The Coastal Commission Wants to End Beach Driving at Centerville, and Humboldt Is Furious
Centerville Beach has been losing ground to the Pacific for decades. Now it might lose the trucks. The fight continues over vehicle access at Centerville Beach County Park, about five miles west of Ferndale in Humboldt County. The county wants to repair a low, shoulderless stretch of Centerville Road that high surf regularly buries in sand, raising roughly 900 feet of it up to 10 feet on fill and holding it in place with a rock revetment. The problem is that the project needs a Coastal Commission permit, and commission staff want the county to ban motorized vehicles from the beach as a condition of getting one.

Dan Shahin, an Arcata City Council Candidate Who Has Railed Against Data Centers, Has $10,000+ Stakes in Nvidia and Amazon
Late last year, Dan Shahin was at the dais, addressing the five members of the Arcata City Council. He’d just launched an election campaign to join them less than two weeks prior, but he wasn’t there to deliver a stump speech. He was angry that the local government hadn’t had any public deliberations on the data center on 11th Street, and it saddened him that it had replaced a lumber store with dozens of employees. It was, he said, “a strange, pernicious, dangerous, alien presence,” and as he spoke, his focus drifted to Nvidia, a manufacturer of graphic processing units used to power the AI boom and the first company to ever surpass a $5 trillion market capitalization. By that metric, it is the most valuable company on the planet.
