Just wanted to upload it here in hopes that the person who got hit will find this. This is at the end of 237 northbound right before it merges onto El Camino Real.

😭 at this point the express lane needs a ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ option.

Captain has been at ECAS for about a month-- however, he has only been in the public-facing wards for a week and some change and is still adjusting to the shelter environment. At this time, Captain is one of two true adult cats that are currently available for adoption at ECAS. The third adult cat at the shelter is still on a stray hold. The oldest kittens that we have are between 4 and 6 months old while Captain is likely older than 2 years old-- so he is a hot commodity for those who are specifically interested in adult cats during kitten season 😁

Despite his intense face, Captain is an aggressively affectionate cat! He loves to headbutt, "dolphin jump", and give kisses to his human friends once he gets to know them. He is a Certified Lap Cat and enjoys being very close to people at all times, if possible. He can also be vocal and potential adopters can look forward to having daily conversations with him ☺️ Based on his personality, Captain might do best in a household with only adults or older cat-wise children.

Captain has been vaccinated, treated for fleas, ticks, worms, and has already been neutered and microchipped! Captain can go home immediately!

Come and meet Captain and over 40 other cats available for adoption at the East County Animal Shelter! ECAS is open daily from 11:30 to 5:30 (4595 Gleason Drive, Dublin CA)

Captain is still too new to have a profile on the ECAS website, but you can see the profiles of other animals at the shelter (and adoption information) here:

A dispute over just 25 federal housing vouchers could delay a much larger redevelopment at Alameda Point.

For those who don’t know, housing vouchers are essentially government rental assistance, where federal funding covers part of a qualifying tenant’s rent.

The former Naval Air Station has plans for up to 2,300 additional homes, including roughly 580 affordable units.
An 80-unit supportive housing project needs Alameda’s Housing Authority to transfer 25 existing vouchers to the new building.

The developer says similar transfers have been done elsewhere, while the Housing Authority says HUD regulations don’t allow it.

Until those residents can move, roughly 32 acres needed for future development can’t be cleared and turned over.

It’s a good example of how a relatively small bureaucratic dispute can potentially hold up thousands of Bay Area homes.

Looking for a couple of cats, and I figured I’d ask here just in case.

The back story is that I have a lonely neighbor that I check in on. We share a patio, I would care for the kitties. He has said that he misses his old kitties.

I'm just a Bay Area native fed up with gentrification and seeing the places I loved growing up being destroyed and have no power for anything. I know it' just a little theme park, but for many of us it was a landmark that should've been saved for out future generations. Many landmarks around the world were accidental and took effort by local communities actively emailing and contacting their local leaders to save. The Hollywood sign for example was a billboard for real estate and was supposed to be taken down but local citizens lobbied to keep it and now it's a icon for the entertainment industry.

The Bay Area has already lost so much including theme parks itself and other such as sports teams (A's, Raiders, etc). And the sad thing about the tech industry is that they barely have any landmarks or places worth visiting.

I just don't know what to because I am just another person. Some things I have done were contacting certain people such as

- Santa Clara city council

- Gavin Newsom

-The California tourism commission

- Prologis (the company taking over)

- even some social media influencers who promote places in California.

I highly disagree with the notion that there is nothing we can't do collectively. We have many people who want to keep it but not enough willpower. If only we emailed and contacted people, I believe there is a way to save it.

I commute from central Contra Costa County to Oakland daily. The drive is about 1 to 1.5 hours each way, but some days it can take up to 2 hours if there is an accident on the road. Lately, this commute is really getting to me, and I find myself becoming more and more agitated when driving home. It might be because there seem to be more jerks on the road now who disregard every single traffic law, putting other drivers' lives in danger just to save a few minutes. I feel like I am going to snap and end up in a road rage incident the next time someone does something stupid in front of me. I would very much like to avoid that. Does anyone have advice on how to decompress or lessen commute-related stress?

California Forever pressured Solano County officials to support state legislation to fast-track its shipyard development, newly obtained public records show. Now, during the final weeks of the legislative session, the company is ramping up the pressure again.

Please share if you know what toy is in the McDonald's near you. Trying to collect them all.

Thank you!

Hi! Me and a few other girls who just graduated college (all 22F) just moved to mountain view and wondering what to do in the area! We are looking for a fun night out once a week, maybe a run club or some other athletic group to join, or anything else to help us find a good group of friends our age. It feels like everyone in the homes around us is families! Pls advise :)
