5 - Low income, native to Redwood City families are being pushed out of Redwood City. There is <br />only a comparatively small number of people who would live in a new affordable development <br />because so much wealth has moved into the city in the past 5 years. Less than 10 years ago, <br />Redwood City was an affordable place to live. However, with the city's development and the <br />tech industry moving in, reasonably priced housing has become scarce which has in turn <br />pushed most low income people out. With affordable housing built on city land, low income <br />families could return to Redwood City. <br />S. Absolutely. But mindful of course of the environmental laws and impact. In other words, not <br />just any old land, and certainly not the Salt Flats.. <br />4:1 think affordable housing is of paramount importance but would need to understand what <br />city land was being used /what would be lost to all residents. Although some sacrifice is <br />merited in order to provide housing for citizens vital to our community (teachers, city <br />employees, restaurant employees, etc). <br />5 Yes there is enough land to go around. For city projects and homelessness is a very big <br />problem. Your loosing people that have grown up here and had family here because their <br />children will not be able to grow here and live here <br />5 so long as they're big housing complexes that actually make a dent in the problem <br />5 This is a good idea if the process is managed thoughtfully and openly with the support of <br />residents. <br />5 - Caveat: Affordable housing should be distributed among other housing rather than <br />concentrated in undesirable pockets. <br />5 Not on parkland though. <br />S. We need more housing period. <br />5. Building affordable housing does help everyone. <br />5 but not parklands <br />
