Exercise caution when <br />opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. <br />Good afternoon, <br />I am writing about agenda item 7.A. - Zoning Ordinance amendments related to Accessory Dwelling <br />Units (ADU). <br />Before I start my comment, I want to first thank the current city council for overturning the vote on <br />ADUs that the previous council implemented last year. I know affordable housing was a foundational <br />component of many of our council members' campaigns, and their continued dedication to this <br />cause has not gone unnoticed. <br />Unfortunately, affordable housing is still an issue for many residents of our city. I have had several <br />friends and associates move away because they could not afford to remain here. We are losing too <br />many friends, family and community members because of skyrocketing rents and limited housing. <br />Although they won't entirely fix this issue, ADUs can certainly help, and I urge the council to make <br />their construction as easy as possible. <br />Once again, I'd like to thank our city council members for their support of ADUs. Let's make <br />Redwood City an example to follow in the Bay Area when it comes to affordable housing. <br />Thank you, <br />Emil Hanscom <br />
