Orozco, Norma <br />From: Victor Gallardo < <br />Sent: Monday, August 14, 2023 2:05 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Cc: Amezcua, Valerie; Hernandez, Johnathan; angie.banuelos@gmail.com; Bacerra, Phil; <br />Lopez, Jessie; Phan, Thai; Vazquez, Benjamin; Penaloza, David <br />Subject: Support for Item #14 <br />Please Support item #14. <br />Why are other cities coming to Santa Ana to push for Santa Ana to have codes and laws that allow for more <br />homelessness, more drug use, etc. it's because if Santa Ana has them then they (the other surrounding cities) <br />can just send all their problems to Santa Ana. I live 3 blocks from Santa Ana College, I live by 17th Street and <br />Bristol/Flower. Drive down 17th and see the drugs, homelessness, prostitutes, etc. I'm a citizen of the USA, <br />Californian, born, raised and still live in Santa Ana. My kids are at the Santa Ana Library EVERY WEEK (Civic <br />Center & Newhope, every one at the Library knows my wife and kids), why do we have to deal with unsafe <br />environments? Why can't my kids ride their bikes to the local 7-11(I'm 2 % blocks from two of them) to pick <br />up a Slurpee? Why doesn't Santa Ana protect the interest of the actual legal residence of this City? I'm <br />Hispanic, I'm a "minority", etc. but why does this city continue pander and cater to politics that do not benefit <br />the people who want to raise their kids in this City? Stop, trying to be like LA. Look what is happening around <br />the State to the cities that do not look out for their citizens best interest - Oakland, San Francisco, LA, and now <br />you can add Santa Ana. Look what is going on in New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Portland. We need to start <br />making Santa Ana a safe and beautiful place for our kids. Stop the politics - focus on the legal, tax paying, hard <br />working, Santa Ana Residence! <br />Does Santa Ana have someone who is not backed by a political arm/brand that supports nonsense policies? Or <br />is it just assumed that because Santa Ana is 90% Mexican (of which I am Mexican -American) that Santa Ana <br />will continue to get the same brand of politics and policies that do not look out for actual Santa Ana legal <br />Residence and will mirror what is happening in said cities mentioned above? <br />Maybe it's time I seek some financial resources so I can run for office. You know Run the City like I run my <br />house, my business, with common sense rules and boundaries, with a budget, without debt, and with me <br />making decisions for the best interest of my wife and kids and in my business for my clients and vendors. It's a <br />novel idea, just not sure why governments, bureaucracies and politicians continue to make decisions they <br />wouldn't make for their homes, their families or the their businesses. <br />If you're on this thread and live in Santa Ana or if you have family that lives in Santa Ana, please copy and <br />paste and send to the email addresses noted herein today. <br />With gratitude, <br />Victor Gallardo <br />Lumen Solutions, Inc. <br />( <br />NMLS: 326868 <br />CA BRE: 01788360 <br /> <br />10 <br />
