Dear City Council,
I am writing to oppose the construction of housing on our downtown parking lots.
As a business and property owner of 40 years on Plaza One, I have a vested interest in your decision. My business depends on ample and convenient parking for my patients, without which I will suffer serious financial consequences, including decreased property values. This decision would seriously impact my ability to rent or sell my business and my property.
I know the City is obliged to find housing, which I support. However, this location will have serious consequences on the health and vibrancy of our downtown. If you think the downtown vacancy rate is bad now, just wait for this project to be approved. Who would want to rent or buy property downtown? I certainly wouldn’t.
Please consider the other better, less disruptive Menlo Park housing sites and vote against this project.
Regards,
Jo English DC ACNOak Grove Chiropractic & Wellness681 Oak Grove Ave., Suite C, Menlo Park, CA 94025650-327-2626MenloChiro@aol.comwww.OakGroveChiro.com
