Editorial: Good, bad in much-needed plan for Bay Area housing crisis
By Mercury News & East Bay Times Editorial Boards | PUBLISHED: December 19, 2018 at 5:15 am | UPDATED: December 19, 2018 at 5:24 am A coalition of divergent Bay Area interests has come together on a plan to confront the region’s housing crisis. The group’s so-called CASA Compact, unveiled last week and up for its first public review at the Metropolitan Transportation Commission on Wednesday, provides a serious foundation for a much-needed discussion. It hits the target on several fronts but misses the mark on others. It recognizes, for example, that easing the crisis requires addressing rent gouging, reducing barriers to residential construction and changing zoning around transit stations to enable denser housing. But it fails to examine how much responsibility employers, especially in the Silicon Valley, have to participate in solving the crisis. And while calling for more housing near job centers, the compact ignores the traffic-easing potential of providing more … [Read more...] about Editorial: Good, bad in much-needed plan for Bay Area housing crisis

By Jerry McDonald | [email protected] | Bay Area News GroupPUBLISHED: December 19, 2018 at 5:00 am | UPDATED: December 19, 2018 at 5:25 am A look at how NFL teams rank going into Week 16: 1. New Orleans (12-2) Drew Brees’ ability to lead an offense and complete short passes combined with legitimate balance and a stout defense make the Saints NFC favorites. Last week: 2 Next: Pittsburgh 2. L.A. Chargers (11-3) Have pretty much taken Philip Rivers for granted, considering he’s never mentioned here as a contender for the MVP. He should be. And don’t you want to see an AFC title game in StubHub? Last week: 4 Next: Baltimore 3. Kansas City (11-3) Chiefs fans getting nervous, and rightfully so. The offense has cooled ever so slightly with the weather, and the defense has been suspect all along. Last week: 1 Next: at Seattle 4. L.A. Rams (11-3) For those of you keeping score, that’s 22-6 for the two Los Angeles based teams against 7-21 against … [Read more...] about Jerry McDonald’s NFL power rankings: Saints No. 1; L.A. is embarrassing Bay Area
Last Refuge: A Bay Area RV community bands together to fight City Hall
Story by Louis Hansen | Photos and videos by Dai Sugano Published: December 19, 2018 Surrounded by the wealth fed by tech titans like Google and Facebook, a small community of blue collar RV dwellers is fighting for the only place they can call home. Lisa Cosey-Stevens (below) works for San Mateo County. She loves her job. But despite steady work and little debt, she trudges back and forth to the office every day from a dark RV trailer, packed floor to ceiling with bags of clothes, pet supplies for her seven dogs, thriller novels and food. September 2018 Cosey-Stevens, 63, has been parked on the shoulder of Bay Road in East Palo Alto, just about two miles from Facebook headquarters and some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, since June. “No one knows how badly I want out of this,” she said during an interview in her trailer. “It’s depressing to live like this.” She’s part of an unplanned and impromptu RV park, about 80 … [Read more...] about Last Refuge: A Bay Area RV community bands together to fight City Hall
Here’s what those Bay Area weather terms you always hear actually mean
By Amy Graff, SFGATE Published 8:54 am PST, Wednesday, December 12, 2018 Diablo winds: The offshore winds blowing hot air from the interior to the coast are commonly called the Diablo winds in the San Francisco Bay Area. (They're known as the Santa Ana winds in Southern California.) They most often kick up in the spring and fall. These are the same winds that howled wildly on the night of Oct. 8, spreading flames and embers across Northern California's Wine Country and amplifying fire conditions. On that night and in days after, gusts reached up to 70 miles per hour. less Diablo winds: The offshore winds blowing hot air from the interior to the coast are commonly called the Diablo winds in the San Francisco Bay Area.
