The Draft EIR has found <br />20 separate traffic and air quality impacts that are significant and unavoidable even with mitigation measures. In <br />addition, the Harbor View project would add over 4,500 new employees at this site with no additional housing, <br />which would worsen the jobs/housing imbalance by over 2,000 homes. Furthermore, Redwood City should not <br />be locating additional development in areas that are vulnerable to sea level rise until there is a plan in place for <br />how to protect it. <br />As a resident of Oakland that has neighbors commuting to the Peninsula to work, adding that many jobs without <br />housing, in a flood plain, makes no sense for the health of the region. If the region becomes too cumbersome for <br />employees to live in, talented people will not live here. Residents eventually give up when faced with high <br />housing costs, impossible traffic that makes childcare difficult, the inability to find schools close to work amd <br />housing. This project would further inconvenience Bay Area families. <br />Please do not spend any further staff time or resources on this project, which is wrong for Redwood City. Thank <br />/ou for your consideration. <br />Elizabeth Adam <br />Oakland 94619 <br />
