I am asking that the <br />commission vote NO and reject the proposed 480‐unit, high‐density apartment complex. <br /> <br />I have been a resident of Santa Ana for 58 years and seen a lot of changes in that time. I long ago <br />noticed that where they put up high-rise apartments in residential neighborhoods, the whole <br />neighborhood goes down in quality. As a case in point, think of the beautiful old homes mixed in with <br />apartments/condos just west of the 5, and south of 17th St. The character of the whole area just changed <br />for the worse. It is so congested and cold. The "neighborhoodness" of it disappeared. <br /> <br />I do not want that sort of thing to happen to our neighborhood. As a child, we had always admired the <br />lovely homes as we drove through this neighborhood on the way to Fashion Square (now Main Place). <br />Later, my sister moved to Park Santiago, and I vowed that one day, I would live there, too. In 1990, I my <br />dream was realized when I rented a garage apartment on Valencia. I finally bought a home on French St. <br />in 1997, and we raised our children here. We had a great opportunity to move to North Tustin in 2012, but <br />opted to stay because we love our neighbors, and there is such a great sense of community here. The <br />place is truly unique. People who visit us always marvel at what a beautiful, friendly neighborhood it is-- <br />it's a tribute to Santa Ana!
