Subject:San Luis Ranch project
Hello and thank you for your service to the City,
I am writing in support of the San Luis Ranch Project. I moved to SLO a little over a year ago for a job at Cal
Poly that thankfully pays me well above the county's median income. Even with my income, it was incredibly
difficult to find an apartment to rent in town. I eventually found a small rental unit that allows me to ride my
bike to work and leave my car at home for the majority of errands.
I have fallen in love with SLO and want to stay. I have a great job, wonderful friends, and feel at home in the
community. Becoming a homeowner is an important life goal for me, as it is for many others. But I don't want
to have to move to North County or 5 Cities to do so. I want to continue to live AND work in SLO. I want to
ride my bike or take the bus to commute to work. I want to reduce my impact on the environment while
building equity in my home.
Bottom line: I want to make SLO my permanent home. Smart growth projects like San Luis Ranch will help me
do that. I strongly urge you to support this project.
