. I live with roommates. It's not my ideal situation but it's what I can afford, even in the rental market, here in this town that I've called home for over 15 years. I have more stories to share from others like me Wednesday night who can't make the meeting because of work obligations or child care concerns. See you Wednesday! Sincerely, Kari Applegate
