COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Hello,
Writing to urge you to approve the Avila Ranch plan for additional affordable housing in San Luis Obispo. I am attracted to the
small cottages or the multi -family units ... medium to high density.
About me: I moved here from the Chicago suburbs 3 years ago. I am a professional working full time in SLO. While in Illinois
wages are higher, home prices are lower. I have been trying to find a condo or single family unit that is affordable for the last 2
years in SLO and nearby Morro Bay and Los Osos. With such a high demand, I have not won the bid. I have made 3 offers, only
to be outbid each time. While I wish I could go higher, I am not comfortable with a payment that exceeds 33% of my income.
I am also attracted the walkable community proposed for the Avila Ranch site and the proximity to my workplace.
Thank you for considering. There is a huge need for this development in SLO.
Kay
