Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Please oppose Anaheim's Prohousing Designation application

Dear Mayor Aitken and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
I support responsible housing development in Anaheim, but I am asking you to oppose the City's
Prohousing Designation application.
Anaheim needs housing, and I understand the importance of creating opportunities for new homes.
However, supporting housing does not mean the city should give up local control or agree to policies that
limit Anaheim's ability to respond to real-world problems.
Every project is different. Some may be appropriate, while others may create serious concerns with
traffic, parking, infrastructure, public safety, wildfire evacuation, or neighborhood compatibility. The City
Council needs to preserve its ability to evaluate each project on its own merits and require changes
when necessary.
Please oppose the Prohousing Designation application and keep Anaheim's housing decisions local,
balanced, and accountable.
Sincerely,
Dr. Anita Yacoub
