City planners should focus more on building affordable housing in downtown, instead of urban sprawl.

@x-men69-96 17 күн бұрын

why? The landlords lobby the Democrat politicians. Why would they build more?

@churblefurbles 16 күн бұрын

No, because downtown TFR is basically extinction.

Affordable housing turns into Cabrini green style slums

Weekends, sharks games, and events at the tank are when downtown is packed with people, weekdays not so much. The camp they were talking about that was under 87 was no joke

Did not see any people on the sidewalks, no one walking around...

Oakland doesn’t give an urban vibe. More of a Mad Max vibe.

Nah. Not “Oakland doesn’t give an urban vibe.” Not “More of a Mad Max vibe.” /

And focus more on the safety for people that live in downtown sj (and all of San Jose). Look at helping the homeless and punish crime, like car break-ins in dtsj.

San Jose’s downtown isn’t as “urban “ as dtsf or dt Oakland you don’t have to worry about getting robbed or the business break-ins or ppl running out with half the merchandise in a Walgreens or Safeway etc .. it’s usually empty

I live in San Jose and have to be downtown for some of my management projects but I’m not as much of cheerleader as that commuter from Pleasanton. Good find.

San Jose is a suburb on steroids. Literally the only walkable and urban area is their small downtown. Their downtown would have higher skyscrapers if it wasn’t located near the airport

@mike7984 17 күн бұрын

This is fake news literally. Downtown San Jose has always been more popular due to its safety. Oakland and Hayward residents go there for a good time because their own city is so bad…

@MrDarthvis 13 күн бұрын

Yes, relatively safer than Oakland etc. but the crime and homelessness is still there in sj.

Downtown San Jose has always been empty ever since the Dotcom Crash. 🤣🤣

Downtown San Jose isn't a real city, it's more like Main Street USA in Disneyland, existing primarily as an artificial "downtown" to give tech bros places to eat lunch and hang out. If San Jose truly wants to "revitalize" communities, the obvious way to do this is to build *way* more light rail (and grade separate / give signal priority to the existing services) and eliminate zoning laws which gentrify the entire city.

@gabeabatecola5137 17 күн бұрын

Before just building more light rail there should be heavy focus on developing around the portion of the system thay already exists. It could be a great system with the proper approach to reevaluating the land use especially areas on first street north of civic center where the land use is empty office space that feels post apocalyptic. Sunnyvale and santa clara should also do the same around their portion of the light rail system.

@chasemartin4450 17 күн бұрын

@@gabeabatecola5137 The existing system definitely needs more development, but I don't think it could ever be a great system until an east-west link from eastside through downtown and up the peninsula is built...

@churblefurbles 16 күн бұрын

"revitalize" just means slumification, the gentrification is protection from the uncontrolled immigration.

Affordability/SALES/Convenience with options/ bring back downtown safeway/ clean the needey off the streets/ not difficult. When bart arrives.. most likely, the riftraft that plagues the bay will follow. Make the city more attractive. Bring in some tourist attractions and loose that art piece that looks like a poo poo at the corner of san carlos and market, The city deserves better the that. Cant run a city just off nightlife alone.
