Citi Clerk, I would appreciate your sharing the below email with the PS Mayor, City
Council Members, City Manager, and City Attorney.
I was amazed reading yesterday's The Desert Sun article regarding the PS Affordable
Housing Project-- where the City Attorney supposedly said there would be legal
issues if this project (which drew 500 applications including 150 from PS residents)
prioritized PS residents. Aren't City's affordable housing projects, supported by that
city's taxpayer's money, to be for that City's residents? Why would we pay to provide
affordable housing for outsiders, while leaving our own residents out who are in
need? That doesn't even make sense.
Please reconsider and provide housing for PS residents FIRST, who qualify for this
project!
Thank you.
Joan Smith
PS Resident
