I recently had to leave California because of the high cost of housing, but it's still home to me. My family and friends are there. I grew up in inland Orange County, went to college at Chico State, started my career in San Francisco, and spent countless vacations exploring California’s beautiful natural landscapes.

I now live in Austin, Texas, but I dream of being able to move back one day. California Forever checks all my boxes: affordable, well-designed housing, thoughtful community planning, walkability, and access to outdoor spaces. It sounds like the kind of place I’d be excited to help shape and grow. I’d be first in line to build community and set down roots.

I fully support this project and hope it moves forward.
