Dear Editor:
Your coverage of Measure F, the Housing for All and Downtown Vitality Initiative, leaves out the main purpose of voting Yes on Measure F: to allow for more housing for hard-working families, seniors, and workers while ensuring downtown businesses don’t shut down or move away. It is very clear if you read the ballot measure.
Thousands of Eurekans signed petitions so voters could say YES to Measure F, enabling more housing in Eureka and supporting small businesses. Two former mayors and more than 50 downtown business owners also support Measure F.
Measure F does two essential things for Eureka: one, it will open up the Jacobs site by zoning it for hundreds of homes to be built there, and two, it saves our Downtown small businesses by ensuring they have the accessible parking they need to survive. It is not one or the other, housing or business. Measure F does both.
As co-sponsors of this important ballot measure, we want the additional housing Measure F to enable, not just the limited housing currently planned that wipes out Downtown parking. We want a thriving future for Eureka. That’s why we are voting Yes on Measure F.
Michelle Costantine,
Eureka
