Others are not, possibly for the use of an employee who can do other work."

This may discourage people from renting rooms out, making housing even tighter. Please keep working to get us all as much testing as we need. Thanks!" "","","","","","",The pandemic is going to drive home values upward making it harder for young people to be able to afford to live here or buy a home. "","","","","","","Because of the fact that there is a massive amount of commercial buildings for lease all over the county, maybe they should be turned into multi-residential units rather than take up more open spaces and do additional damage to the oak trees, creeks and wildlife."

"","","","","","",It appears that telecommuting may be with us for a long time and some businesses may decide that they no longer need to have office buildings. Is that an opportunity to convert commercial space to residential units? Just something to think about. "","","","","","",I'm not sure what the long term impacts from the pandemic will be. People may lose their homes and have to look for rental housing or live back with their families. Or the various stimulus packages will allow current residents to keep their homes. SF Bay Area residents may leave the cities and come to Placer County. An economic downturn may decrease the number of people with income to be able to come to eastern Placer County for winter and summer recreation.

Outdoor recreation is becoming more and more impacted. "","","","","","","Would love to see planning done with real long term vision, rather than the local politics of who owns what. I want to see planning documents that are based on the demographics the area is likely to attack, then the demographics of those that will be needed to serve that community, with specific design to insure there is enough housing for each. Especially around Tahoe where we see lots of new high-end developments, and no affordable developments other than apartments. Teachers, fire fighters, grocery store employees don't want to have to live in apartments. We need more affordable developments too. Allow smaller lots, smaller homes, more density, less expensive construction. Only through those things can you reach affordability."

Many people, who are responsible and have full-time jobs, even those who are able to keep working through this pandemic, are already right on the edge of affordability. Unless we build and make available more housing that is affordable, there will be an explosion in homelessness. Many people in our area will suffer tremendously. This is a critical need. We must require developers to develop more affordable housing. " "","","","","","","I think the real estate companies and landlords should have done more to help people, even if that means they take a monetary loss, like the rest of us. They seem to get there money either way. Or some of these million dollar resorts could have opened up temporary rooms for people to live at low cost.

Developers like those at Placer Ranch and in the Sunset Plan Area should be required to build multi-family housing to provide affordable housing for workers so they don't need to commute from out of the county. The county committed fraud in certifying the final EIR for those two projects when they excepted the assessment of the consultant that there was no need for muliti-family housing. County Supervisors should be banned from excepting campaign contributions from developers and from operating one stop shopping businesses to assist developers in getting their projects approved by the county, such as the business set up by Kirk Uhler and his administrative assistant.

"","","","","","",I live in Roseville. I?ve seen an increase in Bay Area people moving here. They do not have the same neighborly behaviors as we do. I appreciate our police force and neighborhood resource officer. I wanted to say thank you. For the record with what?s going on now it?s not based on race. We are Mexican . "","","","","","",No "","","","","","","Not directly related to housing, but...Since the food industry is surviving with to-go business, make policy for restaurants to use biodegradable packaging. Although I know this can be costly to businesses, perhaps grants can accommodate funding it for the betterment of the county environment." "","","","","","",Please be more considerate of traffic impacts in rural/suburban areas before allowing high density housing there. "","","","","","",North Lake Tahoe has been impacted with out of area buyers making it impossible for locals to rent long term or even buy because housing prices have gone up so much. Residential homes with enough coverage should be allowed to add on to accommodate for an additional family. "","","","","","",pandemic is only exacerbating existing issues. "","","","","","","Living by being kind to all others and giving back to my community, I am not a ?political person;? nor do I fit any party category. Our governor (CA) is over stepping his authority! The mandated, or strongly suggested, restrictions are beyond overreaching... putting our most vulnerable, and even those who may have been doing ?well? before the pandemic, into a chaotic state with less chance to be able to get footing and be self-reliant again is sliding quickly down a slippery slope..." "","","","","","","Why are the TOT revenues not finding their way back to Tahoe City, Kings Beach, and other local communities?" "","","","","","",Enforce the regulation that states how much affordable housing needs to be included in projects. Rumor mill says it hasnt been enforced? "","","","","","","Create a program where people who own their own homes can pay property taxes on a monthly basis. Property tax reductions for low income homeowners, seniors. Make it easier to add on ?granny? unitsto existing housing. " "","","","","","","Still hoping this will be short term problem and things will be back to normal by the spring. If the pandemic continues into next year, much more drastic steps will need to be taken." "","","","","","",I don't know what we'll do if the kids can't go back to school for real in the fall. It will have major impact on the set up of our house. "","","","","","",I feel the new solar requirement for new housing is another negative effect on the cost of housing. "","","","","","",I would like to build a home in Placer County but the permit fees are a tremendous hurtle to overcome. "","","","","","","Transportation needs to be reassessed. Shopping malls may decline. Where people go during a day may change." "","","","","","","Honestly, I think that high-speed internet should be considered a necessary public service and made a priority. The lack of internet options in our rural areas is a serious constraint on being able to work from home for many people, as well as for school. Even during non-pandemic times, it would make our area more attractive to businesses seeking to relocate here, assuming that some of their workers would work from home at least some of the time. " "","","","","","","Our community is being inundated with visitors like never before. I don't blame them for wanting to get away, but it's causing even more trash than ever and more crowded beaches. People are not wearing masks and are not maintaining social distance. North Tahoe/Truckee is going to get hit with a wave that our hospital is not equipped to deal with." "","","","","","",Help for those who can't make rent. We don't need to be making more people homeless. "","","","","","","If we were new parents/workers, Placer County has very little in the way of affordable housing!" "","","","","","","Our families have become stronger together, we need each other more than ever. Please allow more flexibility with our properties." "","","","","","",Special filtration systems for residents of buildings that share air conditioning systems. "","","","","","",Build more homes with front porches people can sit out on and visit with neighbors and not feel so isolated. "","","","","","","There will be even fewer houses that will be long term rentals due to pandemic " "","","","","","",Relaxation of some county policies to allow alternative building practices would help provide housing for low and middle income families who work here but cannot afford housing close to jobs. Families will be required to care for those with disabilities resulting from COVID 19. Alternative housing will help with this need.
