It’s hard to find a reasonably priced house in California, especially in big metropolitan cities like Los Angeles or San Francisco, due to expensive home prices.For those flexible on location, a new study from Go Banking Rates revealed where prospective home buyers could get a home for less than $200,000 in various cities nationwide.

San Jose could get stricter about graffiti, weeds and garbage in downtown

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:13:13 GMT

Facing a colossal backlog of complaints in the thousands from residents about graffiti, unkept lawns and trash, San Jose is set to adopt a pilot program that would result in fines to scofflaws and give more power to code enforcement officers to reduce the blight that is making downtown an eye-sore.Under the city’s current rules, residents are responsible for submitting their own complaints about the blight surrounding buildings and homes. The pilot program — slated to start in August — would instead give that power to code enforcement officers, who would be on the search for downtown businesses and residences that aren’t maintaining their properties.Combined with an increase in department staffing, Mayor Matt Mahan believes the strategy will make a major difference in cleaning up a part of the city that draws a large share of resident concerns about blight.“We know that when we’re just reliant on complaints, we don’t necessarily know what is going on out there and ...

‘They killed my daughter’: Mother of 8-year-old girl who died in Border Patrol custody says pleas for hospital care were denied

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:13:13 GMT

By Valerie Gonzalez | Associated PressMcALLEN, Texas — The mother of an 8-year-old girl who died in Border Patrol custody said Friday that agents repeatedly ignored pleas to hospitalize her medically fragile daughter as she felt pain in her bones, struggled to breathe and was unable to walk.Agents said her daughter’s diagnosis of influenza did not require hospital care, Mabel Alvarez Benedicks said in an emotional phone interview. They knew the girl had a history of heart problems and sickle cell anemia.“They killed my daughter, because she was nearly a day and a half without being able to breathe,” the mother said. “She cried and begged for her life and they ignored her. They didn’t do anything for her.”The girl died Wednesday on what her mother said was the family’s ninth day in Border Patrol custody. People are to be held no more than 72 hours under agency policy, a rule that is violated during unusually busy times.The account is almost certain to raise questions about whet...
