Rather, the mayor says the city is requiring that 25 percent of the housing built around the campus be rent-restricted and affordable. Like most of the Bay Area, the cost of living in San Jose has skyrocketed, largely driven by the tech boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google, which is headquartered nearby Mountain View, is projected to bring \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/11/28/google-village-could-bring-24000-jobs-to-downtown-san-jose-study/\">tens of thousands of jobs\u003c/a> to San Jose. And Liccardo says the company agreed to fees on development to help fund affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google is planning to develop as much as 8 million square feet in downtown San Jose. The city lacks the allure of San Francisco or neighboring Palo Alto, so it’s not hard to see why some are so excited to develop it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But plenty of locals and activists are not happy with Google moving in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Buchanan, the policy director at Working Partnerships USA, a community labor coalition, says that even if San Jose isn’t offering big tax breaks, that doesn’t mean Google’s move will be good for the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe we’re not offering billions in tax rebates,” he says. “But we’re offering really valuable public land in an area where prices are going through the roof. Google is just on the beneficial side of things going their way, without having to give anything back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many activists in the various cities where tech is expanding, Buchanan has questions about the details: How exactly is housing going to be kept affordable?

A few years ago, it was so bad that his family — like so many others — had to leave San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The prices are so outrageous, we’ve got to move to the Central Valley to actually have affordable homes,” he explains. “So with Google coming here, it might be a bad idea. Rent’s going to go sky high.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chavez works in construction, and he’s hoping to work on the new San Jose Google site. “More jobs means more opportunities.

Rather, the mayor says the city is requiring that 25 percent of the housing built around the campus be rent-restricted and affordable.

Google is just on the beneficial side of things going their way, without having to give anything back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many activists in the various cities where tech is expanding, Buchanan has questions about the details: How exactly is housing going to be kept affordable?

The project would provide better access to the nation’s fastest-growing airport, he said, and be an important step in turning Diridon into the region’s “Grand Central Station” for the next century. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we’re building this station not just for the next few years but for the next several generations, we want a station that will be able to grow with the city,” Liccardo said Tuesday at a media briefing before a City Council meeting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor said he initiated conversations with Musk’s tunneling firm because he’s looking for cheaper alternatives for building a connection between downtown and the airport. Prior projections for an airport-downtown rail line have estimated the project would cost $800 million — a figure Liccardo said was likely too low. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor said that he hopes to get buy-in from councilmembers to allow city staff to begin a more formal exploration of the concept. And though he mentioned only Musk’s company by name, he said this was a chance for the city to entertain ideas from a range of firms developing new transportation technology, including autonomous vehicles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an opportunity for us to move forward with an exploration of some of those other technologies and really offer companies throughout the globe a chance to show off what they can do in the heart of Silicon Valley,” Liccardo said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor added that one of the city’s aims in opening discussions with The Boring Company is to assess whether the technology the firm is promoting “is real or not.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is “still in what you might call experimental stages,” Liccardo said. “They don’t yet have a transit system. They’re merely boring tunnels. I know they have one (in Southern California) which is promising, but by no means does that a transit system make.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk and The Boring Company have \u003ca href=\"https://www.boringcompany.com/faq/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">touted\u003c/a> their tunnel construction approach as much faster and much less expensive than conventional tunnels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Liccardo suggested, the biggest question surrounding that vision is whether the The Boring Company — a project Musk said he dreamed up because he was fed up with L.A. traffic — can deliver. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has promised to dramatically speed up the construction of tunnels and cut their expense — using industry-standard technology, they can cost $1 billion a mile or more — by both developing new technology and adopting a new approach to the tunneling challenge. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s proposed tunnels — like its 1.4-mile test bore in the Los Angeles suburb of Hawthorne — are less than half the diameter of a “standard” 28-foot tunnel. That in itself could dramatically reduce tunneling costs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firm is also devising more powerful, electrically driven tunneling machines that speed up construction by simultaneously boring ahead and building tunnel walls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once tunnels are completed and ready for use, the company envisions a system its calling “Loop.” It would employ electric vehicles called skates to carry either individual cars — Teslas, of course — or pods that could carry eight to 16 people. The company envisions skates that would be lowered from street level, then traveling through tunnels at up to 150 mph before rising back to the street at the end of the line. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loop systems have been proposed for \u003ca href=\"https://www.boringcompany.com/dugout/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.boringcompany.com/chicago/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chicago\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.boringcompany.com/eastcoast/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Washington, D.C. area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how close are they to arriving in any of those places, let alone downtown San Jose?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one level, the company practically vows to alter the fabric of reality with its futuristic vision of ending, or at least escaping, surface traffic gridlock. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, all it really has to show the public so far is \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/19/18148061/boring-tunnel-test-drive-hawthorne-tesla-elon-musk\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a 40 mph ride in a Tesla Model X through a bumpy test tunnel\u003c/a> tricked out with garish (i.e., futuristic) lighting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, seeing is believing. The company’s currently planned Los Angeles Loop project involves a short run from a stop on the L.A. Metro’s Red Line to Dodger Stadium (the exact alignment hasn’t been decided yet). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An official with the Dodgers said last summer the new system, dubbed the Dugout Loop, would be ready “in time for the 2020 season.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose, with its increasing congestion, will be watching. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly our city isn’t going to get any less crowded, and God’s not creating any more land,” Liccardo said Tuesday. “So it is likely that if there’s going to be a viable (downtown-airport) connection, it’s going to be underground.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The project would provide better access to the nation’s fastest-growing airport, he said, and be an important step in turning Diridon into the region’s “Grand Central Station” for the next century. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we’re building this station not just for the next few years but for the next several generations, we want a station that will be able to grow with the city,” Liccardo said Tuesday at a media briefing before a City Council meeting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor said he initiated conversations with Musk’s tunneling firm because he’s looking for cheaper alternatives for building a connection between downtown and the airport. Prior projections for an airport-downtown rail line have estimated the project would cost $800 million — a figure Liccardo said was likely too low. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And though he mentioned only Musk’s company by name, he said this was a chance for the city to entertain ideas from a range of firms developing new transportation technology, including autonomous vehicles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an opportunity for us to move forward with an exploration of some of those other technologies and really offer companies throughout the globe a chance to show off what they can do in the heart of Silicon Valley,” Liccardo said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor added that one of the city’s aims in opening discussions with The Boring Company is to assess whether the technology the firm is promoting “is real or not.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is “still in what you might call experimental stages,” Liccardo said. “They don’t yet have a transit system. They’re merely boring tunnels. I know they have one (in Southern California) which is promising, but by no means does that a transit system make.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk and The Boring Company have \u003ca href=\"https://www.boringcompany.com/faq/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">touted\u003c/a> their tunnel construction approach as much faster and much less expensive than conventional tunnels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Liccardo suggested, the biggest question surrounding that vision is whether the The Boring Company — a project Musk said he dreamed up because he was fed up with L.A. traffic — can deliver. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has promised to dramatically speed up the construction of tunnels and cut their expense — using industry-standard technology, they can cost $1 billion a mile or more — by both developing new technology and adopting a new approach to the tunneling challenge. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s proposed tunnels — like its 1.4-mile test bore in the Los Angeles suburb of Hawthorne — are less than half the diameter of a “standard” 28-foot tunnel. That in itself could dramatically reduce tunneling costs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firm is also devising more powerful, electrically driven tunneling machines that speed up construction by simultaneously boring ahead and building tunnel walls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once tunnels are completed and ready for use, the company envisions a system its calling “Loop.” It would employ electric vehicles called skates to carry either individual cars — Teslas, of course — or pods that could carry eight to 16 people. The company envisions skates that would be lowered from street level, then traveling through tunnels at up to 150 mph before rising back to the street at the end of the line. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loop systems have been proposed for \u003ca href=\"https://www.boringcompany.com/dugout/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.boringcompany.com/chicago/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chicago\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.boringcompany.com/eastcoast/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Washington, D.C. area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how close are they to arriving in any of those places, let alone downtown San Jose?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one level, the company practically vows to alter the fabric of reality with its futuristic vision of ending, or at least escaping, surface traffic gridlock. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, all it really has to show the public so far is \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/19/18148061/boring-tunnel-test-drive-hawthorne-tesla-elon-musk\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a 40 mph ride in a Tesla Model X through a bumpy test tunnel\u003c/a> tricked out with garish (i.e., futuristic) lighting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, seeing is believing. The company’s currently planned Los Angeles Loop project involves a short run from a stop on the L.A. Metro’s Red Line to Dodger Stadium (the exact alignment hasn’t been decided yet). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An official with the Dodgers said last summer the new system, dubbed the Dugout Loop, would be ready “in time for the 2020 season.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose, with its increasing congestion, will be watching. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly our city isn’t going to get any less crowded, and God’s not creating any more land,” Liccardo said Tuesday. “So it is likely that if there’s going to be a viable (downtown-airport) connection, it’s going to be underground.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Expanding broadband internet access to low-income communities has been a priority for San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo for some time now. So it came as a surprise in late January when he \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/01/25/san-jose-mayor-liccardo-resigns-from-fcc-broadband-advisory-board/\">quit\u003c/a> a Federal Communications Commission committee charged with improving access nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s apparent that ultimately the FCC is in the industry’s pocket and has no intention of doing anything to expand digital access,” Liccardo said shortly after the announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the internet is a driving force behind life in the Bay Area, for many low-income families in East San Jose, it’s still not easy to get online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get an idea of what this problem looks like, Gabriel Hernandez takes me for a walk through a neighborhood in East San Jose. Hernandez works for Somos Mayfair, a social service nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guarantee if we went down this street, you’d probably find maybe five houses that have a computer in the house,” Hernandez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the residents in this neighborhood are Latino and working class. Hernandez says that for those he works with, it’s hard to think about paying for the internet when they’re in survival mode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Families have to make those choices. Do I eat? Do I pay rent? Or do I pay the phone?” Hernandez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luiz Mendoza, 51, lives in this neighborhood, in a rented room with four of her children. She fled a domestic violence situation and is raising all of her kids on a salary she earns as a child care worker. The family shares two cellphones — they don’t have a computer. This is a major pain for Mendoza’s 15-year-old daughter, Annette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I need homework in email and sometimes I can’t get it because I don’t have Wi-Fi,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annette uses a hot spot on her mother’s phone to get on the internet. But doing research or using Google Slides on a tiny phone screen is hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes the hot spot is just really slow and doesn’t let you work on it, and so sometimes you just have to miss it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annette sometimes skips lunch to do her work in the school’s computer lab. She admits there are times when she just doesn’t do it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annette’s story is more common than we might realize, says Shireen Santosham, chief innovation officer for the city of San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Seventy percent of homework is done online, so what you’re doing is cutting out opportunities for onramps for those children,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santosham and her staff conducted a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Digital20Inclusion20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> with Stanford University and found that 28 percent of families living in the city don’t have access to broadband internet. Most of those families are living below the poverty line, making less than $15,000 a year. Santosham says they’re trying to combat this by bringing in more competition. AT&T and Comcast are the two main companies that provide internet service in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting more competition for the private sector to come in and lower prices and compete against each other, that will result in bringing down the cost and getting more people on the services,” Santosham says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last summer, Comcast launched a new service in San Jose for low-income families — offering internet for as low as $10 a month. The study found that for many families, $10 is still too much to pay. And some argue at this lowest tier the internet is so slow it’s sometimes useless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11647047\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11647047 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RamosFamily-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anthony Ramos with his mother, Rodio, and sister, Catherine, outside their home in East San Jose. Anthony says their internet access is so slow, it sometimes prohibits him from completing his homework. \u003ccite>(Tonya Mosley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This is the case for the Ramos family. They recently signed up for that low-cost internet service with Comcast, but 11-year-old Anthony Ramos says trying to work online with his classmates can be excruciating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just a day ago they asked me to be in a group chat, but when I get on the internet it’s very slow,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramos says it can take several minutes for a page to load, so instead he uses the internet at school or a community center to do his homework.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do most of my social studies homework over there because my internet here is not that good,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools, libraries and community centers are good options, says the city. As part of a digital inclusion plan, the city is working on outreach efforts to let more people know about them.

So it came as a surprise in late January when he \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/01/25/san-jose-mayor-liccardo-resigns-from-fcc-broadband-advisory-board/\">quit\u003c/a> a Federal Communications Commission committee charged with improving access nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s apparent that ultimately the FCC is in the industry’s pocket and has no intention of doing anything to expand digital access,” Liccardo said shortly after the announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the internet is a driving force behind life in the Bay Area, for many low-income families in East San Jose, it’s still not easy to get online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get an idea of what this problem looks like, Gabriel Hernandez takes me for a walk through a neighborhood in East San Jose. Hernandez works for Somos Mayfair, a social service nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guarantee if we went down this street, you’d probably find maybe five houses that have a computer in the house,” Hernandez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hernandez says that for those he works with, it’s hard to think about paying for the internet when they’re in survival mode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Families have to make those choices. Do I eat? Do I pay rent? Or do I pay the phone?” Hernandez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luiz Mendoza, 51, lives in this neighborhood, in a rented room with four of her children. She fled a domestic violence situation and is raising all of her kids on a salary she earns as a child care worker. The family shares two cellphones — they don’t have a computer. This is a major pain for Mendoza’s 15-year-old daughter, Annette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I need homework in email and sometimes I can’t get it because I don’t have Wi-Fi,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annette uses a hot spot on her mother’s phone to get on the internet. But doing research or using Google Slides on a tiny phone screen is hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes the hot spot is just really slow and doesn’t let you work on it, and so sometimes you just have to miss it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annette sometimes skips lunch to do her work in the school’s computer lab. She admits there are times when she just doesn’t do it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annette’s story is more common than we might realize, says Shireen Santosham, chief innovation officer for the city of San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Seventy percent of homework is done online, so what you’re doing is cutting out opportunities for onramps for those children,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santosham and her staff conducted a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Digital20Inclusion20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> with Stanford University and found that 28 percent of families living in the city don’t have access to broadband internet. Most of those families are living below the poverty line, making less than $15,000 a year. Santosham says they’re trying to combat this by bringing in more competition. AT&T and Comcast are the two main companies that provide internet service in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting more competition for the private sector to come in and lower prices and compete against each other, that will result in bringing down the cost and getting more people on the services,” Santosham says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last summer, Comcast launched a new service in San Jose for low-income families — offering internet for as low as $10 a month. The study found that for many families, $10 is still too much to pay. And some argue at this lowest tier the internet is so slow it’s sometimes useless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11647047\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11647047 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RamosFamily-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anthony Ramos with his mother, Rodio, and sister, Catherine, outside their home in East San Jose.

And recently he also found his voice in the 2016 elections after being inspired by former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the first year I became more political and talked to my parents about it,” said the San Jose State University economics major. “My parents never talked about anything politics before this year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/287178538″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tran’s parents are part of a large community of refugees who came to San Jose after escaping Saigon when it fell to the communists in 1975.

Tam Nguyen represents District 7 and Manh Nguyen represents District 4. In June,\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/07/outgoing-san-jose-councilman-ramps-up-pr-efforts/\"> Manh Nguyen was defeated\u003c/a> by Lan Diep, who won the seat by a dozen votes. Diep will take office in January 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vietnamese-Americans now make up about 10 percent of the city’s population. They are an even larger share of the city’s electorate, said Hien Do, a professor of sociology and interdisciplinary social sciences specializing in Asian-American studies at San Jose State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think one of the reasons they probably \u003ca href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/s/llpdz5smfklkxpn/NAAS2016-Oct5report-oct3%20jw.docx?dl=0\">vote more than other\u003c/a> communities is because they feel they have more at stake, but also they see their politicians representing them,” said Do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That political evolution started around 2005, when Madison Nguyen was elected as the first Vietnamese-American member on the San Jose City Council. She subsequently became vice mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they can elect the candidate that they support, then they feel very empowered,” said Nguyen. “And that sense of empowerment is significant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loc Vu, an 84-year-old former South Vietnamese Army colonel, said the reason older Vietnamese-American voters turn out in large numbers is because of their experience of war and political persecution in Vietnam. As with many in his generation, Vu often votes Republican, even though he’s now registered as an independent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most refugees believe Republicans are more anti-communist than the other party,” said Vu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madison Nguyen, who left Vietnam and came to the United States when she was 4 years old, said the anti-communist Republican mindset is hardwired into a large majority of older Vietnamese-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can almost guarantee you that every Vietnamese-American who left Vietnam resents the communist government because that’s the reason we left in the first place,” said Nguyen, a Democrat. “It’s because we don’t want to live in a country where we could be persecuted for our political or religious beliefs. We came to this country for a better shot at success and a future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But today a new generation of Vietnamese-Americans in Santa Clara County are openly becoming Democrats. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2008/10/25/young-vietnamese-americans-turn-away-from-gop/\">In 2008, a Mercury News \u003c/a>computer analysis of nearly 30,000 new voters showed that Vietnamese Americans age 30 and under were registering Democratic over Republican by nearly 4-1. The analysis was done by putting Vietnamese surnames into a database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a coffee shop in San Jose’s Little Saigon neighborhood, Nicole Le, who came to the United States from Vietnam when she was 10, said her parents are staunch Republicans but all five of their children are registered Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The younger generation wants to break away from the mold, that teaching, that philosophy,” said Le, 44, a professional at a tech company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madison Nguyen, now running for the state’s 27th Assembly District against current councilman Ash Kalra, said younger voters are less concerned about communism and more concerned about the local economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are other issues, such as education, job creation and the housing crisis,” said Nguyen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11122788\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11122788\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Former San Jose Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen is campaigning for state Assembly at New India Chat Cafe.\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former San Jose Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen is campaigning for state Assembly at New India Chaat Cafe. \u003ccite>(Beth Willon/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That said, Nguyen’s political path is a cautionary tale about the continuing electoral power of older Vietnamese-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nguyen was almost recalled from the San Jose City Council in 2009 when she proposed naming a San Jose shopping and restaurant area “Saigon Business District” instead of “Little Saigon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do said it was a miscalculation because the name “Little Saigon” represented the Vietnamese who had been displaced and it honored all their sacrifices and hard work building a new life in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t just a place to do business, it was the place, our home, our language, our culture. All those things that represent who we are and who we were as refugees,” said Do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nguyen said that in 2009 she was a young, green politician when she made the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I would classify it as losing touch with my community.

Tam Nguyen represents District 7 and Manh Nguyen represents District 4. In June,\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/07/outgoing-san-jose-councilman-ramps-up-pr-efforts/\"> Manh Nguyen was defeated\u003c/a> by Lan Diep, who won the seat by a dozen votes. Diep will take office in January 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vietnamese-Americans now make up about 10 percent of the city’s population. They are an even larger share of the city’s electorate, said Hien Do, a professor of sociology and interdisciplinary social sciences specializing in Asian-American studies at San Jose State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think one of the reasons they probably \u003ca href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/s/llpdz5smfklkxpn/NAAS2016-Oct5report-oct3%20jw.docx?dl=0\">vote more than other\u003c/a> communities is because they feel they have more at stake, but also they see their politicians representing them,” said Do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That political evolution started around 2005, when Madison Nguyen was elected as the first Vietnamese-American member on the San Jose City Council. She subsequently became vice mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they can elect the candidate that they support, then they feel very empowered,” said Nguyen. “And that sense of empowerment is significant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loc Vu, an 84-year-old former South Vietnamese Army colonel, said the reason older Vietnamese-American voters turn out in large numbers is because of their experience of war and political persecution in Vietnam. As with many in his generation, Vu often votes Republican, even though he’s now registered as an independent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most refugees believe Republicans are more anti-communist than the other party,” said Vu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madison Nguyen, who left Vietnam and came to the United States when she was 4 years old, said the anti-communist Republican mindset is hardwired into a large majority of older Vietnamese-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can almost guarantee you that every Vietnamese-American who left Vietnam resents the communist government because that’s the reason we left in the first place,” said Nguyen, a Democrat. “It’s because we don’t want to live in a country where we could be persecuted for our political or religious beliefs. We came to this country for a better shot at success and a future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But today a new generation of Vietnamese-Americans in Santa Clara County are openly becoming Democrats. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2008/10/25/young-vietnamese-americans-turn-away-from-gop/\">In 2008, a Mercury News \u003c/a>computer analysis of nearly 30,000 new voters showed that Vietnamese Americans age 30 and under were registering Democratic over Republican by nearly 4-1. The analysis was done by putting Vietnamese surnames into a database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a coffee shop in San Jose’s Little Saigon neighborhood, Nicole Le, who came to the United States from Vietnam when she was 10, said her parents are staunch Republicans but all five of their children are registered Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The younger generation wants to break away from the mold, that teaching, that philosophy,” said Le, 44, a professional at a tech company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madison Nguyen, now running for the state’s 27th Assembly District against current councilman Ash Kalra, said younger voters are less concerned about communism and more concerned about the local economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are other issues, such as education, job creation and the housing crisis,” said Nguyen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11122788\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11122788\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Former San Jose Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen is campaigning for state Assembly at New India Chat Cafe.\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21389_IMG_1389-qut2-1-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former San Jose Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen is campaigning for state Assembly at New India Chaat Cafe. \u003ccite>(Beth Willon/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That said, Nguyen’s political path is a cautionary tale about the continuing electoral power of older Vietnamese-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nguyen was almost recalled from the San Jose City Council in 2009 when she proposed naming a San Jose shopping and restaurant area “Saigon Business District” instead of “Little Saigon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do said it was a miscalculation because the name “Little Saigon” represented the Vietnamese who had been displaced and it honored all their sacrifices and hard work building a new life in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t just a place to do business, it was the place, our home, our language, our culture. All those things that represent who we are and who we were as refugees,” said Do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nguyen said that in 2009 she was a young, green politician when she made the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I would classify it as losing touch with my community. I was just politically inexperienced,” said Nguyen, who prevailed in the recall election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today millennial voters like Tran said that unlike many of the community’s elders, they won’t vote for a local candidate just because that person is Vietnamese-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s nice for a new ethnic group to enter office, but to me it doesn’t matter as long as the best-qualified people represent the people’s interest,” said Tran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that Tran has been bitten by the political bug, he said, casting a ballot and having a voice in the election is what matters most to him.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The reality is, there are much larger market forces at work here.

You're gonna see efforts from the Silicon Valley Talent Partnership and others to develop a smartphone app that can really help folks get more directly engaged.
