Thank you to the committee and council member Hanif.

I wanted to give a brief comment in support of the rezoning at Arrow Linen.
3:58:26
Previous commenters have spoken about how the shortage of housing is driving up rents and displacing the neighbors that already live in the city.
3:58:34
And I also hope the Council considers the people who don't know to participate in this process, but who, decades down the line, if this gets built, would find a lovely home and contribute to the neighborhood, the immigrants that move here to seek opportunity, young people who want to stay in the community where they grew up, or couples seeking more space to grow their family.
3:58:58
I understand all of the concerns that have been expressed by other commenters, but I hope that the council doesn't remove homes and to take away opportunities from all of the neighbors that will add to the neighborhood in the future.

Thank you.
