This project should have as much housing as office occupants <br />it should be either housing neutral (not add to the housing problem) or housing positive (have <br />more housing units than office occupants, adding to the total housing stock). <br />3) Traffic and congestion along El Camino, Jefferson and 84. It seems this project with its <br />massive amount of office space would cause a traffic nightmare in this area this is another <br />reason why I believe the project needs to be housing neutral or housing positive. More people <br />could live closer to their offices that are being built here which would reduce the need for <br />them to commute. Already due to traffic along El Camino, residents in nearby apartment <br />buildings find it difficult to open their windows for fresh an due to pollution and an quality. <br />4) Retail needs to be built into the ground floors we need a large grocery store to be built in <br />this project to serve the needs of the new residents of this development as well as the many <br />other nearby residents in the neighborhood we cannot lose another grocery store like <br />Safeway. <br />It's concerning that they want to build so much office space at a time when commercial real <br />estate prices and demand have plummeted. While we expect that to change in the coming <br />years, many companies have shifted to remote work and will likely downsize their offices to <br />smaller, more -flexible spaces. We need more housing than anything and we shouldn't add <br />office space which will contribute to a housing problem that is already so dire. <br />Best, <br />Cody M Goodermote - Resident of Redwood City <br />Cody M.
