drying out He adds his own flare through his toppings and marinades is made with Sichuan tare and balanced with a bright “Yakitori is something I’ve made all my life,” says Ku “My family loved to do backyard barbecues.” There’s also a rotating izakaya menu with options like prawn toast and onigiri the menu features Japanese beef curry bowls and Taiwanese lu rou fan Warm months feature salads and fermentations He also tailors the menu around events — for example a pop-up at a hot and loud nightclub was matched with a bold spicy dish of smoked pork belly with pickled plums and grilled pickled Jimmy Nardello peppers along with a frisée salad for a cooling contrast “The menu is a little bit seasonal and also depends on the mood that I’m in,” says Ku a seared ball of sushi rice topped with tamago furikake and ikura (salmon roe) It’s a chewy umami bomb with a slight crunch on the outside from the scorched rice a slice of shokupan stacked with tiger prawns and showcases a fun dynamic between the opposing textures of the crunchy toast and the creamy topping Ku’s decision to start Aku’s BBQ is tied to his fond memories of making yakitori as a child — he recalls these meals as one of the few opportunities he had to slow down and enjoy a meal with the people he loved He learned to make yakitori by watching Japanese cooking shows with his mom He also found inspiration on his yearly visits to Taiwan where he fell in love with the night markets and the smoky meats grilled over charcoal He still sees yakitori as a way to connect with others He sets the vibe by putting on a cooking show of his own with puffs of smoke and dancing flames Although Ku has been making yakitori for years Aku’s BBQ is very much just getting started He’s looking forward to embarking on this new journey and introducing his style of yakitori to people across the Bay “I don’t have plans on being tied to a brick and mortar any time soon,” says Ku but a little more sustainably on my health and the

as attendance steadily increases as well as key card access and detection systems Of the $1 million being allocated from the general fund $515,000 will go toward Sharks Ice and the remaining $485,000 will benefit SAP Center Improvements are set to benefit the 2025-26 hockey season said security and safety are at the top of the list when he meets with the arena authority board of directors “The Sharks do an excellent job right now of keeping people secure,” Morrisey told San José Spotlight To see that they’ve decided to make this kind of investment to upgrade what they already have is forward thinking You always have to think about safety.” The city also ramped up a vendor cart-impoundment pilot program outside SAP Center earlier this year to address unpermitted vendors A San Jose Sharks spokesperson declined a request to comment on the planned security upgrades With both the SAP Center and Sharks Ice at San Jose being in prominent areas of the city Morrisey said the improvements are important not only for fans to feel safe — but also to keep danger far away As executive director of the arena authority for more than 25 years Morrisey said he grew up in an era where a stadium was surrounded by a sea of parking away from the street who represents where SAP Center is located “This action reflects the city’s continued collaboration with the San Jose Sharks to prioritize a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors to SAP Center and Sharks Ice,” he told San José Spotlight “Strengthening security measures is a shared responsibility reinforcing our

Presley handled things the right way and left on good terms when you spend that much time with the kids is you love them and want the best for them he made the decision that was best for him All I can do as a man is support him in that Politically-active landlords are coordinating a campaign to stop a proposal from California lawmakers to slash yearly rent control caps — and it appears to have worked Kalra’s bill would permanently lower the existing rent control and cost-of-living rate in California from a 15% maximum increase per year “I am grateful my colleagues on the Assembly Housing Committee acknowledged the pressing need to take action to support tenants statewide and stabilize the rental market,” Kalra said in a statement the robust debate coupled with subsequent discussions with Judiciary Committee members signaled more time is needed to work on the bill.” Kalra said AB 1157 will become a two-year bill — meaning it can be continued to be discussed and considered into next year The California Apartment Association has been at the forefront of opposition to AB 1157 including groups such as the California Chamber of Commerce and California Mortgage Bankers Association according to an April 1 letter shared with San José Spotlight by Mike Nemeth spokesperson for the California Apartment Association “During (Thursday’s) committee debate assembly members acknowledged the severe housing affordability crisis but remained divided on whether AB 1157 provided an appropriate solution,” he said “The discussion centered on balancing immediate tenant stability against concerns that stricter rent caps could hinder housing production.” Kalra said landlord interest groups like the California Apartment Association are trying to create the perception of widespread opposition to the bill in an effort to stir up division “If you look at the list of those opposed to my bill they’re all apartment or realtors associations but we have the support of renters and over 150 organizations statewide,” Kalra told San José Spotlight before he withdrew the bill “(Thursday’s action) is a reflection that my legislative colleagues understand more needs to be done to protect California renters.” who asked not to be named for fear of retaliation said their respective organizations have been hesitant to take a position on the Affordable Rent Act because they suspected the bill would be withdrawn early in the legislative process — as it was Tuesday Many landlords in San Jose who rent to low-income tenants don’t even raise rents high enough to be affected by the Affordable Rent Act since these renters are on a fixed incomes said their group of statewide advocacy organizations support Kalra’s bill She said opponents of the bill are recycling the same talking points from the Tenant Protection Act discussions during COVID-19 Chen Huang said mobilizing support early and fast is key “The state has only put 0.5% of its budget toward housing and homelessness … yet (Speaker of the Assembly) Robert Rivas said housing is the biggest human rights issue of our time,” she told San José Spotlight “It’s amazing that a lot of our elected (officials) are not necessarily working to make that a reality in our state especially when we are considered a progressive democratic state.” As the San Francisco Standard recently reported the California Apartment Association hired gig workers to speak in opposition to rent control measures Chen Huang said detractors of the bill are using heavy-handed tactics to get their messages across Kalra said even at Thursday’s Housing and Community Development Committee hearing some people looked like they didn’t exactly know what they were doing there real estate is among the richest industries in California and we have to impress upon state legislators how hard it is to pay the rent,” she told San José Spotlight particularly over the course of the pandemic inflation was bonkers and every year rent was going up 10% consistently No one’s wages are going up that fast.” Contact Vicente Vera at [email protected] or follow @VicenteJVera on X I don’t even have a rental in California… but I don’t

Wilson just missed out on Niedermeyer and Shea Weber were both players Wilson made a huge push to sign as UFAs There have been others but those were 2 of the biggest other than Tavares Looks like Neidermayer wanted to play with his brother and Weber signed the biggest albatross contract in league history so I can live with missing out on those two guys The money is going to be silly this offseason but it’s not getting any less silly in the future and I think today’s silly numbers are going to seem tame two years from now which is why something silly like 7/$16M AAV for Marner is something the team can do I would go after Marner and trade Eklund for Defensive help That is a really tough first round match up…think maybe the next level might also be/been the roster construction since playoff/contention phase…the PLD saga Another way to view the Sharks rebuild is to look at the teams we need to dislodge on the way to the top The Kings are probably the first team on that list the Avs and Stars are two teams that absolutely annihilated the Sharks this year and I thought they were two of the top 5 teams in the league (both better than Edmonton) The Avs are now going home with nothing but questions and they have peak MacKinnon and Makar especially if it’s like a 6-7yr x $8-10M I’ll let the people who get paid to make those decisions figure it out Bennett and Dahlin or Dobson would be my dream off season Brock Boeser is exactly the type of player you don’t sign if you’re Mike Grier right now I don’t follow him enough to have an opinion like a 5yr by 8mil was offered

to Vancouver with a good offer at the deadline Someone starved for scoring will give him big term and money There are so many better options for the Sharks which IMO is not what a team should add at the early stages of a build Yeah he wasn’t really on my want list but the Sharks may have to sign a guy like this if they really want to improve Hard no IMO on Boeser(too one dimensional – we already have Toffoli in this role) and hard no on Marner (not a good fit for the Sharks – we need more size – we have the skill) We just need a top six fill in for the next two years that is defensively responsible and can put up 50 – 60 points (i.e On the D-side we need a two top line D-men Bottom four can be filled out by Shakir – Liljegren and Cagnoni – Desjarnais Top line needs a stud anchor like Dobson or Dahlin Marner is fine (highly unlikely) if you’re also trading Eklund for defensive help Marner is likely light years better than Eklund will ever be next season is likely a failure if Cags is an NHL regular Getting Dickinson ramped up needs to be a major priority Also but re-signing him just means the team is basically as good as January I happen to think the Sharks could get it done with Marner because he wants money and the Sharks have money I’m trying to think of what aggressive moves would take the team to the next tier and help slingshot through the mushy middle Joseph

ICE officers went viral earlier this year are continuing to keep customers away — along with the profits they bring East San Jose businesses bring in about $4.2 million in tax revenue per year and provide up to 8,000 jobs Latino Business Foundation Silicon Valley President and CEO Jesus Flores said they are our neighbors,” he told San José Spotlight “We have close to 600 small business owners that are undocumented so they face double the impact — loss of revenue and fear for their own (immigration) situation.” As the Rapid Response Network of Santa Clara County remobilized to look out for ICE activity Flores said he gathered dozens of business owners who said profits have gone down almost 40% runs his supermarket across the street from the Target associated with previous ICE activity With legitimate reports of ICE already scaring potential customers Ibarra said he’s frustrated by false reports keeping people from going to the Tropicana Shopping Center “Most of our neighbors sharing supposed immigration enforcement sightings are acting in good faith but some folks think about getting things on social media quickly before verifying.” Ibarra told San José Spotlight in Spanish “We haven’t seen ICE officers around since the operation with Colombian nationals earlier this year I hope people aren’t discouraged from coming to the market because we’re all here to protect each other and this is a safe community.” Ibarra is either checking in with his deli and bakery workers or helping a customer find out if they won big on the latest lottery scratcher ticket His customers affectionately call him by his Spanish nickname “Chava.” Once a booming business, he told San José Spotlight foot traffic hasn’t picked up since immigration enforcement landed on the local news at the start of the year “I’m hoping folks will come back to Tropicana because we need them not just for their business — we miss seeing our regulars in the community.” Flores, the Mexican Consulate and Councilmembers Bien Doan and Peter Ortiz hosted a business showcase event at the Tropicana Shopping Center earlier this month that included numerous business owners in the area Doan said his office also co-hosted and led evens in the Latino community including Negocios Unidos and Comunidad Segura said she wants to see more business showcase events because they need a financial boost and customers need more reasons to come out in numbers She said city officials can help by hosting more events and considering rent assistance for East San Jose small business owners “We’ve been

It seems like the Spartans truly have a shot at the Mountain West But one non-conference game sticks out more than the rest: the road trip to Texas in Week Two The Longhorns are coming off a College Football Playoff Semifinal appearance where they fell to the future national champions Ohio State the Longhorns took down ranked Vanderbilt and Michigan as well as rivals Oklahoma and Texas A&M and a very successful third season under head coach Steve Sarkisian The Longhorns are losing their starting quarterback most notably incumbent starting quarterback Arch Manning who has been waiting his turn to be the star of college football but have notably lost star receiver Nick Nash to the NFL bringing back quarterback Walker Eget and running back Floyd Chalk IV are huge for San Jose State San Jose State opens the season against Central Michigan at home a MAC team who finished 4-8 the season prior the defending national champion who knocked them out of the playoff The Spartans should theoretically build momentum after an expected easy win over Central Michigan will be coming out of what the college football public hopes will be a slugfest the Horns will be heavy favorites going into the matchup and Manning is having a poor start to his career the great Spartan defense could give the Longhorns a ballgame San Jose State has expectations of competing for a Mountain West title

Dave Cortese’s Senate Bill 550 proposes establishing a law school at San Jose State University by integrating it with state-accredited it would be San Jose’s first public law school The CSU board of trustees would also need to approve the plan The bill has passed the Senate Education Committee and is headed to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday Cortese said creating the public law school would lower barriers to entry as cost and location can turn people away from entering careers in public service — including first generation students and other underrepresented demographics The expense and lack of public law schools make law careers out of reach Asians and Latinos are underrepresented among licensed attorneys statewide As the average law school debt exceeds $130,000 creating an affordable law school would help diversify Silicon Valley’s legal pipeline “We had all sides saying they’re willing to come to the table and try to negotiate a deal,” Cortese told San José Spotlight “You need a bill to do something like this “The more we can help contribute to legal representation legal services and legal opportunities being available to more folks in this community … the better,” Amezcua told San José Spotlight “It’s critical because the traditional law school path is expensive What we see is people that would not even consider attending a law school … that’s one of the barriers it breaks down.” San Jose State University representatives declined to comment Cortese said the bill has a good chance of going to the governor’s desk as the Senate Judiciary Committee is poised to approve it with some technical changes But SB 550 is not without funding concerns, as Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing cutting $375 million from the CSU system Cortese said tuition and fundraising could help support a new law school — and the financial situation could change in the years it may take to close the deal “It didn’t scare away the chancellor and the president yet,” Cortese said “Let’s see if there’s a marriage here first Then we can figure out how to handle the cost of the administration.” president of the San Jose State University Pre-Law Society said the university gaining an affordable and accessible law school would encourage more people of color to pursue a law degree “SJSU having a law school … will inspire people and tell them their dream can be achieved,” Herrlin told San José Spotlight.” It’s not unrealistic to think that you can attain a quality and affordable legal education.” Contact Lorraine Gabbert at [email protected] I wish instead of trying to create a law program at SJSU that the state focused on establishing a school for Physician assistants or a school that would give us more doctors registered nurses or doctors in the mental health field My niece is a Physician Assistant and the universities dropped the program years ago so she had to go to a private program that was really expensive Just something to think about since we need more people in the medical field than lawyers You must be logged in to post a comment 408.206.5327 [email protected] Tempers flared at a recent community meeting when Latino residents in San Jose’s northside neighborhood advocated for design approval of a Chicano-themed mural Critics of the proposed mural at Backesto Park, including the members of the 13th Street Neighborhood Advisory Committee turned out Wednesday evening for a meeting arranged by City Hall officials hosted by District 3 Councilmember Carl Salas The committee criticized the proposed mural saying they already had art planned for the wall at the park’s handball court before the pandemic even though they had yet to come up with a design Project coordinator Ramon Castillo said support from residents, cultural advocates and, most importantly, the San Jose arts community, proved there’s a huge demand for public art representing Northside and its Chicano community Castillo said he discussed the mural proposal with city officials starting last year and followed the process expecting the mural design to be approved at the Arts Commission April 1 meeting It was then met with unexpected opposition at the meeting “People against the mural said nothing but negative things about it on social media Things have been heating up over this potential project,” Castillo told San José Spotlight “I was inspired to do this mural to commemorate the Mexican American culture something to give back to my community and to my people.” Weeks-long arguments on social media over the mural spilled into Wednesday’s community meeting when neighborhood critics dismissed the mural for numerous reasons — including lack of communication about the project disagreement over the mural’s theme and not wanting the mural at all Shouting matches ensued after a neighbor criticized the mural’s design being exclusively Chicano themed when the neighborhood’s history includes Italian and Asian cultures a 13th Street Neighborhood Advisory Committee representative said they would like to see city officials pump the brakes on the mural proposal to allow the committee more time for creative input on any future project He said city officials should have contacted the advisory committee as soon as they found out about the mural “We don’t want to just be a checkbox that can be ignored once the meeting has been held and that’s how it feels,” he told San José Spotlight “We understand the artists and organizations have put in a lot of work it makes it seem like they’re trying to get this done before we can even exercise our opinion.” Alfonso Salazar and John Garcia designed the art concept for the mural to be preserved on a handball court wall San Jose public art director Michael Ogilvie recommended the Arts Commission approve the mural’s concept and design at the April 21 meeting “The mural will incorporate elements of local indigenous culture the Chicano movement and community life,” Ogilvie said Salazar said the mural is meant to highlight the Chicano culture that’s grown in the neighborhood over recent years. San Jose’s lowrider community was among the largest group of supporters for the mural Salazar said it was important to express the culture’s history on community members who weren’t around during the early years of San Jose’s Chicano boom “I really want to make sure that this mural talks about ourselves our present and our future,” he told San José Spotlight “This is one good place that they can learn in their own neighborhood.” Contact Vicente Vera at [email protected] or follow @VicenteJVera on X so shouldn’t the discussion really center on what corner the city is planning to place the

design process Backesto Park and its environs has a rich history that deserves to be told I wonder what the design would have looked like if more community had been included kudos to Craig Chivatero who thoughtfully and respectfully articulated many community voices for this article This has unfortunately become a divisive situation with many feeling uncomfortable to even share their opinions It

year But a recently-obtained report alleges verbal abuse safety concerns and political weight-throwing caused misery behind the scenes The report — submitted by History San Jose to multiple City Hall officials in February — was kept hush for months until San José Spotlight obtained it through a Public Records Act request History San Jose is the nonprofit organization stewarding the historic homes which hosted the festival in February and sits within the 14-acre Kelley Park The 36-page document raises questions about the festival’s future on the property It alleges festival organizers repeatedly shrugged off major safety and traffic concerns berated History San Jose employees for raising them and “severely” damaged the sensitive park grounds with unauthorized firecrackers despite multiple requests to stop When confronted by History San Jose employees festival organizers — including a prominent Catholic clergyman — claimed Mayor Matt Mahan told them it was okay to set off firecrackers Mahan’s spokesperson Tasha Dean denied this happened “Neither the mayor nor anyone else in our office sanctioned an unpermitted fireworks or firecrackers display,” Dean told San José Spotlight “San Jose is one of the most diverse cities in the nation and that diversity deserves to be celebrated at our shared public spaces — safely Regardless of whether the festival relocates we should expect all events to abide by the rules in place to protect the community.” District 7 Councilmember Bien Doan and Congressmembers Sam Liccardo and Zoe Lofgren (History San Jose) staff stopped trying to stop firecrackers when guests became more emboldened from the night a festival organizer and retired deacon with the Diocese of San Jose where he still assists with Mass every week allegedly claimed to have Mahan’s approval for the firecrackers The report also said Ho “verbally berated” a History San Jose employee who shut off unsupervised inflatables for safety reasons The yelling was so bad the employee didn’t come to work the next day and called her a racist,” the report said “Following a series of abuses by organizing staff HSJ Leadership sent (the staff member) home for her own protection.” The report lists more incidents that allegedly put History San Jose employees through the wringer including being screamed at by vendors and almost getting run over by trucks “We understand that History San Jose may be feeling hesitant about continuing to host the Tet festival especially after how successful and peaceful the last two years have been,” Cao told San José Spotlight respected the venue and cleaned up thoroughly after every event But if there’s a loss of trust or openness then we may have to explore other venues that truly welcome and support the spirit of the Tet Festival.” Cao said History San Jose and the Catholic festival organizers came to an understanding after city officials received the report calling him a respected leader in the Vietnamese community “He’s devoted decades to humanitarian and religious service and I can confidently say he treats everyone with professionalism and kindness,” Cao said “If there were any misunderstandings I’m sure they weren’t intended as disrespectful.” It’s another instance of History Park being caught in a political crossfire “Tet festivals have been a tradition here for over 20 years but these past two years at History Park have taken it to a new level,” Cao said Contact Brandon Pho at [email protected] or @brandonphooo on X Like any other group they should be suspended for 5 years If you cannot be

Planning Commission approved the proposal for another data center located at 1657 Alviso Way in the Alviso neighborhood of Northern San Jose The plan originally brought by the Microsoft Corporation in 2019 was previously stalled but has now been processed alongside a 2022 request for parking exemptions The site comprises two parcels spanning 64.59 gross acres of land along highway 237 and immediately adjacent to the Los Estoros Energy Center The new data center’s construction will require the removal of 79 trees to be replaced with 273 newly planted trees it will include demolition and relocation of an existing 1,440-square-foot Valley Water Purification Visitors Center 1657 Alviso Way Site Map and Current Conditions The project will consist of two single-story data center buildings with ancillary office use The data center will be broken into two buildings of 244,000 square feet and 152,000 square feet both including approximately 13,500 square feet for office usage the remainder allocated for the data facilities Building plans will include 224 natural gas emergency generators to power the facilities in the event of utility failure the buildings will have a maximum electrical load of 99 MW Also to be constructed are a 54,000 square foot water storage tank The new facility will provide a total of 122 parking spaces and 34 bicycle parking spaces for employee usage

prospect made an ill-advised cross-ice pass to White that a backchecking Jack Ahcan intercepted with ease a now-disorganized PK couldn’t pick up Jacob MacDonald’s shot from the high slot which Chris Wagner tipped home to make it 2-0 these weren’t the only examples of the Barracuda not valuing the puck tonight There were too many three-quarter ice pucks that they were able to transition fast [on

playing for Sweden at the Czech Hockey Games Two candidates are headed to a June runoff election to decide who will represent downtown District 3 on the San Jose City Council — and Mayor Matt Mahan’s pick has been shut out The outcome of the race could tip the scales of power at a time where Mahan needs council support to push a controversial arrest-the-homeless agenda that’s made national headlines Tordillos and the mayor look to be finding common ground — especially now that Chavez-Lopez is a mutual rival “Mayor Mahan and I don’t agree on every issue we share a belief that data should drive policy discussions and elected officials should be evaluated by the results they deliver on housing homelessness and crime,” Tordillos told San José Spotlight “This election was not a referendum on the Mayor or any given policy I’m glad that our message of real solutions on housing homelessness and public safety cut through the noise of hundreds of thousands of dollars in special interest spending by Big Oil and PG&E.” Chavez-Lopez said she’s focused on building a broad coalition rooted in “real community leadership.” “I see this race as a clear reflection of District 3’s desire for real solutions that work — not slogans or shortcuts,” Chavez-Lopez told San José Spotlight “District 3 deserves a representative who knows the neighborhoods understands the challenges firsthand and has a track record of delivering real results I’m going to continue to meet voters where they are and offer the proven leadership they’re looking for.” Tordillos declared victory for second place over the weekend after the one-day recount affirmed his six vote lead A total of 9,105 ballots were cast in the special election It’s the fourth San Jose race to trigger a recount in eight years — highlighting the unique political environment around the nation’s tech capital which has become a microcosm for American politics in the digital age and heated issues such as homelessness and affordable housing The outcome of the June 24 runoff could impact Mahan’s agenda to end homeless encampments and appeal to California’s moderate and more conservative political spheres But his efforts hinge on the city council’s help to pass his policies and some question whether Quevedo’s elimination has exposed cracks in that support Mahan said he’s not letting up on his platform and he’ll be watching the race to see whose ideas align with his “The people have told us again and again — the status quo on homelessness is failing Anyone who has run for office knows that and it is their duty to respond and offer concrete solutions for change,” Mahan’s spokesperson Tasha Dean told San José Spotlight “Mayor Mahan has met with all major candidates in this race and will continue listening to debates and forums to determine who has the best ideas for making District 3 safer and ending our era of encampments.” arguing that his pick fell behind because of Chavez-Lopez’s special interest

lottery next Monday with the San Jose Sharks holding the best chance of getting the top pick for the second straight season The lottery to determine the top 16 picks in the June draft will be held at the NHL Network’s studio in New Jersey The lottery is conducted in two phases with the first to determine the No Teams can only move up 10 spots in the order meaning only the bottom 11 teams have a chance at the first pick This draft is not considered to be one of the stronger ones in recent years at the top with defenseman Matthew Schaefer and center Michael Misa of the Ontario Hockey League ranked by the league’s central scouting bureau as the top two North American skaters available The Sharks won the lottery last year and picked Macklin Celebrini first overall Celebrini had 25 goals and 38 assists in an impressive rookie season but San Jose still finished with the worst record in the NHL That gives the Sharks a 25.5% chance of getting the No either by winning the lottery or if the teams in the 12th through 16th spots win and can’t move up to No The Blackhawks won the lottery in 2023 and picked Connor Bedard with the first pick A Division of NBCUniversal DISCLAIMER: This

while Denis Bouanga scored his first league goal of 2025 to lead the Black & Gold to victory LAFC is now 4W-L4-0D on the season for 12 points good for sixth place in the Western Conference Following a tight first half in which each team had chances to break the deadlock LAFC was able to claw in front in the 65th minute thanks to Palencia Bouanga’s powerful shot from the left was parried by San Jose goalkeeper Earl Edwards Jr. but the rebound fell to Palencia at the top of the box and the Spanish defender’s right-footed shot flew into the net It was Plencia's first professional first-division goal of his career LAFC doubled its lead in the 86th minute when Timothy Tillman intercepted a San Jose clearance and quickly played in Olivier Giroud who saw his long distance shot saved by the diving Edwards Bouanga reacted to the rebound and tapped it into the open net from a tight angle The Earthquakes pulled a goal back midway through second-half stoppage time when Cristian Espinoza's deflected left-footed shot from the center of the box hit the back of the net to make the score 2-1 But that would be as close as the visitors would get as LAFC would hold on for the win and three

Sobrato, who is leasing the property to San Jose for $1 annually for the next decade The 135 individual rooms are each equipped with a bed and nightstand The village will have shared bathrooms and kitchen space Nonprofit HomeFirst will provide case management and three daily meals Via Del Oro cost $17.2 million to build on the 2.5-acre site It will take $2.7 million a year to operate “This site is really our first test case of using private land and showing that these kinds of innovative partnerships can work,” Mayor Matt Mahan said at the opening “We have to keep innovating to make sure that every public dollar goes further and has more impact There’s a lot of underutilized private land Sobrato has donated millions of dollars to local temporary housing projects, including $5 million for the 204-room multi-story modular housing site at Monterey Road and Branham Lane He said if the Via Del Oro project turns out well more land is available to expand the facility “We can double the amount of units on the remaining land,” Sobrato said and I’m delighted to have a part in that.” Formerly homeless resident Zachary Plumeau said he’s been given a second chance in life by being offered housing at Via Del Oro Drug addiction caused him to spiral into homelessness four years ago moving from one street to the next whenever a sweep happened Rescuing a dog half a year ago made him realize he needed to get his life together He’s looking at getting his electrical training card reinstated so he can start working as an electrician again “I feel comfortable enough to attack the addiction,” Plumeau told San José Spotlight There is a point at which we have enough beds for everyone in San Jose,” DignityMoves CEO Elizabeth Funk said Contact Joyce Chu at [email protected] or @joyce_speaks on X “Via Del Oro cost $17.2 million to build on the 2.5-acre site It will take $2.7 million a year to operate Will the city track the success rate (ROI) of this program (Like they’ve NOT done for every other program.) “Will the city track the success rate (ROI) of this program?” There’s no mention of whether there are any sobriety it’s pretty easy to predict what this housing and surrounding neighborhood will look like in a couple of years tend not to make good tenants or good neighbors 30 days in a motel room for Sunnyvale residents is a embarrassing slap on the face for ” supposedly silicon valley very high demanding location to live” Santa Clara co government doesn’t care about it’s citizens or they’re just so full of themselves Santa Clara county government is so proud of themselves yet they don’t see how poor San jose looks.

The Westbank representative said they are still working with city officials to satisfy the affordable homes requirement Mahan said the residential buildings will be constructed first, recognizing that data centers are easier to finance amid the AI economy Because data centers won’t bring foot traffic to downtown city officials will explore tying a percentage of the data center’s future revenue to arts we do ask in our multi-signature memo that the builder ensure the ground floor of the data center is creatively activated above and beyond a public art installment,” Mahan said “(We’re) inviting the applicant to be really creative in how we activate that space.” City Planning Director Chris Burton said both projects will likely come back to the city council for final approval after plans are finalized with Westbank He doesn’t want the city to make policy changes that would impact downtown more broadly “We’ve been working hard to entice new residential development especially high rise residential development throughout our downtown,” Burton said at the meeting “The idea here was to … give council the opportunity to give us early feedback on individual projects that we could then craft a process that would follow on the back end.” Contact Vicente Vera at [email protected] or follow @VicenteJVera on X Filled with power hungry CPU’s and GPU’s so people unhappy with their

sleep in tents without fear of being swept this summer “We need a spectrum of solutions,” Mayor Matt Mahan said Monday And you really have to think of these solutions on a continuum and what we’ve done for far too long is embrace a status quo approach that has left thousands of people with no options thousands of people to live (outside) with no sanitation The city will implement a no encampment zone near the site on both sides of Coyote Creek from Mabury Road to East Empire Street Outreach teams have already created a list of people encamped around the vicinity who will move to the safe sleeping site once it opens city Housing Director Erik Soliván told San José Spotlight The site is fashioned after a similar safe sleeping site in San Diego though Mahan said San Jose is starting smaller to ensure it can manage the site properly Mahan said last year the safe sleeping site would open in March but Public Works Director Matt Loesch said the plan has always been to open the site in June “Our plan has always been this schedule,” Loesch told San José Spotlight Residents have raised concerns about the site’s proximity to Empire Gardens Elementary School and Watson Park Homeless people set up camp along nearby Coyote Creek and the city in recent weeks began sweeping the area and setting up no encampment zones Neighbors are worried about increased crime and drug dealing in their neighborhood due to the safe sleeping site The city will track data on the number of 911 and 311 calls how active residents are with case management as well as whether the city is meeting its goal of moving people out within 30 days The city will also conduct background checks on participants to ensure sex offenders won’t live at the site city officials previously told residents at a community meeting last year Resident Jefferey Hare said he’s happy to see the city taking this step to restore the park and trails for public use He said it’s up to residents to keep the city accountable on its promises “The city can’t just put up the tents and lay down the water lines and do these structures here and then walk away,” Hare said at the groundbreaking “They’re going to have to keep on this thing and make sure that it works.” a 69-year-old homeless man hanging out at nearby Watson Park thinks the safe sleeping site is a good idea He’s staying at an overnight warming shelter he doesn’t know where he’ll go He said he’s been homeless on and off for the past three decades and hasn’t been offered a space at the site “I would want it,” he told San José Spotlight Contact Joyce Chu at [email protected] or @joyce_speaks on X Can anyone explain why we always put our homeless encampments at the parks for our youngest children is at Watson Park where thousands of small boys and girls play soccer and flag football year-round We already have to deal with the smell of pot and trash fires burning in the encampments Remember when city leaders tried to put FEMA trailers in the parking lot of Happy Hollow Is the city intentionally working to drive families away Am I the only one in the city who loves their children enough to know and state that this is wrong I’m really wondering why everyone votes for the people they do Why doesn’t the city use imminent domain on abandoned buildings and properties that already are connected to the infrastructure I think the city is on the right track to help people who want a safe place to be and hopefully receive services to find them a permanent home There are too many people on our streets and creeks and some are working and some are disabled and probably will never be employed the Mayor is trying to clear our city’s street and they have control on who is eligible for these sites Supportive housing applicants are placed by Santa Clara County and these people might not be from our city but other cities and the county decides who we get Having said all of this my hope is that our Mayor and Council develop a policy for supportive housing like they have for these safe sites Second Street Studios needs help and a similar policy would improve living conditions there and for our neighborhood Spartan

lack of a dedicated management team in the emergency room Nurses at Good Samaritan are represented by California Nurses Association/National Nurses United (CNA/NNU) “The volume of patients in our ER is extremely high largely due to HCA cutting vital services at Regional Medical Center nearby,” said Maria Luisa Diaz RN in the Good Samaritan emergency room since 2005 “We lack resources to handle HCA’s self-inflicted problem which causes massive safety issues for patients but management refuses to provide adequate staffing even though there are nurses available and willing to work.” and nurses are ringing alarm bells,” Luisa Diaz added “When we are forced to provide care to patients in a waiting room it is extremely dangerous and unfair to those seeking help HCA can and should do better for our community.” Who: RNs at HCA Good Samaritan HospitalWhat: Rally for patient safetyWhen: Monday “My family has worked in this hospital for generations,” said Kylie Garcia RN in the emergency department and a third-generation nurse at Good Samaritan I've watched our hospitals deteriorate under HCA's management to a new low But HCA just refuses to work with us to guarantee safe patient care.” I witnessed the hospital management constantly doing things to jeopardize patient safety in order to make more profit,” Garcia added “This culture is disheartening and deeply upsetting and it weighs heavily on my heart and mental state to walk into ER every shift when I don’t know what to expect and what kind of dangerous situations I will be forced to deal with which could have been avoided if HCA put patients first.” CNA represents more than 900 registered nurses at HCA’s Good Samaritan Hospital California Nurses Association/National Nurses United is the largest and

However, when cited homeless residents ask Rhodes to check their court date or if they have a warrant Rhodes said he’s been unable to find corresponding court dates “I don’t know if the DA is declining filing,” he said “I don’t know if the city attorney is declining filing I don’t know if the officers aren’t turning in a name I don’t know what’s going on.” nuisance and littering are handled by the city attorney’s office since the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office only prosecutes misdemeanor and felony offenses Supervising Deputy District Attorney Brandon Cabrera said city ordinances and citations are handled by the respective city attorney’s office,” Cabrera told San José Spotlight my office does not currently prosecute these offenses nor do we have any relevant data to provide.” However, his office is in talks with the city on how to handle the new policy pushed by Mayor Matt Mahan that would arrest homeless people for trespassing if they refuse shelter after three offers City Attorney Nora Frimann did not respond to requests for comment on how her office handles trespassing and littering citations Officers with the San Jose Police Department are required to issue electronic citations They acknowledged there are certain instances where paper citations may be given out A copy is given to the individual and the original is filed away at the records unit A final approved copy is sent to the court liaison “Paper citations are eventually entered into the records management system but the process is not expedient,” the spokesperson told San José Spotlight “Paper citations are tracked in an internal management system that is not accessible to the crime analysis unit who fulfilled your initial data request inquiry.” A records request from this news organization to SJPD asking for the number of citations around Cherry Avenue for trespassing littering and noise from the end of last year to date came back with no results “It is very likely the individual who you first spoke with that provided you with this info alleging they were issued a trespass citation was in fact actually issued a citation for something other than trespassing,” the spokesperson said The spokesperson reiterated handwritten citations don’t “fall through the cracks.” “All paper citations still get processed and sent to (a) court liaison regardless if the original recipient loses their copy or not,” the spokesperson said A search on the county court website for the people San José Spotlight interviewed showed no recent citations A worker at the police records unit told San José Spotlight all paper citations are stored in the records unit and should be entered electronically so courts are aware of the violation before the scheduled hearing — which is normally 45 days from the date of citation If the citation is not entered electronically and the person shows up for court the courts turn that person away and a new court date will be issued via mail Since homeless people don’t have addresses a bench warrant will be issued and police will see it the next time they encounter the person’s name The records department prioritizes entering handwritten citations for homeless people Though he no longer handles that type of work he used to see about six to seven citations for homeless people every week ranging from trespassing to being drunk in public One homeless resident who wished to remain anonymous for safety reasons told San José Spotlight police showed up at his tent around February and handed him a handwritten ticket for trespassing The homeless resident said he threw the ticket away “They can’t force money out of you if you don’t have it,” he told San José Spotlight a homeless resident who didn’t want his last name printed for privacy reasons said police come to Cherry Avenue regularly He’s said he’s gotten three tickets for trespassing When he showed up to court one time on a trespassing citation he said his case wasn’t even on the docket “(Police) come in and just start taking everything they take our clothes,” he told San José Spotlight “They just give us tickets for no reason.” Contact Joyce Chu at

disrespect for laws and the expectation that the laws should not apply to them Every business near Cherry Avenue has signs warning about increased crime and many have even been forced to hired extra security so their patrons and property is not damaged It is very sad to see the unhoused terrorize our community “San Jose homeless people say police citations are harassment” I say mentally ill and drug-addicted homeless people need treatment in institutions until they can care for themselves and rejoin the general population so there’s ways that the court system can be used to arrest people.” but many homeless are not signing up for treatment or institutionalization the citations may not “force money out of you if you don’t have it” but will result in jail time if they don’t pay Getting people off the streets is the priority Make it free to all if we think it should be free The laws apply to everyone and unhoused people that believe they are above the law should not be rewarded with free housing Prioritize housing for the people without citations I’ve lived here since 2000 and watched the evolution of this encampment first hand an older 50 something year old couple that had weathered the streets for years in pursuit of their substance abuse At one point Darren was assaulted and had cauliflower ears Rasheeda’s family was able to talk her into treatment I used to give Darren a few bucks now and then until one day I realized I had been giving him money since before my then 14 year old daughter was born I know countless social workers had been out there to talk to him I can tell she’s not going to last much longer out here The lowlifes that have moved in are much more vicious than her or Darren ever were Bathrooms here used to be open to the public Stores used to keep everything out in the open Now Walmart and Safeway lock up the most common items These folks need to be forcefully committed to psychiatric care They’re willing to die out there for a lifestyle choice that allows them to monopolize and trash up public space for themselves as well as be an inconvenient burden for the neighborhood get a failure to appear and have the sheriff take them to jail It’s the only legal way we can force them to take shelter I thought Highest & Best Use principals were being followed in the 21st century – s/ You must be logged in to post a comment
