San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan speaks during a press conference prior to his State of the City Speech at San Jose City College, October 2023.SAN JOSE — San Jose’s mayor on Saturday sketched out a grassroots approach for the Bay Area’s largest city to improve safety, address homelessness, create a cleaner community and improve its economy.
“Their grandparents came to find freedom, opportunity, tolerance – and peace,” Mahan said in remarks prepared for the State of the City speech. “And now it is our responsibility to work for freedom, opportunity, tolerance, and peace so the promise that brought them here is never broken.” “What we need is so simple,” Mahan said during his speech. “We need a city that works for everyone. A city that is safe for everyone. A city where everyone has a place to sleep indoors and where everyone can find a job that pays the bills. A city where we share the same opportunities today regardless of where we lived yesterday.”
“What we can do here, what we can control, is the kind of city and community we create,” Mahan said. “As an incredibly diverse city, we can be a model for the rest of the world. We can serve as an example that the world can look to as a success story. It is a place that is incredibly diverse and yet can also be safe, welcoming, inclusive and provide opportunities to people today wherever they came from yesterday.
“Our partners at the Valley Transportation Authority stepped up in a big way,” Mahan said during an awards presentation prior to his speech. “This quick-build community will offer safe and clean shelter to 200 people currently living on our streets.”
