Dear City Council,
I am not in agreement with the City of Anaheim suggestion of usage of the Assessor Parcel No. 126-602-31. I feel the 47-unit intergenerational affordable rental housing project is not a good fit for our community. I see this project as repeating history example; hotel row down Beach Blvd. with occasional prostitutes and then of course the housing of the homeless in the hotels without any counseling, education or support to better themselves to improve their lives. So once again our community is going to have to pay for what was not learned from the past. Not only financially but socially.
Because if these rentals are for the homeless and extremely low income our community will be seeing more drug addicts, individuals with mental illness and an increase in crime in our area that only has a small police substation that is not regularly staffed What we need in our area is something that will bring the community out of their homes, provide entertainment for the young and elderly. Plus be more nature orientated example: trees, walk through water fountain and other fun things.
I have a major question that needs to be answered. Who is going to be responsible for this structure once the land lease is expired? I see West Anaheim again will have to pay the price!
If we continue to proceed with this project I see history will continue to repeat itself until we right the wrong!
Sincerely your neighbor,
Ronda Larsen, Anaheim, CA. 92804
