SAN JOSE - For nearly two decades, frustrations between residents of Country View Custom Estates and the city have festered.

Letters: S.J. leaders must keep downtown construction rolling

Surface-level parking lots, decaying fenced-off structures and countless signs promising projects that continually face delays litter the downtown landscape. This under-utilized land makes for a great place to build housing units, where new towers can slide in among the existing surroundings and provide a boost to downtown commerce. I believe our elected officials need to better understand the issues facing the development and construction industry and work toward policies that aim to make building quicker and cheaper.
