Closures, explosionguarantee fuel crunch

Re: “Large fire erupts at Chevron refinery in Southern California” (Oct. 3).

Right here comes fuel shortages and hovering costs. Seventeen % of California’s refinery capability is scheduled to shut by mid-2026. Final week’s explosion in El Segundo simply knocked out our largest refinery. The state’s try to nudge folks into electrical automobiles has stalled. Because of the California Air Sources Board, California can’t import gasoline from different states. With all this, I’ll wager that $7 a gallon fuel is in our future. It is going to be a regressive tax on Californians who can least afford it.

California’s public transport is affordable solely in a few metro areas; folks commute large distances over clogged roads. These days, drivers vent their rage on one another, however with $7-a-gallon fuel, I’ll wager there’s a very good likelihood that they’ll focus their fury on politicians and directors in Sacramento.

The legislators and bureaucrats might wish to give you some options earlier than the howling mobs arrive.

Prop. 13 reform couldsolve cities’ shortfalls

Re: “Leaders may seek tax hike approval” (Web page A1, Oct. 1).

Oakland is dealing with a critical funding drawback and is popping to a brand new tax improve to unravel finances points. The brand new metropolis finances would require a rise in parcel taxes.

The basis of our underfunding drawback is the truth that companies aren’t paying their share in property taxes, forcing householders to take the burden. It’s now extra vital than ever to reform Proposition 13 to assist public faculties and public companies.

Is inexpensive housingpart of condo gross sales?

Re: “Deal for apartments reflects weak market” (Web page B3, Oct. 3).

I admire the articles by George Avalos on condo buildings which are being bought for lower than their appraised worth previously. I’d love for The Instances to do some tales on the main points of why these buildings are being bought and why new house owners are buying them.

I’ve witnessed new house owners shopping for condo buildings to enhance the models whereas elevating rents. Current tenants with out leases might be provided leases with rents increased than their present rents; these with leases might be provided new leases with a lot increased month-to-month rents. Is that this the motivation for the brand new consumers of those properties that Avalos is telling us about?

May these new consumers, as a substitute, enhance the properties and make rents inexpensive on the similar time? Would that not assist the supply of inexpensive housing?

Individuals of consciencemust stand for Oak Flat

Would you stand by whereas Notre Dame was blown up? Yosemite? An injustice of this magnitude is imminent. As religion leaders, we name consideration to the San Carlos Apache folks’s efforts to save lots of Oak Flat in Arizona. This holy website of ceremony, non secular observe and sustenance for Apache and different nations is scheduled for demolition by Decision Copper by means of authorization granting entry to federally protected forest lands outdoors common protocols.

Why ought to we in California care? As a result of we should defend non secular liberties and pluralism. Oak Flat is sacred for all who acknowledge sacred locations. Turning this holy land right into a pit mine denies the San Carlos Apache the flexibility to train their non secular rights, violating the First Modification and the Non secular Freedom Restoration Act.

Individuals of conscience: contact your representatives. Allow them to know that non secular freedom issues.

Don’t act like a fascist,you received’t be known as one

I noticed Stephen Miller on the “Sean Hannity Show” the opposite day. He was ranting in regards to the current rash of deadly shootings in America. He defined that the shooters all use the identical language, specifically “Kill the fascists.” He stated the “left” is in charge as a result of they consistently name conservatives fascists. Individuals on the perimeter hear it and act on it.

Okay, let’s work this out. In the event you comply with cease punishing free speach, cease snatching folks off the road utilizing masked brokers in unmarked automobiles, cease blackmailing regulation corporations, universities and media corporations, cease firing authorities staff with out trigger, cease utilizing the Justice Division to punish your adversaries, cease occupying American cities with the navy, cease utilizing bellicose rhetoric about seizing the Panama canal and Greenland, and so on.

In the event you comply with that, I’ll cease calling you fascists.
