From: Squarespace To: Megan Campbell Subject: Form Submission - Provide comments Date: Tuesday,June 14,2022 6:49:14 PM Sent via form submission from Pleasanton Housing Element Update Name: Jill Buck Email Comment: Dear Ellen, Megan and Shweta; Thank you so much for all the hard work you are doing on the Housing Element! I just have a couple of continents I'd like to submit in writing: 1. I strongly believe that Pleasanton public schools graduate some of the most intelligent, capable and hardworking young people in the world. I believe they will do great things wherever they go. but Pleasanton will be great if they come home to live, work and play. I fear that we are exporting our City's future each year we fail to provide affordable housing options for the many Amador. Foothill and Village graduates who would love to come back to Pleasanton and have the requisite education to engage in our diverse and strong economy. I would love to see more residential options that are tailored to young people just beginning their careers in the area. and potentially some creative financing options for graduates of our high schools. I realize that this would require public-private partnerships. but I genuinely believe there are enterprises that would be willing to engage in those partnerships if the City signaled interest. 2. I am a stalwart supporter of the Climate Action Plan. but I do not favor its use as means to stall housing in any way. I do not favor any efforts to require the City to meet any tlu-eshold of GHG emissions before approving housing projects, and I do not favor restricting the personal freedoms of future homeowners based on the City's climate goals. I believe that with a combination of built-in infrastructure efficiencies and good-faith efforts on the part of ALL Pleasanton residents, we can meet our GHG emission reduction goals. Restrictions on private property. like owning a car, should not be conditions placed on new residents when existing residents are allowed these freedoms. I believe this would form inequities and dissent among residents that is needless. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, Jill Buck Does this submission look like spam? Report it here.
