What’s “Opportunity Housing”? Why do some oppose or support it?
In the fall, the San Jose City Council will decide whether to direct city staff to study the possibility of allowing duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes in single-family neighborhoods. Why do some oppose it while others support it? How can you make sure your opinion is considered? Find out during an informational meeting!
There will be three FREE ZOOM COMMUNITY MEETINGS by San Jose neighbors for San Jose neighbors!
City staff, a group opposing and a group supporting will present at each meeting.
Did you attend a meeting without city staff presenting information? Heard conflicting information and not sure what’s true? If so, then this meeting is for you…by neighbors for neighbors.
