B-Man Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 AND THIS TIME IT WILL WORK: California Passes Rent-Control Law Amid Homelessness Crisis. California will cap rent increases under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would sign Tuesday, the most significant piece of housing-related legislation in a year that also saw the shelving of a measure to relax zoning and spur more construction. Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, said he would sign the bill into law at a ceremony in Oakland, Calif. The governor has said the rent caps and tenant protections are necessary to help people being squeezed out of their homes. The law limits annual rent increases at 5%, plus the rate of inflation, and adds some barriers for landlords seeking to evict people. “They will provide California with important new tools to combat our state’s broader housing and affordability crisis,” Mr. Newsom said when the rent measure passed the legislature Sept. 11. The Housing Gnomes’ three-step plan works like this: 1. Make construction more costly, and also cap prices. 2. ??? 3. Housing for everyone! . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 NEARLY 800,000 PG&E CUSTOMERS BRACE FOR LARGEST POWER SHUT-OFF EVER. Nearly 800,000 Pacific Gas and Electric customers are preparing for their power to be intentionally cut for what could be the largest deliberate power shut-off in California’s history. A Red Flag Warning is being issued over the next few days with strong winds expected to make the risk of wildfire extremely high. The outages are expected to start as early as Wednesday at midnight and could last until mid-day on Thursday. They may affect millions of people living in 34 counties. I’m so old, I can remember when California was an aspirational place, and not a warning to the rest of America.

Fleets of these! Stay safe KD! I've already heard talk of some looting occurring in Castro Valley and the power there hasn't even been off for 12 hours yet, so the hooligans are starting to take advantage of things already. I'm sitting in an office building right now where we are all wondering if the lights will be going out at noon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids were hoping for a day off from school but no luck in our 'hood. And I just heard one of my team members explain to another why it was fairly unlikely we'd have a red-flag power shut off here on Market Street.
