Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear City Council, <br /> <br />I am opposed to a 37 story tower in our city along Broadway. <br /> <br />In 2005, the special election for Mr. Harrah's project held that only 18.5% of registered voters participated in <br />the election and 12.4% of all ballots cast were absentee ballots. Absentee ballots of 2005 should not to be <br />conflated with absentee voting post 2020 pandemic. Absentee ballots cast in 2005 were largely cast by out of <br />town individuals and not the working class residents of Santa Ana of 2005. I am willing to bet that if Santa Ana <br />voters of 2026 were asked to approve a 37 story tower along Broadway, they'd likely vote NO. <br /> <br />The recently proposed changes of Mr. Harrah to increase luxury residences and get rid of all office space <br />indicates to me that Mr. Harrah is not actually an investor in our City; it indicates that he is a profiteer who will <br />take all that which he can reap from a place where he refuses to sow. He claims that the tower will provide <br />much needed housing for workers of Civic Center, but I ask you genuinely, which public employees will be <br />able to afford apartments which cost between $3,000 and $6,000 per month?! <br /> <br />The 37 tower will not serve current long term working class residents. Approving his tower that he wants to be <br />able to see from his backyard in Laguna would be irresponsible to Santa Ana. If he wants to be able to see such <br />a tower from his own yard, maybe he should build it there. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Nathaniel Greensides <br />Ward 5 resident <br />7 <br />
