I am writing my support of the Housing Element Draft Plan for Menlo Park. We need housing, especially affordable housing to support the diversity and betterment of our community that will result. I especially support two current proposed developments....the Flood School Site and the SRI development. While the Flood School site is limited on the number of units of housing, what they propose would provide needed housing for teachers and other people who work in our community that can not afford to live here. I am sure the objections of the Suburban Party faction can be worked and mitigated. The SRI development should be looked at to increase the number of housing elements in that development, being within walking distance of public transit and downtown.....a prime location to provide new and needed housing in our community.
