My name is Amy Asin and I live in the St Francis neighborhood. Please support the proposal for 37 homes at 414 California Avenue. We need more housing near retail and transportation.
This project will promote sustainable lifestyles, support local businesses, and bring much needed housing options to our community. I spend time on Cal Ave 4-5 times per week.
Having a vibrant neighborhood setting there with residents is critical. It’s about housing density but also about vitality. Thank you for your leadership to support homes for all in our community.

My name is Rachel Miller and I live in the Miranda Green neighborhood of Palo Alto.
Please support the proposal for 37 homes at 414 California Avenue. We need more housing near retail and transportation. This project will promote sustainable lifestyles, support local businesses, and bring much needed housing options to our community.
My husband and I just became empty nesters as we dropped our youngest off at college a couple weeks ago. We no longer need a big house within walking/biking distance of schools, but in a few years, after retirement, would like to downsize into a condo within walking distance of amenities like grocery stores, restaurants, a train station, etc. We would like to be able to stay in our community, especially since my mother lives nearby and needs my help.
Through my parents, I’ve seen firsthand how dangerous and isolating it can be for aging people to stay too long alone in homes with staircases, that require driving in order to go anywhere, that require maintenance that becomes too difficult to manage. We need to allow more housing for people at all stages of life, whether young singles, families, or retirees. If there are suitable places for people like my husband and I to downsize into, that frees up our large home for a growing young family, which will help sustain our excellent schools which are experiencing plummeting enrollment, as well as generate more property taxes that keep all city services funded.
