The 12 Best Suburbs Near Sacramento, California For An Affordable Retirement

Rob Casares bought a four-unit complex in South Los Angeles about 15 years ago. It was an investment and a way to provide housing in his community. Over the past three years, squatters broke into three of his units at different times. By the time the last one was removed — a process that took nearly a year — Casares told Spectrum News that the combined damage and lost rent had cost him six figures.

In California Senate District 4 election, Duarte has lead over Brandon in early returns

Editor’s note: Election result numbers in the story will continue to be updated. The numbers in the graphic below are the most up-to-date. Republican Alexandra Duarte held an early lead over Democrat Jaron Brandon on Tuesday night in California’s closely watched Senate District 4 race, as both candidates expressed optimism about their chances and emphasized the rising cost of living as a major concern for voters. Early, unofficial election results showed Duarte leading with 123,606 votes, or 52.2%, compared with 113,160 votes, or 47.8%, for Brandon, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office. Additional ballots remained to be counted, and the outcome had not been determined. Duarte, a Modesto-area farmer and the wife of former Republican congressman John Duarte, spoke with The Bee at a Republican election watch party at Ten Pin Fun Center in Turlock. “We’re watching the ballots come in,” Duarte said. “We’re cautiously optimistic about this.” Brandon, a Tuolumne County supervisor, spoke at a Democratic election-night gathering at the North Valley Labor Federation in downtown Modesto, where he described the experience of awaiting election returns as a roller coaster. “I feel really good about the results that we’re seeing,” Brandon said. “But, you know, also we

Sacramento Mayor McCarty to outline priorities in annual State of the City address

Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty will outline his priorities for the city’s future during his second State of the City address Thursday morning at the Crocker Art Museum. The event could offer a preview of major city initiatives and priorities for the coming year. Unlike traditional State of the City addresses, the event will feature a question-and-answer session with a yet-to-be-announced interviewer. Potential topics include homelessness, economic development and a projected $40 million city budget deficit. Facing a $66.2 million budget shortfall in 2026, the city avoided widespread layoffs by eliminating vacant positions, raising fees and cutting homelessness spending. Many of the cuts produced ongoing savings, but the city must increase revenue or make additional cuts to balance future budgets. Addressing homelessness was a central promise of McCarty’s 2024 mayoral campaign. McCarty touts “significant process” in sheltering homeless people, pointing to the opening of 500 new beds in his first 15 months as mayor and a 19% reduction of people living unsheltered within city limits between 2024 and 2026. His signature initiative has focused on expanding shelter capacity for unhoused residents. In the spring, the city opened a 96-bed safe camping site in the River District , but the mayor’s primary

As of 8:01 p.m., Robles had 65% of votes tallied, compared with 35% for Parks, according to unofficial Sacramento County election results . The initial results reflected ballots mailed before Election Day, with more votes left to be counted. Robles, 33, was first elected in 2022 and previously served on the city’s Planning Commission. A member of the California Army National Guard, he emphasized housing affordability, support for small businesses and programs helping first-time homebuyers. Parks, 58, a community volunteer, emphasized homelessness, traffic safety and improving city infrastructure. She also wanted to expand safety education about electric bicycles and hold regular office hours to hear from residents.
