Two men have been arrested in connection with an October 2021 shooting that led to the death of 18-year-old Jesus Sanchez, officials with the Ontario Police Department announced on Tuesday.  Sanchez was leaving a crowded Halloween party on Oct. 23, 2021, in the 700 block of East Bonnie Brae Court in Ontario when gunfire erupted.

They increase the system for the riders who will never come back.Daniel Borenstein correctly identified much of BART’s mismanagement.But why don’t people want to ride? Many no longer need to, due to the ability to work from home. Others simply can’t afford it. I always wondered how airport workers could afford the steep cost to commute to their jobs. The price is too high, relative to comparable systems, such as the Paris Metro or the Tokyo Subway, both of which are cleaner, more reliable and safer. And then there’s the crime issue. Creeps and crooks are rife in the system.We need to downsize the system and stop investing in pretty stations. Get t...

Twitter’s lawyers refute Musk claims about ‘Twitter Files’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:36:39 GMT

By Brian Fung | CNNFor months, Twitter owner Elon Musk and his allies have amplified baseless claims that the US government illegally coerced Twitter into censoring a 2020 New York Post article about Hunter Biden. The foundation for those claims rests on the so-called “Twitter Files,” a series of reports by a set of handpicked journalists who, at Musk’s discretion, were given selective access to historical company archives.Now, though, Twitter’s own lawyers are disputing those claims in a case involving former President Donald Trump — forcefully rejecting any suggestion that the Twitter Files show what Musk and many Republicans assert they contain.In a court filing last week, Twitter’s attorneys contested one of the most central allegations to emerge from the Twitter Files: that regular communications between the FBI and Twitter ahead of the 2020 election amounted to government coercion to censor content or, worse, that Twitter had become an actual arm of the US government.In tweets...

Largest-ever RV safe parking site approved by San Jose city council for $18.9m

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:36:39 GMT

San Jose’s Berryessa neighborhood will be the site of a massive RV parking lot after city councilmembers approved an $18.9 million lease on Tuesday for the project as part of a strategy to offer faster, interim options to combat the homelessness crisis.The site — which will host up to 85 vehicles — will be the largest of its kind in the city and is located along Coyote Creek at 1300 Berryessa Road, allowing RV dwellers to legally park with no maximum stay in an area mostly surrounded by industrial buildings.In a unanimous vote, councilmembers approved a 10-year lease for the 6.3-acre parcel — and the city expects that all expenses for the site, including services, will amount to over $24 million over a five-year period. The project — about a mile from the nearby Berryessa BART station — currently doesn’t have an opening date.The city will lease the Berryessa site from Terreno Realty, which bought it in 2021 for $23 million.
