San Francisco Boomers Are Moving To This Lovely Outdoorsy City Just Under An Hour From Lake Tahoe

When Bay Area baby boomers — that's anyone born between 1946 and 1964 — decide it's finally time to move away from the misty air of San Francisco, there's one spot that seems to be drawing the eye more than others. It lies over the great Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east, on the bends of the Truckee River in Washoe County, on the far northwest edge of the state of Nevada. Its name? Reno.

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

Petaluma Has Hit Just 34% of Its 1,910-Home State Housing Target

Petaluma has issued building permits for 652 of the 1,910 homes in its state housing allocation—about 34% of the target. That tally measures permits, not finished homes. The distinction matters as the city weighs new apartment projects, zoning changes, and its newly adopted General Plan against rising land, construction, and permitting costs that can slow construction.

UC system buys Ritz-Carlton hotel in Half Moon Bay for $193 million

The University of California system bought the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Half Moon Bay for $193 million last month, according to San Mateo County records. The property was purchased by an affiliate company based at the Oakland headquarters of the University of California Office of the President, as first reported by local news outlet Coastside News. The university did not disclose its plans for the oceanfront luxury resort. A UC spokesperson said the Board of Regents has delegated investment authority to the university’s chief investment officer within set asset classes and risk limits. The board, the spokesperson said, does not approve individual real estate transactions. “UC Investments operates with fiduciary independence in managing the university’s investment assets,” the spokesperson said. “UC investment decisions are not directed by the UC Board of Regents or the UC Office of the President.” UC Investments, led by chief investment officer Jagdeep Singh Bachher, manages the university system’s investment funds. At present, the portfolio of investments totals approximately $236 billion. This includes retirement, endowment and cash assets. As of June 2025, about 5.5% of the university’s assets were invested in real estate. About a year ago, UC Investments bought the 331-room Residence Inn Berkeley for $175.8
