Support the development of affordable/workforce housing on the Suzuki Property
Final supporters
Dear COBI Council Members:
I support the sale of the Suzuki Property for development which includes permanent affordable housing.
Bainbridge Island needs workforce housing – the Housing Needs Assessment, Comprehensive Plan, and citizen surveys all support this.
The Suzuki Property can be developed to provide housing AND protect open space and environmentally sensitive features, in a way that complements surrounding uses.
Thank you.

Reaching this level of support shows that people are finally seeing through the noise. It has been an exhausting road to get this far but seeing so many of you behind this confirms we are on the right path.

I support the ned for affordable housing on the Suzuki property.I would like to also support the design to consider considerate environmental policies to preserve the habitat and natural history of the propeerty.
Living on Social Security, with a large companion dog, is challenging enough in terms of finding affordable housing. If people don't want the poor to live on BI, they should just post a sign at the ferry terminal and make it crystal clear.
It is very important that Bainbridge make affordable housing possible. The generous gift of the Suzuki family to the Island should be honored by making sure that both affordable housing and green open space be preserved on the Island.
Without City support for affordable housing, Bainbridge won't have enough affordable homes for teachers, business employees, police and fire responders who work here.
I grew up on Bainbridge and after college I chose to purchase a home elsewhere because of the expense. I have many friends who are assets to the Bainbridge community who have been "priced out" of living there (teachers, artists, writers, culinary artist). Affordable housing is part of what creates healthy biodiversity in any community.

It would be wonderful to be able to offer affordable housing to my staff. Only 1 employee out of the 13 that work for me is able to live here.
