Shelter stays in San Francisco could soon be limited to 90 days again as the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing considers ending a policy of unlimited stays that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. The department shared in October a draft of the new policy that proposed reimplementing a cap on shelter stays in an effort to move people through the pipeline out of shelter and into housing.

Former Larkspur Sewer Plant Site Eyed for Housing Redevelopment

The Ross Valley Sanitary District has pursued housing redevelopment for its long-vacant former wastewater treatment plant site in Larkspur, a 10.7-acre parcel. The property at 2000 Larkspur Landing Circle is the subject of a housing proposal, according to the Marin Independent Journal. The district will retain some land around one of its pump stations even as the rest of the site changes hands. The property, which formerly housed a sewer plant, sits near a Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit station and the Golden Gate ferry terminal in Larkspur, giving the future residential project direct access to regional transit.

Twenty miles east of San Jose, a road winds up Mount Hamilton to a cluster of white domes that have watched the sky since 1888. Lick Observatory sits at 4,209 feet, high enough to leave the valley haze behind and clear enough to spot stars that city lights drown out below.
