It holds great value as a cohesive, <br />desirable neighborhood where neighbors know each other and care for one another. This type of well established <br />neighborhood is exactly what adds value and stability to a city. Many of my friends, unlike myself, are Orange County <br />natives. These locals all questioned and discouraged me from moving to Santa Ana- to say nothing about BUYING here. <br />The overriding attitude was that Santa Ana is trashy and undesirable for a host of reasons they easily listed. That was <br />BEFORE they came to see my neighborhood. Upon visiting, these same people consistently and unanimously remark <br />how charming and pretty the neighborhood is, and they love how all the homes are unique- a rarity in OC <br />neighborhoods. They are also always surprised that such a great neighborhood exists in Santa Ana. If the modern, <br />monstrosity apartment building were to go in, it would completely ruin this neighborhood. <br />2525 is NOT the place for high density housing. High density rental housing is widely and well documented to devalue <br />single family neighborhoods, increase crime, traffic accidents and congestion and erode the sense of community that <br />supports safe, stable neighborhoods like Park Santiago. <br />This high density project and rezoning at 2525 Main is not appropriate here and would devalue the existing <br />neighborhood. Please do everything in your power not to allow the rezoning or the current project to go through. <br />Sincerely, <br />Julie Tomlinson, MSW, LCSW <br />Park Santiago Resident <br />0\7- <br />
