San Jose's new mayor, Matt Mahan, wants to tackle homelessness, blight and crime.
A photo hanging in the lobby of San Jose City Hall still lists Mayor Matt Mahan as the District 10 councilmember.
"I feel great, I'm ready to get to work," Mahan told San Jose Spotlight on Monday. "We have a lot of challenges, but also a lot of opportunities in San Jose. I'm just excited to finally be on the job." The transition groups will be chaired by a councilmember, and each will be charged with picking metrics to measure success on core issues. This will be posted on the city website so the public can track progress, Mahan said.
He'll also announce his pick for vice mayor this week, which will be put to a council vote on Jan. 10. He said his focus on dealing with homelessness is to ensure the 1,000 interim homes the council approved last year under Mayor Sam Liccardo get built quickly and cost effectively. Mahan believes the main issue is an overall lack of housing supply, and wants to do everything possible to keep costs down on development, especially in priority areas such as downtown, where only one high-rise has broken ground in the last five years.
