Meredith, Maureen To: Subject: Peggy 4900 RE: Opposition to Low Income Housing proposal in Westcreek From: Peggy 4900 < Sent: Monday, May 27, 2024 10:07 AM To: Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Cc: Peggy Boice - Subject: Opposition to Low Income Housing proposal in Westcreek Thanks so much, Maureen. One reason for my opposition is how close it will be to the neighborhood elementary school, which is already overcrowded. Another concern is safety. Low-income housing projects often have a lot of crime. That happened in my neighborhood in Houston after New Orleans low-income residents were moved here during and after Hurricane Harvey. Even though a lot moved back to New Orleans, the crime has continued in my formerly safe neighborhood. Finally, I think a lot of Westcreek residents, like my tenant, are elderly. They, and young families, would be targets for crime. Thank you for submitting my comments. I’m sure many more residents have tried to email you their comments, but Westcreek gave out an incorrect email for you and so far they haven’t corrected it yet.
