Build Community, Not A Hotel
Sell publicly owned land to build a hotel?
That's the City's plan!
The planned hotel, with 220 rooms and 15 parking spaces, would:
-
Use space that is zoned for housing, while creating more low-wage service jobs, thus worsening our terrible housing shortage.
-
Low-paid workers would need to commute from more affordable communities, adding to roadway congestion.
-
-
Send majority of profits out of state, to New York.
-
Bring over 200 more cars to Santa Cruz on busy weekends.
-
These cars would have no parking other than in publicly subsidized parking lots and parking garages.
-
Could this be why the city wants to build another parking garage where we currently gather for the weekly Downtown Farmers' Market?
-
As community members, we STRONGLY DISAGREE with this plan.
We need affordable housing, not a luxury hotel in Santa Cruz!
