A
B
C
A
You
again
for
being
here
tonight:
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
us
off.
It's
typically
Lee's
job
to
do
that,
but
he's
running
a
little
late,
so
I'm
gonna
get
us
going
here,
and
then
we
have
members
of
the
city
here
as
well.
I'm
Dave
Javed,
again
good
to
see
you
all
I
wasn't
here
the
last
meeting,
but
I
heard
it
was
very
exciting.
A
Tonight's
agenda
welcome
introductions,
we're
doing
that
now,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
take
a
look
at
the
minutes
and
someone
to
make
a
motion
and
go
ahead
and
second
and
we
can
get
through
that
part
and
then
we're
gonna
go
through
summary
notes
like
we
always
do.
We're
gonna
give
you
a
quick
update
on
the
engagement
process
to
date.
What
we've
done,
what
we're
planning?
Yes,
you
up
to
speed
on
that
front
and
then
the
most
exciting
part
is
we're.
A
Just
a
quick
update
on
what
they've
been
working
on,
it's
not
going
to
be
a
full
report
out
we'll
have
that
later
in
the
process,
but
we
want
to
give
you
a
quick
snapshot
of
what's
been
discussed
in
that
group,
recognizing,
obviously
that
housing
is
a
key
topic
in
this
process
and
then
we'll
have
public
comment
as
always,
and
then
we'll
get
through
the
next
steps.
So
with
that
can
I
ask
someone
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting.
D
Neighborhood
Association
next
steps
and
as
the
regular
next
regular
meeting
date,
is
June
20th.
Instead
of
June
27th
public
comment,
item
five
actually
took
place
before
item
number
three,
not
after
and
to
a
certain
extent.
The
item
number
four
ignores
the
elephant
in
the
room
and
doesn't
mention
Wiley
adjourned
the
meeting
for
40
minutes.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
should
be
mentioned
as
part
of
the
minutes
as
well.
E
A
That
sorry,
for
the
errors,
anything
else
before
we
close
this
item.
No,
could
we
get
a
motion
with
those
edits
we'll
make
sure
we
make
them?
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
so,
on
we
go
to
group
agreements,
I'm
not
going
to
spend
too
much
time
on
these.
You
all
have
been
fantastic
and
very
respectful
with
each
other.
We
want
to
continue
that
flow
here
tonight,
a
quick
summary
and
takeaways
from
the
last
meeting.
A
Obviously
a
bulk
of
that
was
the
Google
presentation
and
you
all
had
some
great
feedback,
including
appreciating
the
early
vision
and
what's
possible
for
the
area
and
their
understanding
of
the
context.
You
felt
that
Google
listened
to
what
the
sagging
community
members
have
been
proposing
for
the
vision
of
mixed-use
development.
A
City's
role
in
creating
the
public
spaces
was
also
question
of
how
that
process
is
going
to
work
the
sale,
the
land
came
up
and
why
and
if
that
will
be
required
and
we'll
talk
about
that,
a
little
bit
as
we
go
here
and
the
project
should
acknowledge
the
history
of
immigration
in
the
area.
Guadalupe
River
Park
should
be
a
key
part.
Coogler
should
contribute
or
shall
continue
to
consider
how
to
expand
opportunities
for
retail
and
connections
between
employees
and
retail
businesses.
A
The
Santa
Clara
County
Water
District,
experienced
impacts
of
homelessness
should
be
considered,
and
there
was
a
question
of
when
this
AG
will
dig
deeper
into
the
housing
issues
which
we
will
be
starting
here
tonight.
So
any
questions
or
comments
for
key
takeaways
from
the
last
meeting
before
we
move
forward
hearing
none
I'm
gonna
hand
it
over
to
Lori
now
to
take
us
through
what
we've
done
thus
far.
H
Hi
everyone-
this
was
my
first
meeting
officially
as
the
in
charge.
So
of
course
the
food
isn't
here
and
the
PowerPoint
coffees
aren't
printed.
So
hopefully
they
will
be
here
soon.
It's
just
a
large
packet,
given
all
the
TED
talks,
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
save
a
little
paper
and
get
those
to
you.
So
apologies
with
that
we've
had
a
very
busy
month.
We've
had
ten
total
meetings
in
May
and
June
for
the
solution
groups.
You've
all
attended,
at
least
one
of
those.
H
So
you
know
what
they're
about
we
discussed
issues
and
brainstorm
lists
of
potential
solutions.
Most
groups
are
going
to
do
some
type
of
prioritization
exercise
before
the
full
report
back
I'm.
So
at
the
end
of
this
meeting,
we'll
go
over
the
next
few
advanced
group
meeting
agendas
and
talk
about
when
those
report
backs
will
be,
but
staff
is
working
on
those
getting
the
meeting
summaries
from
the
second
rounds
back
to
you
all
and
working
on
the
prioritization.
H
So
we
also
held
two
walking
tours
on
Saturday
the
19th
and
the
30th
of
May.
They
were
pretty
well
attended
about
25
to
30
people.
It
was
a
great
opportunity
to
get
to
see
the
area
in
person
and
talk
to
Bill
a
Kern,
our
dear
Don
Station
project
manager,
so
we
just
told
for
community
forums
over
the
last
week.
It
was
very
exciting.
A
very
well
attended,
great
energy,
a
lot
of
passion,
thoughtful
feedback.
H
We
did
small
group
discussions
where
we
were
able
to
take
notes
on
flip
charts.
So
we
will
be
posting
those
notes
to
the
website
typing
up
all
of
the
comments
of
analyzing
and
summarizing
the
feedback
from
them
and
posting
that
all
on
the
website
and,
of
course,
sending
that
around
to
all
of
you
to
read
so
I
hope
you
take
the
time
to
look
through
that.
H
I
H
Okay,
so
we've
held
a
couple
pop-up
workshops,
one
at
on
June
6
at
the
spur
annual
party
and
June
16th
at
dancing
on
the
Avenue
in
Willow
Glen.
So
we
had
a
couple
boards
up,
one
with
information
and
one
for
people
to
take
sticky
notes
and
write
their
thoughts.
We
have
the
same
three
buckets
that
we've
been
going
over
in
solution
group
meetings,
so
hopes
and
visions
concerns
and
shoes
and
ideas
or
solutions.
H
H
You
know
text
3,
4,
9,
dear
sorry,
text
dear
it
on
to
this
code
and
it'll
engage
you
in
a
text
survey.
So
it's
a
good
way
to
get
quick
feedback
from
a
lot
of
different
people,
especially
people
who
don't
want
to
or
can't
attend
public
meetings
and
like
to
engage
electronically.
So
look
for
more
information
on
that
soon.
H
J
So,
relative
to
the
I'm
sorry
I'm
bill
sailors
from
the
downtown
residents
association
relative
to
the
stakeholder
groups.
The
community
forums
were
held
all
outside
of
the
core
I
represent
the
downtown
community
groups,
I
had
a
conversation
with
Dave
actually
about
conducting
those
but
having
us
organize
them
and
invite
you,
rather
than
vice-versa,
I
understand
that
you're
also
thinking
about
focus
group
kinds
of
activities
similar
to
the
community
groups.
Yes,.
H
H
H
Haven't
thought
about
a
deadline?
It's
somewhat
of
an
ongoing
thing,
but,
as
you
all
know,
the
goal
for
this
process
is
to
end
with
a
comprehensive
report
in
September
the
documents
all
of
your
feedback
and
all
of
the
other
feedback
we've
been
getting
so
with
that
I
would
say
on.
August
would
be
a
good
time
to
plan
that
or
late
July.
Okay,.
H
H
A
All
right,
so
the
food
has
arrived
so
I'm
gonna
ask
you
off.
You
want
to
grab
who
to
go
ahead
and
do
that
now.
The
next
step
in
the
process
is
through
the
TED
Talks
and
as
we
get
people
up
front
and
get
a
TED
Talks
ready,
if
you
want
to
grab
some
food,
definitely
feel
free
to
do
so,
and
this
is
the
order
of
the
TED
Talks
tonight,
we're
gonna
start
with
Edward
Teresa
and
Nicole
Charlie
and
Jonathan.
B
A
B
F
D
Right
good
evening,
everybody
I
will
do
my
very
best
to
go
against
type
and
be
brief,
doesn't
come
easily
to
me.
My
name
is
Edward
salma
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Shasta
henschel
Park,
Neighborhood
Association,
and,
at
the
same
time
I
am
the
current
chair
of
the
city's
Historic
Landmarks
Commission
and
a
bicycle
commuter
that
rides
to
dirt
on
every
day,
so
I'm
bringing
all
those
together.
The
topic
that
I
chose
was
the
historic
preservation
resources
within
their
Deardon
station
area
and
the
immediate
adjacencies
start
simple.
D
Why
is
historic,
preservation,
important
a
development
that
is
truly
part
of
its
context
rather
than
just
placed
within
it,
must
acknowledge
the
community's
unique
architectural
and
cultural
heritage.
We've
said
that,
in
a
variety
of
ways
that
we
don't
want
this
project
to
look
like
something
that
was
designed
in
a
vacuum
and
just
happened
to
be
occupying
this
land
that
it
should
be
an
outgrowth
of
it
and
reflect
both
the
physical
and
cultural
history
there.
D
In
previous
developments,
google
has
emphasized
its
commitment
to
quality
and
innovation
in
workplace
design
and
sustainability
and
then
legally,
obviously,
the
California,
Environmental,
Quality,
Act
or
sequel
includes
historical
resources,
building
structures
or
archaeological
resources
as
part
of
the
environment,
making
them
subject
to
review
as
part
of
any
proposals.
Environmental
impact
analysis
at
this
point
I'll
thank
both
Matthew
and
Lori
for
sharing
some
of
the
GIS
data
that
they
had
put
together:
local
historic
resources.
The
near
town
station
area
includes
34
properties
listed
on
the
city
of
San
Jose
historic
resources.
D
Now
that
being
said,
there
is
a
variety
of
levels
of
protection,
and
that
was
one
thing
that
I
wanted
to
cover
to
show
that
this
isn't
a
simple
topic.
There
are
multiple
different
aspects
to
consider
so
here
in
the
background
with
a
1920's
1930's
rendering
of
the
san
jose
water
company
with
is
very
close
to
the
affected
area.
D
I
found
pictures
from
the
40s
food
today
lots
of
documentation
on
a
fact
when
it
was
the
Southern
Pacific
Depot
Foreman's
arena
is
National
Register
eligible
the
eligible,
often
triggers
additional
review
when
a
proposed
project
comes
forward,
but
it
does
not
guarantee
protection
in
any
way
shape
or
form
it,
as
essentially
another
level
of
consideration,
and
this
data
was
actually
created
when
the
original
deer
town
station
area
plan
was
done.
So
the
KNTV
building
was
included
that
obviously,
as
we
know,
was
destroyed
by
fire
in
2014.
D
Here's
an
example
of
something
that
was
California
Register
eligible
that
was
not
protected
and,
unfortunately,
through
unfortunate,
was
destroyed,
city,
historical
landmark
districts,
both
within
the
bureau
non-stationary
and
immediately
adjacent
to
it.
There
are
a
number
there's:
the
Alameda
City
Landmark
District,
which
is
the
right-of-way
itself,
the
river
street
city
landmark
district.
What
most
of
us
now
know
is
Little
Italy,
which
is
actually
a
city
landmark
district,
so
both
the
district
and
the
individual
buildings
within
it
have
substantial
protections.
D
Well,
the
main
things
I
wanted
to
mention
was
under
protected
cultural
resources,
which
kind
of
is
one
of
the
reasons
we're
all
here:
the
resources,
whether
it's
built,
whether
it's
culture,
whether
its
history,
that
without
some
awareness
could
get
destroyed,
it
could
get
left
behind.
We've
had
conversations
about.
Obviously
the
Stephens
meets
sign,
which
has
no
protections
whatsoever.
It
is
all
contingent
upon
the
ownership
of
the
land
that
it's
on
and
Google
in
a
package
a
hopefully
coming
to
an
agreement.
D
This
is
a
Trammell
Crowe
project
that
was
approved
under
some
previous
entitlements,
which
is
I,
believe
a
million
square
feet
of
office
and
number
of
residential
units,
which
there
are
some
lessons
to
be
learned.
We
did
gusted
in
the
parts
we
discussed
in
land
use
and
design.
This
is
the
level,
but
this
is
one
ninth
of
the
proposed
office
space
that
Google
might
need
in
a
development
that
spans
two
city
blocks.
So
this
shows
us
the
scope
of
some
of
what
we're
dealing
with
and
an
opportunity
here.
You
can
see
the
creek
Dale
added.
D
You
can
see
the
water
company
additional
sources
of
information
package,
as
I
mentioned,
is
a
fantastic
resource.
The
great
408
that
Sal,
Pizarro
and
others
have
pushed
is
a
great
source
of
information
for
things
about
San
Jose
that
should
be
preserved
and
incorporated.
The
mid-century
context
statement
looking
at
buildings
from
the
mid-century
that
now
should
be
considered
historic
as
we
move
forward
and
thankfully
now
the
city
has
a
grant.
D
A
I
The
foundation
of
our
work
is
urban
policy,
research
and
expertise,
though
this
report
is
the
first
one
that
we
did
when
we
opened
our
San
Jose
office
is
called
getting
to
great
places
and
it
identified
the
impediments
and
made
recommendations
for
creating
walkable
and
bikable
people
first
urban
places
in
San
Jose.
The
second
report
that
we
published
in
support
of
our
San
Jose
work
was
called
the
future
of
downtown
San
Jose,
and
that
was
in
2014.
I
We
believe
that
a
great
city
begins
and
it's
down
it's
usually
the
place
with
the
greatest
density
and
downtown,
really
sets
the
tone
for
a
city
and
is
the
primary
public
expression
of
its
identity.
So
you
can
find
both
of
those
reports
on
our
website
and
we
really
believe
that,
since
planning
affects
oops
there
we
go
since
planning
affects
everyone
that
everyone
should
be
involved
in
planning.
We
were
early
promoters
of
community
engagement
in
planning.
This
was
our
brochure
in
1947.
I
It
says
this:
is
your
city
help
shape
it
so,
and
we
have
lots
of
convenings
and
engagement
events.
You
can
check
our
website
for
the
schedule
which
is
listed.
There.
We've
also
been
a
leading
voice
on
the
transformation
of
dear
Don
San
Jose
Central
Station.
You
heard
at
a
previous
meeting
about
the
study
tour
to
Europe
that
we
organized
last
summer
that
has
helped
to
inform
the
thinking
about
the
station
and
is
having
a
lasting
impact
on
how
the
partner
agencies
are
collaborating.
I
I
Finally,
this
article
from
the
Atlantic
last
year
really
speaks
to
me.
It
says
the
place
where
the
poor
once
thrived
I
was
born
and
raised.
On
the
east
side.
My
parents
divorced
when
I
was
four
and
my
mom
was
on
welfare
for
a
time
raising
five
kids
but
I
had
access
to
great
schools.
My
family
members
owned
homes
when
I
graduated
from
high
school
I
worked
at
Atari
and
Rome
and
NASA
Ames
Research
Center.
That's
what
I
want
to
make
possible
for
the
next
generation
and
that's
really.
What
drives
me?
I
Roughly
forty
percent
of
the
non
tech
work
is
for
professionals
like
lawyers,
doctors
and
architects,
and
the
remaining
60%
are
non-professional
quote.
The
labor
market
is
a
tide
that
lifts
most
boats
with
one
big
issue:
the
cost
of
living.
So
that's
because,
while
there
are
more
jobs
across
the
spectrum
and
generally
rising
wages,
the
housing
supply
doesn't
keep
up.
He
said
that
tech
city
should
accommodate
as
many
housing
units
as
possible,
especially
with
transit.
I
So
we
need
to
keep
that
in
mind,
as
we
think
about
the
broader
240
acres
in
the
dirt
on
station
area
and,
secondly,
the
educational
and
economic
pipeline.
We
have
a
target
the
opening
of
Google's
offices
in
San
Jose.
If
it
happens,
let's
collaborate
on
making
sure
that
we
have
a
pipeline
for
any
of
the
direct
and
indirect
jobs
that
are
created
by
this
project
and
provide
our
residents
with
the
opportunities
of
their
dreams.
Then
we
will
earn
our
name
as
the
richest
city,
the
country.
Thank
you.
L
G
After
google's
last
presentation,
I
decided
to
change
my
presentation
because
they
really
did
address
all
of
ideas
in
which
the
stake
holders
on
the
alameda
had,
which
was
equity
in
design,
making
sure
that
you
know
there
was
accessibility
and
that
google
wouldn't
just
be
an
office
building,
but
it
would
have
mixed
use
and
be
a
24
hours
kind
of
area.
So
I
was
looking
for
topics,
and
one
thing
that
I
think
is
underrepresented
on
this
community
board
is
young
people.
I
am
a
person
in
my
20s
and
I.
G
G
G
Housing
is
usually
the
greatest
asset
that
a
parent
can
pass
on
to
their
progeny
and
it's
hard
to
believe
that
up
until
the
1970s
home
builders
in
the
Bay
Area
we're
turning
out
homes
for
30
or
40
K,
each,
which
was
at
a
similar
price
point
as
the
rest
of
the
country,
but
where
we
know
mm40
1.5%
of
San
Jose's
renters
are
rent
burden
missus
study
by
NYU.
This
is
not
rent
uncomfortable.
G
G
A
night
as
with
rideshare
I
still
can,
if
I
find
an
affordable
room
here
there
were
times
when,
after
working
a
thirteen
hour
day,
I
was
too
tired
to
drive
to
San
Francisco
to
sleep
on
my
friend's
couch,
so
I
slept
in
my
car.
This
is
a
crisis,
that's
true
and
serve
the
people.
San
Jose
have
a
point,
but
who
is
responsible.
G
It
is
the
city
not
Google.
This
is
the
city's
responsibility.
The
cities
function
and
responsibility
is
to
promote
the
general
where
welfare
of
its
community-
and
it
has
been
failing
us
for
too
long
San
Jose
has
been
saying.
Yes,
housing
is
a
problem,
but
what
are
neighbors
to
the
north
doing,
instead
of
looking
at
the
issue
head-on
and
taking
action,
the
thing
is:
San.
Jose
really
is
a
leader.
The
two
small
neighboring
cities
I
have
worked
for
that
are
close
to
San.
Jose
have
always
looked
to
San
Jose
to
chart
the
course.
G
So
when
San
Jose
is
saying
it's
more,
the
other
guy's
fault,
the
cities
around
the
region
will
follow
suit,
but
in
fairness,
San
Jose
is
coming
along.
In
fact,
this
past
month,
City
Council
finally
passed
an
affordable
housing
focus
budget,
but
until
the
pendulum
starts
to
swing
back
to
the
people,
there
is
going
to
be
protesting,
and
rightfully
so
you
know,
Google
can
board,
afford,
build,
affordable,
see
and
I
think
they
should,
but
it
will
be
a
drop
in
the
much
needed
bucket.
G
The
city
needs
to
start
asking
questions
instead
of
what
the
market
can
bear
and
used
to
ask
what
developers
can
bear
how
many
affordable
units
can
a
project
bear
how
many
rent
controlled
low-income
units
can
a
development
bear
and
residents
need
to
start
saying
yes
in
my
backyard
and
find
a
way
to
support
new
development,
we
all
need
to
do
more.
Thank
you.
M
Well
done
Nicole
nice
job,
my
name
is
Charlie
Fossum,
the
vice
president
for
admin
and
Finance
at
San,
Jose,
State,
University
and
so
show
of
hands
who
went
to
San
Jose,
State
University,
who
and
their
family
went
to
San
Jose
State
has
a
family
member.
They
went
to
San
Jose
State,
University,
San,
Jose,
State
University
is
our
University.
M
M
Every
graduate
walked
across
the
stage
and
we
did.
We
moved
our
graduations
over
to
Avaya.
For
the
most
part
they
walked
across
the
stage
had
their
hands
shaken
by
the
president.
The
provost
had
their
picture
up
had
their
name
pronounced
appropriately
as
they
walked
and
got
their
diploma.
They
were
recognized.
M
At
large.
We
have
about
thirty
four
thousand
students.
We
are
the
largest
landholder
in
this
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
the
downtown
area.
We
are
the
largest
employer
in
the
downtown
area.
We
have
160
acres
of
land
in
downtown
San
Jose.
We
have
you
know.
Besides
the
34,000
students,
we
have
5,000
faculty
and
staff.
M
So
when
we're
talking
about
things
going
on
in
the
downtown,
you
know
every
day,
or
at
least
Monday
through
Thursdays,
when
we're
teaching
40,000
people
are
on
our
campus
and
lots
of
you
cut
through
our
campus
on
a
regular
basis
and
you're
welcome
on
our
campus
anytime
to
walk
your
dogs
fleas
on
a
leash,
but
you
know
be
part
of
our
campus,
be
part
of
our
activities.
We're
gonna
do
a
better
job
of
putting
calendars
out,
so
you
can
see
our
activities
that
we
have
going
on
a
couple.
M
We
built
a
lot
of
new
facilities
in
the
past
couple
years,
for
students
come
on.
Our
campus
enjoy
a
lunch,
our
Student
Union.
We
have
lots
of
you,
know
Panda,
Express
and
Taco
Bell,
and
you
know
Steak
and
Shake.
You
know
on
our
campus
that
your
anybody
is
welcome
to
city
hall.
Folks
come
over
all
the
time
we
have
a
new,
state-of-the-art
science
building
we
just
got
approved
today.
That's
gonna
be
built
starting.
We
brick
round
next
summer,
eight
story
building
just
off
of
San
Carlos
and
fourth
Street.
M
M
This
is
gonna,
be
state-of-the-art,
sticky,
building
where
we're
gonna
get
people's
our
students
to
stay
on
campus
longer,
rather
than
just
go
into
classes,
they
can
work
out,
they
can
go
to
our
Student
Union
go
to
the
library,
so
it
gives
more
stickiness
to
our
campus,
but
the
other
things
that
we're
concerned
about
you
know
that
Nicole
was
bringing
you
up.
It's
housing.
You
know
we
have
massive
problems
with
our
students.
We
have
4,000
beds
on
our
campus,
that's
not
enough.
M
A
L
All
right,
well,
I'm,
not
gonna,
read
that
I'll.
Let
you
guys
read
that
I've
been
quietly
listening
to
everybody
on
this
advisory
group
and
some
of
the
people
in
audience,
and
just
taking
note
of
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
said.
My
presentation,
Nova,
is
obviously
on
gentrification,
but
some
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
here
have
really
bothered
me
quite
a
bit.
L
That's
quite
diverse
people
of
color
minorities
in
Hispanics,
so
I
don't
want
any
here
at
gentrification
is
going
to
change
my
neighborhood
if
it
is,
if
anything,
it's
doing
just
what
it's
supposed
to
do.
It's
the
most
diverse
neighborhood
in
the
entire
city,
and
so
I'm
really
upset
by
that
there
was
a
study
done
and
published
by
UC
Berkeley
in
UCLA
in
2015,
and
it
actually
mentioned
the
Dehradun
area
as
a
niche,
an
area
that's
going
through
gentrification
in
this
it
concluded
and
listen
carefully.
It
benefited
educated,
blacks
and
Hispanics.
Most
benefited
most.
L
So
really
want
you
to
understand
that
this
is
my
neighborhood
I
live
there
I'm
close
I'm,
Ground,
Zero
I
know
what's
going
on
in
my
neighborhood,
so
we'll
do
that.
There
was
a
couple
other
things
that
have
been
mentioned.
We
still
have
a
long
ways
to
go
with
with
the
neighborhood
there's
still
quite
a
lot
of
blight.
That
needs
to
be
taken
care
of
when
I
first
moved
into
Georgetown.
L
You
know
there
were
hookers
in
front
of
the
Flamingo
and
there
was
drug
deals
going
down
at
Motel,
6
and
NBC
11
studio
burned
down,
I
mean
it
was
it's
been
a
challenge
and
you
know
Georgetown
has
been
part
of
the
gentrification
and
then
I
am
the
face
of
gentrification
and
it's
not
a
bad
thing.
As
you
just
read,
you
know
we
still
have
a
long
ways
to
go:
there's
there's
some
new
development
going
down
on
San,
Carlos
and,
of
course,
with
this
Google
project.
L
It's
going
to
change
the
other
side
of
the
tracks,
just
as
well
I'm,
really
looking
forward
to
it.
I've
been
in
this
neighborhood
for
25
years,
so
I
know
it
well,
we
have
lots
of
low
income
housing
I'll.
Let
you
just
read
that,
and
we've
been
talking
about
housing
here
with
the
people
sitting
next
to
me-
and
it's
like
we've
heard
it
many
times
throughout
here,
but
we're
okay.
L
We've
got
a
lot
of
low-income
housing,
but
what
we
really
do
need
is
more
housing
for
people
like
me:
I'm
not
rich,
I'm
upper-middle
class
at
best,
and
we
need
more
housing
for
people
like
that.
Right
now
we
have
a
housing
project
going
in
and
we
have
an
SR
coming
SRO
coming
in
that's
a
single
room
occupancy,
so
we've
got
projects
going
in
for
a
long
come
housing.
What
we
need
is
more
housing
for
us.
Somebody
also
mentioned
that
parks.
We
don't
have
enough
parks
in
this
area.
L
L
Economics
my
degree
is
in
economics,
I
have
a
master's
degree
in
economics
and
you
can
read
that
and
go
with
it.
But
the
bottom
line
here
is
that
there's
a
lack
of
supply
and
there's
demand
it's
pretty
simple.
But
what
creates
that
we're?
The
10th
largest
city
in
the
United
States,
the
third
largest
city
in
California
number,
one
largest
city
in
the
Bay
Area,
the
six
safest
in
America
and
the
wealthiest
city
in
the
United
States.
L
It
all
comes
down
to
supply
and
demand.
So
my
suggestions
are
go
higher
on
all
along
the
transit
lines.
If
you
think
six
stories
is
high,
you're
wrong
and
he's
going
to
double
that,
sadly,
to
say,
I
was
on
the
ship,
not
bored
when
we
were
fighting.
The
aloni
project
is
being
too
high.
I
regret
that
now
it
should
have
been
twice
as
high
so
supply.
You
have
to
build
it,
and
these
are
some
of
the
areas.
I
think
that
would
really
benefit
housing.
L
Oh
yeah,
you
might
get
displaced
out
of
the
Georgetown
area
or
the
you
know
the
dura
dawn
station
area,
but
build
it
high.
So
it
gives
incentives
for
people
to
build
more
units
and
affordable
pieces
within
it.
So
if
you
can
get
it
Barry
Swenson
to
go
up
20
stories,
he
might
designate
10%
of
that
as
low-income.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much
Jonathan.
So
with
that
we're
now
gonna
open
it
up
to
discussion
with
the
overall
SOG
and
I'm
gonna
remind
you.
If
you
can,
please
flip
your
name
plates
vertically
and
I
can
call
on
you.
That
would
be
great
if
you
have
any
questions
for
the
group.
Let's
first
start
off
by
giving
everyone
a
big
hand,
that
was.
A
N
William
minority
business
consortium
I'm
concerned
about
the
Jonathan
you
and
Alan,
wouldn't
a
coal
you
you
gave
us
two
different
looks
at
what
we're
dealing
with
here.
We
are
challenged.
We
know
how
gentrification
and
and
and
all
the
issues
that's
happening
with.
Housing
is
happening
in
cities
all
around
the
country
and
I'm.
Sorry,
I
missed
our
last
meeting,
but
I
think
the
challenge
around
this
table
is
for
us
to
come
up
with
a
way
that
people
that
work
in
this
college
professors,
people
working
on
San,
Jose
State.
N
N
We
have
got
to
figure
out
how
to
make
housing
a
real
thing
and
young
people
are
not
living
in
their
cars
and
yes,
our
economy
and
and
and
the
organic
thing
that's
happening
in
America
is
richer.
People
are
moving
into
city,
centers
and
poorer
people
are
moving
far
away
from
city
centers,
and
somebody
said
that
the
center
city
center
is
a
lot
more
important.
That's
a
lot
more
hollow
to
ground
and
therefore
what
this
is
happening.
N
We
have
got
to
come
up
with
a
way
to
change
that
we
cannot
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
be
part
of
a
system.
That's
gonna
allow
people
to
be
continually
sleeping
on
the
streets
and
young
people
sleeping
in
cars.
They
have
full-time
jobs
and
professors
at
San,
Jose
State
that
can't
live
in
the
town.
They
can't
live
across
the
street
from
where
they
work,
because
it's
too
rich
I'm
sitting
here,
because
I
think
we
are
up
for
the
challenge
and
I
hope
we
are
I
like
the
idea
of
building
20
storeys.
N
If
we
can,
let's
move
this
city
to
build.
20
storeys
I
agree
with
that,
because
we
need
more
housing
than
we
have
and
finding
a
sweet
spot
for
the
developer
is
not
beyond
us.
We
can
find
a
sweet
spot
for
the
developer
and
then
have
somewhere
for
people
to
live.
My
children
don't
live
in
San
Jose
right
and
they
are
all
college
educated.
N
So
we
let's
take
this
challenge.
Let's
don't
just
bury
our
head
in
the
sand
because
forty
years
from
now
fifty
years
from
now
the
work
that
we
do
here
could
change
the
country
and
that's
why
I
said
here:
cuz
I
said:
let's
take
this
challenge
on
I
think
we
should
be
able
to
do
it.
I
just
needed
to
say
that
after
Nicole
and
your
last
presentation
thank.
A
O
Buchanan
with
working
partnerships
USA
just
a
couple
of
things
Jonathan
to
your
point,
I
appreciate
the
presentation
but
I
think
it's
just
important
to
note.
While
there
there
may
be
within
your
neighborhood
a
number
of
affordable
housing
developments
as
a
city,
we
continue
to
not
meet
our
goals.
The
fact
that
we've
only
met
7%
of
our
affordable
housing
production
goals
as
a
city
while
we've
well
exceeded
our
market
rate
housing
goals
under
the
arena
process.
O
I
think
it
speaks
a
lot
about
the
the
limitations
of
just
building
higher,
without
a
focus
on
affordability
and
and
similarly
I
would
also
just
push
back
and
don't
have
this
really
in
my
presentation,
I'm
wishing
it
would
have
spent
this
morning
working
on
an
analysis.
You
know
what
has
the
rise
of
the
tech
economy
been
like
for
different
parts
of
the
economic
strata
here
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
to
your
point,
Teresa,
certainly,
you
know
dr.
O
Moretti's
research
shows
the
job
creation
that
comes
from
tax
growth,
but
when
it
comes
to
wages,
I
don't
think
we
can
say
that
wage
growth
has
been
evenly
shared,
particularly
for
low-wage
workers
and
I.
Don't
think
we
can
really
even
say
that
tech
growth
has
been
a
particular
high
quality
jobs
in
increasing
wages.
I
think
we've
seen
here
as
tech
has
grown
in
San
Jose,
the
fastest
growing
segments
of
our
job
market
are
low-wage
jobs
and
actually
the
distribution
of
jobs
over
the
last
15
years.
O
After
you
figure
in
the
rising
cost
of
rents,
their
incomes
have
gone
down
by
20
percent,
20
percent
for
service
workers
25%
for
blue-collar
workers.
So
I
don't
think
we
can
say
that
the
the
the
tech
growth
has
led
to
wage
growth
or
that
it's
been
broadly
shared
I
think
we
really
got
to
dig
in
at
what
that
looks
like,
as
this
committee
considers,
how
we,
how
we
work
together
around
this
project,
Thank.
B
Thank
you
very
well.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
two
issues:
Jonathan
and
Nicole,
Oh
Harvey,
Darnell
North
will
gun
Neighborhood
Association
and
someone
who's
been
doing
this
tear
down
the
area
for
well
over
a
decade,
one
of
the
issues
that
Jonathan
mentioned
tall
buildings.
Well,
one
of
the
issues
that
we
have
is
the
Oei
one
engine
inoperative
that
limits
the
area
to
about
10
stories.
B
L
B
Open
up
not
only
more
housing
opportunities
and
mixed-use
opportunities,
but
also
keep
us
from
having
a
footprint
where
it's
just
nothing
but
solid
buildings
and
no
open
space.
So
that's
first
thing:
second
thing
is
I've
been
dealing
with
low-income
housing
forever,
I'm
not
forever,
but
since
2001,
and
what
I
have
discovered
is
that
there
are
very
few
builders
and
developers
that
are
willing
to
do
mixed
income,
housing
that
are
willing
to
do
even
a
preponderance
of
market
rate
housing
and
create
anything
more
than
affordable
housing,
which
is
affordable.
B
120
thousand
dollars
a
year,
what
we
need
is
voi,
very
low
income,
extremely
low
income,
Li
and
Li
low
income
and
I've
forgotten
what
the
exact
numbers
are,
but
they're
in
the
30,
40,
50,
60
thousand
dollar
range,
which
are
all
the
support
workers
for
all
these
things
that
are
coming
along.
Nobody
has
wanted
and
I've
been
to
multiple
developments.
B
For
example,
VTA
is
developing
over
by
Damien
station
and
they
are
doing
in
a
market
rate
and
they're
doing
something
that
is
more
affordable
and
includes
some
I
think
Eli
and
V
Li,
but
they
would
not
consider
it
together.
I
think
that
is
discriminatory.
I
think
that
we
should
find
a
way
to
find
some
partners
who
are
willing
to
mix
everybody
together
so
that
we
don't
have
areas
that
are
clearly
marked.
You
are
a
low-income
person,
you're
less
than
you
were
a
less
than
community
member.
L
Yeah
I
only
had
four
minutes
to
do
my
presentation,
in
other
words,
I,
would
have
addressed
a
lot
of
that
stuff
Harvey.
This
is
just
like
any
other
pockets
of
San
Jose.
You've
got
very
nice.
Neighborhoods
Willow,
Glen,
very
expensive
place
to
live
Rose
Garden,
Silver,
Creek,
Almaden
Valley
I
mean
those
are
highly
sought
after
places
to
live.
L
L
Nice
neighborhood,
we'll
look
lens
is
very
nice,
but
I
can't
afford
it.
So
I
live
where
I
can,
and
so
what
I'm
suggesting
is
is
that
not
everybody's
gonna
be
able
to
live
in
this
area
once
it
gets
developed
in
gentrified,
but
it's
gonna
happen.
So
what
you
do
is
you
start
looking
towards
the
east,
where
there's
more
land,
more
a
you're,
more
able
to
go
up
higher
because
there's
no
in
one
engine
out
problem
so
places
like
East
Ridge.
You
could
build
really
tall
buildings
over
there.
L
The
you
know
the
berry
has
a
flea
market
area.
You
know
start
building
in
there
and
that
gives
people
like
berry,
sweats
and
a
chance
to
add
more
affordable
housing
to
that
and
that's
what
you
do
it's
supply
and
demand
and
then,
in
terms
of
Jeffery's
comments,
I
I
know
you
do
your
research
I
would
highly
recommend
you
look
at
that
that
study
by
UC,
Berkeley
and
UCLA.
N
A
A
P
So
gonna
talk
about
a
familiar
topic
to
all
of
you.
Gentrification
and
displacement
gentrification
been
defined
today,
but
I'll
define
it
again.
It's
a
process
of
a
neighborhood
change
that
includes
economic
change
when
higher
income
residents
move
in
and
a
demographic
change
where
it
usually
ends
up
with
people
being
less
what
the
community
being
less
diverse.
P
Unless
there
are
interventions
that
allow
for
what
we
call
equitable
revitalization,
where
we
revitalized
a
community
without
displacement
and
displacement
occurs
when
a
household
is
forced
to
move
from
its
residence
unball,
not
voluntarily,
so
because
of
rising
rents
or
because
of
evictions,
and
for
the
past
few
years
at
the
Law
Foundation
we've
seen
a
huge
rise
in
displacement.
We've
seen
a
rise
in
the
number
of
evictions
that
have
happening
we're
so
we've
seen
entire
buildings
being
displaced,
entire
mobile
home
parks,
being
displaced
people
being
forced
out.
P
That's
just
the
reality
of
what
we're
seeing
and
displacement
is
not
a
good
thing.
It's
more
than
just
people
being
forced
to
move
out.
There
are
serious
consequences
to
a
community
from
displacement
there.
Studies
that
show
health
are
affected.
Health
is
affected
their
studies
that
show
every
time
a
kid
moves.
Their
educational
achievement
actually
drops
and
there's
a
famous
book,
evicted
I'm
sure
many
of
you
have
seen
it.
If
you
haven't
read
it,
you
should
you
should
read
it
I
always
say:
I
haven't,
read
it,
but
it's
basically,
my
life
evictions
cause
job
loss.
P
Stress,
there's,
there's
so
many
negative
consequences
for
from
eviction.
This
is
a
slide
from
the
UC
Berkeley
study.
That's
been
mentioned
here
before
that
talks
about
San,
Jose
being
in
advanced
stages,
a
lot
of
San
Jose,
either
being
in
advanced
stages
of
displacement
or
actually
experiencing
gentrification.
This
is
data
from
the
Law
Foundation
itself.
This
is
who
we're
seeing
on
a
daily
basis.
P
We
started
asking
people
who
are
facing
eviction
what
about
themselves
and
we
get
to
200
to
300
calls
a
month
about
people
facing
from
people
facing
eviction,
50
percent
of
living
in
this
community
for
31
years
or
longer
40%.
We
are
set
our
severely
rent
burden,
which
means
they
spend
close
to
70%
of
their
income
on
rent.
P
This
is
a
public
health
statistic:
that's
used
to
kind
of
gauge
mental
health
in
communities
either
who
don't
have
access
to
mental
health
services
or
who
have
stigma
around
mental
health,
and
it
shows
that
seventy-seven
and
when
we
asked
this
question
77%
of
the
people
who
responded
have
said
that
yes,
there,
they
felt
that
way
in
the
last
14
days
or
more.
So
this
is
what
displacement
really
does
to
community.
Imagine
being
here
for
31
years
have
been
trying
to
find
another
place
to
live.
It's
it's.
It's
really
difficult.
P
Other
communities
have
done
things
when
massive
development
has
come
in
to
try
to
mitigate
displacement,
an
affordable
housing
fund
Facebook
when,
with
their
expansion,
set
up
an
affordable
housing
fund,
there's
a
sometimes
communities
get
a
community
benefits
agreement,
whether
it's
a
set-aside
for
a
certain
percentage
of
housing
built
as
a
four
full
funding.
Nonprofit
legal
services.
Facebook
did
this
with
their
expansion
supporting
anti
displacement
policies.
Q
I'm
not
really.
Okay,
there
is
a
video
thing,
I'm,
not
sure
how
to
do
it,
but
I
grew
up
on
the
ocean,
and
so
I
was
always
been
interested
in
waves
and
how
waves
kind
of
hit
the
shore
and
what
makes
away
big,
and
so
you
have
energy
that
initiates
a
wave
deep
in
the
ocean
and
it
moves
as
the
energy
moves
towards
a
shore.
Q
The
waves
you
created,
because
the
landscape
underneath
the
water
is
rising
so
Mavericks,
which
is
close
to
my
house,
is,
is
it
because
it's
a
giant
cliff
that
rises
up
out
of
the
ocean
and
the
waves
just
get
very
high
there?
San
Jose
is
kind
of
like
that:
bowl
of
water
or
a
giant
basin
of
water.
The
waves
hit
the
margins
quite
strong
Eastside
San
Jose
is
literally
on
the
margin
of
San
Jose.
Q
It
is
home
to
people
from
Mexico
Vietnam,
the
Philippines
India
and
dozens
of
other
countries
in
the
East
Side
is
one
of
San
Jose's,
most
vibrant
and
diverse
communities,
and
it
is
also
home
to
the
region's
most
affordable
housing
stock.
Most
of
the
people
in
East
San
Jose
community
are
not
by
and
large
the
CEOs,
the
CFOs
or
anyone
with
a
three-letter
acronym
or
a
six-figure
salary.
They
are
the
tech
industry
adjacent
workers.
Q
They
are
janitors
gardeners,
hospitality
workers
for
tech
companies,
they
are
also
teachers,
social
service
and
construction
workers,
and
many
work
in
the
hospitality
and
food
service.
The
essential
workers
that
make
Silicon
Valley
work,
they're
real
people,
Ruby
lives
and
works
in
the
cafeteria
at
Facebook,
Fernando
and
Jaime,
live
by
Saint
Maria
Goretti
parish.
Their
brothers,
who
work
in
construction
and
nearby
Daisy
and
Rubin
are
raising
their
children,
who
are
excellent.
Students
and
I
hope
that
one
day
their
kids
will
work
in
tech
companies
and
Daisy
and
and
Rubin
will
work.
Q
Q
In
2017
it
rose
to
544
thousand
in
2018.
We
expect
an
even
steeper
increase.
The
estimated
household
medium
income
is
53,000.
Keep
in
mind
that
income
is
a
combination
of
several
people
working
in
multiple
jobs
for
those
who
live
on
the
east
side,
people
will
not
be
able
to
keep
up
with
the
rising
rent
and
house
of
caught
the
rising
rent
and
cost
of
housing.
Some
will
inevitably
move
away,
but
most
will
triple
and
quadruple
up
in
a
home
and
apartment,
others
will
live
in
vehicles
or
a
friend's
couch
or
on
the
streets.
Q
When
a
large
diffusion
of
wealth
and
infrastructure
drops
into
the
the
very
shallow
basin
of
San
Jose,
it
will
inevitably
send
ripples
toward
the
margins.
We
must
consider
the
economic
and
human
impact
on
these
margins.
The
repulsive
displacement
look
like
losing
your
home
or
apartment
and
not
having
regular
place
to
take
a
bath
and
not
having
a
regular
access
to
a
bathroom.
The
ripple
means
displaced
people
will
be
living
in
a
situation
where
there
is
inadequate
food
storage
or
a
place
to
prepare
food.
Q
The
rippable
affect
basic
access
to
shelter,
healthy
nutrition,
mental
and
emotional
well-being,
sanitation
and
public
health.
As
faith
leaders,
we
work
with
these
communities
and
we
feel
the
ripple
of
the
economic
and
housing
displacement
every
day.
We
know
that
something
has
to
change
our
response.
These
chant
challenges
is
motive,
a
motivated
by
both
faith
and
reason.
Faith
connects
us
to
one.
Another
faith
tells
us
that
we
are
fundamentally
brother
and
sister
and
what
happens
to
one
affects
all
of
us.
Faith
shows
us
also
what's
possible.
We
are
moded
by
motive.
Q
We
are
also
therefor
motivated
by
reason,
reason
looks
at
facts.
It
considers
evidence
and
data.
We
believe
that,
for
reason
we
can
examine
the
human
cost
of
what
tech,
expansion
and
construction
of
a
transportation
might
have
in
our
community
on
the
Eastside
reason
does
not
make
us
fear
the
future.
Q
Rather,
it
allows
us
to
logically
and
systemically
critique,
reshape,
inform
public
policy
that
ensures
that
those
who
live
in
the
rim
and
margin
will
not
only
be
protected
from
the
ripples
of
expansion
development,
but
that
we
will
be
able
to
share
in
the
prosperity,
in
addition
to
hiking
and
biking
trails,
jobs
and
economic
support.
We
need
affordable
housing
and
anti
displacement
policies
and
robust
protections
for
existing
neighborhoods
to
preserve
the
character
and
the
culture
of
the
people
already
living
there.

I'm

gun
Neighborhood,
Association
and
former
chair
of
the
greater
Gardner
knack
and
was
instrumental
in
working
with
the
city.
In
beginning
the
los
gatos
creek
trail
on
south
of
Lincoln
Avenue,
our
north
of
Lincoln

Excuse
me
north
and
west

east
of
Lincoln

B
The
fir
Clyde
shows
you.
The
can't
get
the
pointer
to
work
well
in
the
pink
area.
Is
the
area
that
we're
talking
about
the
blue
line
below?
It
is
the
trail
that
I
worked
on
and
when
I
was
chair
and
vice-chair
in

of
the
greater
Gardner
coalition,
and
we
have
a
bridge
across
the
los
gatos
creek
into
North,
Willow,
Glen
and
Gregory

B
B
B
B
B
And
you
can
see
this
is
a
possibility
of
one
of
the
possibilities
of
what's
called
daylight
in
the
creek,
basically
opening
it
up,
building
a
channel
adjacent
to
the
culverts
that
have
been
and
they
are
for
over
50
years.
This
is
one
of
the
two
culverts.
It's
too
large
culverts
that
this
is
the
dry
side
that
doesn't
have
water
most
of
the
year,
except
in
the
very,
very
wet
rainy
seasons,
and
you
can
see
that
it
is
a
place
that
is
less
than
desirable.
B
It's
certainly
not
something
you
would
want
to
go
walking
down
into
right
now.
This
is
what
could
be
created.
There
is

Since
last
year.
O
My
colleague
marina,
well
Fernandez
she's
gone
this
week,
but
we'll
do
a
presentation
on
it
next
week,
so
rather
than
content,
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
a
way
of
thinking
about
our
role.
Here
is
the
SOG
and
one
that
talk
about.
One
thing
that
I
hope
we
can
all
leave
here
with.
There's
been
a
lot
of
questions
about
what
our
role
is,
what
we
could
expect
of
Google
what
we
could
ask
of
Google.
What's
really
realistic
and
I.
O
O
Worth
it,
Google
isn't
the
only
one,
that's
bringing
something
valuable
to
this
potential
project.
The
people
of
San
Jose
are
offering
a
whole
lot.
Public
decisions,
public
lands
coming
investments
worth
millions,
if
not
billions
to
Google,
including
the
selling
of
some
of
our
most
valuable
public
land,
the
dozen
or
so
acres
of
public
land
they're.
O
When
the
d
set
was
first
developed
and
Google's
going
to
meet
San
Jose's
residents
to
approve
specific
and
general
planning,
amendments
to
rezone
areas
of
parcels,
zoned
for
quasi
public
and
public
uses
that
you
could
build
affordable
housing
on,
but
you
can't
build
an
8
million
square-foot
mixed-use
commercial
project
on
all
these
things
are
gonna
require
we,
as
residents
of
San
Jose,
to
support
this
project
before
it
can
happen.
Google
needs
the
people
of
San
Jose
to
deliver
on
these
investments
and
approvals,
which
will
be
worth
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
to
Google.
O
It's
gonna
increase
the
value
of
both
the
public
lands,
they're
hoping
to
buy
and
the
private
lands
they've
already
purchased,
and
there's
no
public
policies
with
tools
to
really
ensure
that
our
community
and
not
just
Google,
captures
the
benefits
of
these
decisions
and
investments
in
supports
a
fair
market
price
alone
for
the
public
land
isn't
going
to
capture
that
value.
Thankfully,
there
is
a
way
that
the
city
of
San
Jose
can
look
at
capturing
the
value
of
these
things
and
then
also
dealing
with
the
impacts
negatively.
O
When
you
think
about
inequality,
when
you
think
about
displacement,
all
the
things
we've
been
talking
about,
there's
a
vehicle
to
really
capture
both
of
those
things
in
a
fair
way
and
that's
a
community
benefits
agreement.
My
time
is
running
short,
but
I
run
through
a
kind
of
a
series
of
different
projects.
The
Staples
Center
in
Los
Angeles,
the
Oakland
army
base
up
north
from
here
that
involve
different
types
of
public
benefits,
around
investments
in
affordable
housing,
job
standards,
investments
in
other
kinds
of
community
infrastructure.
O
All
these
things
with
a
legal
way,
an
apparatus
to
really
ensure
that
a
developer
is
doing
these
things,
but
it
really
in
making
a
fair
trade-off
between
the
public
decisions
and
the
public
investments
and
support
for
the
project
moving
forward.
You
can
come
to
an
agreement
around
these
things
and
find
a
fair
way
to
value
out
all
these
problems
that
we're
talking
about
here,
but
doing
it
in
a
way
where
Google
is
getting
value
of
the
communities
getting
value.
Everyone
is
winning
and
so
really
I.
Think.
O
When
we
talk
about
these
things,
it
shouldn't
be
about
what
Google
what's
Google's
role?
What
should
they
do?
What
they
should
not
do,
the
public
is
giving
a
lot
for
this
project,
and
so,
let's
think
big,
let's
think
about
what
we
can
accomplish
here.
It's
it's
not
a
given
that
we
have
to
see
large-scale
displacement
from
a
tech
company.
We
can
try
to
do
things
a
little
bit
differently,
so
I'd
encourage
you
to
look
at
the
full
report
for
minutes
it's
hard
to
jam
everything
but
appreciate
the
time.
Thanks,
agree,
great.
L
E
Just
south
of
the
area
here
in
question,
the
Dehradun
area,
you
can
see
there
to
the
left,
to
a
tee
and
on
the
right,
87
and
the
kind
of
the
pinkish
area
there
is
gardener
itself
to
the
left
of
that
is
a
neighborhood.
That's
not
represented
here.
It's
called
Gregory
Plaza
and
to
the
south
is
North
Willow
Glen,
where
Harvey
is
the
pink
area
there.
That
you
see
is
what
our
neighborhood
has
the
greatest
fears
of
happening,
and
this
is
the
high
speed
rail
at
an
at-grade
alignment.
E
There's
35
homes
in
that
area
there
in
the
pink
that
a
part
of
Gardiner
that
would
be
either
eradicated
or
would
have
diminished
use.
There
is
11
homes
in
North,
Willow,
Glen
and
I
did
not
count
the
number
of
homes
that
would
be
affected
in
Gregory
Plaza.
So
the
question
that
I
have
you
know
right
off
the
bat
there
is.
You
know,
single
family
homes
are
part
of
this
housing
solution
and
high-speed
rail
would
essentially
be
evicting
homeowners.
E
Come
on
there's
a
couple
of
homes
that
are
half
a
block
away
from
me
in
these
would
be
it
directly
affected.
Their
backyards
are
up
against
the
high
speed
rail
project,
current
pricings,
on
these
anywhere
from
between
about
900,000
to
about
207
750,000
in
the
gardner
area
itself.
There
are
about
27
properties
that
meet
the
criteria
for
designation
by
the
San
Jose
City
Council,
for
landmark
structures.
E
Then,
after
25
years
of
conflict
and
lawsuits,
we
got
awarded
a
rail
Road
that
cut
through
our
neighborhood
in
1928
Willow
Glen
sued
and
has
no
track
Gardner.
Didn't
we
got
the
tracks
so
by
about
1955,
we
were
declared
bright
blighted.
What
you
see
there
on
the
upper
left
is
a
Word
of
Faith
Church,
and
you
see
the
Train
right
next
to
it.
If
high-speed
rail
were
to
do
there
at
great
alignment,
they
would
be
taking
out
that
church
as
well.
E
So
that's
not
not
something
we're
looking
forward
to
also
we
have
280
that
was
built
through
our
neighborhood
in
the
70s
and
by
the
90s
by
the
time
highway
87
was
constructed
Gardiner's
about
1/4
of
the
size
that
it
was
in
1894.
So
this
raises
some
serious
questions
on
social
equity
and
justice.
You
know
how
much
more
does
one
neighborhood
have
to
put
up
with.
This
is
a
good
look
at
what
would
happen
with
fuller
Park.
You
see
on
the
Left.
E
What
it
currently
looks
like
and
then
an
artist's
rendition
from
I
believe
the
high
speed
rail
people
themselves
of
what
they
would
do
to
fuller
Park
to
make
the
high-speed
rail
go
through
this
area.
They
would
take
out
the
trees
and
have
to
raise
it
some
so
that
they
could
not
make
it
up
roller
coaster
ride
coming
in
the
darrid
on
in
the
lower
right,
you
will
see
there
I
wish
I
could
have
got
that
bigger.
E
E
We
spent
eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
building
that
Park
and
that's
that's
a
shame
to
see
that
that
might
get
destroyed.
Another
problem
we
have
here
is
the
isolation
of
Gregory
Plaza.
At
the
current
at
grade
alignment,
they
would
be
taking
out
one
of
the
main
access
egress
roads
for
the
for
that
neighborhood
there's
Ground
Zero.
E
E
During
the
sni
days,
San
Jose
invested
about
15
million
dollars
in
Gardner
residents
took
over
and
did
their
part
as
well.
There's
some
new
townhomes,
where
there
used
to
be
a
taxi
lot
and
the
home
there
in
the
lower
left
is
a
new
Habitat
for
Humanity
house
right
next
to
the
railroad
tracks
that
would
get
obliterated
if
they
put
high-speed
rail
through
now
just
got
built
in
like
2016.
E
So
we
know
that
Google
and
their
wisdom
has
said
that
innovation
is
a
healthy
disregard
for
the
impossible
and
I.
Don't
think
what
we're
asking
for
is
the
impossible,
but
we
have
had
four
neighborhoods
get
together:
Gardner
North,
Willow,
Glen,
Gregory,
Plaza
and
Delmas
Park,
and
you
can
read
this
later.
These
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
will
not
support
and
some
of
the
things
we
will
support.
E
In
conclusion,
what
we're
really
after
is
either
a
tunnel
option
which
we
have
not
heard
about
from
city
yet
or
an
aerial
bypass
that
will
go
along
to
80
and
highway
87
and
thus
avoid
our
neighborhood.
We
do
have
a
support
paper
out
that
we
have
sent
to
our
council
members
and,
if
I,
would
probably
we'll
get
this
distributed
at
some
later
date,
so
that
all
of
you
can
take
a
look
at
it.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Great.
A
A
A
B
Forgot
to
acknowledge
a
couple
people
that
helped
me
with
the
deck
one
is
Bill
Rankin,
who
is
chairman
or
president
of
save.
Our
trails
has
been
very
active
in
working
on
getting
the
three
creeks
trail
and
little
scotto's
creek
trail
done,
and
also
martin
Delson
was
the
one
that
found
the
1968
picture
and
he's
also
on
save
our
trails.
Great.
J
J
Be
misunderstanding:
what
was
said
so
I
apologize
but
gentrification
is
going
to
happen.
It's
inevitable,
it's
not
so
bad
necessarily,
and
then
we
have
folks
here
saying
you
know
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
planning
for
gentrification
and
displacement
and
ensure
that
our
communities
don't
get
gentrified
or
people
don't
get
displaced.
So
I'm
wondering
if
you
guys
can
comment
on
just
kind
of
squaring
these
two,
these
two
notions
so.
P
I
mean
the
idea
that
so
you
know
the
idea
that
you're
having
higher
income
people
come
into
the
immunity
that
there's
revitalization,
that
you
know
that's
a
good
thing
for
a
community.
What
what
the
problem
with
gentrification
is
that
leads
to
people
being
displaced.
People
have
traditionally
been
there
for
a
really
long
time,
and
that
leads
to
a
lot
of
other
negative
consequences
for
a
community
like
I
mentioned.
P
If
it's
interesting
like,
if
you
look
at
the
UC
Berkeley
studying,
maybe
we
should
send
it
around.
It
actually
points
to
interventions
that
the
city
made,
including
having
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
in
in
the
Dehradun
area,
that
let
that
prevented
a
lot
of
the
displacement
that
could
have
happened
from
happening
in
that
community.
So,
when
we're
talking
about
Google
coming
into
San
Jose
into
the
Dordogne
area,
it's
going
to
lead
to
a
lot
of
benefits
to
this
community.
There's
going
to
be
an
influx
influx
of
wealth
into
the
Dehradun
station
area.
P
You
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
opportunity.
Who
is
that
opportunity
for
and
who
is
going
to
benefit
from?
It
is
a
big
question
and
if
we
don't,
as
a
city
as
a
community,
take
steps
to
try
to
mitigate
the
potential
negative
aspects
of
displacement
potential
displacement,
it's
gonna
lead
to
a
community
where
only
really
really
wealthy
people
are
going
to
live,
and
people
who
have
traditionally
been
here
for
30
40
50
years.
Four
generations
are
not
going
to
benefit
from
that
wealth.
That
Google
will
bring
I,
don't
know
so.
Q
Particularly
a
lot
of
the
communities
in
the
east
side,
there's
a
historic
neighborhoods,
a
Mayfair
community,
the
birthplace
of
organizing
for
Cesar
Chavez,
that
neighborhood
is
already
seeing
displacement
and
you're
going
to
other
areas,
and
we
talked
about
you
know:
building
giant
high
rises
in
the
East
in
the
East
Side.
Well,
we
do
have
a
thing
there.
It's
called
an
airport,
so
it's
a
little
harder
to
to
kind
of
deal
with
that.
You
know
just
so.
Q
So
it's
not
like,
let's
just
solve
it,
by
glibly,
saying
we'll
build
on
the
east
side,
because
what
you're
building
it
every
everything
that
you
do
is-
and
these
are
fragile,
neighborhoods
I
think
that
it's
a
it's
a
social
cost
that
a
lot
of
us
are
also
worried
about
much
of
the
economic
displacement.
But
what
happens
when
you
have
more
kids
in
a
smaller
area?
Trying
to
study
when
you
have
the
workforce,
essential
workforce
housing
is,
is
eliminated
of
what
people
are
going
to
do.
Q
How
are
people
going
to
handle
this
more
people
are
very
tired
from
long
commutes
there's
a
lot
of
other
kinds
of
effects
that
happen
when
you
displace,
but
it
really
comes
down
to
the
human
factors.
What
kind
of
city
do
we
really
want
to
be?
I?
Think
that's
really.
The
kind
of
question
need
to
ask
and
that
we
need
to
invest
as
much
as
we're
going
to
be.
Q
We
will
we
may
risk
to
lose
some
quite
a
bit
of
that.
If
we
are
not
careful
in
planning
for
displays
a
week,
we
know
that
it's
gonna
happen,
but
the
question
is:
a
city
has
an
obligation
if
they
want
to
preserve
these
these
neighborhoods.
So
it's
really
ultimately
a
question
not
just
of
economics
and
building.
It's
really
a
question
that
we
have
to
root
this
in
who
do
we
want
to
be
at
her
table
great.
B
B
So
I
was
one
of
the
early
gentrify
errs
of
the
neighborhood.
Obviously,
because
I
was
a
clinical
nurse
specialist
for
Kaiser
and
I
had
a
decent
income
which,
at
the
time
was
$12
an
hour.
The
reality
is
that
many
many
many
of
the
families
in
my
neighborhood
have
lived
in
the
neighborhood
for
30
40,
50
years
old
years
and
they're
getting
older,
the
children
may
live
with
them
may
be
several
things:
children
and
grandchildren
and
they're
being
priced
out
now.
B
One
of
the
things
it's
happening
is
about
60%
I,
believe
of
the
gardener
side
of
the
neighborhood
is
not
owner-occupied,
so
it's
and
it's
because
of
single-family
houses,
even
though
there
may
be
multiple
families
living
in
them
or
they
may
be
duplexes
they're,
not
under
rent
control
issues.
So
somehow,
when
we
were
creating
housing
in
this
area,
we've
got
to
find
a
way
to
integrate
some
lower,
an
extremely
low,
very
low
and
low
income
housing
into
the
affordable
and
the
market
rate
housing.
Thank.
O
You
know
homeowners
generally,
when
renters
generally
lose
we're
a
city,
that's
40%,
renters
in
the
Deardon
area,
it's
closer
to
60%
of
the
data
poll
that
David
and
his
team
pulled
together.
So
let's
just
kind
of
keep
that
front
of
mind.
You
know
homeowners
may
win,
but
renters
are
largely
gonna
lose
and
renters.
You
know
right
now
have
a
family
income
about
$60,000
in
terms
of
their
income,
not
even
talking
about
their
wealth,
anything
about
homeowners,
it's
about
double
that
here
in
the
city
of
San,
Jose,
so
I
think
that's
a
good
starting
point.
Okay,.
E
Of
course,
some
of
these
people
have
owned
that
for
say
three
or
four
generations,
so
they're
sitting
pretty
good
money-wise
but
they're
taking
advantage
of
people
who,
like
Jeffrey,
says
the
renters
always
lose
and
I
know
that
you
know
me
personally:
I
could
not
afford
the
rent
on
my
own
place,
not
even
close,
so
I
feel
very
blessed
in
that
regard.
One
of
the
problems
we
had
as
a
result
of
the
SNI
was
we
did
get
a
lot
of
improvements
for
the
neighborhood,
which
was
fantastic,
but
people
were
scared
when
we
rebuilt
their
streets.
E
I
actually
had
people.
Tell
me
Kevin,
don't
rebuild
my
street
I.
Don't
want
my
axes
to
go
on
now.
What
they
didn't
realize
is
at
least
was
prop
13.
They
were
protected
by
a
certain
percentage
every
year
that
couldn't
go
off
anymore,
but
you
know
these
are
people
that
bought
their
homes
a
long
time
ago.
Their
incomes
never
kept
up
with
the
pace
of
the
price
of
the
houses
and
they
can't.
This
is
the
scary
part.
E
If
you
take
away
their
homes,
they
can't
go
and
get
another
another
house
somewhere
else
they
bought
so
long
ago,
like
Harvey
did
you
know
where
they
maybe
bought
it
for
thirty
thousand
dollars,
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
find.
When
we
talk
about
displacement,
if
you
were
to
say
that
you
know,
Gardner
is
an
incredibly
great
place.
It's
walk
within
walking
distance
of
Willow
Glen
and
it's
been
walking
distance
of
the
shark
tank
in
downtown
San
Jose.
There's
nothing
quite
like
that.
E
A
Okay,
great,
thank
you,
so
I
just
want
remind
you.
All
housing
is
obviously
a
hot
topic
here
tonight
we
do
have
a
section
of
tonight
devoted
to
the
solution
group
and
some
of
the
solutions
and
an
update
from
that
group.
For
you
all
so
we're
gonna
continue.
The
discussion
on
housing.
I'm
gonna
get
through
you
all
here
right
now,
but
if
we
can
keep
the
comments
or
questions
brief
just
so
we
allow
enough
time
to
get
to
the
next
section.
The
TED
talks
I,
think
I
saw
Jean
next
and
will
come
here
to
Bill.
A
H
Cohen
with
Building
Trades
Council
and
I
apologize,
I
I
was
late,
so
this
might
have
already
been
addressed,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
raise
it.
I
was
wondering
if
any
of
the
panelists
addressed
the
existing
partnership
between
Google
and
the
City
of
Mountain
View
right
now,
that
is,
regarding
community
benefits
and
how
that
process
might
inform
this
effort
here.
P
O
O
Mountain
View
had
already
started
to
implement
their
commercial
linkage
fee
and
so
for
any
square
foot
they
developed.
Google
was
going
to
be
on
the
hook
for
paying
a
pretty
substantial
amount,
$24
I
believe
a
square
foot
for
every
square
foot
of
commercial
office
space
into
an
affordable
housing
fund.
So
it's
like,
for
instance,
in
San
Jose.
O
If
we
had
that
same
policy
just
on
the
linkage
fee,
not
even
the
240
million
dollars
for
half
of
the
project,
they
want
to
build
here
in
community
benefits
they
offer
to
the
city,
you'd
be
talking
about
another
two
hundred
million
dollars
in
terms
of
affordable
housing
resources,
and
so
you
know
you
think
about
this
project.
It's
gonna
be
a
big
project.
The
comp
that
Google
tosses
out
is
their
Kingsbridge
Kingsbridge,
contrasting
development.
That
was
a
million
square
foot
development.
It
cost
a
billion
dollars
to
build.
O
A
J
J
My
question
can
be
answered
later,
and
that
is
when,
when
will
this
group,
if
at
all,
be
participating
in
the
different
phases
of
decision-making,
so
we're
gonna
have
an
MoU
where
the
input
would
be
done
in
September,
the
MOU,
which
is
just
a
framework
not
legally
binding
by
December,
and
then
that
will
launch
Google
into
a
development
agreement.
Where
do
the
the
community
benefits
agreements,
activities
begin
and
who's
responsible
for
those?
So
you
don't
have
to
answer
it.
A
I
appreciate
that
bill
we'll
definitely
plan
to
discuss
that,
if
not
at
this
SOG
meeting
your
future
sod
meetings
on
what
that
process
looks
like
again
and
we
have
an
fo
FAQ,
that's
gonna
be
coming
out
that
will
hopefully
help
answer
that
process
question
a
bit
more
as
well
so
I
appreciate
the
question.
Thank.
A
We'll
go
to
Boris
and
then
Norma
and
Thank
You
Boris
Lufkin
with
high-speed
rail
I
just
wanted
to
respond
a
little
bit
Kevin's
presentation,
because
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Looking
at
the
alignment
through
San
Jose-
and
you
know,
some
of
what
Kevin
chair
is
from
work
that
we
had
done
previously
in
about
1617.
We
have
gone
through
a
series
of
iterations
of
looking
at
various
options
in
2017.
We
had
eliminated
everything,
except
for
the
aerial
options.
A
What
has
happened
since
then,
just
to
kind
of
catch
everybody
up
is
that
the
city
had
asked
us
to
look
at
more
than
one
alternative
through
the
area.
We
in
the
city
also
kind
of
provide
us
with
some
of
some
input
and
ideas
of
some
options,
and
one
of
the
concepts
that
they
introduced
was
extending,
what's
called
the
blended
system,
so
we
had
been
looking
at
basically
dedicated
high-speed
rail
only
line.
A
What
they
kind
of
put
on
the
table
is
looking
at
more
of
the
shared
corridor
concept
that
we
have
north
of
San
Jose
towards
moving
that
south.
What
we've
taken
since
then
is
in
our
2018
business
plan,
introduced
a
new
option
of
looking
at
that
all
the
way
through,
and
that
really
has
the
ability
to
all
the
way
to
Gilroy
to
reduce
a
lot
of
those
impacts
that
Kevin
you
talked
about.
A
We
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do
to
develop
that
and
I
certainly
love
an
opportunity
to
engage
with
you
in
the
community
on
kind
of
looking
at
that
and
as
well
as
you
know,
we're
still
gonna
have
the
aerial
options
as
well.
We
haven't
picked
in
a
through
the
city,
so
I
just
want
to
kind
of
I
think
it.
You
know
that.
A
B
Basically
was
trying
to
find
the
best
route
to
get
bikers
and
pedestrians
off
the
route
without
having
to
cross
any
streets,
but
no,
it
didn't
deal
with
any
be
hydrologic
and
I'm
sure
that
what
will
come
once
the
hydrologist
get
a
hold
of
it
and
the
hydraulic
engineers
get
a
hold
of.
It
will
look
completely
different,
but
the
idea
is
that
we
want
just
daylight
it
and
have
ways
off
of
it
and
its
many
ramps
as
we
can
to
get
it
into
the
Google
area.
J
E
J
B
J
A
K
N
K
And,
of
course,
our
region
has
a
long
way
to
go
to
to
achieve
that
sort
of
goal.
I
think
we
see
that
today,
with
the
housing,
affordability
and
displacement
crisis
that
so
many
of
us
have
been
talking
about
that's
having
impacts
for
people
in
all
of
our
communities.
That's
driving
the
extremely
long
commutes
that
we're
facing
Silicon
Valley
has
about
the
highest
percentage
of
mega
commuters
people
driving
more
than
90
minutes
a
day
in
the
entire
state
of
California,
worse
than
than
Los
Angeles,
which
is
known
for
its
driving
culture.
F
K
That's
iconic
places
like
coyote
Valley
at
the
southern
tip
of
the
city,
the
farmlands
of
Gilroy.
In
fact,
56
percent
of
the
farmland
in
Santa
Clara
County,
is
at
risk
of
sprawl
development.
Today,
so
I'd
like
to
unpack
our
vision
for
how
we
could
grow
instead
of
facing
these
housing
affordability.
Crises
facing
that
this,
the
crisis
of
transportation,
challenges
that
challenges
our
sprawl
and
at
an
extremely
high
level.
For
me,
that's
creating
livable,
sustainable
places
with
prosperity
shared
broadly
across
the
community,
its
planning
processes
that
engage
everyone.
K
It's
establishing
many
uses
that
that
serve
everyone
across
the
income,
spectrum
that
foster
healthy
lifestyles
that
encourage
walking,
biking
and
transit.
They
create
safe
streets
and
family-friendly
neighborhoods,
where
many
generations
can
live
close
together
and
where
the
safe
streets
are
safe,
for
walking
a
child
to
school,
to
create
economic
vitality
for
all
residents
and
that
create
great
places
that
are
attractive
to
today's
workforce
and
to
to
current
residents,
and
that
this
will
be
essential
both
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
as
well
as
to
protect
the
vital
lands
of
our
region.
K
We
should
be
ensuring
that
the
benefits
are
shared
broadly
across
the
city
and
the
region,
particularly
on
these
issues
of
housing,
affordability,
mobility
and
connectivity,
and
that,
lastly,
we
should
be
linking
this
regionally
significant
development,
with
investments
in
regionally
significant
natural
and
agricultural
lands
to
create
the
next
great
amenity
that
will
serve
the
many
people
who
are
part
of
the
Deardon
area,
as
well
as
all
of
those
folks
across
San,
Jose
and
the
rest
of
the
region,
to
do
to
do
something
that
is
really
iconic,
bold
and
that
serves
the
next
generation.
Well,
thank
you.
K
A
F
S
Am
the
deputy
director
of
SV
at
home
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
SV
at
home?
We
are
a
three-year-old
organization
that
is
like
laser
focus
on
policy
advocacy
and
capacity-building
around
affordable
housing.
We
work
in
all
in
Santa,
Clara,
County
and
its
cities,
and
we
also
participate
in
policy
and
planning
conversations
at
the
regional
level.
S
S
S
By
2015
we
had
already
created
half
of
the
jobs
that
we
were
quote-unquote
allotted.
At
the
same
time,
we
only
permitted
for
fourteen
percent
of
the
housing
that
we
are
supposed
to
provide,
so
the
discrepancy
we
are
severely
lacking
in
our
housing
stock
and
that's
why
you're
hearing
that
it's
such
a
big
issue,
couple
of
things
that
we
face
here
in
San
Jose
that
I
hope,
will
kind
of
be
something
that
we
keep
in
mind.
As
we
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
that
is
presented
in
Dehradun.
S
We
are
a
severely
sprawling
community
and
I
think
there
Don
presents
an
opportunity
for
us
to
rethink
what
density,
livability
and
equity
might
look
like
in
our
communities.
I
want
to
address
some
of
the
comments
that
I
heard
earlier
today.
We
don't
just
need
housing
for
one
segment
of
people.
The
the
unfortunate
news
is,
we
need
housing
for
everybody
we
need
it
all.
S
The
good
news
is
is
that
we
have
some
pretty
good
projects
here
in
the
in
the
valley
that
have
demonstrated
a
commitment
to
doing
a
significant
number
of
homes
so
from
s
V
at
home
perspective
on
what
we
are
really
hoping
to
see.
Added
aired
on
in
terms
of
housing
are
three
things
number
one
quantity.
We
need
more
housing
number
two
affordability.
We
need
to
figure
out
how
to
make
sure
that
the
community
stays
affordable
for
everybody
and
last
but
not
the
least.
S
We
need
housing
that
isn't
segregated
into
different
pods
and
clusters,
so,
basically,
integrating
housing
with
all
of
the
other
uses.
I
have
a
few
slides
of
projects
that
we've
created.
So
this
is
affordable.
How
developers
have
created,
affordable,
housing
right
next
to
transit,
which
is
a
very
important
piece.
The
thing
that
is
also
I
want
to
stress.
That's
important.
We
all
know
the
value
of
stand-alone,
affordable,
housing,
affordable
housing,
that's
100%,
affordable
in
that
building,
but
I
cannot
stress
enough.
S
The
importance
of
mixed-use
and
mixed
income
housing,
so
I
heard
a
comment
earlier
today
that
said
that
developers
don't
like
to
provide
affordable
housing
in
their
mixed
income
projects.
That's
not
true.
Off
of
the
top
of
my
head,
I
can
name
multiple
projects
that
are
in
the
pipeline
right
now
that
are
delivering
fifteen
seventeen,
twenty
and
fifty
percent
affordable
housing.
This
can
be
done.
What
we
need
is
a
political
will
and
leadership,
but
we
also
need
community
well.
S
So
if
we
all
want
to
preserve
the
maximize
the
opportunity
that
they're
done
brings
and
to
preserve
affordability
for
everyone,
as
well
as
the
people
that
are
gonna,
inevitably
come
and
work
here,
we
need
their
work
together
to
make
sure
to
ask
for
those
three
things:
more
housing
be
bold
and
strive
for
more
housing,
affordability
for
everyone
and
make
sure
that
housing
is
appropriately
integrated
as
the
use
within
the
whole
there
down
area
and
not
sanctioned
off
into
one
piece
of
the
project
site.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Okay,
can
you
hear
me
okay,
hi
I'm,
Sarah,
McDermott
I'm,
presenting
today
on
behalf
of
South
Bay
Labor
Council
I
work
for
an
affiliate
of
the
Labor
Council
UNITE
HERE
Local
19.
We
represent
hospitality
workers
and
I
serve
as
local
19th
political
director
and
I'm.
A
senior
research
analyst
focused
on
development,
so
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
share.
C
C
We
want
dignity
for
working
families,
so
what
does
dignity
mean
I
like
to
think
that
dignity
means
being
compensated
fairly
for
hard
work
and
being
treated
with
respect
and
having
a
decent
quality
of
life
and
in
San
Jose?
The
question
around
dignity
right
now
is
really
having
the
dignity
of
working
hard
and
being
able
to
live
in
the
community
that
you
work
in
and
provide
for
your
family.
C
C
What
yeah
I
got
it
for
future
operations
at
the
project
site?
Well,
the
project
create
quality
jobs
for
Pete
the
people
of
San
Jose.
Does
the
developer
have
an
agreement
with
the
unions
who
represent
potential
service
workers?
Will
the
business
hire
responsible
contractors
and
will
the
business
agree
to
publicly
report
job
creation
and
distribution
statistics.
C
On
the
environment,
how
will
the
project
impact
workers
as
residents
and
commuters
in
San
Jose?
How
will
the
project
impact
the
housing
crisis,
displacement
and
the
houseless
and
finally,
does
the
project
offer
community
benefits
that
will
enhance
the
lives
of
working
people
in
San
Jose?
These
are
inclusive
of
the
previous
things.
I
brought
up,
but
can
also
include
things
around
health
and
public
services.
T
Just
about
us,
we
use
the
park
as
a
natural
lab
to
engage
students
and
hands-on
learning.
As
advocates
for
the
park,
we
work
to
draw
people
to
it
through
events
such
as
public
pumpkins
in
the
park
in
October
and
our
super
Guadalupe
River
Run.
In
February,
we
meet
with
elected
officials
and
civic
leaders
to
build
support
for
the
park
which
has
been
devastated
by
city
budget
cuts,
we're
in
charge
of
the
rotary
play,
gardens
operations
and
maintenance
and
hold
up
it's
beautiful
design
and
level
of
maintenance
has
standards
for
future
park
development.
T
We
aspire
to
take
over
all
operations
eventually,
as
is
the
state
of
practice
in
large
parks
across
the
country.
We
engage
volunteers
in
the
park
and
picture
some
of
the
companies
that
sent
volunteers
out
for
service
days.
In
the
last
three
months
we
also
coordinate,
volunteer
individuals
and
last
year
had
over
23
5000
volunteer
hours
in
the
park.
T
So
hopefully
some
of
you
in
the
back
can
see
this,
but
and
I
don't
know
so.
The
river
park
starts
just
just
at
highway
280
here
and
moves
north
to
highway
880.
Of
course
the
river
keeps
going
to
the
bay,
but
this
is
these.
Are
the
definitions
of
Guadalupe
River
Park,
often
times
you'll
hear
reference
to
Discovery
meadow
over
here
by
the
tech
museum
or
arena
green
as
kind
of
independent
parks
but
I'm
claiming
them
all
right.
This
is
a
chain
of
parks.
T
The
park
has
been
subject
to
have
tons
of
planning
and
I
want
them
to
show
there
that
there
were.
We
started
looking
at
at
flood
control
planning
back
in
the
1940s
and
under
Al
Ruffo
and
Merritt
back
in
the
60s.
Looking
at
the
river
park,
planning
and
construction
got
underway
in
the
1990s
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
and
Santa
Clara
Valley
Water
District
came
to
a
halt
over.
T
The
redevelopment
agency
funded
park
improvements,
flood
control,
work
was
completed
in
2004
and
in
recognition
of
the
regional
nature,
this
park,
the
Santa
Clara
County,
contributed
15
or
20
million
dollars,
and
some
of
that
money
went
to
to
buy
parkland
in
2009.
We
worked
with
ken
K
on
some
visioning
and
I
like
this
slide.
It's
way
out
of
date,
but
partly
I
like
it,
because
it's
out
of
date,
because
it
it
shows
we're
still
recruiting
the
A's
dang.
T
It
and
I
can't
get
my
little
pointer
to
work,
but
you
know
it's
HP
Pavilion
and
which
is
now
I,
say
P
Center.
It
shows
Adobe
building
on
the
former
San
Jose
water
company
site.
So
it
helps
me
understand
how
much
change
can
happen
in
nine
years
and
how
much
change
we're
looking
at
and
tell
Bart
gets
here,
but
it
also
shows
beautifully
how
both
los
gatos
Creek
and
go
a
little
bit
of
River
Park
framed
this
area
and
that's
downtown
expands
to
the
west.
T
What
got
me
involved
in
this
project
nearly
20
years
ago
was
Guadalupe
River
Trail
I
was
a
runner
and
the
notion
of
being
able
to
run
car
free
was
just
really
attractive,
and
so
the
River
Trail
is
paid
from
just
south
of
280
at
Virginia
Street,
all
the
way
out
to
LV,
so
it
connects
highway.
237
trail.
It
connects
out
to
the
coyote
creek.
Obviously
los
gatos
Creek
is
coming
in
the
three
creeks
trail.
T
So
just
a
phenomenal
network
parks
play
a
huge
role
in
the
vitality
of
communities
they
serve
as
community
gathering
places,
provide
relief
from
urban
intensity
for
residents
and
our
great
equalizers
bringing
people
together
across
social,
economic
and
racial
divides,
as
we
continue
to
build
high-rise.
Housing
in
downtown
parks
and
open
space
are
critical
to
the
quality
of
life.
We
have
many
challenges
due
to
Santa
state's
ongoing
fiscal
problems.
Parks
are
frequently
viewed
by
city
leadership
as
liabilities
instead
of
assets,
and
examples
abound
of
well
designed
parks.
T
Their
opportunities
long-term,
a
dynamic
public
space,
iconic
destination
for
san
jose
in
the
region
in
the
shorter
term,
some
of
things
we're
working
on
are
additional
activations
temporary,
our
signature,
our
revenue
generating
features
such
as
a
beer
garden
or
cafe,
to
fund
maintenance
and
add
things
for
people
to
do.
Moving
the
carousel
and
participating
in
the
2020
parks
bond.
A
J
T
Or
part
of
it,
the
way
the
parks
have
operated,
and
so
the
we're
working
with
the
parks
department
to
change
some
of
those
operations
and
policies,
if
you
will
part
of
it,
is
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
do.
Is
we
want
to
be
the
leasing
agent,
so
we
can
capture
the
revenue
to
put
it
back.
Currently,
the
mechanism
is
that
goes
to
the
general
fund,
so
there's
some
some
things
that
need
to
get
tweaked
and
we're
working
on.
B
Harvey
Darnell
north
wall
done
wanted
to
comment
on
what
Nicole
was
saying
and
Pilar
is
saying
in
terms
of
creating
mix
use.
It
makes
me
mixed
income.
Housing
I
found
my
experience
in
working
with
a
number
of
projects
that
I've
been
told
over
and
over
again
that
it's
very
difficult
to
finance
to
get
the
financing
done.
B
If
you
have
mixed
income
housing
that
there
are
different
mechanisms
for
low
income,
housing
versus
market
rate
housing
and
consequently,
they've
not
been
able
to
make
it
happen
on
the
projects
that
I've
worked
on
and
from
the
standpoint
of
adjacent
to
North
Willow
Glen.
So
the
question
I
have
is
how
we
can
get.
You've
obviously
had
some
successes.
B
S
I'm,
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
that
these
developers
that
you're
speaking
of
already
work
in
San,
Jose
and
already
work
in
the
valley
just
a
really
quick
example-
Sobrato
Summerhill
related
Sand
Hill.
What
it
really
is
is
that
challenge
developing
housing
makes
income
housing,
affordable
housing
is
challenging
because
of
the
financing,
but
we
have.
This
is
true
for
all
of
California,
so
the
flip
side
of
that
is
that
it's
very
challenging
very
difficult
to
create
housing
in
California,
but
you
have
a
development
community
that
is
used
to
being
put
through
the
paces.
S
So
it
is
a
very
sophisticated,
affordable
housing
group
of
developers
as
far
as
for-profit
developers,
who
understand
that
the
expectation
here
in
the
Bay
Area
is
that
they
must
do
mixed
income,
so
those
developers
that
I
mentioned
and
they
built
today
more
often
than
not
what
it
really
is
is
they
are
responding.
The
expectations
that
have
been
set
for
them
through
formal
policies
by
cities
or
through
partnerships
with
community
and
support.
S
So
one
example
that
I'll
give
is
that
in
the
city
of
Mountain,
View
I'm
the
project
that
someone
had
kind
of
brought
up,
North
Bay
Shore,
which
is
also
Google,
where
Google
the
city
and
a
very
big
coalition
of
advocacy,
community-based
organizations
and
interest
groups
all
partnered
together
to
craft
an
incentive
structure
that
would
incentivize
20%
of
affordable
housing
out
of
10,000
new
homes.
So
that
has
been
done.
S
That's
a
planning
stage
and
there
are
many
projects
in
the
city
of
Mountain
View
in
the
city
of
Sunnyvale,
on
Santa
Clara,
where
the
developers
are
coming
in
and
baseline
rules
in
those
cities
require
at
least
15%,
affordable
housing,
but
because
of
other
factors
and
expectations
that
those
cities
have
put
in
play,
the
developers
will
come
in
with
17
20%,
affordable
housing.
So
it's
being
done
now.
If
these
are
not
developers
that
are
not
within
our
community,
they
are
here
so.
B
S
S
So
there
low
income,
housing
and
low-income
housing,
which
is
pretty
much
80%
AMI,
are
below
so
folks
that
are
making
less
than
94.9
$4,000
and
less
often
these
projects
come
about
by
leveraging
state
tax
credit,
so
low-income
housing,
tax
credits,
the
other
group
of
people,
the
moderate
income
group
of
people
that
we
don't
have
a
specific
public
funding
source
for
that.
So
you
need
to
target
incentives
so
that
developers
will
do
it
and
now
I
will
surrender
the
life,
but.
A
K
I
was
just
going
to
add
that
I
think
one
of
the
challenges
we've
seen
over
the
last
almost
a
decade
is
is
that
we
were
faced
with
a
difficult
situation
because
of
a
legal
decision
that
made
it
harder
to
do
mixed
income
projects.
Now,
with
the
passage
of
the
State
Housing
package
last
year,
the
passage
of
maybe
1505
communities
can
put
back
in
place,
inclusionary
housing
programs
and
so
we're
going
to
see
many
more
communities
across
the
peninsula
and
across
the
Bay
Area,
putting
back
in
place
these
policies
that
really
encourage
mixed
income
development.
A
E
E
I
did
Paula
score
with
the
San
Jose
downtown
residents
Association.
So
just
a
couple
things
I'm
just
curious
to
get
your
reaction
to
for
for
the
the
parks
in
the
in
the
open
space.
One
thing
that
we
talked
a
lot
about,
particularly
with
st.
James
Park
but
I,
think
it
also
applies
to
the
Guadalupe
Parkway.
More
broadly
is
the
history,
the
rich
history
that
exists
there
and
and
how
is
that
integrated
and
celebrated?
And
and
how
do
we?
How
do
we
highlight
the
layers
of
history?
E
But
if
you
go
to
Rome
and
you
go
along
the
Tiber,
you
have
there's
a
festival
that
happens
every
year
where
they
just
have
the
whole
river
lit
up
and
they
have
booths
everywhere,
and
people
just
walk
along
the
Tiber
and
drink
by
food
by
our
local
crafts.
There
are
some
sections
of
the
Guadalupe
that
I
think
could
lend
themselves
to
that,
and,
and
it
would
be
really
wonderful
to
see
that
kind
of
activation
to
to
make
a
noteworthy
landmark,
and
those
are
things
that
we
talked
about
with
Google.
T
I
thought
the
Redevelopment
Agency
did
a
really
nice
job
of
incorporating
working
with,
probably
the
the
Water
District
to
incorporate
the
flood
history,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
art
built
into
the
walkway
there's
also
on
signage
at
Little.
Italy.
Certainly
there's
a
role
for
more
because
there
is
a
tremendous
witch
history.
If
you
continue
with
the
trail
past
Trimble
you'll
see
the
mammoth
sculpture
so
clearly
there's
a
celebration
of
the
Aloni
people
at
the
confluence
area.
T
A
So
now
we're
gonna
transition
to
the
next
topic,
which
we've
heard
a
lot
about
here
tonight,
which
is
the
housing
piece
and
just
a
quick
update
of
ideas
that
have
started
to
come
out
of
the
housing
solution.
Group
they'll
be
coming
back
again
later
in
the
saag
meetings
and
I
just
want
to
remind
the
public.
The
next
section
is
going
to
be
public
comment.
So
if
you
can
go
ahead
and
bring
me
your
comment
cards
that
would
be
great
over
to
Lori
yeah.
H
R
H
Sorry
for
all
the
texts
on
this
slide,
we
just
know
these
slides,
live
on
and
don't
want
this,
the
following
slides
to
be
taken
out
of
context.
We
want
it
to
really
emphasize
that
the
following
slides
are
draft
and
preliminary
the
housing
solution
group
has
met
twice
but
is
scheduled
to
meet
again
on
July
10th.
This,
as
we
all
know,
is
the
main
topic.
Housing
displacement
is
the
main
topic
facing
this
group
and
it's
complicated
and
it
comes
up.
H
Often
we
heard
a
lot
of
that
in
the
TED
talks
tonight,
so
we
just
wanted
to
build
in
a
little
bit
extra
time
for
this
particular
topic
and
we
did
get
feedback
from
some
of
you
that
you
wanted
to
make
more
time
during
these
advisory
group
meetings
with
the
whole
group
present
to
talk
about
housing.
So
we'll
just
give
a
very,
very
brief
overview
of
what
the
solution
group
has
been
discussing
and
knowing
that
the
the
TED
talks
tonight
I
counted.
H
Eight
of
them
are
on
the
housing
solution
group,
so
they
did
a
much
better
job
than
I
would
in
articulating
the
issues
around
the
topic.
So
with
that,
here
is
a
summary
of
what
the
group
members
have
expressed
in
terms
of
their
concerns
about
the
future
and
the
given
potential
development
in
the
Deardon
station
area.
So
it's
around
driving
up
housing
prices
even
more
exacerbating
the
displacement
problem.
A
lot
of
the
conversation
is
about
citywide.
H
It's
not
just
about
local
Deardon
station
area
impacts,
it's
about
the
effect
on
existing
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city,
including
the
east
side.
There's
discussion
on
high
speed,
rail
alignment
impacts
and
a
big
theme
to
is
just
how
is
this
project
going
to
affect
San
Jose
and
what
we
know
it
to
be
today
and
how
diverse
it
is
and
how
it
could
potentially
change
that.
So
those
are
the
types
of
concerns
that
the
group
has
discussed,
certainly
not
a
complete
list,
but.
H
Likewise,
they
have
discussed
many
desired
outcomes.
What
we
want
to
see
from
this
project,
so
here's
just
a
super
high
level
summary
looking
at
both
the
citywide
scale
and
a
more
localized
scale
of
what
those
outcomes
could
be.
So
in
general,
there
is
a
strong
desire
to
be
very
bold
and
addressing
displacement
and
generating
more
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city
want
to
emphasize
throughout
the
city
on
that
one
in
terms
of
the
more
localized
impacts
to
the
station
area
and
surrounding
it
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
around.
H
How
can
the
desired
outcome
would
be
to
preserve
the
variety
of
homes
and
the
character
that
exists
in
those
nearby
neighborhoods
and
but
while
also
accommodating
that
reinvestment
and
redevelopment
in
the
neighborhood
to
continue
to
improve
the
quality
of
life,
their
ultimate
goal?
Some
members
have
said
no
direct
or
indirect
displacement
from
San
Jose.
You
know,
residents
that
live
here
now
should
not
be
pushed
out
and
there
should
be
no
increase
in
homelessness.
So
that's
been
a
stated
goal
of
at
least
some
of
the
group
members.
H
So
the
solution
group
has
raised
many
ideas
for
how
to
address
the
concerns
and
achieve
the
desired
outcomes.
The
following
slides
list,
some
of
those
potential
solutions,
and
so
tonight
we
developed
a
little
bit
of
a
different
framework
for
how
to
present
those
solutions.
Just
following
the
general
confusion
about
what
is
the
role
of
Google
versus
what
is
the
role
of
the
city?
What
is
long-term
and
ongoing
versus
what
can
be
done
in
the
short
term?
So
we
are
hopefully
this.
The
next
few
slides
can
help
provide
a
little
more
clarity
around
that.
R
And
I've
been
working
with
Laurie
to
try
to
help
capture
the
ideas
around
housing
and
anti
displacement,
so
this
is
restating
again
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
talked
about
the
solution
group
again,
the
group's
not
done
with
its
work
yet.
So
this
is
a
preliminary
report
back
on
some
findings
and
there's
definitely
more
work
to
do
about
honing
this
and
prioritizing.
But
in
brief,
what
is
it
that
the
city
and
its
partners
could
and
should
do?
R
Then
the
production
itself
needs
to
happen
and
there
are
different
ways
that
can
work
with
land
use
incentives
and
helping
developers,
fine
sites
and
trying
to
help
lower
density
areas
like
single-family,
detached
neighborhoods,
create
homes
and
opportunities
through
accessory
dwelling
units
and
then
obviously
all
the
VTA
development
sites.
You
know
what
is
it
that
we
can
do
to
take
full
advantage
of
those
places
where
housing
can
go
and
accelerate
those,
and
then
we
talk.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
anti
displacement
policies
and
tools
itself
and
those
protections
that
tend
to
protect
tenants.
R
R
R
And/Or
city
dedications
of
diff
revenues
to
help
fund
those
uses.
Linkage
fee
was
one
idea
that
was
frequently
cited
revenue
from
land
transactions
and
that
really
the
community
benefits
agreement
I
was
to
was
talked
about
in
the
TED.
Talks
was
kind
of
a
vehicle
for
all
of
that
and
an
affordable
housing
fund
and
other
uses
for
affordable
could
be
worked
into
the
community
benefits
agreement
so
that
and
then
and
then
that
many
parties
would
be
involved
in
that
administration.
R
Thank
you.
So
some
of
the
group's
ideas
for
how
resources
could
be
used
basically
was
to
build
affordable,
housing
and
again
that's
not
just
near
Deer
'adam,
it's
throughout
the
city
and
then
focus
on
land
in
places,
especially
close
to
transit,
because
it
helps
reduce
housing
costs
for
residents,
obviously,
and
then
really
for
those
properties
that
are
worth
saving
that
are
reasonable
density
and
those
are
in
the
in
impacted
areas.
Maybe
there's
an
acquisition
and
Rehab
product
or
strategy
to
go
in
and
help
secure,
long
term,
affordability
for
certain
properties.
The
fourth
item
was
ownership.
R
Obviously,
renters
are
not
the
only
folks
we
you
need
to
serve
housing
needs
for
and
that
really
homeownership
opportunities
need
to
be
increased
and
there
are
different
models
to
do
that
and
to
reduce
costs
to
the
buyers.
At
the
same
time,
fifth,
which
we
mentioned,
was
legal
defense
for
those
facing
evictions
and
six
really.
How
is
it
that
we
can
it's
a
how?
How
do
we
focus
our
resources
on
neighborhoods
that
we
know
we're
going
to
be
really
affected
in
a
bad
way.
H
Yeah,
so
that
was
the
last
slide
with
that
we
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
to
the
solution
group
members
on
the
housing
displacement
team
to
build
upon
this
and
reflect
on
it
and
then
we'll
plan
to
stop
discussion
at
8:45
to
do
public
comment
and
then
just
a
few
minutes
of
wrap-up
after
that.
So
with
that
solution,
group
members.
S
From
s
V
at
home,
thanks
to
the
staff
for
summarizing
what
was
a
lot
of
information,
I
I
think
one
point
of
clarification,
that's
good
say
is
that
the
compilation
is
kind
of
a
little
bit
of
I.
Guess,
a
compilation
of
all
of
the
ideas
that
kind
of
came
up
so
different
sort
of
like
members
of
the
subgroup,
have
different
thoughts.
S
I
mean
I,
think
that's
what
this
captures
and
I
think
I
didn't
hear
it
mention,
but
I
think
the
other
important
piece
that
at
least
from
SV
at
Holmes
concern
is
that
when
we
consider
affordable
housing,
all
of
those
income
groups
that
you
guys
cited,
but
also
moderate
income
households
who
are
also
priced
out
of
the
market,
so
I
believe
that
was
part
of
the
conversation
that
we
had
in
the
subgroup
that
I
didn't
see
reflected
today.
But
thank
you.
H
H
R
And
actually
Lee
Wilcox
oversees
the
intergovernmental
relations
function
for
the
city,
very
ably
Thank,
You,
Lee
and
yeah.
It's
a
very
good
point
and
we
do
have
legislative
guiding
principles
every
year.
Many
of
them
like
find
more
money
for
affordable
housing,
it's
always
on
our
list,
but
it's
a
really
good
piece
point
that
we
should
think
about
the
intersection
of
exactly
which
strategies
works.
Thank
you.
F
So
if
you
build
a
business
park
next
to
it,
isn't
the
idea
that
housing,
somewhere
else
could
bring
employees
in
cuz,
the
city's
mix
of
business
to
residents
is
upside
down
compared
to
a
lot
of
the
places.
If
you
build
low-income
housing
at
the
train
station,
wouldn't
you
have
an
expectation
that
those
people
go
somewhere
else,
so
I'm
I.
We
need
affordable
housing
for
all
income
levels,
but
isn't
the
idea
of
the
train
station
to
move
people
in
and
out
of
the
area.
F
So
if
a
low-income
housing
is
used
in
the
transit
area,
are
you
expecting
them
to
commute
to
a
job
somewhere
else
versus
building
all
businesses
around
the
train
station
where
people
can
commute
in
and
building
low-income
housing
in
the
other
nair
neighborhoods,
where
people
are
more
likely
to
live
and
work
in
the
same
place
and
again
and
probably
should
think
this
through?
But
if
you
put
a
lot
of
housing
around
the
train
station,
are
you
expecting
people
to
leave
just.
S
I
think
we're
assuming
that
low-wage
workers
don't
exist
in
Dehradun
or
in
the
neighboring
areas
and
I
think
that
that's
not
true
so
housing
those
people
close
to
where
they
already
work.
It's
important
and
I
think
we
heard
from
working
partnerships
and
from
Sarah
that
you
know
for
every
tech
job
that's
created.
S
F
I
won't
totally
clarify
I
agree,
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
reconcile
in
my
mind
if
the
low-income
worker
works
at
the
Google
campus,
you
kind
of
limit
the
functionality
that
train
station
as
like
the
reason
for
building
the
Business
Park
there,
because
I
totally
give
people
should
live
and
work
in
their
neighborhoods
I
get
that.
But
then
they
won't
take
the
train.
But.
R
G
J
It's
really
late,
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
formulate
a
sort
of
an
answer
to
I.
Think
it's
a
really
good
question.
That's
being
raised,
I
think
the
question
around
balance
is
kind
of
what
goes
through
my
head.
When
that
question
gets
asked
and
I
totally
agree
that,
though
lower
wage
workers
will
live
and
work
and
play
in
the
Dehradun
area,
but
we
do
have
a
high
percentage
of
riders
who
are
coming
through
the
station
and
going
to
other
destinations
and
vice-versa
coming
into
San
Jose
by
at
dear
dawn.
J
So
I
think
that
question
is
gonna,
be
about
how
we
balance
the
development
and
the
transit
and
modal
needs
and
I.
Thank
you
for
making
the
point.
It
will
be
an
intermodal
hub
with
bus,
shuttles,
TMC's,
Cal,
train,
high-speed
rail,
Bart,
so
I
think
as
we
get
forward
and
you've
all
heard
a
little
bit
about
the
cooperative
partner
agreement
that
we've
just
started
down
a
road
to
do
an
integrated
station
concept
plan
for
the
transit
part.
We're
gonna
be
studying
how
users
are
forecasted
to
use
the
station
and
then
we'll
have
to
sort
of
balance.
J
A
Maybe
bursting
with
high
speed-
oh
maybe
I
can
pick
it
back.
A
little
bit
of
I
mean
I.
Think
one
way
to
look
at
it
is
that
there's
a
variety
of
trips
that
people
take
it's
more
than
just
commute
trips,
so
people
travel
for
all
sorts
of
different
reasons,
both
kind
of
within
the
region
in
their
neighborhood
and
across
the
state
as
well.
A
So
I
wouldn't
focus
just
solely
on
how
people
get
to
work,
necessarily,
which
is
obviously
important,
but
that's
not
the
entire
spectrum
and
I
think
the
other
part
of
it
is
the
in
where
there's
currently
affordable.
Housing
is
often
in
areas
that
are
not
transit,
rich
and
so
dear
done
is
transit
rich
and
giving
people
who
maybe
lower-income
access
to
that
transportation.
G
Working
in
cities-
I,
don't
think
ever
in
ever
history,
have
we
ever
built
so
much
affordable
housing
that
every
person
that
needs
affordable
housing
has
it
so
Jeff
from
Google
I
deplore
you
to
build
so
much
affordable
housing
that
every
low-wage
worker
at
Google
lives
in
that
affordable,
housing.
I.
Think!
That's
a
really
great
idea:
Steven
I.
O
Just
like
to
give
a
second
to
that
one
I
mean
when
you
think
about
the
the
service
subcontractors
that
were
mentioned.
Looking
at
how
Google
uses
service
subcontractors
and
its
Mountain
View
operations,
I
mean
we
could
see
8,000
subcontracted
service
workers
as
a
part
of
a
8
million
square
foot,
Google
demote.
Of
course.
We
you
know
it's
not.
We
don't
know
for
sure.
We've
only
heard
so
little
about
this
thing.
O
We
don't
really
know
what
it
looks
like,
but
if,
in
fact
it
was
8
million
square
feet
of
purely
Google
office
space,
you
have
a
lot
of
low
wage
workers,
folks
that
are
that
are
driving
people
in
on
the
shuttles
that
are
working
in
the
cafeterias
cleaning.
You
know
doing
things
like
being
security
officers.
A
lot
of
these
folks
are
only
making
around
you
know
16
dollars
an
hour
or
something
I
think
we,
we
did
a
regional
study
and
we
looked
in
the
County
Service
subcontract
workers
make
about
$19,000
a
year
on
average.
O
So
just
try
to
think
about
you
know,
making
rent
now
much
less
making
rent
after
Google
comes
in.
It
would
be
pretty
laudable
to
really
put
a
focus
on
mitigating
that
one
piece
of
the
impact,
but
you
know
the
impacts
on
rents
are
going
to
be
felt
across
the
whole
city.
So
it's
a
time
to
think
big
and
I
really
appreciate
the
staff
recording.
What
was
some
pretty
big
thinking
coming
out
of
this
committee
and
I
hope
that
we
can
carry
it
forward
into
some
real
recommendations
that
we
can
all
be
proud
of.
L
Mine
were
a
couple
of
questions,
just
a
dovetail
on
Stevens
Point
for
every
percentage
of
affordable
housing.
Don't
you
displace
somebody
who
can't
afford
that
to
push
it
into
I,
don't
know
North
Willow
Glen
and
increase
the
value
of
it,
the
rent
there
or
push
it
out
towards
fourth
Street
in
Santa
Clara
and
increase
the
rents
there.
So
question
is:
don't
you
displace
people
like
me
into
other
areas?
If
you
put
in
more
affordable
housing
as
a
question,
then
the
other
thing
is
is
and
I
don't
know.
I'd
have
to
go.
L
N
Think
anybody
ever
said
build
only
low-wage,
affordable
housing,
so
if
they
built
20
and
they
built
20,
affordable
houses
in
one
house
for
market
rate,
that's
one
more
than
you
have
now.
So
we
are
that
we
are
not
up
against
trying
to
do.
We
are
not
deciding
how
to
keep
market
weight.
That'll
work
on
its
own.
We
are
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
stop
in
San
Jose
in
this
area?
N
What
we
have
seen
around
the
country-
and
that
is
low-wage
workers-
are
being
completely
displaced
and
people
that's
working,
full-time
sleeping
in
cars
and
on
sidewalks,
and
that's
a
real
challenge
and
I
think
the
work
that's
being
done.
There's
trying
to
answer
that
and
I
think
that
if
we
answer
that,
not
only
will
there
be
housing
in
in
the
sag
area,
there'll
be
housing
up
and
down
the
corridors
of
our
transportation.
We
are
not
just
setting
a
template
for
this
one
area.
N
I
hope
we
are
talking
about
changing
a
system
where
our
children
can't
live
in
San
Jose,
right
college
graduating
that
has
reasonable
jobs
can't
live
here,
and
so
that's
the
system.
I
think
we're
changing
and
and
I
really
appreciate
the
conversation
tonight,
because
we
it
seems
as
if
everybody
is
saying.
Let's
do
this
and
we're
looking
for
ways
in
nuances
that
we
can
shift
that
we
can
do
that.
It
look
like
it
can
happen.
I
really
appreciate
what
I've
heard
tonight
and.
F
Steve
McManaman
says
you
can
fight
again,
I
want
to
support.
That
is
a
good
clarification
for
what
I
was
trying
to
say,
I'm
just
concerned
about
doing
it
at
the
micro
level,
because
it
really
is
a
barrier
wide
issue
and
I
think
we
should
also
be
careful
with
the
terminology.
I
find
affordable
housing
a
little
bit
misleading
because
it's
affordable
to
a
lot
of
people
right
now,
which
is
why
the
housing
stock
is
so
low.
F
Well,
we
really
want
to
say
is
affordable
housing
across
all
income
levels,
because
if
you
look
at
the
number
of
homes
for
sale,
clearly
people
can
afford
the
inventory
in
San
Jose
because
they
move
within
30
days.
We
need
to
have
a
barrier
wide
solution
to
affordable
housing
across
all
income
levels.
The
custodians
should
be
able
to
live
in
their
neighborhood.
A
bus
driver
should
be
able
to
live
in
their
neighborhood
and
we
need
more
affordable
housing
across
all
income
levels,
and
my
point
about
the
Deardon
station
is
I've
always
heard.
F
R
H
K
Vanderslice
with
green
path,
Alliance,
thank
you
Laurie
and
Kristen.
For
that.
That
summary,
it
sounds
like
there
was
a
very
useful
conversation
coming
out
of
the
solution.
Group
I'm
really
excited
about
the
ideas
that
are
that
are
bubbling
up
there,
and
particularly
addressing
both
the
production
of
new
homes
and
actions
that
can
help
preserve
affordability
of
existing
homes
and
this
idea
of
providing
homes
for
people
all
across
the
income
spectrum
that
can
be
part
of
the
deer
Don
neighborhood
to
create
an
inclusive
neighborhood,
as
well
as
across
the
entire
city.
K
To
help
make
solutions
that
are
citywide.
I
wondered
if
you
could
expand
a
little
bit
on
the
point.
Three,
that's
on
the
slide
here
and
I
think
it
might
be
just
a
helpful
piece
of
context
about
what
goals,
as
the
city
already
set
in
terms
of
the
type
of
of
inclusivity
that
it's
aiming
for
in
all
70
urban
villages,
so
that
we
can
think
about
that
as
in
comparison
to
the
dirt
on
site,
which
is
a
particularly
important,
economically
hot
spot
within
the
city
where
we
might
be
able
to
do
something.
R
Our
inclusionary
program,
if
I,
can
I,
haven't
memorized
correctly
and
might
directors
not
here
so
so
I
could
get
back
to
the
exact
requirements,
but
it's
a
15
percent
citywide
requirement.
They
can
either
build
the
units
or
pay
fees
or
provide
other,
and
you
know
in
loop
options.
If
you
go
it
is,
it
is
for
for
rental,
it's
a
moderate
which
is
60%
of
ami
or
I'm,
sorry
and
80%
of
AMI.
R
They
were
calling
it
and
moderate
under
our
ordinance
and
then
also
I,
think
at
50%
pilars
checking
me,
which
is
very
low-income,
50%
of
area
median.
So
that's
the
rental
requirement
for
the
for
sale
requirement
all
at
low,
slash
mod,
which
really
means
moderate
under
the
state
code
and
the
urban
villages
goal
is
a
25%
affordability,
goal
and
I
believe
all
of
that
is
supposed
to
be
low
income
at
60%,
ami
or
less,
and
of
that
25%
15
of
the
25%
goal
on
the
books.
R
J
Thank
you,
Jim
Lawson,
with
VTA.
We
do
have
a
very
aggressive
program
with
our
development
around
stations
and
to
the
point
that
Steven
made
earlier.
There
are
a
lot
of
reasons
that
people
people
travel
and
there
are
good
good
reasons
to
have
origins
and
destinations
at
those
locations
and
in
the
case
of
Deardon,
a
combination
of
origins
and
destinations
could
be
a
good
thing.
We've.
E
Poor
with
the
San
Jose
downtown
residents,
Association.
Thank
you
for
this
presentation
and
a
lot
of
these
goals
are
I.
Think
very
laudable
and
I
appreciate
them
listed
out
here.
I
just
have
a
quick,
my
be
too
big
for
now.
So,
if
it
is,
let
me
know,
but
if
you
go
up
to
Seattle,
you'll,
see
40
50
cranes
in
the
sky
and
they're
building
like
crazy,
we're
we're
building
a
lot
in
San
Jose,
especially
relative
to
the
other
communities
around
us,
but
it's
nothing
like
that
and
we're
talking
here
about
a
lot
of
housing.
E
H
I'm
gonna
agree
with
you
that
that
is
a
too
big
of
a
question
to
answer
right
now,
but
I
know
we
have
lots
of
experts
here.
That
will
be
taking
that
back
to
the
solution
group
and
so
I
really
appreciate
the
fresh
perspectives
that
non
housing
solution.
Group
members
had
reminding
us
to
think
about
the
terms
to
find
them
think
about
the
goals
and
define
them.
I
also
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
had
transit
people
in
the
room
to
offer
the
perspective
on
how
to
maximize
the
transit
opportunity
of
it.
H
A
M
Time
we
have
two
minutes:
two
minutes:
okay,
my
name
is
Robert
Aguirre
and
I
work
very
closely
with
people
that
are
in
the
house,
this
community
that
you
all
see
every
day
you
can
try
by
on
your
way,
to
work
or
home
and
I
think
that
we
don't
have
enough
representation
on
this
panel
of
a
large
number
of
people
representing
all
kinds
of
industry
and
associations
and
so
forth.
Our
representative
for
the
house
lists
is
houseless
right
now,
he's
not
here
and
so.
M
M
So
we're
going
to
continually
to
have
a
problem
with
people
sleeping
in
the
streets,
sleeping
under
bridges,
on
long,
the
freeways
and
in
their
cars
and
in
whatever
they
can
do
wherever
they
can
manage,
because
we're
not
addressing
the
problem
and
I
think
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
actually
look
at
that
and
try
to
understand
what
is
causing
this
problem
and
how
we
can
solve
it.
But
you
can't
solve
it
by
sitting
around
the
table
like
this,
you
have
to
go
out
and
meet
the
people
where
they
are.
M
You
need
to
be
able
to
have
that
conversation
with
them
and
find
out
what
it
is
that
got
them
to
that
point
and
what's
going
to
help
them
get
out
of
that,
so
that
we
don't
have
this
ongoing
problem.
So
I
deplore
you
all
to
please
consider
at
least
having
a
conversation
with
somebody
living
in
the
streets
to
find
out
exactly
what's
going
on
in
their
lives
and
how
you
can
impact
them
positively
in
this
conversation
that
we're
not
having
here
today.
Thank
you,
I.
E
Am
sandy
Perry
from
the
affordable
housing,
Network
I
attended
three
of
the
four
community
forums
last
week
and
all
of
them
expressed
concern
and
even
fear
about
displacement,
and
so
far
these
fears
have
not
been
adequately
addressed
by
the
city
staff
or
by
Google.
Is
my
letter
which
I
passed
out
to
I
think,
hopefully
all
of
you
earlier
tonight.
As
it
says,
the
city's,
affordable
housing
and
anti
displacement
measures
have
so
many
holes.
E
They
look
like
Swiss
cheese
I
want
to
call
attention
to
the
article
that
was
came
out
in
the
Atlantic
a
couple
of
days
ago.
It
actually
talks
a
lot
about
you
here
in
the
SOG
and
it
has
a
title.
It
says
who
gets
to
live
in
Silicon
Valley
and
that's
actually
a
fairly
concise
formulation
of
the
problem.
E
If
this
project
continues
as
presently
planned,
it
looks
like
there's
going
to
be
two
kinds
of
people
in
San
Jose
people
who
are
considered
deserving
to
live
in
San,
Jose
and
people
who
are
considered
undeserving
and
have
to
leave.
And
unless
this
attitude
and
this
prod
and
this
project
changes,
it
will
divide
our
community
by
class
and
by
color,
and
this
is
kind
of
like
the
urban
policy
equivalent
of
Trump's
latest
immigration
policy.
E
Not
only
is
he
dividing
up
families
which
will
happen
when
families
are
displaced
and
people
have
to
leave
their
relatives
and
and
leave
their
parents
in
some
cases,
but
also
a
Trump
is
trying
to
put
in
a
merit-based
immigration
plan
which
is
based
on
how
skilled
a
person
is
and
if
whether
or
not
you
come
from
Norway
or
one
of
the
countries
which
he
appears
to
favor
and
actually
the
tech
industry.
If
you
look
at
its
history,
it
does
tend
to
favor
whites
and
it
favors
people
with
specialized
skills.
E
K
There
was
a
meeting
at
the
City
Council
in
San
Jose
yesterday,
where
I
think
they
pretty
much
specifically
said
there
is
not
any
promise
of
a
low-income
housing
help
for
the
high-rise
developments
in
the
downtown
area,
and
it
was
very
notable
and
the
city
of
San
Jose
City
Council
is
just
learning
to
talk
about
what
is
going
to
be.
You
know
mixed
income
ideas
for
the
downtown
area,
there's
a
few
things
that
are
already
happening,
but
it
sounds
like
they're
running
pretty
dry
on
on
how
to
continue
that
and
sustain
those
ideas.
K
K
But
besides
that
I
think
I'm
really
learning
to
believe
in
the
mixed
use,
mixed
use,
but
just
a
mixture
in
the
downtown
area.
The
downtown
area
is
important
to
me:
it's
a
it's
quite
a
character
and
it
it
should
stay
that
way.
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
blanched
out
into
this
big,
rich
white
man's
dream
and
I'm
worried
about
that.
Please
look
at
if
you
can
what
the
city
of
San
Jose
is
actually
doing
with
downtown
right
now
what
what
others?
K
What
is
the
city
of
San
Jose,
doing
with
their
own
gentrification
plans
downtown
now,
while
we're
planning
these
grand
dreams
for
the
future?
You
know,
San
Jose
is
doing
something
pretty
serious.
That
I
hope
you
can
really
look
into
I'm,
really
not
happy
with
what
they're
planning
on
doing
there's
a
way
to
go
about
this.
This
bridge
to
the
future
that
needs
to
what
Robert
Aguirre
has
said.
It
needs
communication
with
people.
K
It
just
needs
people
talking
with
each
other
and
I
think
it
can
accomplish
a
lot,
and
you
know
my
feelings
about
the
big
belly
downtown.
It's
just
a
monster,
I
feel
and
you
just
communication
is
all
we
need
and
please
please,
there's
a
there
was
a
San
Jose,
City
Council
meeting
on
Monday
to
talk
about
downtown
issues
as
well,
so
study
these
issues
a
lot
and
there's
a
lot
happening
now
that
you
need
to
look
into.
Thank
you
thanks.
M
Hello,
my
name
is
Ramon
tostado
I
live
in
the
Almondine
area
by
Goodyear
and
I'm,
just
looking
at
the
mixed
housing
unit.
As
far
as
funding
I
think
what
Google
that's
not
a
problem,
they
have
a
lot
of
money.
They
could
probably
fund
it
all.
So
that
probably
wouldn't
be
a
problem,
but
we
just
need
the
percentage
of
what
is
going
to
be
affordable,
housing
and
then
the
other
one
is.
M
If
it's
going
to
happen,
they
need
to
have
a
certain
percentage.
I,
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
be
20%
but
local
workers
first
before
they
come
from
out
of
the
country
or
out
of
the
area
and
should
be
local
first.
So
these
people
have
a
chance
to
still
stay
in
this
area
and
I
mean
keep
it
San
Jose
first
and
help
out
with
others.
M
Like
he's
talking
about
homelessness
here,
we
need
to
invest
that
money
whatever
it
is
to
taking
care
of
that
problem
and
if
I
don't
know
if
it
was
five
years
back
or
further
Google
had
forty
four
billion
to
play
with
so
there
it's
not.
This
is
an
example.
We
can
use
with
this
company
to
really
help
out
I
mean
when
you
have
companies
that
have
more
money
than
countries
where
they
can
do
something
they
can
have
a
major
impact
and
I
think
that's
where
it
starts.
J
J
We're
talking
about
for
everyone,
tech
job
we
have
for
non
tech
jobs,
that's
for
probably
not
six-figure
salaries,
so
just
wanted
to
kind
of
get
that
out
there
and
and
have
that,
be
a
consideration.
The
point,
the
third
point
that
you
guys
had
was
at
least
25%
and
I-
think
that's
an
important
wording
choices
at
least
25%
and
I.
Think
VTA's
goal
is
to
have
35%,
affordable
housing.
J
E
So
once
again,
I
wrote
a
talk
and
then
others
read
my
mind.
I
got
to
think
more
quietly
next
time,
so
I'm
gonna
echo
Stephen
here,
San
Jose
has
a
structural
budget
problem
because
San
Jose
is
a
bedroom
community.
Envision
2040
had
a
goal
of
increasing
the
jobs
for
employed
resident
from
the
current.
What
is
at
0.8
up
to
about
1.1?
If
you
build
housing,
you're
gonna
be
making
that
ratio
worse
and
if
you
just
add
jobs
and
housing,
then
you
keep
the
ratio.
The
same.
You
just
made
the
problem
bigger.
E
If
you
build
a
lot
of
housing
at
Deer,
Don
people
will
use
the
transit
and
go
someplace
else,
so
go
up
to
San
Francisco.
So
then
they
will
be
getting
the
tax
revenues
and
we
still
have
to
pay
for
the
parks
and
library
and
the
police.
You
want
the
transit
to
go
from
houses
to
jobs.
You
don't
take
transit
to
go
from
one
house
to
another
or
from
one
job
to
another.
It's
it's
two
ends
of
the
line
there.
E
You
have
the
housing
at
the
urban
villages
around
the
area
and
then
on
the
transit
corridors
and
then
have
them
come
into
the
dear
Don,
where
you
have
the
jobs
at
cetera,
Don,
and
you
want
to
have
a
balance.
You
do
have
to
have
some
housing,
but
you
want
to
balance
it
with
the
jobs.
You
want
to
be
emphasis
on
the
jobs
and
I
think
it's
always
been
hard
to
live
in
this
area.
Here.
E
I
mean
I,
remember
coming
here
39
years
ago,
and
I
could
barely
afford
to
get
a
fixer-upper
and
what
was
then
an
iffy
neighborhood
and
over
the
years
I
my
wife
worked
to
to
be
able
to
afford
the
place,
and
over
the
years
we've
fixed
up
the
place.
Yes,
I
gentrified
the
place
the
place
had
been
a
cannery
community,
but
the
canneries.
Aren't
there
anymore,
so
jobs
changed
jobs,
changed
the
cities,
change
the
whole
area
changes.
So
what
does
gentrification?
What
is
the
changing
of
the
cities?
It's
a
complicated
problem,
I'm,
not
offering
solutions.
A
J
Adina
Levin
and
I
am
usually
speaking
for
friends
of
Caltrain
was
a
nonprofit
supporting
sustainable
transportation,
including
transit,
oriented
development
on
the
peninsula
corridor
in
San
Francisco
through
San
Jose
and
while
I'm
informed
by
that
work.
I'm
really
speaking
today
as
an
individual
and
I
want
to
address
some
of
the
things
that
have
come
up
in
this
conversation
with
some
suggestions
and
and
questions
so
one
is.
Somebody
has
a
good
question
about.
J
It's
been
really
built
out
in
San
Francisco
and
you
go
there
at
like
on
the
weekend.
You
can't
find
anything
to
eat.
You
can't
find
like
a
sandwich
shop
open
because,
even
though
it
has
a
mix,
it's
still
extremely
jobs,
rich
and
it's
really
healthy
to
have
a
16-hour
neighborhood
that
there's
people
around
seven
days
a
week,
16
hours
a
day
as
opposed
to
something
that
is
jobs
only
and
then
completely
dead.
J
The
rest
of
the
time
on
there
is
a
good
point
having
housing
in
the
transit
shed,
so
that
you
make
really
good
use
of
jobs
on
the
major
transit.
But
people
can
also
commute,
and
that's
a
another
good
idea,
but
having
16
our
neighborhood
is
is
a
good
and
important.
One
question
and
concern
that
I
have
is
that
35
percent
below
market
rate
housing
seems
reasonable
and
attainable,
especially
with
you
know,
money
coming
from
public
sources
potentially
from
Google.
H
All
right
so
super
quickly.
The
next
advisory
group
meeting
is
coming
up
quickly:
July
9th,
a
housing
solution,
group
number,
3,
July,
10th
and
then
a
couple
more
meetings
in
August
and
will
be
scoops
will
be
scheduling
a
mid-september
one.
So
look
out
for
the
invite
on
that
reminder
about
our
website.
I'll
be
adding
more
things
to
it
soon.
Now
that
the
forums
are
done,
we'll
be
adding
a
more
of
the
report
back.
