Too many of the additions I've seen in RWC and elsewhere on the peninsula look like big <br />boxes, most likely in an effort to maximize square footage. Maintaining the character of a <br />neighborhood has more of a positive effect on increasing property values than an ugly boxy <br />increase in square footage. <br />4 no more than double and have off street parking in accordance with house size <br />41 support some level of restriction on size and impact on neighboring properties.Redwood <br />City's infrastructure does not support higher density. We don't want to be crowded in to <br />every little corner just so developers can make a buck and move on. But times change and <br />many people prioritize interior space over outdoor space more than in the past. Residents <br />should be able to build the house they want <br />5. 1 am concerned mostly about privacy. Also, need proof that such zoning restrictions would <br />limit housing growth. <br />5 support strongly. Trees are disapearing. Theres no privacy. People add on w no aesthetic <br />appeal..... its aweful <br />4 while I think the newer homes help property values I think when too big on the smaller lots <br />it feels like they are taking over. <br />5 Homes should fit existing environment. Foot print should be the same. <br />In opposition: <br />R2 1. 1 can't even believe this is a survey! We have a housing crisis, and we need to bring more <br />young families to Redwood City.You use an emotive term "McMansion" which doesn't <br />describe the debate. This is about property rights and sensible development.We have <br />enough with the fact that some local schools are closing down because school rolls are <br />falling.Most people we know didn't choose to buy a house here so that neighbors with a <br />nostalgic view of Redwood City when it was a collection of cheaply -built vacation cottages <br />can dictate what we can or we can't do with our own properties ... <br />+11 1. We need homes that meet the needs of families, not just tiny homes built in the inter- <br />war years that were mostly put up cheaply, have little or no architectural value and don't <br />reflect the housing needs of this region. Sensible regulations need to allow people to keep <br />their small homes if they wish, not to force our neighborhoods to stagnate. <br />
