Please list three issues facing the City that you feel the Council should address.
1) Many older residents live on fixed incomes. San Jose needs to explore creative ways to help these residents get more for their money. 2) Make sure that recreational facilities are accessible to older adults and elderly residents with mobility issues, so that they can share in enjoying our parks and recreation centers. 3) Figure out ways to create interactive environments that help our senior residents avoid becoming reclusive and alone.
