Summary

Victor Trần, who said he has run a Milpitas laundromat for about 20 years, told a public comment period audience that the city and his neighbors were helpful and that City Hall can help prospective owners who lack language skills.

Victor Trần, owner of a laundromat, urged prospective entrepreneurs in Milpitas not to be afraid to open businesses and said City Hall can help those who do not speak English well. "Nếu mình không rành ngôn ngữ của mình sẽ có người giúp mình làm những cái chuyện đó," he said, recommending that people go directly to City Hall for assistance.

Trần said he has run his laundry business in Milpitas for about 20 years and described both his facility and the local community as clean and friendly. He introduced himself at the start of his remarks: "Tôi tên là Victor Trần đó là chủ doanh nghiệp... của cơ sở đó là giặt ủi," noting his long experience operating in the city.

He encouraged would-be business owners to take the first step rather than delay: "đừng ngại ngùng gì hết" and "mình đừng ngại," arguing that problems people expect to be difficult can become manageable once they begin. He emphasized that language barriers should not deter applicants because city staff can provide assistance.

The comments were framed as advice from an experienced local business owner rather than a formal proposal or request for City action. Trần concluded by urging others to try starting their businesses and to seek help from city offices when needed.
