Valley Politics October 2021 features Fred Buzo, San Jose Director for SPUR, discussing SPUR’s role as a regional planning and advocacy agency, including SPUR’s position on SB 9 and SB 35, the controversial new state housing policies recently signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom, as well as San Jose’s consideration of “Opportunity Housing.” Are these measures the end of single family zoning? Where does SPUR stand? Robert Chapman Wood of SJSU and Megan Fluke of Green Foothills provide pointed questions as guests and Fred also talks about the state of downtown San Jose today. We conclude with the observations of former mayor Ron James on revising San Jose’s form of government from council-manager (as it was when he was elected in 1967) to mayor-council (or strong mayor).
