Your electric bill may be headed for a political fight.
After a massive SF blackout, lawmakers are talking about breaking up with PG&E.
As a San Jose Realtor, I see how energy costs affect housing, development, and home values.

This is not a tech story. It’s a community story.
In the South Bay, seniors are using VR together to revisit memories and connect in real life. More conversation. Less isolation.
As Silicon Valley ages, this is the kind of innovation that matters.

This sounds like tech news, but it hits homeowners first.
AI data centers are moving into San Jose neighborhoods. They drive up power demand, affect water use, and can impact home values and utility bills. This is why I am paying attention.

Living Longer Isn’t Always Better
Americans are living longer, but many do not want to live to 100. The fear is not age. It’s dementia, money stress, and isolation. From a San Jose housing perspective, health span matters more than lifespan. #HealthyAging #BayArea #Housing

Why #67 is Missing at In-N-Out
In-N-Out staff are skipping order #67! Why? It’s a viral meme called ‘six-seven’ from TikTok & a rap song. Fans are collecting old #67 receipts like collectibles. If your receipt skips a number, you’ve got burger + internet history in your hands!

Everyone online slams California, but here is the part they skip.
GoFundMe just named California the most generous state in the nation. LA ranked first. Marin, Santa Cruz, Ventura, and Santa Barbara also made the top ten.
47 million donations this year.
What is your take?

25 Story Safeway Tower?
SF might replace the Marina Safeway with a 25 story tower and the neighborhood is already on edge. The plan adds 790 homes and a bigger store, but the mayor says it jumps ahead of new zoning rules. Big move for SF housing and Bay Area ripple effects.

Santa Cruz Sea Monster?
100 years ago, a ‘monster’ washed up on Moore’s Beach, Santa Cruz. Long neck, elephant legs, duck-like beak… locals were amazed. Science solved it: a Baird’s beaked whale. Truth turned out bigger, rarer, and stranger than fiction!

A 90 year old driver going nearly 100 mph crashed into Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Company on Thanksgiving.
The cafe was closed, thankfully.
The driver survived, and police are still investigating.
Should California retest elderly drivers or set an age limit?

EV Sticker Perk Ends
California just ended the EV carpool privilege after 25 years. CHP starts $490 tickets Monday, sticker or not. With so many EVs in the South Bay, commutes might get slower. How do you feel about the change?

Where Californians’ Money Really Goes
The average Californian spent $65,000 in 2024 — that’s $8,600 more than the U.S. average. Most of that difference comes from lifestyle spending, not stuff. Here’s how our dollars stack up — and why living here still feels worth it. #California

Public beach access fight
The California Coastal Commission fined a homeowner $1.4 million after finding a private gate blocked public access to a beach and a lagoon. The gate has since been reopened, restoring access to one of the city’s most scenic coastal trails. Will we see more of these?
