Growth should be sustainable and equitable. The Housing Element should not concentrate the vast majority of development in our district. Traffic is already terrible on Ralston, El Camino, Old County and Hiller around high commute times. What will it be like with thousands of new residents in high density housing? How can our local schools support an influx of new students? The Housing Element needs to address these concerns.

The existing neighborhood infrastructure (sewer, power, and roads) cannot handle such an increase due to projected growth, it will be costly to address all that needs to be addressed to do the job right, and not to do so is negligent.
Also with all the water shortages, now and projected for the future, this will be a massive issue with an expanded population like this.

I support more housing development, but the city's plan is segregation.

Don't ruin our neighborhood by concentrating high-density housing in Sterling Downs. The City needs to consider a more equitable distribution or continue the discrimination that the City began decades ago. This time it's not race, but class - perpetuating income inequality denying us the opportunity to grow equity in our homes, reducing the value while those properties in West Belmont continue to appreciate in value. How does this demonstrate FAIR HOUSING opportunity for ALL Belmont residents?
