I have been thinking about the current state of city government in San Jose.

It is now the location of Empire Gardens School, a popular park, soccer field, and community garden, and much is – or was – planned for this beautiful neighborhood at the end of Jackson and Empire Streets on Coyote Creek.

My friend Tom, who used to run San Jose a few years ago, asked me to become a blogger. Tom doesn’t ask me for much and always includes me on his mass mailing holiday card list, so I relented.
