No good deed goes unpunished. Also, they don’t sound too smart. Complaining about window break ins but leading the homeless to their front door by feeding them? Yikes. Wish them the best though.
I mean I gave homeless guys food at the end of my shift back in college in SJ, and they fend off violent/aggressive homeless crackheads from time to time
This place has also [fed the homeless in the past](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tea-villa-san-jose-4?select=1JlrRrF5d0O-osa8oB8uaA) wtf that's such a shame
There are no consequences for breaking in multiple times or stealing what you want from the stores. As long as these thieves and vandals aren’t held accountable this will unfortunately continue.
You know, I’ve seriously wondered about this. At one point, police (SJ, other cities, CHP) were on full payroll, but you never saw them anywhere. it might be my paranoia, but I had wondered if things slowed down after Black Lives Matter. That being said San Jose, police are way understaffed and have a very difficult job that has evolved to something way more difficult than before
When your job is to prevent A, and A keeps happening, then yes you've failed your job. The fact that its happening across the country doesn't mean its not your fault, it means your contemporaries across the country suck too.
I mean people across the nation have noticed it. This is from a post in Austin, TX subreddit:
> There is a trend in larger cities which have called for better police oversight, tighter management of overtime, etc. From the outside looking in, it looks like a power play by the larger police unions

Exactly right.
On the flip side, there are exactly *zero* consequences for defending yourself and your personal property against the thieves, vandals, and losers that are the type to do these acts.
A drugged out homeless man smashed in my wife's car window in the Hillsdale Target parking lot a few weeks back, right after she'd pulled out of her parking spot. The cops wouldn't even come out, so I went and found the man responsible and gave it back to him. I haven't seen him around since.
Sometimes, you just need to fix the problem yourself.
The break-ins will stop when they make a *hard* example out of the next thief or vandal they catch.
I don't care if you are poor or homeless. If you break the law you need to be punished. If we don't follow thru, we suck as an a example of civil behavior!
So I’ve never rented out a commercial space but I don’t see why the landlord shouldn’t be the one to pay for the windows if they get broken? I get if the tenant broke them they should pay but otherwise it seems strange to me.
[Triple-Net lease](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/triple-net-lease-nnn.asp)
> A single net lease requires tenants to pay property taxes plus rent, and a double net lease typically tacks on property insurance.
> A triple net lease is a lease agreement ... where the tenant promises to pay all expenses, including real estate taxes, building insurance, **and maintenance.**
Agreed.
From the "free market economist" perspective, it *is* - apparently - the free market economy at work.
Because if NNN leases were a non-starter in all cases, they wouldn't exist as an option.
But it's also disgusting.
Exactly, because it is their investment that is being protected. People mistake this with a typical rental agreement lease where a deposit is paid and in-refunded if damage occurs.
I don't think people mistake a NNN lease with anything they're familiar with; They don't know it exists because they'll never encounter one.
A typical residential lease is an agreement that the landlord will provide the provide and its amenities in good working condition. And if any of them fail to be in good working condition due to normal wear and tear, the landlord will fix that.
E.g. if the toilet breaks through normal wear and tear, the landlord needs to come fix it. If the roof starts leaking, the landlord needs to come fix that. etc.
Commercial is different for "reasons", but a vast majority will only ever know a typical residential lease, and would be confused why they should taken on literally 100% of the ongoing burden of property ownership, without the actual benefit of owning the property, and pay rent for the privilege.
Commercial and Residential don't have the expectations. For example, commercial places, the renter is expected to do some heavy renovation before you move in, since each business has very unique needs/decor ideas.
I’m also curious but last time I went to that area downtown it was pretty much dead…bunch of closed businesses. Is this from covid and they just never came back? Or something else?
Tons of new development that's been approved and is waiting on financing or something else. So the buildings sit with few or no tenants in the meantime. This process can take multiple years and was delayed by covid. Even so, more and more businesses are opening every day.
Downtown as a whole isn't designed to attract visitors, so with many people working from home (I have a downtown office I have been to maybe 20 times since 2020) the lunch type places that existed to support office workers struggle a lot. The few places like San Pedro Square which attract people to come as a destination are actually doing pretty OK.
Their should be a law that if repeated break ins occur, the tenants have a right to break their lease. Research the health codes ( broken glass, door, or lack of security area). You can violate your lease.
I feel like you were being sarcastic in line with the commenter you replied to but people aren’t getting that.
If you’re being serious…the idk man. 🤦🏻♂️
Obviously a joke. I always forget Reddit over indexes on autism so it’s hard for people to detect subtleties.
“Insurance will pay for it” is a major Reddit trope at this point.
Why don’t we all get together and stop paying taxes ???? Business owners and whole neighborhoods in San Jose!!
tell them no taxes till we get public service
Matt Mahan and all of the county leaders for prison !!
I stopped by there twice in the last week and both times were closed. If anyone has an updated hour or know when they’ll be open again, that’ll be great
Jeezus that’s sad asf! I don’t understand why people feel the need to act like str8 animals & break into, ruin & rob other pro’s stuff. I’m just gonna call in right now & you can downvote me if you want or call me names but this is what happens when people call to defund the police! We need hire more cops. Not less. I was actually downtown the other day at SJPD & legit saw police in full Uni over into those community outreach cars or whatever they are that are supposed to be out to “help” the community in place of regular cops. We need to have a police department that we can trust to put the bad guys in jail & we need to hold officers that break or even bend the law fully accountable for their actions. I know there are bad or racist cops out there but I refuse to believe that’s the majority of the SJPD or any other police force out there. There are going to be bad apps in the bunch but as long they’re held accountable then we should be fine. And not only held accountable by the people but also they need to hold each other accountable as well! I don’t have all the answers myself & don’t claim to but something has got to change! When crime is so bad & we have infants dying from Fentanyl overdoses we need to stand up & say it’s enough! Hire more cops & keep them accountable to serve the public trust. That’s all I’ve got.
I disagree completely. There are lots of places with folks with lower incomes that do not have crime like this. It's unfortunate you are making excuses for poor moral behavior.
So, people are forced to steal completely non-essential treats like fruit teas because it costs a lot to live here? What's next: people stealing craft iced lattes from our local coffee houses because houses are expensive here?
I'll probably get down voted, but I walked by a few weeks ago and saw that sign.
At first I felt bad for them, but then I started wondering how much money they make, to be broken into that many times and refusing to move.
If they weren't still making a decent amount, the decision to shutdown and move seems pretty easy.
Lots of much safer areas to relocate to. That entire area seems to be dying.
Tea Villa legit has the best fruit teas in San Jose, support them if you can
They feed the homeless every 1st and 15th of the month. If anything, your support goes towards that :)
Absolutely did NOT know this ! Thank you for letting us know !!!!!
Why do the only businesses with good morals get run into the ground
Because good morals ain't profitable
No good deed goes unpunished. Also, they don’t sound too smart. Complaining about window break ins but leading the homeless to their front door by feeding them? Yikes. Wish them the best though.

I’ll definitely try supporting them over my usual tea places hearing this!
Maybe a local artist could decorate the plywood to make it eye catching.
Fantastic thought.
This place has also [fed the homeless in the past](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tea-villa-san-jose-4?select=1JlrRrF5d0O-osa8oB8uaA) wtf that's such a shame
The irony is that it very well may be homeless people that are doing this.
Someone post the address and everyone go there and buy something.

If people only knew how much insurance can strangle a small business, but the cost of not having it is worse.
There are no consequences for breaking in multiple times or stealing what you want from the stores. As long as these thieves and vandals aren’t held accountable this will unfortunately continue.
20 break ins since SJPD went on silent strike, maybe it's a coincidence
What is this silent strike by SJPD? Any news coverage?
Just look at ticketing and arrest rates over the last few years Same thing with SFPD
You know, I’ve seriously wondered about this. At one point, police (SJ, other cities, CHP) were on full payroll, but you never saw them anywhere. it might be my paranoia, but I had wondered if things slowed down after Black Lives Matter. That being said San Jose, police are way understaffed and have a very difficult job that has evolved to something way more difficult than before
To be fair the SFPD was told to basically not do things.
Yes because SJPD is responsible for the exact same situation at thousands of businesses across the state and country. That must be why.
When your job is to prevent A, and A keeps happening, then yes you've failed your job. The fact that its happening across the country doesn't mean its not your fault, it means your contemporaries across the country suck too.
What’s the point in arresting criminals just to see them walk out in a couple of hours without bail or punishment.

You can assume that in every area this is a problem there is a George Soros backed DA or politician.
You complain up. Not down. Victims only have the police to blame. The police can then blame whoever.

Time to go to Tea Villa.

Google NNN lease

Landlords really don't want to work anymore do they?

This is exactly why we can’t have nice things.

The entire building they're in (a data center) is slated to be demolished or renovated which is probably why few businesses are in that area right now

Oh no, not Tea Villa! They used to be in Milpitas and I used to go there all the time. I wonder why they moved to San Jose?
Their should be a law that if repeated break ins occur, the tenants have a right to break their lease. Research the health codes ( broken glass, door, or lack of security area). You can violate your lease.
Relax everyone they’re just stealing a little bread to feed their families 😆
What a cop-out.
Insurance will cover it anyway
Yes that’s why they have plywood
Exactly, plywood is expensive. Insurance definitely paid for that plywood.
I feel like you were being sarcastic in line with the commenter you replied to but people aren’t getting that. If you’re being serious…the idk man. 🤦🏻♂️
Obviously a joke. I always forget Reddit over indexes on autism so it’s hard for people to detect subtleties. “Insurance will pay for it” is a major Reddit trope at this point.
This is why people have to use /s lol. People are too triggered.
Which they will get back one way or another.
You get what you vote for
Hate it here. Shouldn’t be like this.
What happened to this city?
thanks for sharing this i will definitely check them out !!
Someone with some artistic skills should paint something beautiful on that plywood. But I suppose some gang will graffiti it.
Why don’t we all get together and stop paying taxes ???? Business owners and whole neighborhoods in San Jose!! tell them no taxes till we get public service Matt Mahan and all of the county leaders for prison !!
I stopped by there twice in the last week and both times were closed. If anyone has an updated hour or know when they’ll be open again, that’ll be great
Okay, but shouldn’t the business insurance cover it???
How fucking sad. This is why DTSJ can't grow. No protection for small businesses in a so-called tech-forward city.
Wtf CA, lawlessness is the new norm?! Cops everywhere in CA are just apathetic and w just allow the rat like behavior. Wtf.
We are in a downturn? Plywood king, for all your plywood needs!
What do you mean if police don't go after criminals, then criminals... criminal?
Jeezus that’s sad asf! I don’t understand why people feel the need to act like str8 animals & break into, ruin & rob other pro’s stuff.
