The San Mateo City Council will look to clarify/tighten pot regulations in their City today (Monday)...Don't worry Michelle, they aren't getting strict on neti pot...
We have known for a long time that Half Moon Bay's finances are in deep shit. Aside from the horrible economy, they owe a developer $18 million as part of a legal settlement. That combination means that they could cut 1/3 of their workforce...ouch. Can Jerry Hill and Leland Yee save the City with State Legislation?
If that wasn't bad news enough for Half Moon Bay, the Coastside Family Medical Center shut is doors Friday suddenly and permanently. The facility was the only one of its kind coastside near Half Moon Bay...
It isn't just adults that feel the pain of the economic downturn (or Half Moon Bay employees), teens feel increased stress too...as if being a teenager wasn't stressful enough.
You could sort of see this coming if you read this and this...but the community-wide, Palo Alto broadband project may be quickly dying. Palo Alto has no money and the company that was going to do the project, Axia Netmedia Corporation, doesn't really want any part of it anymore either...
The "Seats of Power" are on display in Brisbane...literally...
The so-called Transportation Solutions Defense and Education Fund is proving itself to be the exact opposite of its name...again. Watch Dog Silicon Valley wrote about a lawsuit so-called TransDef brought earlier this year trying to halt BART to Warm Springs in Fremont. So, they must be for some other type of transit...right? Wrong, they also filed suit against a Caltrain line that would run over the Dumbarton Bridge to alleviate some of the East/West traffic there...but TransDef doesn't like that either. Here is an idea for TransDef, why don't you come up with some projects you think are worthwhile and that you won't get all lawsuit-happy about...
You'll remember last-week's perfectly timed study by Stanford showing that its hospital expansion projects would bring in $18 million to the City of Palo Alto coffers. The timing was perfect because Stanford and Palo Alto had a meeting about the impacts/benefits of Stanford's development this week. Now, Palo Alto would like to see more of the "community benefits" that Stanford could/should/will do in order to get Palo Alto to stand back from its adversarial position...
Raise your hand if this story sounds familiar: five juveniles escaped from the juvenile detention facility in La Honda on Friday. If that sounds familiar, it is because here was a similar (the same) story last year: In both instances, the kids were found.
The Citizens of Woodside (COW) blog is sometimes an interesting read. The March 12th offering goes into great detail about the interviews to seat folks on the Architectural and Site Review Board. Now that's inside Woodside baseball...
San Carlos kids don't want artificial turf on their playing fields...their future knees thank them, but future orthopedic surgeons don't...
The Redwood City downtown development saga continues. A Judge ruled for Joe and Roberta Carcione that the City's Environmental Impact Report was not complete and needs to be redone, which halted further action by the City. Now, Redwood City faces two unpleasant (and expensive) choices: appeal the Judge's decision or redo the EIR...each come with a pricetag and a risk that the project will be delayed or changed beyond recognition...
Sue Lempert goes into great detail about a recent East Coast trip in today's Daily Journal. Cold weather, trains, planes, cold weather, art galleries, taxis, and cold weather...that sounds like the East Coast.
Do you know what a "shoulder tap" operation is? Neither did Watch Dog until we read this story. You should read this story, however...because this weekend's "shoulder tap" operation netted 170 arrests in Northern California...
