Dear city council,
I just moved back to flagstaff the other day. I was here for about 18 months 2 years ago. I
wanted to thank the commission for addressing the issue of such high rents here. I have livedin a few different communities in the past 15 to 20 years and I hope that affordable housing
can some day be available here. I owned a high end mens clothing store in Bozeman for 7years and they have higher housing prices there, but much lower rents for apartments. The city
was always putting in place things to find affordable housing for some. I am fortunate to beable to pay 1320 for a 750 square foot apartment but it is a bit of a tough pill to swallow. Also
I have noticed the purina smell still exists here as I have heard it has for many years. I hopethat a resolution can be found on this. I am surprised this has been going on for some many
years
Thank you all for serving in this nice community.
Kevin Williams
