Letters: Residents' input crucial to expanding S.J. housing stock
Briefly

San Jose's housing policies are criticized for lacking flexibility and responsiveness to market forces and neighborhood characteristics. A successful housing development at the Pleasant Hills Golf Course illustrates how incorporating resident input can lead to thoughtful proposals. This development, featuring 32 units per acre, aligned with guidelines established through community dialogue. The design received input from the community, ensuring it respects the neighborhood's character, remains financially viable, and complies with infill development policies. This collaborative approach should inform future housing strategies in San Jose.
San Jose must transition to higher densities thoughtfully, with our residents' voices leading the way, as exemplified by the development on the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.
The design of the Pleasant Hills development is responsive to public input, respectful of neighborhood character, financially feasible, and consistent with infill development policies.
