Although I <br />appreciate development and change to a certain degree, I am extremely concerned that this <br />project is lacking vision. <br />I am most concerned about two aspects missing from the proposed project: <br />-There is not enough housing AND/OR affordable housing included <br />-There is definitely not enough Green Space for the residents (as proposed, and definitely not <br />enough for more housing). <br />If we continue to deny affordable local housing, we will one day find ourselves with no more <br />teachers, handymen, nurses, artists, etc living on the Peninsula. By pushing out these trades <br />and professions, we are setting ourselves up for economic disaster. We will have to pay <br />MORE for their services here, because the labor will have to come in from 100 miles. And <br />what we pay for labor continues to use each year. <br />Furthermore, diversity of background coaches a community, and we welcome all (legal) <br />trades/professions here. And for those who are able to secure "affordable" housing, and other <br />housing, they should have some space in which to breathe. They need a place to walk their <br />dogs, let their children run and play. There is NO LACK of retail and office space in <br />Redwood City. Let's work in some breathing room.. if the pandemic has taught me anything, <br />it's that we need fresh air to survive. <br />Please deny Greystar's approval and request changes reflecting these concerns. <br />Sincerely, Kathleen Huber Bakshi <br />Principal Designer <br />W WN.KHBDESIGNS.COM <br />i <br />
