Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I am writing in support of the Avila Ranch San Luis Obispo housing project.
The quality of life that we enjoy in San Luis Obispo and surrounding areas is unsurpassed. The weather, the amazing
beauty, and access to outdoor experiences from mountains to the shore, provide the perfect setting for an idyllic,
healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, access to this community is becoming difficult to achieve because of the high cost of
housing. New construction has not kept up with the demand of a growing workforce, resulting in rising housing costs
which have moved home ownership beyond the reach of many young professionals and families who work in our
community. The Avila Ranch project will help alleviate this situation, providing housing for members of our local
workforce. A diverse inclusive community made up of individuals and families of all ages and walks of life make San
Luis Obispo a vibrant and "happy" place to live, and benefits us all. I urge you to support this project.
Sincerely,
Diane Clausen
