It is a terrible desition to increase the density of low income families to an area that already has low income housing and it's trying to be revitalize in order to attract capital and job creating projects like the East River Project.

We are residents of Bayou Landing, and owners for fifteen years. We have much enjoyed the positive development of the area since we purchased our townhome. The HHA's improperly proposed projects will greatly reduce development options for this important part of near-downtown Houston.

These developments will be unfair to emergency service workers in our area! This is essentially the city of Houston stealing from their own employees. Our cops and firefighters will suffer drastically in our area!!

This will further limit the east side's recent growing economy and will drastically affect many new businesses, home communities, and potential investors to further grow our great city. We will also lose millions in property tax revenue that would benefit Houston and the school districts within the area.

This map is good but does not account for Cleme Manor, MDI site, or East River's affordable units. Dont make the same historical mistake of craming Houston's government housing in the same small area and expect a different outcome.

Seriously considered purchasing a home there and found out about this. Shame that taxpayers don't have a say

We need to rebuild communities and not have any issues with worrying about the safety and well being of others
