zoning at 2525 Main Street as is, as it has long been. Rezoning or general amendment change on <br />the 2525 Main Residential Development is not for the common good of the city. Please vote no on the <br />development. <br />Some say that the City Council may dismiss Park Santiago's opposition as owing to <br />cantankerousness as a result of the neighborhood's (perceived) demographics: white, old, <br />conservative, and rich. <br />But let me submit to you that even if the demographics (1) were accurate and (2) were in fact related <br />to the opposition, they are irrelevant to the validity of the opposition. In other words, why should Park <br />Santiago's concerns be invalidated due to the citizens' race, ethnicity, age, and household income <br />group? Such disparate treatment would be unjust and un-American. <br />It may be surprising that I am, in fact, a thirty -six -year -old woman, mother of two young children, and <br />first -generation immigrant from a poor South East Asian country. And yet I live in Park Santiago. Not <br />that my background should matter, because the citizens' concerns should be considered on their <br />merits. They are valid because we live here and would be the ones most affected by the <br />development. <br />Please vote no on the development. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Adeline A.
