Teslas, homeless clearly show
state’s income inequity

Teslas and the homeless are ubiquitous in the Bay Space. They share all the identical freeways but with one particular key variance. Teslas are zipping alongside at 70 mph whilst the homeless are likely nowhere.

Earnings inequity is a major problem in the Bay Region. The proof is apparent by the a lot of tarp-included encampments that line the highways and byways during the Bay Space.

The homeless population improved by about 15 percent statewide all through the COVID-19 pandemic. Tesla profits also improved.

Two teams are rising in the Bay Area nonetheless only just one is prospering.

Safeguard college kids
through heat waves

Re. “Another sizzler,” Site A1, Sept. 7:

This story infuriated me. How can that faculty make it possible for those little ones to keep on even while it achieved temperatures that high?

Little ones can get ill in distinctive methods with excessive warmth. Dehydration, warmth strokes and heat cramps can transpire which is a professional medical crisis. We stay in occasions the place engineering has progressed, and colleges can switch to an on the web structure so these youngsters can continue to be within a interesting temperature place and nonetheless get their training.

The temperatures attained 109 in the post, which is significantly from risk-free for youthful kids. Adults are additional very likely to tackle temperatures like this, but it isn’t easy, so sending little ones out for 8 hrs of faculty in this warmth is quite unsafe for them. It should really be improved to online the up coming time this arises. The protection of the little ones should really usually be a precedence.

Kumar flier disqualifies
him for Congress

For several years, Rep. Anna Eshoo has been my representative in Congress. I considerably respect her focused assistance and productive collaboration in just Congress concentrated on improving her constituents’ excellent of lifetime in quite a few techniques – in particular in an era when also lots of customers of Congress go after the pursuits of by themselves and the privileged several rather than the general public excellent.

So, I was appalled to get a mail flier from her congressional opponent, Rishi Kumar, professing that Eshoo has failed to supply for her constituents, and has promoted Medicare privatization, amid other false statements.

When the time will come for the torch to be passed to a successor, my hope is that new candidates will emerge with sturdy prospective to continue Eshoo’s custom of powerful collaboration based on a beneficial approach and personalized integrity. By his negative strategy to campaigning, Kumar has confident me that he is not these kinds of a applicant.

Impartial Mahan
ideal decide for SJ mayor

I’m a lifelong resident of San Jose and submitting this letter in support of Matt Mahan for Mayor.

Initial, as opposed to Cindy Chavez, Matt Mahan is not beholden to the unions or the 49ers or any special interest teams. Second, the Chavez campaign has falsely claimed that Matt supports the NRA and is anti-abortion. Neither of these two fake allegations is correct.

The actuality that the Chavez marketing campaign is spreading disinformation about Matt Mahan in order to have her elected the up coming mayor of San Jose, tells us all we want to know about Cindy Chavez. The finest choice for San Jose’s future mayor is Matt Mahan.

Vitality reliability
a joke with PG&E

Re. “Consultant: PG&E’s condition wildfire protection attempts falling short,” Website page A8, Oct. 13:

I’m appalled that the current short article about PG&E describes the “fast-trigger” circuit breakers as a achievements.

I have lived up right here for above 30 several years, and have hardly ever found these types of abysmal unreliability in our electric services, owing to their inept implementation of people triggers. Beforehand, we experienced decent continuity. Presently, we can depend on the ability dropping out at least 2 times a thirty day period, occasionally two times a 7 days, at random, with out warning (and it was worse right before community outcry compelled PG&E to back again off).

Provided that we under no circumstances experienced trouble with fires just before, I sincerely question that any of these “incidents” has really prevented any. Does PG&E have a shred of proof to the contrary? If so, we have not noticed it. For the reason that their biggest expertise is maintaining anyone in the dark.

A single wonders what their prepare is for making our electrical power trustworthy again or if they even have a single.

Make catalytic converter
security obligatory

Re. “California is a hotspot for catalytic converter theft. Will new rules make a variation?” Oct. 10:

I locate it definitely crazy that in 2021 we jumped to more than 50,000 catalytic converters stolen in the United States, particularly when in 2018 there had been just about 1,000 stolen. A person miracles what occurred, and how we can protect against this.
