Gordon for San Jose District 9

If anyone is curious about a sample of what I’ve read, standing up is read Laying down is yet to be read Not to mention numerous @sanjoselibrary books

$332.03/month for a health plan with a 10k deductible (I pay all costs until 10k) is criminal.

We are all ready to see the same results in San Jose Safer streets are better streets

We're thrilled to welcome the Golden State Valkyries to San Jose! The Bay Area is proud of them for making HERstory as the first WNBA team to make the playoffs in their inaugural season. Taking VTA to the SAP Center is a slam dunk. See how: bit.ly/41TGf38

If we want people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, we need to offer opportunities for people to pull themselves up Opportunities are what people deserve We can offer more opportunities, but it takes leadership making an active decision to do so

A New Vision for the Downtown Transit Mall 🚉 VTA is proposing a project designed to enhance safety and improve travel times by consolidating light rail service in downtown into a track-track corridor along First Street. Learn more & share feedback 🔗: vta.org/dtsj.lr.survey

The median household income being within 5x of the average home sale price has not happened in Santa Clara County in 28-29 years Lots of people point to 08, obviously Here in Silicon Valley, we haven’t even recovered from Apple’s emergence or the dot com bubble with housing

Gov. @GavinNewsom has awarded three California communities millions of dollars for affordable housing — and Santa Clara County hit the jackpot. sanjosespotlight.com/santa-clara-co…

@TordillosD3 I’ve been working on a piece for a few weeks on why a successful city needs a successful downtown As a San Jose native, this is one more “yes, and” policy area Can we connect so I can get a quote?

We need to bring people downtown to fuel the economic heart of our city, but we can’t rely on pre-pandemic norms to do it. That’s why I’m focused on getting more housing built. By building more housing downtown, we support local businesses by providing more regular customers.

Asking because I haven’t heard anything yet, and if there’s been announcement, my apologies, but @MattMahanSJ do you have an position on SB79?

The best wildfire prevention includes cities with good land use to minimize people harmed and maximize response times We can bring it here, especially abutting the great outdoors

@iGardon @MattMahanSJ When they say expensive, they mean in order to pay their employees Thats because our city doesn’t have enough housing, requiring higher and higher wages We need better land use & more, better, affordable choices on how we get around town so more businesses want to and stay open

Hi, Mayor — What BBB did today has a name: seeking attention. By saying “screw you” to 40 million Californians, their CEO (really just a store manager) scored hundreds of millions of dollars in FREE publicity, a Fox News hit, and the chance to inform millions of Americans they still exist after we all thought they closed after their bankruptcy (all for FREE!). Unfortunately, it seems you fell for it, too. 1.2 MILLION new businesses started in California in the last 5 years. Florida? 665k. Texas? 529k. We know bashing CA is fun. But quick reminder: your city ranks 99th out of 100 for business climate. Perhaps focus on that before pointing the finger elsewhere?

This is serious — we are shooting ourselves in the foot and we need to acknowledge that. San Jose is open for business, we’re doing everything we can to make it easier for our employers to succeed. I hope the rest of the state follows suit. Looking forward to seeing how our gubernatorial candidates respond to issues like this.

@losgatan Thanks for the info Did they mention if the education would be more geared towards parents, kids, or all of the above? Or not go that much into detail?

@OBE408 The gist of it was that they don’t want to chase speeding e-bikers, for fear of creating an even more unsafe situation, but they will focus on education.

Police Chief Jamie Field is responding to a question from Vice Mayor Rob Moore about e-bike enforcement in #LosGatos.

@cafedujord @cd4losangeles Do we know if and when the City of San Jose will discuss their position on it? I haven’t seen anything coming up

The City of LA, embarrassingly, just voted to oppose #SB79 (legalizing housing near transit). Watch this incredible rebuttal from @cd4losangeles, where she says that the city isn't acting in good faith to address the housing crisis, & that state intervention has been necessary.

@SJSpotlight We do need to be thoughtful in our shift from car dependence to cars being an option And we’ll never get there without planning to, and investing in our future We can plan for the future together, we just have to be willing to listen

Silicon Valley’s transportation agency wants to increase revenues from its highway express lanes, but advocates say they could save more money by strengthening public transit. sanjosespotlight.com/can-silicon-va…

@emcephotography They light up?! I missed out, apparently

This thing looks utterly demonic

@TordillosD3 Let’s go! Hope to speak to you soon about downtown improvements

Election: certified ✅ Oath: sworn ✅ It’s time to get to work!

@408Nate Can you DM me, I’d like to ask a quick question about the move?

@OBE408 I work for Campbell now!

Spending less time on here these days for... reasons. If you want to keep up with what I’m seeing out and about in Campbell, come find me on Instagram: instagram.com/campbellnate40…

We will never be able to end, or even drastically reduce homelessness until we can build enough homes to prevent new homeless people and families This is a “yes, and” moment and that does mean bridging the divide and making the best compromise that supports our cities
