I have attempted to location information pertaining to <br />vacancy rates in all of the new housing condos/apartments/townhouses, to no avail except for <br />one site that stated that the area from El Camino Real to Veterans Blvd, including Jefferson <br />Avenue, the vacancy rate is currently 17%. <br />We certainly do not need any additional commercial construction, especially with the possible <br />decisions by the biggest companies in this area to allow their employees to work from home, <br />wherever that may be. I've already heard that Facebook, Twitter, Square and Zillow have <br />announced that they will allow their employees work from home even after the pandemic is <br />eraditacated, and with Redwood City's cost of living here having skyrocketed, these decisions <br />could have a huge impact on whether Redwood City even needs the buildings - both <br />commercial and residential - that have been built and approved! <br />Redwood City is already unrecognizable to those of us who have lived here for decades, and <br />not for our betterment. Don't you think it's time to put a stop to any additional construction <br />until we all know how things will pan out? <br />Please consider the new reality, and stop building. <br />Sincerely, <br />View this email in your browser <br />
