Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] No to California's Prohousing Designation

I'm highly concerned. I respectfully ask the City to explain why it would pursue California’s Prohousing Designation when significant
concerns with CURRENT daily impact to the residents today regarding traffic, parking, infrastructure, and evacuation safety remain
unresolved.
This is not a question of whether Anaheim should build housing. It is a question of why the City would encourage even greater density
before demonstrating that our roads, infrastructure, and emergency evacuation systems can safely support the growth already
approved.
The City has already prepared studies, but independent CEQA counsel identified serious deficiencies in the City’s own analyses,
including inconsistencies with Anaheim’s adopted evacuation plans and failures to adequately account for cumulative impacts.
Even more concerning, the City Council, City staff, and the Fire Chief previously concluded that additional density on these same
roadways would increase evacuation risks and threaten public safety.
East Anaheim and Anaheim Hills are located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where evacuation is a matter of life and death.
Residents have already experienced the realities of wildfire and gridlock. Seeking Prohousing Designation and state funding to
encourage even greater density while these unresolved safety risks remain is irresponsible. Public safety must come before
development incentives.
Anaheim should not be seeking state incentives to encourage additional density when it has yet to demonstrate that the growth
already approved can be safely accommodated.
Seeking to build additional housing in a known wildfire area with recent wildfire home losses and daily infrastructure problems
creating traffic issues bad enough that we cannot conduct daily activity is irresponsible. As well, East Anaheim homeowners are
being cancelled by insurance carriers who acknowledge the dangerous conditions but leave existing homeowners who are both tax
payers and constituents with no choices for insurance on their homes. Please do the right thing for East Anaheim. We are ALL your
constituents and your neighbors. Please stop dividing us from Anaheim and respect and hear our legitimate concerns for our safety
based on wildfires and traffic problems that have and are impacting our community.
Respectfully,
