San Jose has so much going for it, from its vibrant tech scene to its beautiful weather. However, the high cost of living is a real concern for many of us. It's crucial that we address these challenges so everyone can enjoy what our city has to offer. A thriving community should be accessible to all, and I'm hopeful that with the right focus, we can make San Jose an even better place to live for everyone.

Property price to income: 7.34. Check out this website for another take on San Jose and a few other high-cost housing cities in California. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/housing-is-now-impossibly-unaffordable-in-these-4-cities-and-they-re-all-in-the-same-state/ar-BB1oqBNd?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=8bc87394ca43402bbb859a3eb6bc3afc&ei=11

Property price to income ratio is LOW???? Do you mean income to property price ratio? Makes me doubt the accuracy of the data on this site. You cannot find any SFH for under $500k unless you can live in a senior 55+ plus community. More like $700-800k and up, often $1M or higher, especially in good school districts.
