COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Dear Planning Commission, -�--� °-�-R�---
I'm writing today to thank you for moving forward with affordable housing projects like the
proposed Avila Ranch.
I am married with 3 young kids, employed by the software company MINDBODY. I am paid
what amounts to a decent wage almost anywhere else in the state. But here, we are barely
scraping by, with most of our income going to rent. That gets us cramped quarters on a
busy street across from a motel.
In other words, for where we can afford to live, I do not feel safe letting my kids outside
alone. What kind of a childhood is that?
With the idea of the developer's lottery for purchases, I know I am not guaranteed to get
one of their homes. There are countless families like ours who are all clamoring for this
opportunity. But your approval of this project means we at least all have a chance.
Thank you,
Luke Thoene
