San Diego could soon OK far more high-rise housing, ADUs (The San Diego Union-Tribune)

Proposal would soften rules that allow high-rise housing, bonus ADUs if developers build near transit. Incentives that allow more units based on location ...

City rules make properties eligible for transit bonuses if they are near a transit line scheduled to be built by 2035. “This expansion means more San Diego single-family neighborhoods will be targeted for overdevelopment.” The proposed rule changes would make another 5,224 acres close enough to transit to be eligible for developer density bonuses. The proposal was unanimously approved by the city’s Planning Commission in early December. Other cities handle such changes one at a time. That change would reduce how many properties qualify for transit bonuses by eliminating properties that are geographically close to transit, but that are separated from the transit line by a major road, a canyon or some other obstacle. The group opposes the changes but is praising a concession by the city within the proposal to start using walking distance, instead of distance as a crow flies, to determine how far a property is from transit. The changes to the transit rules, which would replace the name “transit priority area” with the name “sustainable development area,” are part of a large package of roughly 80 municipal code changes city planning officials are proposing. The proximity to transit is a factor because the number of extra units allowed is limited to one, unless the property is close to transit — within a half-mile radius under existing rules but within a one-mile walk under the new proposal. The piece of the proposal that encourages developers to build more lower-priced rental housing in prosperous neighborhoods would rely on the state’s definition of “high-opportunity” areas, which focuses primarily on the presence of high-paying jobs and educational institutions. The bonus program for backyard apartments, called “accessory dwelling units” by the city and often called “granny flats” by the public, allows property owners to build extra units if they agree to rent restrictions on at least one of them. Rules that allow taller apartment buildings and more backyard units when a property is near mass transit would be softened to require the transit line be within one mile — rather than the current standard of half a mile.

The coronavirus has resulted in falling revenues across the newsrooms of the United States. “Walmart had a big problem with their supply,” Mr. “During the first ten months of last year, Mexico exported $382 billion of goods to the United States, an increase of more than 20 percent over the same period in 2021, according to U.S. “They said, ‘OK, Mexico, save me.’” The story cites the example of Walmart, which needed $1 million worth of company uniforms – more than 50,000 in one order. In fact, STC is already doing work bi-nationally with the maquilas and will be poised to support near-shoring.” However, The Rio Grande Guardian International News Service is committed to producing quality news reporting on the issues that matter to border residents.

About $450 billion or two thirds of the goods produced in Mexico that enter the US come through Texas.” Gonzalez-Alcantar said: “As we head into 2023, the possibilities are endless for the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas College is ready to assist with near-shoring. Walmart needed $1 million of company uniforms — more than 50,000 in one order — it bought them not from its usual suppliers in China but from Preslow, a family-run apparel business in Mexico.

When someone turns 100, these volunteers are there to make sure ... (NPR)

For the past three decades, the Centenarians of Oklahoma volunteers have made it their mission to celebrate as many centenarians as they can.

"It was good," Romanello says of his celebration. "When we rolled him into the library and the whole family was there, he was so excited," Naylor says. Others are more philosophical, like "don't worry about what you can't change" or "look for good in everything." "The few of us that do this are blessed by being able to work with the 100-year-olds." "I believe they can hear us, because one particular man would squeeze the hand of his son standing there beside him when I would read certain things about him," says Scott. "And that's the reason for our existence." Had he not, he might have missed the USO dance where he met the love of his life. Scott might point out, for example, that more than 80% of the centenarians they've honored are women, or how the highest percentage of centenarians anywhere is in Japan. We've done it in bars and garages and outside and inside," Scott says. Their mission is simple: to honor anyone in the state who is 100 years of age or older. Since its founding in 1991, the group says it has honored more than 2,700 and counting. Two others are set to become supercentenarians in the next year — 110 years old.

The nuns and priests are unrealistically mean. Even if the priest is portrayed as a good guy, the cop will open up about his abuse by a different priest. It seems like a good thing that people are discouraged from looking down on other people based on anything but their decency and character.
