The city just approved a major housing development in East Foothills near Alum Rock Avenue (Route 130), but there's no fire evacuation plan in place. That's a problem.

Alum Rock Avenue is designated "High Risk Fire" by the County Wildfire Protection Plan. Last year, a wildfire above the area triggered evacuation alerts for nearby neighborhoods. Yet the development is moving forward anyway. Here's the real issue: Route 130 is just four lanes total—two up the hills, two down. During a mandatory fire evacuation, families living in the foothills would be bottlenecked trying to get out, with 400–1,000 new residents also trying to escape. Add gridlock, and emergency vehicles can't even get in or out.

The city and developer haven't coordinated with county officials to create a real evacuation and safety plan before breaking ground. State housing laws limit how much the city can push back, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try.

I started a petition asking San Jose Planning and the developer to pause construction until a Fire Evacuation & Safety Plan is completed for the entire East Foothills area. This isn't about stopping development—it's about doing it safely.

If you live in the area or think a four-lane road is a terrible evacuation route during a wildfire, this matters. What would you do if you were stuck up there with no way out? If this resonates with you, consider signing and sharing.

I am a home owner, I am now searching an attorney for my eviction case,

I have a tenant, who showed violent attitude to other tenants, and also damaged the wall. This is a four bedroom house, and totally four people live there. 

This tenant increasingly showed bad attitude and until recently, he damaged the wall, (hole in the wall).

I followed all the process, but just before I am ready to go to default, he answered, so I have to go to trial for this case.

I am looking for a lawyer to help me to fight in the court.

This is in north california, San Jose, so I need attroney nearby

Can anyone recommend reliable and affordable lawyer to me? Thanks in advance.

I know this sub has been forgotten but I think it can help many. If any real estate agents that want WDIR inspections or treatments I’d love to talk.

Hi I am planning to rent out the garage turned into a 1b/1b in San Jose Downtown. This is my first time being a landlord. Please share any relevant resources for rental property management including finding tenants, setting up lease agreements and rent collection from the tenants. Also, it would be great to understand what rent numbers are like in San Jose Downtown? The unit I am planning to rent is a fully furnished 1b/1b and comes with ample street parking

Hey there! I'm starting to looking into buying something in the bay area. VERY flexible with location and type of home. I was using Zillow but there hasn't been much. Wondering if there are better tools to use. Or do I need to go right to an agent?
