San Jose: The Bay Area’s first Burger Pit opened in 1953. The last one is closing Tuesday

mercurynews.com/2024/04/19/san-jose-the-first-burger-pit-opened-in-1953-the-last-one-is-closing-tuesday/

Quick Glance: San Jose: The End of Iconic Burger Pit After 71 Years

Paul Berger, the aptly named owner, closed the last Burger Pit location in San Jose after a surge of customers present until the closure on April 23, 2024.

The Burger Pit chain, originally founded in the 1950s by Albert Berger, will come to an end with the closing of the last location in the South Bay area.

Owner Berger, who upheld his father's philosophy of good food at reasonable prices, will close the business after 71 years and take the popular chili recipe to the grave.

Despite the nostalgic feel and popular dishes of Burger Pit, customers will primarily miss the conviviality as they bid farewell to long-time staff and the historic location.

Peninsula gas station charges $7.09 per gallon for regular: A gas station on the Peninsula is giving drivers some extreme sticker shock.

Quick Glance: Menlo Park Gas Station Charges $7.09 Per Gallon for Regular

A gas station on the Peninsula is causing extreme price shocks for drivers. The Chevron station in Menlo Park is charging $7.09 per gallon for regular, $7.45 for plus, and $7.69 for supreme. This is at least a dollar higher than neighboring stations and well above the California average of $5.42.

According to AAA, gas stations set their own prices, and it depends on when they purchase their gas. If they buy their gas wholesale when oil prices are high, they need to sell it at that price to make a profit.

AAA Northern California spokesperson John Treanor mentioned that gas prices have been elevated recently due to increased demand in spring, higher costs of the summer blend, and rising crude oil prices influenced by Middle East turmoil.

AAA states that gas prices are expected to stabilize at this point.

Quick Glance: Tesla Layoffs Impact Bay Area with Over 2,750 Jobs Lost

Tesla mass layoffs hit Bay Area's Fremont and Palo Alto facilities, resulting in over 2,750 job cuts. The job cuts are part of a broader 10% workforce reduction at Tesla, affecting various locations.

The layoffs are set to commence on June 14, impacting employees across multiple sites in Fremont and Palo Alto. In addition, significant job losses will occur in Lathrop, Burbank, and Austin, totaling thousands of affected workers.

Tesla's decision to eliminate a large portion of its workforce stems from the need to reduce costs amidst industry challenges. CEO Elon Musk emphasized the necessity of these layoffs despite their impact on employees and communities.

The company's restructuring plan reflects a shift in focus and operational strategies to address market dynamics, including declining stock value and competitive pressures in the electric vehicle sector. Tesla's future direction aims to navigate these challenges while maintaining its position in the industry.

Quick Glance: San Jose Implements New Measures to Combat Crime

Mayor Matt Mahan assisted in installing a new automatic license plate reader camera at the corner of King Road and Wilshire Boulevard to monitor the neighborhood.

The use of ALPR technology in the city has aided in the arrest of around 200 suspects and recovery of stolen vehicles worth $2 million in the past.

Funding for the city's network of Flock cameras came from a mix of the city's general fund, allocations from last year's budget, and a grant for combating organized retail theft.

Despite the increasing popularity of ALPR technology among Bay Area city officials, privacy advocates remain concerned about storing data for a year in San Jose, heightening the risk of information exposure in a data breach.

Quick Glance: A South Bay Couple's Journey to Find Their First Home Amid Expecting a Baby

Nishant Singh and Apeqsha Dudani decided to purchase a $1.5 million home in the Bay Area upon learning they are expecting a daughter in July. Despite high interest rates and fierce market competition, their budget ranged between $1.3 and $1.5 million.

Prioritizing a single-family home with at least three bedrooms and space for parental visits in a good school district, they opted for a $1,339,000 house in South San Jose after considering various options in San Jose and Fremont.

Although initially aiming not to spend more than $1.5 million, an offer of $1.625 million allowed them to secure the house. Despite the higher price, they achieved a $1,200 monthly savings on the mortgage and look forward to preparing their new home for their daughter.

Two weeks after moving in, they are still adjusting to homeownership and plan to prepare the house for their daughter. Despite initial concerns about distance from friends, they are excited to host events and gatherings, including a baby shower in June.

Buyers grab downtown San Jose condos in foreclosure auction with winning bids up to $32,300

mercurynews.com/2024/04/09/san-jose-real-estate-house-home-foreclose-auction-condo-economy-china/

Quick Glance: Buyers Secure San Jose Downtown Condos at Foreclosure Auction with Bids up to $32,300

Potential buyers gathered for an auction to acquire ten condominiums in a residential building in downtown San Jose constructed by a developer facing challenges, despite legal processes aiming to postpone the foreclosure and sale.

Following the delinquency of Z&L Properties in paying the HOA maintenance fees for the ten condominiums, the association for the dual-tower complex organized the auction.

Despite the issuance of a temporary restraining order by Santa Clara County Superior Court Helen Williams on April 2, the auction activities continued outside the courthouse, leading to an unexpected and thrilling sequence of events.

Z&L Properties has a 90-day window to reclaim ownership of the recently sold units if the outstanding fees, fines, and interests for each condominium are settled. Nevertheless, the purchasers of the nine units paid a remarkable fraction of the expected price for residential properties in a high-rise building in the Bay Area.

Quick Glance: Majority of Seattle-area Renters Report Significant Rent Increases in Past 12 Months

While rents in the Seattle area and nationally surged in the early pandemic years, the rental market seems to have calmed since 2023, providing some relief to local tenants.

However, recent survey data from the US Census Bureau suggests that the majority of renters in the Seattle area may not agree with these reports.

Out of the estimated 658,000 individuals who experienced rent hikes, approximately 113,000 had a relatively minor increase of under $100. A significantly larger group - around 306,000 - saw their rent rise between $100 and $249 per month.

Established in 2020 as a response to the pandemic, the initiative aimed to inform authorities and policymakers about the pandemic's effects on communities nationwide and offer data to support recovery post-pandemic.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Oakland International Airport is considering adding 'San Francisco' to its name to attract more passengers, but faces opposition from neighbors across the Bay.

The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.

Officially known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, the airport lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024, raising concerns about geographical confusion among travelers.

The potential name-change has alarmed San Francisco officials, who fear it would cause confusion among travelers and infringe on the city's trademark rights.

Quick Glance: Popular Brewery Closes: Is Downtown's Momentum at Risk?

Shortly after celebrating its sixth anniversary, Camino Brewing Company in San Jose unexpectedly shut its doors due to inflation, slow pandemic recovery, and a failed funding plan.

While Camino's closure is regrettable, it should not signal downtown's downfall. New openings and cultural additions have revitalized the area, yet concerns loom over other venues facing challenges.

Office return rates lingering at 40% explain the mainly nighttime activities. Popular establishments like the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles are struggling, highlighting the need for community support.

The opening of Elyse and potential closures of other downtown gems emphasize the importance of patronizing and backing local businesses to preserve the cultural tapestry of the city.

The residences in the proposed affordable housing complex would be distributed among eight buildings, with one building featuring retail space on the ground level.

Quick Glance: Audit: Lack of Transparency in Tracking Homelessness Spending in San Jose

A recently released state audit revealed that over the past three years, San Jose has not consistently reported on the expenditure of over $300 million to combat homelessness. This raises doubts about whether the money is actually contributing to alleviating the crisis.

The report also found that San Jose lacks clear goals for its homelessness programs and does not have a cohesive plan for building the necessary affordable housing for the estimated 6,340 homeless residents.

Auditors presented a series of recommendations for San Jose to implement by September, including public reporting on homelessness spending, developing a response plan with specific goals, and monitoring the performance of nonprofit service providers.

Despite some disputes over the findings, the city has already started implementing many of the audit's recommendations. Mayor Matt Mahan emphasized the importance of setting goals, measuring results, and being accountable for outcomes.
