Question

id: 768609456 name: nathaniel augustus hill time remaining: 00:58:34 what is sai yangs main point? the housing shortage is the main problem. residents of the community complain too much. the apartments should be built closer to public transportation. most residents support the plan to build the apartments. realto daily news letters to the editor dear editor, i agree with hector avilas perspective in too many apartments, printed may 11. the citys plan to permit the building of multiple apartments in the now - peaceful and calm realto neighborhood will inevitably cause overcrowding and traffic congestion for those of us currently living in the area. the city claims that the apartments will not contribute to the traffic problems our city faces because they are situated within a half mile of public transport. however, what guarantee does the city have that the residents of these apartments will ride public transportation? in addition, i am personally concerned about construction noise going on for several years if this multi - building plan is implemented. one apartment building, okay. more, not okay. - leticia marquez, realto resident dear editor, unlike hector avilas opinion stated in the may 11th article, too many apartments, i support the citys decision to build more apartments. the city needs to build as much housing as possible if we are to alleviate the housing shortage. in my experience, willingness to use public transportation depends on accessibility, and half of a mile away is easy access for most people. i dont foresee a major increase in traffic. granted, more people mean more noise in our community, but despite the complaints, something must be done to house the increasing population in our city. like it or not, more housing is needed. - sai yang, realto resident
