o I support Workforce Housing
Dear City Council:
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!
o I support agricultural heritage:
I urge you to support the San Luis Ranch project because it will provide a great value to the
city by creating a working farm, agricultural education center and the first “Agrihood” on the
California Coast. The history of San Luis Obispo is rooted in Agriculture and this project will
make sure to teach our kids that it’s important for our future. The education center will be an
important place for our kids to visit on fieldtrips and with their families. It will give them a
hands-on experience that is not available anywhere else in our city.
o I support communities who focus on multi-modal transportation:
I urge you to support the San Luis Ranch project because it will focus on multi-modal
transportation. This project will easily connect to bike/pedestrian/public transportation and job
centers which will reduce traffic in the area. This will also help facilitate the completion of the
Prado connection, which the city has needed long before this project came to exist. This
community will be walkable and bike-oriented and will include abundant open space, which
many people value in this area.
