S. It should be done as intelligently as possible, of course, but oh my god yes!!! This is desperately <br />needed. <br />41 think all residents would benefit from this, especially if the land isn't being used for much. <br />Don't take over natural space but otherwise it should be used. It isn't clear if the city would be <br />the one building the housing and I don't think they should be. Alternatively the city could sell <br />this land with the stipulation that the developer build affordable housing on it. <br />5. Strongly support. IF the city had required that all of the market rate housing developed in <br />Redwood City ALSO included INCLUSIONARY AFFORDABLE HOUSING, at the time of <br />construction, then we would have less urgency to build it now on "City Land".I might point out, <br />too, that in the wording of this question's "OPPONENT'S VIEW, it states: city land is intended to <br />benefit all residents..:'and NOT THE COMPARATIVELY SMALL NUMBER THAT WOULD LIVE IN <br />AFFORDABLE HOUSING". That "comparatively small number" is growing by leaps and bounds in <br />this city. Just how comparatively small is it really, the current statistical percentage?[ can think <br />of no better use than affordable housing for city land. It may slow down the frightening rate of <br />gentrification this city is experiencing!We have dragged our feet on this issue. We saw it coming <br />years ago and took very little remedial action. All the while, it has increased to staggering <br />proportions. People move out of RWC because it has become the only survival option.USE CITY <br />LAND. What better, or more necessary, use for it is justifiable? <br />5 Build it. People need affordable housing. Distribute location of affordable housing across the <br />city. Also, make some moderate number of affordable units mandatory in new big apartment <br />complexes. <br />5 Educators, low-income adults, and low-income families would highly benefit from affordable <br />housing built on city land. <br />5. When a starter home costs $1M, it's time to do something. <br />4.1 would like to see a map of where this land is and I don't think all should be up for grabs for <br />affordable housing but I certainly support a portion being dedicated to this. <br />5 1 think we and should think about adding affordable units wherever possible. If we are <br />rebuilding a parking garage, why not some affordable units on the top floor. A new rec center <br />could have a few units on one side. Let's be creative to find ways of creating affordable housing. <br />5- that is our region's problem <br />
