San Jose needs a new positive city motto, tag line or slogan that describes who we are, our values, vision, strengths, how we differentiate San Jose, and what we desire for our city’s future.
Our current / previous slogans were fine but now seem outdated
Capital of Silicon Valley
San Jose Is Growing Up
3 suggested new San Jose mottos or slogans
The Best People and Quality of Life
The Best People, Businesses and Neighborhoods
The Best People, Businesses and Quality of Life
The new slogans should reflect the reality of San Jose as it is, not how we wish it were:
We’ll Build Houses Anywhere, Anyplace
Our Streets Are Worse Than Yours
We’re #10 – Big Deal
Our City Council Has More To Hide Than Yours Does
The Capital of Unfinished Investigations
Our Mayor is Sorrier Than Your Mayor
Why not steal the motto of Cocoa Beach, FL. Which is, “Welcome to World Famous Cocoa Beach.” Of course we would need to substitue the words “San Jose” for “Cocoa Beach.” Or not.
Paris is the city of lights.
San Jose is the city of lies.
This isn’t about Gonzales anymore, he has rendered himself irrelevant. This is now about us and the standards we hold for ourselves as a city and as a people.
P.S. I’ve read much of the Independent Investigator’s report. There is no way that the investigation should have stopped! No witnesses had been interviewed. Many questions remain unanswered. This is a scandal and a cover-up. This isn’t over!
The “Mayors’ Race” is not a blog – it is a “tab” that holds blogs written by mayoral candidates. We expect to have many more mayoral blogs by the candidates as we move closer to the election, but never did we expect them to contribute regularly.
They’re not on our payroll and I think they have other things on their minds right now.
John McE 23: Sorry I used the wrong word—‘Blog” vs “tab”.
I know they’re not on your payroll. I don’t believe anything I wrote suggested your complicity in this absence of comment from the candidates.
My point was apparently missed—they are surely aware that the number of contributors to this “blog”—right word, I hope—is far less than its number of readers.
If I were a political consultant, I’d advise them to be in it more than once a calendar quarter.
Calgon, take me away!

Garbage in. . .Garbage out.
I do admire a sense of humor.

San Jose slogans or mottos suggested by San Jose Inside readers
Our rotunda is transparent, our government is not
Scandals are not the only reason to visit San Jose
San Jose 10th largest US city, but trying for #1 in scandals
Our Mayor has more scandals, than your Mayor
Scandal Capital of Silicon Valley
A city without corruption ( a scandal ) is not a Top 10 city
Scandals that happen here, stay here
Where the odds for more city scandals, are with you
America
Ed-
I like the positive spin you gave it. That is another vein we can take here…San Jose’s new slogan…
Top Ten List
Slogans for San Jose
10. We might be the 10th largest US city, but we are just like Fresno.
9. You don’t know the way to San Jose????
8. San Jose- Where we try hard to act like a big city.
7. San Jose- Capital of Costa Rica
6. Come and enjoy or backwater downtown, and revel in our asphalt parking lots, lots of sights and sounds to see.
5. Where the political corruption is just as sweet as in San Diego. [Geared to attract biotech to SJ]

Hey Ed, here is my suggestion:
Building Neighborhoods for a Better City.
With a little more thought:
Building Neighborhoods for the Best City
It’s the neighborhoods, dummy.
Graveyard of Sports Franchises
I sure hate this town now. The sharks were going to save the quakes if they got bribed enough. I guess they haven’t fleeced the taxpayers enough.
Dang Rich, #4 made me laugh out loud. Good one!
Now playing at city hall:
King Gonz. Will he go get Guiselle and go away?
Only $7 (plus $4 more).
Ron? Gone.
Why not steal the motto of Cocoa Beach, FL. Which is, “Welcome to World Famous Cocoa Beach.” Of course we would need to substitue the words “San Jose” for “Cocoa Beach.” Or not.
San Jose… you can smell us coming.
Dear San Jose;
Paris is the city of lights.
San Jose is the city of lies.
This isn’t about Gonzales anymore, he has rendered himself irrelevant. This is now about us and the standards we hold for ourselves as a city and as a people.
P.S. I’ve read much of the Independent Investigator’s report. There is no way that the investigation should have stopped! No witnesses had been interviewed. Many questions remain unanswered. This is a scandal and a cover-up. This isn’t over!

Can’t we get by the End-Ron scandal and all get along for the Holidays?
Graveyard Sports Capital of the World
I bet if we even get a MLB baseball team that they would leave and go, because our City is soo supportive of Pro sports (other then NHL).
San Jose- Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, and so close to everything, where you really want to be at, because SJ SUCKS and Sugam was right.

San Jose—the city where they start a blog called “Mayors Race” and nobody posts for three months.
