Dear Editor:H.L. Julian used the words "American citizen" three times in her Letter to the Editor ("Affordable Housing's Negative Stigma," 5/15/09). Why isn't she assuming we're talking about American citizens? Because we can't assume. How will the developer she is proud to know make sure he only rents to American citizens? She says that California has a higher unemployment rate than many other states. Why California? How do we make sure that only American citizens are employed in California? Inviting people with "low income" to live on Downey Avenue will not improve safety or increase business in Downtown. - El Bee, Downey
