NBC Bay Area’s Robert Handa sat down with San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, who said he is anxious to put his campaign behind him and is looking ahead.
Mahan pledged more affordable and long term, interim housing, but said the city can’t wait for those projects to address street homelessness, especially in the midst of storms that have already claimed several lives.
“Well, we need to expand our overnight warming locations by Wednesday, because we have another large system coming in and the ground is already quite saturated. So, we’ve got to make sure we have more places for people to go,” he said.“When it comes to blight, I want to expand our 311 applications to get more residents on that tool. So, they can tell us where they’re seeing blight and we will be more accountable for addressing it,” he said.
“I think we’re gonna find ways to collaborate and get along and it’s going to be very productive,” he said. Mahan’s sole supporter on the council during the campaign was his predecessor Sam Liccardo, who Mahan credits with solving much of the budget crisis before he left office.“Sam texted me right after midnight on New Year’s Eve and said ‘Tag. You’re it. Don’t screw it up,'” he said.
