glad to see Gilroy taking a proactive approach to locality building through its downtown food truck pilot effort Encouraging food trucks not only revitalizes inhabitants spaces by offering citizens a casual place to hang out but it also supports local entrepreneurs and provides affordable dining options Unlike traditional restaurants food trucks have lower startup costs making it easier for emerging chefs to share culturally rich meals With thoughtful planning this initiative could even help ease food insecurity for vulnerable residents and serve as a model for other cities More communities should embrace creative inclusive strategies like this to expand economic opportunities strengthen local beliefs and make quality affordable food more accessible Carissa Wu Los Altos Mahan s homeless plan is a balanced approach Re Idea for arrests picks up sponsorship Page A June Thanks for highlighting the value of Mayor Mahan s Responsibility to Shelter initiative as there is much misinformation that has been repeated ad nauseam Healthier communities are built when we combine compassionate care with responsible governance The city of San Jose s RTS framework seeks to balance the urgent need to reduce unsheltered homelessness with the responsibility to keep society spaces safe and accessible for all Richard Ajluni San Jose Typically Trump shirks Ukraine war promise Re Trump says it may be better to let Ukraine Russia fight for a while Page A June During the presidential campaign Donald Trump made the promise to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict on Day One And now unable to fulfill his word again he thinks they should continue the war His remarks about two young children fighting like crazy and sometimes you re better off letting them fight for a while are not only a bad analogy but also show a real lack of maturity If he was even around I wonder if he would have let Don Jr Ivanka or Eric fight other children like crazy for a while His schoolyard attitude toward international diplomacy like his name-calling and bullying reveals his true character childish and not befitting a real president The TACO acronym Trump Constantly Chickens Out is very fitting for him Whenever he is unable to resolve an issue regardless of promises he just withdraws Thomas Rudolph Brisbane Why is Trump taking it easy on Musk If there s one thing everyone knows and agrees on it s that Donald Trump is a get-even kind of guy He goes after his perceived enemies and anyone who disagrees with him He name-calls hurls insults and threatens anyone who tries to stop him or his agenda That should give us pause when we see his reluctance to say anything harsh or insulting about Elon Musk For the first time I can remember Trump has bit his tongue He has refrained from calling out Musk and even didn t respond when Musk suggested Trump was part of Jeffrey Epstein s damaging files even when Musk reposted a comment suggesting impeachment Am I the only one wondering just what Musk has on Trump Here s hoping their bromance is over for the sake of our country Lynda Martinez San Jose Israel critics silent on U S antisemitic violence We read letters to the editor regularly condemning Israel for its actions in Gaza But where are those voices when Jews are attacked and murdered here in America The silence is profound I have one question for them You may believe what you want but the reality of who is committing acts of terror violence and murder in our own country cannot be camouflaged with lies Look to your own streets What do you see Think about that the next time you feel obliged to comment on what you have heard and ignore what you see happening around you Richard Kroll San Jose Conservatives allowing Trump s worst impulses In the mornings I watch CSPAN One hundred percent of the Republican and majority of of the independent voters who call in love Donald Trump and what he s doing in office Related Articles Letters Oakland must do right by California Hotel s tenants Letters San Mateo County s return to death penalty is wrong Letters Downtown Brentwood station would be good for entire county Letters Proposed transit tax for BART isn t supportable Letters Donald Trump s cuts to research will set the U S back Trump will get worse and with the help of the conservative Supreme Court he will get away with almost anything The only way to stop him is to vote him out That may never happen with what Trump and the Republicans are allowing him to get away with The conservatives on the Supreme Court just allowed DOGE complete access to our Social Protection numbers bank account facts tax information and earnings history All in the name of combating waste fraud and abuse I have no doubt Trump will use this information for his own benefit to suppress those who go against his will Thomas Sutton San Jose
