📰 News we're reading
• Will San Jose mayor face fallout after running for governor? (sanjosespotlight.com) — San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan’s failed run for governor is sparking questions about his commitment to the city, his missed council meetings, and even early chatter about a recall. Supporters say he elevated San Jose’s priorities statewide, while critics argue his tech backing and absences weakened his local standing. The fallout could shape his agenda and reelection prospects. 
• Are Californians ready to give up their cars? A San Jose apartment tower put that to the test (santacruzsentinel.com) — Downtown San Jose’s Fay apartment tower is struggling with high vacancies and foreclosure, and the city is stepping in to master-lease nearly 200 units for public employees despite limited parking. The story explores how San Jose’s move to eliminate parking requirements is colliding with residents’ car dependence, from East San Jose affordable housing to new downtown conversions like the Bank of Italy building. Officials are betting cheaper rents and walkability can offset parking headaches.
• Bay Area police arrest man in theft of $50,000 in vehicle charging equipment (sfchronicle.com) — San Jose police arrested a 53-year-old man suspected of stealing more than $50,000 in vehicle charging equipment from a Great Oaks Boulevard business, after tracking him with surveillance and license plate readers. The suspect was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail, and detectives are asking anyone with information about similar thefts to contact the San Jose Police Department’s financial crimes unit.
