Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:19:20 GMT
As the Alameda County Board of Supervisors considers changing their recall procedures, some residents have begun to question whether the move is an earnest effort to modernize the county charter or a blatant power grab.“This repeal is much, much more extensive than the county is presenting to the public,” said Jason Bezis, an attorney for the Alameda County Taxpayers Association. “It’s overreaching, what they’re trying to do.”Questions first arose in October after the county’s lawyer, Donna Ziegler, prepared a report highlighting problems with the county’s current recall rules for elected and appointed officials. According to Ziegler, the county’s laws contained decades-old procedures that were “a detriment to ensuring lawful, competent, and timely recalls.” Her report recommended that the county adopt the state’s recall language instead.Related ArticlesCalifornia Politics | Here’s the first glimpse of who is spending money to oust Alameda County DA Pamela Price ...Thousands of planned homes could vanish as ‘builder’s remedy’ sweeps Bay Area cities

As California struggles to build enough homes for its nearly 40 million residents, developers across the Bay Area could be using a perceived loophole to downsize projects, thanks to a penalty on cities that haven’t yet gained approval for state-mandated housing plans.In the striking turn of events, developers in San Jose are now using the legal mechanism known as “builder’s remedy” to scale back housing proposals because of difficult economic conditions that have prevented high-density projects from penciling out. The move, which is riling the city’s leadership, could be a sign of things to come for other Bay Area cities.One development planned at the city’s flea market near the Berryessa BART station initially was going to have up to 3,450 housing units and millions of square feet for commercial use. The new plan? Just 451 townhomes, 399 apartments and 90 condominiums — plus 45,000 square feet of commercial space.According to the city’...3 passengers sue Alaska Airlines after off-duty Bay Area pilot accused of trying to cut engines mid-flight

By GENE JOHNSON | Associated PressSEATTLE — Three passengers sued Alaska Airlines on Thursday, saying they suffered emotional distress from an incident last month in which an off-duty pilot is accused of trying to shut down the engines of a plane while catching a ride in the cockpit from Washington state to San Francisco.In the complaint filed Thursday in King County Superior Court in Washington state, San Francisco residents Matthew Doland and Theresa Stelter and Paul Stephen of Kenmore, Washington, alleged that the pilot should never have been allowed in the cockpit because he was suffering from depression and a lack of sleep.Alaska Airlines said in an emailed statement that it is reviewing the complaint. “The pilots and flight attendants operating Flight 2059 responded without hesitation to ensure the safety of all onboard,” it added. “We are incredibly proud and grateful for their skilled actions.”Alaska pilot Joseph David Emerson, 44, was riding in the jump seat — an extra sea...Photos: Meet Kendi as Oakland Zoo celebrates first giraffe born at the zoo in 11 years

Q: I commute on Interstate 880 in the South Bay. A while back, Caltrans changed the metering light strategy. Please tell me this is some experiment gone wrong that will soon go away. As I drive to work at 5 a.m. with minimal traffic, the lights are all on, slowing any poor car trying to merge onto the freeway. Same thing on my way home. Transitioning from 237 to 880, we all stop, then go without spacing between vehicles. Why bother?This seems like a waste of fuel/battery charge and a safety concern at some short merges.Russ BakerA: Victor-the-Caltrans-spokesman for Santa Clara County said that advance warning signs were repaired on this connector and the metering light is working. I’m not sure this addresses all the concerns you raised.

(BCN) -- The builder's remedy has come to roost in San Jose, with a major project now planning to scale back by several thousand homes.One of the first significant projects to see a new application under builder's remedy is on the San Jose Flea Market site. The developer plans to reduce the project size to 940 residential units from nearly 3,500 previously approved as a part of a high-density, transit-oriented development near the BART station. Boarded-up San Jose home shown in realtor’s viral video sold for $780K San Jose is beginning to experience the fallout from failing to create a state-approved housing plan, which could allow the state to force San Jose to greenlight housing projects that don't meet the city's general plan, known as builder's remedy.San Jose City Councilmember David Cohen represents District 4, where the Berryessa BART Urban Village project is slated.
