Most 'California Forever' land zoned for agriculture, county says (KRON) -- A planned idyllic community on the banks of the Sacramento River and bankrolled by Silicon Valley billionaires will have to clear a major hurdle with voters to be developed, according to Sonoma County officials. The corporation, Flannery & Associates, has purchased over 50,000 acres of land surrounding Travis Air Force Base over the past few years.Last week, the company went public with its plans by launching the "California Forever" website featuring vaguely Mediterranean renderings for a proposed new community that have been called "cartoonish." But according to the county, building a new community on the land could be a nonstarter without voter approval.Rendering: California ForeverThe land in question is currently zoned for agriculture, the county said in a news release Wednesday.

(KSWB) -- San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas is endorsing congresswoman Barbara Lee to represent California in the U.S. Senate.The Lee campaign announced the endorsement in a press release on Wednesday, Aug. 30.“As a healthcare and education champion I am thrilled to support Congresswoman Barbara Lee for U.S. Senate,” Vargas stated. “She is exactly the type of advocate Californians need in the U.S. Senate. Her track record of always tackling the tough issues while lifting people up and making sure everyone’s voice is heard is what we need from our next senator.

Such is the punishment for being unhoused in America.In late August, Brooks and his attorneys filed a claim against numerous government agencies seeking $50 million in monetary damages for “extreme suffering” caused by the shooting. According to the claim, Forest Service officers, in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management, shot Brooks “needlessly and recklessly” on May 19: through his arm and back shoulder, in his armpit and the bottom of his spine, through the middle of his back, and several times in his legs. The officers opened f...

Burning Man is ending, but the cleanup from heavy flooding is far from over RENO, Nev. (AP) — The rain has passed, and the temple has burned. Now, as Burning Man slowly empties, it’s time to clean up.Burning Man organizers have three weeks to clean up the sprawling stretch of public land in the Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada, but a summer storm that left tens of thousands stranded in ankle-deep mud could alter that timeframe. The annual gathering, which launched on a San Francisco beach in 1986, attracts nearly 80,000 artists, musicians and activists for a week-long mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances. One of the principles of Burning Man is to leave no trace — an expectation that all attendees will pack out everything they brought to Black Rock City and clean out their camps before leaving. But in the aftermath of torrential rains that closed roads, jamming traffic, and forcing many to walk miles barefoot through the muck, the area is dotted with abandoned vehicles, rugs, furniture, tents and trash. The ground itself has deep i...
