Silicon Valley’s fresh talent is turning the unique elements of SF and OAK into a fine milquetoast.
Another condo isn’t going to satiate demand, or drop your rent, because:
People that work in Santa Clara live in San Francisco —>
—> That drives San Franciscans to Oakland —>
—> Forcing residents of Oakland to East Oakland —>
—> Displacing the people of East Oakland to… Reno?
These trade winds can only be quelled by creating something desirable in their own backyard.
We must curate a #basic experience in their own backyard, making the area where they work more palpable.
This is the mission of the "Make San Jose Weird" initiative. To maintain the integrity of the places we love, we must nurture an area that we avoid like the plague.
San Jose’s downtown is a vapid wasteland after 5 p.m., so let’s put a Barcade down there! Let’s plaid up the joint.
A few burrito trucks of ethnic contrast must make the commute. Toast must be sold at $6 per slice on Sundays.
They want more sports teams? We can share. How about the San/Francisco 49ers?
This is a community-wide initiative and it will take a different village to make it a reality.
If you have a suggestion to make San Jose weird, or are ready to initiate a project, send us your ideas or use the SF native social media tool, "Twitter," and address your message with the number sign #MakeSJWeird.
Thank you.
