Letter: Working together on housing the right idea

I want to thank you for your editorial, "Let's work together on housing" in the Jan. 7 edition.

As a seven-year member of the Menlo Park Housing Commission, I am overjoyed that The Almanac supports the search for positive and sensible solutions to our city's housing problems.

I look forward to the creation of attractive and appropriate transit-oriented-housing along El Camino Real and increased housing options for our senior population. I am painfully aware of the need for a greater number of below market rate units for those who live or work in Menlo Park.

My colleagues and I recognize that the number of those seeking housing will greatly increase with the expansion of the Stanford Medical Center. It is my great hope that the community will work together cooperatively to meet these challenges.
