July 2012, So how low are San Jose's STANDARDS OF CODE ENFORCEMENT, IN REALITY, NOT ON PAPER? Google Map Street View 1144 DeLynn and 1150 DeLynn, San Jose, Ca. 95125,,, shockingly low evidently !!

The two front yards are full of weeds.
For years. One house is vacant and one is occupied, and both are owned by the same jerk.  Look at all the other well cared for houses and yards on the one block street, and then these two eyesores!!  Shocking that San Jose can not enforce the city's Codes.  


You call the highly paid civil servants in San Jose's Code Enforcement Department, and you get an 'i don't care attitude, i am too busy doing nothing at my desk, and i will lie to you and support the violators vs enforce the Code, my job' attitude.  Yep, straight out lies to neighbors, city voters !!


Check out 2570 Gerald Way around the block from DeLynn, and they new owner has been parking , illegally against the City Code , again, for months on his lawn, weeds , or dirt.  Illegal.  Code Enforcement staff says , 'yes we have been by there , and yes it is a clear violation, but no we are not doing much about it.' San Jose's reputation for getting anything done is in the toilet !!


What about the neighbor's property values?  What about just ENFORCING THE CITY LAW AND ORDINANCES !  What about 'city-beautification' ,,, 
Ha!  Just lip-service b.s. from do-little politicians,,, again,,,The west side of hwy 101 is MUCH SAFER than the Eastside, but for how much longer, when the police are so,,,  no show,,, no go,,, unavailable to do their jobs?


Mid-block on Gerald Way there is an illegal business, Mexican-american, of a cleaning service with illegally parked cars for the business of people that do not live there.  Again , another clear City Code violation, yes that the San Jose City Code Enforcement Department is well aware of, because of all the neighbor's complaints.  It is one thing to have too many people living legally in an ugly two story house, but for the City to allow Mexican-americans to violate the Code because of race-nationality, probably, is just plain wrong !!


Next door is an illegally parked RV that has not moved for years.  It is inoperable, and thus illegal.  San Jose City Code Enforcement staff has the dishonor to bold face lie that 'i went out there and had the owner move it, so it does run, is not Inoperable, and thus legal."   If you look at the wheel wells of the RV and all the cobwebs, you can see for yourself the RV has not moved in years.


Go over to Hauck, about a mile south, and there were 2 DISASSEMBLED CARS IN A FRONT DRIVEWAY,,, FOR YEARS!! ,,, UP UNTIL JUST A MONTH AGO.  Because of the neighbor's complaining.
NOT because of the City of San Jose employees, overpaid and over-pensioned for way way way too long, are doing their jobs well or even adequately.


Why do we have such low standards for the work of well paid city employees and civil servants?!!  I am mad-as-hell about it and from the recent votes in San Diego and San Jose, the public will not stand for the SJPD police taking one of the highest salaries and pensions in the nation and under-performing shamefully for it !! Neither the police or fire being allowed to illegally claim full or partial disability and full pension, when the City can not afford it for decades and has been foolishly passing this cost onto the debt of some distant future generations, instead of having a positive balance and surplus fund and highest credit rating,AAA, unlike the nation's lowered credit rating, that thanks to the Republicans is COSTING ALL OF US MORE TO BORROW AT A HIGHER INTEREST RATE BECAUSE OF POORER LOWER CREDIT SCORE !!


Hopefully the Nation will wake up and vote out all malingering obstructionist anarchist Republicans who ,with their 'no' debt limit votes and unconstructive 'our way or no way' posturing instead of helping the USA, are directly responsible for the economic crisis President Bush43 left us in in 2008. Remember how horrible those 8 years were?  Most of us have such short memories and are so impatient. But the catastrophic mess left by Bush43 and the Republicans will take , AT LEAST ANOTHER 4 YEARS FOR THE DEMOCRATS ,,, AND THE GREENS,,, TO CLEAN UP !!

Time to vote out the do-little San Jose City Council? Probably.
