0 Politics & Government A program to help mobile home park residents, with $33.5 million in the bank, got a huge revamp last year because nobody was using it. CalMatters , News Partner Posted Reply By Manuela Tobias, CalMatters CALIFORNIA — Mobile home residents in California face an outsize risk of failing utility systems, flooding and fires as a result of infrastructure that frequently hasn’t been updated or repaired in decades. In 1984, California passed a law to help remedy this: a loan program, paid into by the residents themselves, to buy and in later iterations, fix their parks. But that solution, for the last 10 years, has helped only one of California’s 4,500 mobile home parks. State administrators approved a single loan application, in 2021, from a fund now worth $33.5 million, the state’s Housing and Community Development Department confirmed to CalMatters. The loan went to a non-profit organization … [Read more...] about CA Program To Fix Mobile Home Parks Approved 1 Application In 10 Years

Bay City News , News Partner Posted Reply The drought might not be completely done with California, but the state's residents are now free of the strictest water conservation measures put in place by Gov. Gavin Newsom nearly two years ago. Standing at a podium in front of a storm-soaked agricultural field in Yolo County on Friday, Newsom stopped short of declaring the end of the punishing three-year drought but said that while he's not rescinding the statewide drought emergency order, he is eliminating many of its provisions. "To answer the question 'Are we out of the drought?' Mostly but not completely," Newsom said. In response, Newsom signed an executive order eliminating more than 50 of the 81 drought emergency provisions that he enacted in April 2021, … [Read more...] about Newsom Rolls Back Water Restrictions, Does Not Declare End To Drought

Correction Appended A fire that began on Monday and ripped through a warehouse in east London has destroyed millions of dollars worth of work by leading contemporary British artists, dozens of them from the vast collection of Charles Saatchi, the warehouse's owner and Mr. Saatchi said on Wednesday. Among the works that have been lost are pieces by Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Chris Ofili, Tracey Emin, Rachel Whiteread and Jake and Dinos Chapman, all part of the influential and showy Young British Artist movement championed and sustained by Mr. Saatchi for the last 15 or so years. Well-known works destroyed in the fire, which raged for two days and leveled the warehouse, included Ms. Emin's ''Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963-1995,'' a tent on which she had stitched the names of dozens of past lovers; and the Chapman brothers' ''Hell,'' a series of nine miniature landscapes depicting the horrors of war that took them two years to make and that, according to some reports, cost … [Read more...] about London Warehouse Fire Destroys Artworks

To hear more audio stories from publishers like The New York Times, download Audm for iPhone or Android . They found him in the living room, crumpled up on the mottled carpet. The police did. Sniffing a fetid odor, a neighbor had called 911. The apartment was in north-central Queens, in an unassertive building on 79th Street in Jackson Heights. The apartment belonged to a George Bell. He lived alone. Thus the presumption was that the corpse also belonged to George Bell. It was a plausible supposition, but it remained just that, for the puffy body on the floor was decomposed and unrecognizable. Clearly the man had not died on July 12, the Saturday last year when he was discovered, nor the day before nor the day before that. He had lain there for a while, nothing to announce his departure to the world, while the hyperkinetic city around him hurried on with its business. Neighbors had last seen him six days earlier, a Sunday. On Thursday, there was a break in his routine. The … [Read more...] about The Lonely Death of George Bell
