We believe that Santa Ana needs to develop <br />and create destinations just like Anaheim, Fullerton and Irvine have done. Main Place was no accident and it is <br />the perfect location to have a destination that is a vibrant development. <br />There is this article in the NYT today. This article only makes sense to forward thinking people: <br />httns://www.nylimes. comlinteractivel20l 9/06l18/upshotleities-across-america-question-single-family- <br />zoning.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share <br />Over the years living in Santa Ana I have seen a City that lacks courage to compete with its neighboring cities <br />and to think out of the box. I have no expectations that this will change. A lack of courage, lack of vision and <br />frozen by fear is what Santa Ana's government looks like. <br />But there is some hope. No one else is doing mass transit. Santa Ana kept this dream alive when all the <br />neighboring cities said no. <br />It would be a miracle to see Santa Ana move out of the sphere of fearful conservatism and wake up <br />courageously to lead this County. <br />It would be wonderful to have a true walkable community in this area. It's a dream. I fear it will never happen. <br />Sincerely <br />Lewis and Jeanette Wood <br />Park Santiago Neighborhood <br /> <br /> <br />
