10. I am parent to 2 young adult who live at home because they are unable to find <br />housing. They graduated from high school when the economy tanked and have yet <br />to find adequate employment. Even working full time they qualify as well below the <br />very, very, low income level. They would be homeless without me. My grandson <br />lives well below the poverty level here in San Leandro living in a 1 bedroom apt with <br />4 adults. IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT RENTS HAVE BECOME SO HIGH THAT YOUNG <br />PEOPLE CAN NOT SECURE ADEQUATE HOUSING AS THEY VENTURE INTO <br />ADULTHOOD! I worry about what will happen to me as I age and try to survive on a <br />limited income. <br /> 2/7/2015 2:39 PM <br />11. My neighborhood - DAVIS WEST - has become MORE not LESS blighted in the 12 <br />years. This is quite disconcerting to me. I am beginning to feel that San Leandro is <br />getting to be like Oakland, where it is easier to focus on the easy areas for <br />improvement, but let the blighted ones take care of themselves. It has become clear <br />that those that made out well during the recession speculated and bought homes in <br />Davis West, only to rent them out. In some cases, improvements were made, but in <br />other cases illegal garage conversions have been ignored and/or encouraged to <br />increase the number of tenants. One such address of illegal activity/rental is: 1063 <br />Warden Avenue. I have requested police presence to curb the speeding on Warden, <br />but instead see SLPD on E 14th and in the Marina stopping cars. I have asked for <br />consideration of the vacant property on Laura Street that the City bought to be <br />converted to some type of neighborhood use - youth services or a dog park. I have <br />also asked that the underutilized Warden Park be considered as a dog park. All <br />these concerns seem to fall on deaf ears. I hear that the Broadmoor neighbors feel <br />quite similarly. It's time to listen to the residents and not only focus on the glamorous <br />projects in the City. <br /> 2/6/2015 1:25 PM <br />12. San Leandro NEEDS an Adult Day Care Facility. The former Adult day Care facility <br />was closed due to non compliance of ADA laws. (St. Peter's Church was closed in <br />2011) The Seniors have been attending facilities in Hayward and Berkeley. Some <br />seniors remain at home because of the there is NO FACILITY available in San <br />Leandro. There is a DESPERATE AND URGENT NEED for Adult Care facility in <br />San Leandro. <br /> 2/5/2015 10:59 PM <br />13. There are more seniors in San Leandro than most Bay Cities. They do not have <br />some programs that are available in other cities like Oakland, Fremont and <br />Hayward. For example there is no Adult Day ;Care Center. There is no programs like <br />Senior Visitors, Community Ambassador Program (CAP), Volunteer Helpers and <br />Elder Helpers. The seniors need more help and senior housing. and programs. <br /> 2/5/2015 5:55 PM
