Affordable housing survey response
County: Los Angeles County
Area type: Suburb
Age group: 50+
Education: Some college or 2 year college
2024 presidential vote: Donald Trump
Proposed building floors: 4
Position: Strongly oppose
Best aspects (respondent's words): I oppose construction of this building because of the increase of street parking in my neighborhood. 30 units doesn't mean only 30 cars on the street--there could be more than one car per apartment! Plus when they get visitors--they will also park on our street! And the increase of traffic and noise in our neighborhood. ANY apartment building without it's own LARGE parking lot/structure is totally unacceptable in our neighborhood.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): Affordable housing for people with incomes of less than $30,000 per year have proven to be magnets for crime. Crime increases in areas where single mothers are struggling to take care of their children, and some of those children get out of their mother's control, form groups and get into mischief. This mischief can lead to gangs where crime and violence grows. The first victims are the people renting the apartments! The secondary victims are in the neighborhood.
