This wealthy Bay Area beach town is battling to save one road. Billions of dollars in real estate is at stake
A road to some of the Bay Area’s most expensive real estate will flood when the seas rise. When the county said it might not fix it, homeowners threatened “billions in liability.”

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
