Quality of Life
I’ve lived in San Jose for over 23 years. This is a wonderful city, and Evergreen is a great place to live and raise a family, it is incredibly diverse, has some outstanding schools and the feel of a small town. However, there are many issues that we must address right now to improve our city. Affordable housing, well maintained roads and reasonable traffic, safe neighborhoods, and a more friendly business environment are important aspects of a great city. Our challenge is to deliver these, while at the same time balancing the budget.
With your input, maintaining and enhancing the quality of life of the people of Evergreen and San Jose will be what guides my decision making. Why spend our precious resources on things that are not going to make our lives better? Using a quality of life filter will help drive better decision making, because it will focus our government on results that matter to our citizens.
