• Gavin Newsom is bringing in huge healthcare changes

  30-07-2019 23:31
  
  He would be incremental on healthcare, Gov. Gavin Newsom said back when he was just a lieutenant governor seeking the Democratic nomination for the office he now holds.
  When he didn’t say, perhaps couldn’t know, was how large the increments would be.
  At heart, Newsom would like California to have a single-payer healthcare system operating much like Medicare does for senior citizens and some others who qualify by dint of certain conditions and ailments. But he realized then and still

  By Prashant Gopal, Reade Pickert and Noah Buhayar, Bloomberg
  Low mortgage rates and thriving employment should be the recipe for a strong housing market. Instead, they’re deepening America’s affordability crisis.
  What began on the coasts, in areas like New York and San Francisco, is now radiating into the nation’s heartland, as well as to cities from Las Vegas to Charleston, South Carolina. Entry-level buyers are scrambling to purchase homes that are in short supply, sending va

• Alive with Spirit: We are pioneers of the future, creating our storyline day by day

  30-07-2019 21:36
  
  Each of us has a story woven from the threads of experience and heredity. We may never think of our lives as unique, or that we have a tale worth telling but we do. Willa Cather wrote a book, “O’ Pioneers,” which told of the unfolding of one person’s life on the developing edge of the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. The novel was about an ordinary life which captivated the attention of readers and became a classic.
  We are pioneers of a different sort.

  Don’t remind Chip Kelly about last year.
  Whether it was the good – an emphatic win over rival USC and a late-season surge of five 400-yard performances in the last six games – or the bad – just three total wins, the fewest in program history since 1989 – Kelly isn’t interested in the past.

• California requires presidential candidates — including Trump — to provide tax returns to be on primary ballot

  30-07-2019 20:21
  
  By KATHLEEN RONAYNE
  SACRAMENTO — California’s Democratic governor signed a law Tuesday requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns to appear on the state’s primary ballot, a move aimed squarely at Republican President Donald Trump.
  But even if the law withstands a likely legal challenge, Trump could avoid the requirements by choosing not to compete in California’s primary. With no credible GOP challenger at this point, he likely won’t need Califor

• Homeownership in Los Angeles, Orange counties 2nd worst in the U.S., falling to near a 3-year low

  This year’s reversal in mortgage rates — following last year’s sharp increases  —  apparently did not help house hunters in Los Angeles and Orange counties looking to switch from renter to owner.
  At the same time, rising ownership in the Inland Empire suggests bargains to the east — lower home prices on top of cheaper mortgages— may have been more appealing.
