- Comprehensive Planning and Infill Development
-
Michael's plan would promote a vibrant downtown and livable neighborhoods by putting a priority on infill development. As mayor, Michael will conduct an "infill audit" to find appropriate development sites downtown and along transit corridors. Michael's vision for smart planning will help keep San Jose the Bay Area's most livable city while promoting our economy and our rich cultural life.
- New Financial Management Efficiencies and Procurement Reform
-
Michael's plan will fundamentally rethink the way that San Jose procures goods and services by implementing proven best practices already being used by governments at all levels throughout the U.S. By introducing the right mix of performance standards, financial incentives, procurement administration, monitoring, and measurement systems, San Jose can significantly cut costs and increase the quality of service.
