Mary, 98, Paid Her Rent on Time for 50 Years. Then the Building's Owners Moved to Evict Her: "I Am Too Old to Pack Up and Leave"

Mary Phillips was 98 and still answering her own door. That is how KRON 4 reporter Dan Kerman found her in July 2014, in the Dolores Street apartment in San Francisco where she had lived for 50 years. She told him she had been very happy there, had “always paid my rent,” and had never been late. None of that stopped what came next. KRON reported that the building’s owners had evicted her using the Ellis Act, a California law that lets property owners take rental units off the market. Phillips told the station she had nowhere else to go. She said she did not break down when the notice came. She simply refused to believe it. With her attorneys, she decided to fight. “I am too old to pack up and leave,” she told KRON. Then she added, with a laugh, that she would just “kick the bucket right here.” Her story came out the same day several dozen protesters rallied outside the offices of the investment firm that owned the building, calling for an end to rising evictions in the city. The demonstrators claimed the firm bought buildings, cleared tenants through the Ellis Act and then resold them

One man built this California observatory, then asked to be buried beneath its biggest lens

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.

Beloved Classics, Rebuilt: Inside Vallejo’s Kindred Motorworks

The building sat empty for thirty years. Now, on Vallejo’s Mare Island, it holds some of the most carefully reengineered classic cars in California. Kindred Motorworks takes the Ford Bronco, the Volkswagen Bus and the Porsche 911, three of the most beloved shapes in automotive history, and rebuilds them as modern machines. Most are fully electric, and every one keeps the silhouette that made it famous. The work happens inside a former naval shipyard of more than 100,000 square feet, where metalwork, bodywork, paint, upholstery, engineering and final assembly share a single roof. A Bronco starts at $225,000, with the Bus and the 911 priced higher.

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.
