Subject: I support Avila Ranch Housing Development JUN 2 8 2017
Hello Planning Commission and City Council Members, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I am writing on behalf of my family to let you know that we support the Avila Ranch housing development in San
Luis Obispo. My family and I currently own a home in Los Osos. We often talk about how much we would love to
live (and own a home) in San Luis Obispo, but how far out of reach this goal is, based on the current market value of
homes in SLO City. It's no secret that the huge lack of housing inventory is leading to inflated housing prices in San
Luis Obispo city and the surrounding areas. We love living in Los Osos, but our dream is that someday we will be
able to afford to buy a home in sunny San Luis Obispo. We both work full-time in San Luis Obispo, in positions that
pay over the median income. However, our dreams of being able to buy a home in San Luis Obispo are far-fetched
without a drastic increase in housing inventory. I ask that you please support the Avila Ranch development at this
evening's Planning Commission meeting. I also ask that you please support other thoughtful housing developments,
like Avila Ranch, that are proposed in the future.
Sincerely,
Tommy, Kristen, Hannah & Holly Gentry
