To the City of Anaheim,
My name is Elena Anglin-Davis, and I’ve lived in Anaheim Hills for many years. I’m writing to oppose the
new high-density housing project being considered in our community.
I’ve had to evacuate during wildfires here before. Sitting in gridlocked traffic with flames moving fast
behind us is something you never forget. It’s terrifying, and it showed me firsthand how limited our
evacuation routes really are. That’s why I’m honestly appalled that this project is moving forward without
fully addressing those risks.
According to CAL FIRE’s updated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps, parts of this development
fall in or near areas with documented wildfire danger. We already know from past fires — including
Canyon 2 — that evacuation routes become overwhelmed quickly. Adding hundreds of units and
potentially thousands more cars will make it even harder for residents to get out safely during an
emergency.
I’m asking the City to pause this project until an independent, transparent wildfire-evacuation study
shows that adding more density won’t put people at risk. Those of us who have lived through evacuations
aren’t being dramatic — we’re being responsible. Our safety should come first.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
