Orozco, Norma <br />From:Marlha Sanchez <mamadragonrising@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, November 17, 2020 2:37 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Item 75A <br />My name is Marlha Sanchez, I am a resident of Ward 5. My comment is in strong opposition to item 75A. <br /> <br />This project is so far off from what out community needs. We do not need more luxury housing. We need to <br />address so many other more pressing issues that will truly benefit the residents it is your job to represent. <br /> <br />This project will send us deeper into displacement, gentrification and pushing low income and working class <br />residents further from feeling valued by the city. So many residents have already felt the push and exclusion <br />that has been the gentrification of OUR downtown. Where once we go could shop and support the local <br />economy now we are being priced out, pushed out more and more. <br /> <br />Please prioritize residents over visitors. <br /> <br />The city would be commuting to taking on the economic risk by supporting this project with $13 million for a <br />hotel in the middle of a pandemic. This makes no sense economically or morally. Our community is one of the <br />most impacted by COVID. Do not use public funds for this project that doesn’t not benefit the community. <br />-- <br />Gracias, <br />Marlha Sanchez <br /> <br />6 <br />
