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