Orozco, Norma <br />From: Juan Gonzalez <juan_gonzalez@berkeley.edu> <br />Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 2:58 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: [Item 33] In Support of Housing Security Measures <br />Esteemed Santa Ana City Councilmembers, <br />Within the past ten years or so, the idea (and reality) of moving out of Santa Ana has continuously circulated <br />among friends and family, largely due to rising housing costs. Renter family members have moved to places <br />like Riverside County and Arizona, where they can worry less about rent increases and the impossible life <br />choices incurred by housing insecurity. Without full -stop protections for our city's renters, Santa Ana will <br />continue to lose its innovators young and old, cultural contributors, and powerful civic thinkers. Housing is an <br />instrumental component to overall success in life, and must be protected at all costs. As someone whose parents <br />reside in Memorial Park neighborhood, and as someone who grew up on Santa Ana streets, I am in full support <br />of a rent stabilization ordinance, just cause evictions ordinance, and eviction defense fund. Santaneros deserve <br />to stay in Santa Ana. The city is our home, and it's high time that policies are put in place to uphold that. <br />Sincerely, <br />Juan J.
