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.

- 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: 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.

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.

- 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.

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.
