California’s Fear of High-Rise Living Is Blocking Our View of the Future

By Stephen Frank on Nov 14, 2017 08:56 pm
If I wanted to live in Manhattan or San Fran, that is where I would live.  I like one and two story homes, apartment buildings under ten floors.  I do not like the density of New York, which is why I live in California.  Joe Mathews apparently loves the tall buildings—maybe he should consider living […]

Taking Aim at Blight, San Jose City Council Considers Creation of Empty Storefront Registry

By Stephen Frank on Nov 14, 2017 08:51 pm
Why is it so expensive to run a business in California?  Just look at San Jose.  If you have a storefront that is empty, the city wants you to report it.  Why?  No reason.  The city is not going to get a renter for you.  Realtors will still be doing their job.  But this is […]

Walters: California’s school war flares up on three fronts

By Stephen Frank on Nov 14, 2017 08:48 pm
California government schools are crumbling.  LAUSD gave diploma’s in June to 45% of the students with a “D” average—functional illiterate.  We spend about the most in the nation and get the worst results. “The establishment backs the Local Control Funding Formula, Gov. Jerry Brown’s approach, which pumps extra money into districts with large numbers of […]

Calaveras May Not Be Able to Pay for a Marijuana Ban

By Stephen Frank on Nov 14, 2017 08:45 pm
Calaveras does not want to allow legalized marijuana in the County.  It does not want medical marijuana.  But, it does not have the money to enforce the rules it is setting.  Thanks to CalPRS, this is another County in trouble and forced to do what it doesn’t want to do. “As Calaveras County supervisors mull […]

Five states ask judge to halt Trump’s rollback of birth-control mandate

By Stephen Frank on Nov 14, 2017 08:39 pm
The State of California, along with a few others, are suing President Trump.  Why?  Because he wants to take away the mandate that employers MUS provide birth control protection and coverage.  That means the Catholic Church must do that for the Nuns.  That means if no woman wants the coverage—it still must be provided.  I […]

By Stephen Frank on Nov 14, 2017 08:36 pm

An all-online community college: A solution to working class needs, or a dangerous move?

By Stephen Frank on Nov 14, 2017 08:34 pm
Choice in education is not what so-called professional educators are about.  They allow bullying, violence on campus.  In the classroom only one side is heard and speakers from the outside better be Sanders supporters or they are not allowed on campus—with the professors calling them racist, bigots and homophobes—or whatever else comes to mind—truth means […]
