"We've got fundamental issues that are challenges our residents every day and we'd be doing better if Sacramento was doing more. And I want to make very clear, that we cannot confuse internet rhetoric with real world results,"
"I think we need to listen when people offer very valid criticisms of our business climate in this case and not try to brush it away but say hey, here are the concrete things we're going to do differently and that was one of the primary point of the op-ed,"
"Newsom's office wished them well - on becoming relevant again."
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan criticized Governor Gavin Newsom's social media tactics and called for a shift toward tangible policy action. He cited California's high unemployment, the state's expensive housing and energy costs, and nearly half of the nation's unhoused population as indicators of pressing problems. Mahan emphasized listening to business criticisms and responding with concrete policy changes rather than sarcasm. He urged stronger implementation of public safety measures such as Proposition 36 and warned that streets are functioning as waiting areas for mental health and drug treatment services. The emphasis was on measurable real-world results over online rhetoric.
