The people of Stockton appreciate their city’s cultural diversity, lower cost of living, and beautiful location on the San Joaquin River delta. Locals and their guests can enjoy watching a race at Delta Speedway, strolling the Japanese garden at Micke Grove Park, and sampling beers at the annual Stocktoberfest. While less expensive than many other parts of California, home prices in the Central Valley are creeping up. We think SB 9 will help bring more affordable housing solutions to cities and towns across the state.
