During his final State of the City address, Liccardo reflected on San Jose’s accomplishments the last eight years.
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo hasn’t washed his car since April 3, 2013 — the day he drove the Chevy Volt off the dealership lot.
“Throughout our history, San Jose has thrived by overcoming temporal myopia, by fixing our focus on the future,” Liccardo said. “Saving for the future. Investing for the future. That’s the ethos of generations of immigrants that have shaped San Jose’s character: sacrificing in the present, even in the toughest of times, for a better future for our children.”
The city is in the process of erecting hundreds more quick-build units with the goal of 1,000 under development by the end of the year. Liccardo said that wouldn’t be possible without the city getting its “financial house in order.” For the first time in two decades, San Jose’s budget office is projecting a modest surplus for the next five years.
“We have inspired other cities, and even the California legislature, to propose similar legislation,” Liccardo said. “We’ve also inspired a few groups to sue us. But with the successful advocacy of Tamara Prevost and City Attorney Nora Frimann, we will continue to fight to protect the lives of our kids in court, in City Hall, and in our neighborhoods.”, who reunited publicly for the first time since their KBAY-FM morning show went off the air in 2016.
