The City of San José is exploring ways of adding additional homes to the city. In season one, we discussed the concept of opportunity housing, which would allow homeowners to convert their homes into duplexes, triplexes, or fourplexes. On this follow-up episode, we sit down with Jerry Strangis, a local land use consultant and realtor in San José, and Patrick Condon, professor in the University of British Columbia Vancouver’s School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, to learn more about the local impacts of opportunity housing and possible impacts upzoning might have on affordability.
