To be fair, I zoomed into Silicon Valley. If you zoom out to the entire 101 cities of the SF Bay Area, it gets a little bit more interesting. But still not nearly as interesting as LA

Can someone please check ForCalifornians dot com to let me know what will happen if we don't once again allow people to pay the same *property taxes* for all the houses, apartment buildings, and office buildings they inherit from their parents and grandparents?

4 images that perfectly tell a California story:
A 3 bed 1 bath 988 sqft house sold for $2.8M
In a school district that has to do budget cuts
While trying to help its growing number of homeless students
Meanwhile residents are mad that a Chase will be replaced with 6 stories of apartments

I haven't been following this situation in Santa Clara closely, but...
1. It's hilarious that the guy who lost the election is trying to recall the guy who won the election so that he can have a do-over

3. Half of the lavatories must be ADA compliant. The other half must have some minimum size.

Oh no! Someone's trying to cross the streams by bridging the Everything App into Your Helpful Neighborhood App!
But in all seriousness... what's the real deal with this Rob Bonta situation? Or is this one of those "no one really knows right now so everyone is just doing clickbait" situations?

"We don’t have a housing crisis. We have an affordability crisis. They will want $4000 for a studio or small one bedroom. We have plenty of housing in the Bay Area"
Gary. Your screenshot shows 28,768 available apartments. The Bay Area has 7,765,640 people. That ratio is why housing is unaffordable!

Huh. No California governors have been elected into office while living in core Silicon Valley or its northern neighbor.
