The past and future of San Jose leadership came together Tuesday at a holiday event addressing homelessness and housing.
There are three of those in San Jose, and another one is opening in a matter of days near the police department.
“With a council vote, hopefully next week, we’ll be able to say we have 1,000 of these units under development here in the city of San Jose,” said Liccardo. “We know this is a faster way, a more nimble way for us to serve our unhoused residents.”“The truth is, we have often been in the way in government and made it too difficult to build housing,” said Mahan when asked what he’ll do to tackle these problems moving forward.
And with significant pushback from many neighborhoods, is it possible to get other projects like this done? “We’re not just bringing forward a site like this to help those who are unhoused. We are, but it’s good for the whole community,” said Mahan. “We see a cleaner city, a safer city … the more we invest in these kinds of solutions the better off we all are and I think it’s incumbent upon us as elected officials to make that case to a public that is understandably skeptical.”The hope now is that the city’s newly-elected leaders can find lasting solutions to make meals like this less necessary.
