In addition to the wasted money listed in the article, there were so many rounds of environmental studies, feasibility studies, city council approvals, public input and approvals, and now they are going to start all over again. I would love for Spotlight to do some investigation into the total cost of this project so far.

And $3 million dollars went poof. At least Borkehagen got paid. Cool half mil to accomplish nothing at all. With exploding homelessness, did anyone really think it was a good idea to flush $200 million down the toilet on this idea? Californians really need to adjust their priorities.

Bork goes into city hall ranting Carl should be city council person. Bork gets paid $100k plus from donors to the breeze. Breeze floats away like the breeze. Money moves. Nothing gets done. Typical. These geriatric narcissistic guys are too much.

San Jose deserves better than a vanity project championed by a select few and judged by a panel handpicked to rubber-stamp his vision. Our community should be guided by inclusive, transparent decision-making—not by the preferences of a narrow circle.
