Public Comments and Responses
The City lacks affordable housing, including housing for seniors who can no longer
afford to live in the City. The former school site did not include any affordable
units.
i Need to attract young adults to move back to El Segundo. Housing costs are too
high. Need to provide opportunities for young adults to buy affordable housing.
i Should consider more housing on Rosecrans.
o Increasing density should consider how to alleviate gridlocks in traffic.
o Ensure affordable housing option includes the option to purchase.
Housing for teachers and first responders, and housing for the Air Force Base.
Support quality affordable housing.
