Dear Council President Clarke,

I received the attached letter in the mail today. It is upsetting and concerning that as
Council President, you are trying to influence the votes of Philadelphia residents on
this issue. I don't pay a lot of attention to zoning issues, but as a resident whose
house has more than tripled in price since we purchased it 20+ years ago, I am very
committed to seeing Philadelphia build more family housing, not less. I love my
neighborhood and its "neighborhood character" and that's why I'd like to see it made
accessible to more young families through building smaller homes, multi-family
apartments and affordable housing.

When I've seen coverage of neighborhood groups getting involved in neighborhood

zoning decisions, all I see are the ridiculous "poop building" stories, where perfectly
lovely apartments on empty lots which will increase foot traffic, safety, and
customers for local businesses are getting turned down.

And, when I see City Council exercising their "prerogative" all I see is self-dealing
and self-interest.

I already voted -- and voted no on Ballot 1. I just wanted to record my dismay that
your office is exercising its power to influence this vote and to let you know I hope
Philadelphia builds and builds and we see more middle-class families being able to
call the city home.
