We need to "reclaim" The Guthrie review from the Community Development Department
and place the review in front of the Commission for full and fair public participation in the
review process!
Affordable housing should enrich its surroundings, promote safety, and foster community
spirit. However, The Guthrie fails on multiple fronts. Its stark incongruity with the
neighborhood's character, lack of parking provisions, and potential negative impact on
safety raise serious concerns. Furthermore, the 80% Area Median Income (AMI) threshold
associated with The Guthrie fails to reflect local wage realities, jeopardizing true
affordability.
Thank you
