"While it's fine to call for civility in our politics, it's not helping when the primary source of that incivility, Trump, gets a pass for childishly calling our governor Gavin New-scum while denying federal aid for one of the worst natural disasters in state history based on petty politics. There have never been such lopsided expectations in our political reporting. There needs to be one set of standards that our leaders are held to."
"There are numerous closed businesses, full of tags and graffiti, along West San Carlos Street, Stevens Creek Boulevard and Bascom Avenue. All those eyesores, including the historic Burbank movie theater, are nothing but a nuisance and, at this rate can't be salvaged. Since that is county land, Santa Clara County should force the owners to clean up the land. Flatten all those properties and make temporary parks with food trucks and live music. They are much more needed than the nasty eyesores currently there."
Donald Trump has engaged in antagonistic behavior, including calling Governor Gavin "New-scum" and withholding federal aid for a major natural disaster, raising concerns about political incivility and the need for uniform standards for leaders. Observers argue that the primary problem at the federal level is the president's dubious mental state and that accountability should begin there. In San Jose, numerous abandoned, graffiti-covered properties along West San Carlos Street, Stevens Creek Boulevard and Bascom Avenue, including the historic Burbank movie theater, are seen as unsalvageable eyesores. Proposed remedies include forcing owners to clear lots, bulldozing derelict sites and creating temporary parks with food trucks and live music.
