Dear Mayor [Name] and City Council members,
I'm writing to express my strong support for allowing missing middle housing options in Burlington's residential neighborhoods.
As a resident, I've seen firsthand how our housing crisis is affecting our community. Allowing duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes in single-family neighborhoods would create more affordable housing options while preserving neighborhood character.
I urge you to support zoning reforms that would make this possible. Thank you for considering my perspective on this important issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Burlington Resident
