To whom this may concern,
I have been a long time resident of the old quad area. I was born and raised in Santa Clara. I come from a multi generational family residence in Santa Clara. I'm writing because I oppose the plans for the charities housing proposed for the corner of Civic Center drive and Lincoln ave. I personally am not a fan of low income housing. even though I am sympathetic to people getting a second chance to get on their feet, I'm not a fan of the clientele that low income housing brings. I would like the city to take a look at calls for service and or police resources used when it come to low income housing properties in this city.
I feel that we don't need low income housing anywhere in this city. the property taxes and rent that people pay in this city should be enough revenue for this city to survive. you can't tell me that this city needs to take income from low income housing when this city has the stadium, the convention center, hotels and for the time being Great America. as well as all the tech companies and retail in this city. I think Santa Clara needs to look at other cities who have decline low income housing in their cities and follow their protocol and mimic their polices and procedures for Santa Clara.
I don't think people who pay
high property taxes and high rent want to deal with the low income clientele that it brings with it. we as citizens of Santa Clara have to do with rising crime and the rising population of the un housed in our city.
Thank you for listening and understanding from a long time Santa Clara resident.
