cross it to get to downtown. <br />It is VERY significant that the planning commission (known for approving almost anything, unlike that of <br />other cities around us) said NO to this development, and that there are significant and serious obstacles to this <br />development cited in required reports. One does wonder why the previous Council approved this development <br />in light of the above information... Actually, it isn't just this one who is wondering; many, many Redwood <br />City citizens are wondering this as well. And many of them voted for a new Council in the last election— <br />which I hope and believe we did achieve. <br />I realize how strident I sound, and this is a reflection of the frustration so many of us have felt for years now. <br />We know that we have not been listened to or even considered, as the many developments were approved and <br />built. The apartments that have been built are clearly not for middle class citizens or those who need even more <br />assistance with housing than middle class citizens need. <br />In closing, just the fact that Harbor View is for offices should easily bring a NO vote from the Council. There <br />is no way to rationalize building this development. So many of us hope and trust that this Council of 2019 will <br />be one of caring for everyone in the city, one that carefully researches the required reports regarding all <br />proposed developments, one that sees the big picture for the city and what the future is projected to bring to us <br />in terms of stronger storms and rising seas— and the even greater increased need for affordable housing. We <br />do have great hope for this Council; I attended the swearing in of the members and could see the talent and <br />experience on this council, and the humanity of its members. <br />i <br />Thank you and sincerely, <br />RC, 94062 <br />
