Affordable housing survey response
County: Merced County
Area type: Town
Age group: 50+
Education: Some college or 2 year college
2024 presidential vote: Kamala Harris
Proposed building floors: 4
Position: Strongly oppose
Best aspects (respondent's words): I oppose the building of this project in my neighborhood, regardless of what rent is charged or who will be able to afford it. Although I am searching for low-income housing myself, and realize we need many more such units, a four-story apartment building would ruin the charm and quaintness of this older part of town. There are other areas in town where this type of building wouldn't disrupt the atmosphere of the locale. Besides that, parking is already a complete nightmare on my street, and adding potentially 60+ cars will not help the situation.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): I would say the same thing I wrote before.
