    I support the construction at 910 Wetherly. We as a community have a dire house issue that needs to be solved and the only way to do so is to create more housing. It is our responsibility as a community.

    I support the construction of the 910 Wetherly Project. I am lucky to be a home owner in our quiet area within the busy city. I understand the urge to 'maintain' the character of norma triangle. But California is currently in the midst of a housing crisis. We must do our part and accept new developments. We need to build more, everywhere. I am thrilled that the developers of 910 Wetherly have made it so far and hope they won't be stopped by some local Nimbys. Kyle Kallman, Dicks St

    I’ve been a renter in the City and an active mobility and housing justice advocate for a decade.
    I urge your support for 910 Wetherly Drive. It will provide desperately needed housing to vulnerable community members, reflecting the founding principles that brought forth Cityhood 40 years ago.
    I respectfully urge you to deny the appeals and uphold the Planning Commission’s approval of the affordable housing project. It will make a life-changing difference to those who eventually call it home.
