The pattern in San Jose
San Jose is one of the most displacement-pressured markets in the country — long-time families are being priced out of the very neighborhoods they built. Watch three signals: rent growth outpacing wage growth, longtime-resident turnover, and school enrollment shifts. The Urban Displacement Project publishes regional maps; your city's housing department publishes the local data.
The counter-move
Housing policy fights the cost side. Amigos en Acción fights the income side — routing San Jose's own young people into verified higher-wage skills so rising neighborhood value lifts the families already here. That loop is built into our patent-pending architecture.
