@jborbons @DjMaC910 @BrodieNBCS @MLB Would love to see it. We sued @MLB to make it happen, & they spent $10 million on attorneys. Our attorney, Joe Cotchett, handled our case pro bono (for free) & did a great job, but we couldn’t get @Scotus to hear the case to consider overturning the antitrust exemption. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@jborbons @DjMaC910 @BrodieNBCS We were on our way to doing so, but @MLB continues to be the only industry in the US that can flout antitrust laws, preventing a team owner from moving the team to America’s 10th largest city. — PolitiTweet.org

@Pankaj_K_Singh All of us create trash, and if we’re living outside, there’s no weekly service to pick up what trash we generate. So, we need to leverage energy of unhoused who want to help themselves. To participate in other efforts to clean our city, pls check out https://t.co/5KcDKFZhbz — PolitiTweet.org

@Pankaj_K_Singh There’s absolutely nothing we can do in SC County to make our n’hoods “clean & hygenic” if we have 10,000 neighbors living outside. This trash-for-cash program leverages willingness of unhoused to clean up at a small fraction of what taxpayers would be paying a contractor. — PolitiTweet.org

People often point at the homeless as ‘the problem’ as they look at the blight in our community. Cash for Trash provides a pathway for our homeless neighbors to be part of the solution w/ cleaner communities & more bridges to services + assistance. https://t.co/W8IvwacRwl — PolitiTweet.org

@CalvinW98290762 @sjcityhousing @SCCgov @HomeFirstSCC We’ve used modular construction now in four affordable developments for formerly homeless, but three are single story (much cheaper to build). Will be looking at a stackable mode for the 5th project....stay tuned — PolitiTweet.org

@Adam19745359 Adam, I’m sorry—have been struggling trying to figure out how to help. You’re looking for an early stage Angel investor, it seems, and just don’t know many folks in that space. Will respond with more in a bit when I hear from one of my colleagues — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

The @CityofSanJose partners with @MasterCard & @valleywater to launch "Cash for Trash". We’re battling blight in San José by engaging & mobilizing homeless residents to clean up trash at encampments in exchange for pre-loaded cards. https://t.co/eTcztz5lYU — PolitiTweet.org

I extend my deepest gratitude to all our veterans for their sacrifice & service to our country. In 5 yrs, @AllThWayHomeSCC has housed 1,940 homeless veterans thanks to partners at @DestinationHome, @HomeFirstSCC, @HealthTrust, @sjcityhousing, @SCC_HousingAuth, & Goodwill SV. https://t.co/aAfmBFj3Ip — PolitiTweet.org

@DinoManelli Dino, we’ve added a net of >300 officers since 2016, and will keep pushing to rebuild as much as our budget allows. I’ve been explicit about my decision not to defund. — PolitiTweet.org

Super impressed by the very nimble & good work by @sjcityhousing , @SCCgov & great community partners like @HomeFirstSCC — getting 1,377 #homeless permanently housed & nearly 3,000 more moved off the street into temporary housing during this #pandemic #CommunityConquersCovid — PolitiTweet.org

San José is now the #1 innovative city in the nation. We're responding to COVID by launching a host of new emergency services, incl. the distribution of 2.4M meals/wk to feed our neighbors & expanding broadband to connect 100k+ residents to the internet. https://t.co/Wvsj4Ae0rD — PolitiTweet.org

@BoomBoomCrew1 I’m not privy to the decisions of the District Attorney on these cases. I would speculate that in many or some cases there was a lawful arrest, but they had difficulty identifying witnesses amid the chaos of public unrest, and witnesses are ultimately needed to secure conviction — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@RGirl262 @svgop @SCCDP @IvankaTrump @JFlemingSJ @patwaite I agree that it benefits nobody to refer to people we disagree with as “evil.” Joe Biden has made this point emphatically this week, and I’d hope that the local party’s communications team would heed those words. — PolitiTweet.org
