Downtown San Jose has the jobs, the transit, and over a dozen approved towers, but the missing piece is financing. AB 2074 would create a $500M state revolving loan fund to unlock stalled high-rise housing near jobs and transit. - Councilmember Tordillos www.mercurynews.com/2026/06/24/t...

Tordillos: Downtown San Jose has everything except neighbors

A California law, AB 2074, would streamline the approval process for downtown housing projects, making it faster and cheaper to build new homes close to jobs and transit.

A UCLA researcher found U.S. building codes lack cost-benefit analysis and accumulate rules without removing them. The result: mid-rise buildings cost 55% more per square foot than single-family homes — a gap other wealthy countries don't see. cayimby.org/blog/shining...

As we mourn the loss of Rod Diridon Sr., I know that many of us are reflecting on his legacy as a public transit icon here in Santa Clara County. I wanted to share something about him many of you may not know.

I know that I join many of you across Santa Clara County and beyond in mourning the loss of Rod Diridon Sr., an icon of public transit whose legacy was cemented when Diridon Station was renamed in his honor.

Rod was my sponsor when I joined the Rotary Club of San José. It was a joy to get to know Rod, and last year he shared a story with me that many of you may not know. When he was a rising political star on the County Board of Supervisors and being approached by folks urging him to run for higher office, he had to make a choice: stick to his principles or further his political career.

Rod stuck to his principles. In 1979, he voted to pass a controversial ordinance that banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The backlash was immediate: anti-LGBTQ+ groups rallied attacks on Rod and the other Supervisors and put a measure on the ballot to repeal the ordinance that Santa Clara County voters approved by 40 points. A few months after the vote, Rod ran for state senate and was defeated by a Republican. For many politicians, that could have been career ending. But as he said, “If you don’t vote your conscience, you’re not worth a damn.”

And as we all know, his impact did not end there. Thank you, Rod, for your lifetime of service to Santa Clara County and your tireless work to make the lives of our residents better. Thank you for being an example of putting principles over politics.

Statement from Councilmember Anthony Tordillos in support of survivors regarding the revelations of abuse by Cesar Chavez:

Like many of you, I was devastated to hear revelations over the past two days about Cesar Chavez’s abuse of young women in the United Farm Worker movement. This news comes as a betrayal to all of us who believe in the power of the labor movement. But we cannot allow the actions of one man to diminish the power of working people coming together.

As we continue to learn more, we cannot overlook the bravery that it takes to name an abuser, no matter who they are. We honor the courage of Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and all who have come forward - many of whom remained in the movement and continue to fight for working people.

In light of these allegations, I am calling for the renaming of Downtown San José’s Plaza de Cesar Chavez. My Council colleagues and l are already moving forward with a community-driven process to do so here at City Hall.

Art of the Day - Lunar New Year 2026 新年快樂 - 捍衛民主不要國王 - 還我鄰居 Happy New Year - Defend Democracy No Kings - Return My Neighbors

Watercolor and ink drawing of a Lunar New Year doorway scene. At the top there is red white and blue bunting, red paper banner over door reads 捍衛民主 (Defend Democracy), on either side of the door are vertical red banners, left side reads 還我鄰居 (Return my neighbors) right side reads 不要國王 (No Kings). On the left side there are a couple other posters on the wall, one reads Rooms for Rent and another ICE Out Everywhere. There is writing on the wall "Bring back our neighbor" and on the right there is a No Parking Any Time sign with the PAR covered up so it reads No King Any Time. Above it is a Lunar New Year decoration that looks like a string of firecrackers but instead of firecrackers it's a string of small red cards. The door is painted red with a lantern above and an Immigrants are Welcome Here poster on the front. In front of the door a person is standing, wearing a bright yellow vest and whistle, over a coat and long black skirt. At lower left is a pink shopping bag and a bucket with bamboo growing, at the right is a cardboard box with yard signs.
