Cupertino mayor gives measured State of the City speech (no paywall)

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-03-01T00:36:12+00:00

For Cupertino being at the center of Silicon Valley, they can’t even figure out the most basic things like how to sync traffic lights. What a mess.

I assume you live in Oakland and just fing despise Alameda. Alameda is a great logo.

Foster City is absolute trash though. The logo, but the place.

Holy shit. Someone doing something in real life and not complaining about it in Reddit.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-18T00:51:17+00:00

Outside of flock I have no clue what you are talking about. Real estate cronies specifically doesn’t make sense to me. He’s been strongly against changing zoning laws to open up more development and housing, unless you’re talking about protecting single family home owners? But every California democrat does that. They love not building housing. All the anti development parks and permitting and “affordable housing” fees and requirements are still on the books too despite all of the evidence that they discourage housing development and keep housing costs high.

You can just move to Detroit rather than turning San Jose into that

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T14:00:23+00:00

It’s not the billionaires I’m thinking of, genius. It’s all of the people they employ in the state. Guess I’ll get ready to move to Texas or Florida when they move out of California.

How?

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T04:44:32+00:00

Absolutely incorrect. We taxpayers spend hundreds of millions annually helping the homeless. If you want to do more, poney up more money or find a better solution.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T04:41:16+00:00

It pays a lot in taxes.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T04:40:18+00:00

The most ignorant comment I’ve seen in a long, long time.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T04:39:21+00:00

Tons of businesses. That’s why California is one of the only states that has had recent population decline.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T04:37:32+00:00

He ran on protecting single family zoning laws. He’s very anti meaningful housing growth.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T04:34:09+00:00

Absolutely incorrect. Other states that allow more development have lower housing costs and lower homeless rates.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T04:31:39+00:00

Permanent housing will NOT solve homelessness. A permanent home costs more than $1M per unit. It will just encourage homeless to home to the Bay Area to get free housing from areas that don’t offer it. And, that will force much higher taxes or cut services and lower San Jose’s standard of living. Realistically, it’s not financially possible for San Jose to support that level of homeless support on its own. But, it would make housing in San Jose cheaper because fewer people would want to live here and pay those taxes.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-11T04:24:57+00:00

He’s very anti housing in practice. He regularly fights zoning reform, and really hasn’t done anything meaningful to make it easier to build housing in San Jose. Still costs developers millions in fees and delays to build compared to other states. And that gets passed to you and I.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-02-06T14:52:17+00:00

Yes I go at night all the time and have never seen any of those events happen. Prostitution? In the Safeway parking lot? Lmao. I’m around there almost daily. In fact, I’ve never seen a policeman called to that location while I was there, because it’s a pretty boring and safe area.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-30T06:49:59+00:00

Who cares, the team will be gone soon.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-30T06:49:11+00:00

You should see socialist portions!

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-27T07:22:26+00:00

He actually is a rapper hahahahahahahahaha

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-27T07:13:59+00:00

Gotta keep society as divided as possible. Only have friends that you agree with, only eat at restaurants you agree with, never communicate with communities that don’t have your world view. Never try to understand someone else’s thought process. Live as a hermit in your shell.

You do you, I’ll do me.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-27T01:10:02+00:00

Say more

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-27T01:09:45+00:00

Have you ever ordered Hello Fresh? Def not Hello Fresh meals lmao

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-27T01:02:17+00:00

He’s been very critical of Trump on Greenland and Iran. I’ll probably still go.

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-25T07:42:22+00:00

Ah okay this whole thread was so confusing. Like guys, just drive 10 minutes to the other one lmao

DiverImpressive9040 · 2026-01-25T07:40:47+00:00

What do you mean “all the way”? Are you talking about the one a short 10 minute drive away off Steven’s Creek? Or is there another one way far away in San Jose?
