Compared to many other South Bay cities, downtown San Jose doesn't have a lot of retail. Why is that and what can be done to change it? Join us for a conversation about what it took to make retail work along some of San Francisco's most challenged streets, and find out what economic conditions, policies and community-based revitalization efforts could support great, walkable places in San Jose.
