Over the past decade, San Luis Obispo has changed and is losing its quaintness and special charm. We need to re-examine the direction San Luis Obispo is growing. I appreciate and understand that the community needs more affordable housing and more head of household jobs. However, sacrificing the lifestyle that attracts tourists and the reason our residents came here in the first place is the wrong approach.Instead we need to SLOW DOWN SLO TOWN and do a better job keeping San Luis Obispo the "Happiest Town In America".
We have all seen positive growth in San Luis Obispo that is beneficial to our community, but that's not always the case. Sometimes this growth has brought projects in without appropriate infrastructure. We need to build roads and bridges before these new projects are built to eliminate the traffic problems like we have today. We also need to be hyper sensitive to our challenging water and wastewater treatment challenges.
Change is inevitable and can be a positive thing, but we need to insure we're notdestroying the qulity of life in our townby over development and continue to create a townmany of us no longer relate to.
