Subject: Support of San Luis Ranch
Below is my letter in support of San Luis Ranch from the 5/24 Planning Commission meeting. 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.

I support Workforce Housing
Dear Planning Commission:
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. We need more housing, period. Please support this project!
Sincerely,
Kari Applegate
