(OnScene.TV)At one point crews were concerned about the building collapsing. “We knew there were some homeless people living there because we’ve been here before … So, we’re always going to be thinking of search right away but we wouldn’t advance because of the type of building … because of the amount of fire, and it is not a safe building to go in,” said LAFD Capt.

Why the Warriors could trade down in the 2023 NBA Draft

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:40 GMT

Whether the Warriors stand pat with the No. 19 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft or trade it remains an open question. Whichever path they take, expect their guiding light to be acquiring players they think can play next to Steph Curry and keep open their title contention window.That window will be constricted under the new collective bargaining agreement, which takes effect July 1 and keeps the Warriors from signing players on the open market to anything more than a league-minimum deal. That accentuates the importance of the draft: For the Warriors, a good draft gives them back some team-building control.Rumors swirled that the Warriors might put former lottery pick Jonathan Kuminga on the trade block in order to move up in the draft order. Such a trade would be a bold move for new general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. in his first few days at the helm.If the Warriors don’t move up the board, perhaps they’ll see value in trading down. A move down would save them a little m...

Klein: What the hell happened to the California of the ’50s and ’60s?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:40 GMT

By the time I talked to Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, he was clearly frustrated. “This is ridiculous,” he said. “These guys write reports and they protest. But we need to build. You can’t be serious about climate and the environment without reforming permitting and procurement in this state.”It hurts to get hammered by your friends. And that’s what’s happening to Newsom. More than 100 environmental groups — including the Sierra Club of California and The Environmental Defense Center — are joining together to fight a package Newsom designed to make it easier to build infrastructure in California.For Newsom, it’s a wounding break. “I licked envelopes for these nonprofits as a kid. My father was on the board of the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund for more than a decade,” he told me. “This was my life. But this rigidity and ideological purity is really going to hurt progress. I did the climate bills last year, and these same groups were celebrating that. But that means nothin...

Opinion: Delta tunnel is too risky to bend environmental rules

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:40 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plans to ease environmental rules and bypass the legislative process to get statewide infrastructure projects fast-tracked would pave the way for California ratepayers to fund a multi-billion-dollar environmentally disastrous and divisive Delta tunnel.The Delta Counties Coalition (DCC), representing the five counties that comprise millions of residents who live in and around the California Delta, strongly oppose the administration’s inclusion of the Delta Conveyance Project (Delta tunnel) in its infrastructure package and hastily considering it in the opaque state budget process.Dating back to 2009, the Legislature and administration have consistently avoided legislative provisions that facilitate highly controversial and expensive isolated new conveyance in the Delta. This was done with purpose. Changing laws for the explicit benefit of this highly controversial project would pick “winners and losers” between those living within and near the Delta (the losers) a...

Happy Wanderer: San Francisco travel destinations going strong as ever

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:40 GMT

That downtown San Francisco has been struggling since the pandemic is no secret. To borrow a quote from Mark Twain, though, reports of San Francisco’s death may be “greatly exaggerated.” In fact, there are many neighborhoods that are thriving in the City by the Bay. Below are four of my favorites.North Beach: On a recent Saturday afternoon, soccer fans were spilling out of several local bars; sidewalk cafés were doing brisk business and beloved sites like Coit Tower were teaming with tourists. A vintage 1950s fire engine rumbled along the crowded streets, taking passengers on a San Francisco Fire Engine Tour (sanfranciscofireenginetours.com) of the district known as San Francisco’s version of “Little Italy.”Meanwhile, at the popular Italian eatery Convivium Enoteca, San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin was telling journalists how North Beach merchants acted quickly to open parklets during the pandemic, positioning the neighborhood for a quick post-COVID-19 comeb...
