Homeless camps become issue for neighbors
Redwood City residents share concerns about inability to clear out Caltrans property

Brandon Wong said homeless
camps have been an issue since he
moved to Bair Island in August
with his wife and 1-year-old son.
The camps at times have encom-
passed 10 tents and 20 to 30 peo-
ple along with shopping carts,
piles of trash and impromptu bike
“chop shops.” Fires have broke
out at some Redwood City camps
over the years. Wong and his
neighbors have also observed drug
the city’s predominant industry.
Comfortable that allowing more
bees would not encourage a sudden
outcropping of urban farming,
officials took turns poking fun at
the unique opportunity to reduce
the restrictions imposed on resi-
dents.
“It is about time we decriminal-
ize beekeeping in this city,” joked
Vice Mayor Donna Colson,

Redwood City preps budget report
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After a routine audit, Redwood City’s com-
prehensive budget report is out with the
final, definitive wrap-up of fiscal year
2017-2018, which ended in June of this
year.
General fund revenue totaled $141.1 mil-
lion — a 10.4 percent increase from the pre-
vious fiscal year and $2.7 million more
than the final adjusted budget. Revenue was
higher than budgeted because property
taxes, licenses and permits, plan check fees
and recreation program fees all brought in
more money than expected, according to a
staff report.
Property taxes, which account for 41 per-
cent of general fund revenue, exceeded
expectations by $586,000. Property tax
revenue is up by $5.8 million since the pre-
vious fiscal year primarily due to growth in
Fatal crash claims
one near San Bruno
At least one person died and multiple
lanes are blocked after a multiple-vehicle
collision in San Bruno on northbound
Highway 101 by the San Francisco
International Airport early Sunday morn-
ing, according to the California Highway
Patrol.
The CHP said the collision was first
reported around 3:30 a.m., Sunday, Dec.
23, on the northbound freeway at North
Access Road. There are no other confirmed
injuries, the CHP said.
No further information is immediately
available.

assessed value, which is expected to contin-
ue to grow in the next fiscal year because of
strong real estate sales, property improve-
ments and development, according to the
report.
Sales tax revenue accounts for 16 percent
of general fund revenue and it increased by
$900,000 since the previous fiscal year
largely because of an increase in hotel tax
revenue.
Expenditures were less than budgeted
because of savings in almost all city pro-
grams. General fund expenditures totaled
$125.9 million, which is $4.6 million or
3.5 percent less than the final adjusted
budget. The police department had the
largest amount of savings — $2.2 million
or 2.5 percent — mostly because of vacan-
cies.
Expenditures were up 12.2 percent or
$13.7 million compared to the previous fis-
cal year largely because of an $8.8 million

of a possible explosion in a cramped tun-
nel underneath a space occupied by Gate
Gourmet, which prepares an estimated 70
percent of meals served to passngers on
outbound flights, said Russell Mackey, the
airport’s duty manager.
The men, Mackey said, were working on
plumbing underneath the airport’s “649
building.”
Though it appears the two men were
overcome by fumes from the gasoline-
powered concrete cutting machine they
brought with them, the call initially came
in as a tank rupture of some sort, prompt-
ing a sizeable response by emergency
workers, Mackey said. One of the men
apparently was overcome by the exhaust
fumes, and passed out. The other man
dragged his co-worker to a seemingly safer
contribution to the Section 115 Pension
Trust account in January 2018. The city also
spent more money fiscal year 2017-2018
on building regulation and fire operations
as well as three parks and recreation pro-
grams.
There is an unassigned fund balance of
$25 million as of June 30 — a decrease of
$4.4 million since June 30, 2017 —  and
$21.4 million of that is the general fund
reserve amount, leaving a remaining oper-
ating fund balance of $3.6 million. The
City Council Reserve Policy mandates a
reserve balance of 15 percent of estimated
general fund revenue.
Employee costs are the city’s single high-
est cost and represent 72.8 percent of all
general fund expenses not including the
aforementioned $8.8 million contribution.

mid point.

passed out, Mackey said.
When searchers descended into the
cramped tunnel, that other man — who was
still disoriented, Mackey said — had
crawled away from where his co-worker had
left him. The tunnel network, Mackey said,
is fairly extensive.
“It took about 2 1/2 hours before the fire
department found the other man, crawling
toward them,” Mackey said. That second
man was taken to a nearby hospital for
examination.
As for the fairly significant emergency
response, Mackey said, “We didn’t really
know what kind of incident we were
responding to.”

Fans of redwood grove race to preserve it
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EUREKA — Fans of a popular grove of
redwood trees in far Northern California are
racing to fund a project that would help pro-
tect the area from hordes of visitors.
Park officials and nature lovers are trying
to raise $500,000 for a dollar-for-dollar
matching grant to help pay for an elevated
walkway to the Grove of Titans in Del Norte
County, according to a report by the Times-
Standard of Eureka. The deadline is Dec. 31.
The grove was largely a secret until the
quest to find it became a popular adventure
shortly after a 1998 research project
inspired a book that contained clues about
its location.
Photos of the grove posted online with
GPS coordinates around 2011 opened the
floodgates to visitors, said Brett Silver, act-
ing sector superintendent with the
California Department of Parks and
Recreation.
“For a long time, the park’s policy was to
not tell people where the trees were,” he
said. “But we found that people kept going
out and searching for them.”
The grove now sees up to 13,000 cars a
month. Because there are no formal trails to
the grove, visitors have trampled the forest

outcome than what we asked for,” said resi-
dent Bob Silverstein, who was member of
the group which had encouraged officials to
consider the change.
Nickie Irvine, a member of the
Beekeepers’ Guild of San Mateo County, said
the decision will bring Burlingame in line
with a majority of other local municipalities
by allowing bees.
Under the decision, the guild will also
offer education, consultation and informal
dispute resolution assistance in instances
when beekeeping serves as a source of con-
tention between neighbors.
Such instances are relatively rare, accord-
ing to a city report, which suggested that
only once in the last five years did buzz over
bees develop into a serious issue among res-
idents. On that occasion, the guild was able
to intervene and help improve the relation-
ship. The Peninsula Conflict Resolution
Center is another resource available for
mediation.

ardizing the health of the redwood trees and
the surrounding forest.
Before the grove saw such high visita-
tion, it had prehistoric qualities, with ferns
up to 6 feet high that are now no more than
patches of dirt, Silver said.
“You’d almost expect to see a dinosaur
pop up around the corner,” he said. “Now it
looks like a freeway system from LA.”
The plan for an elevated walkway would
allow for visitation of the grove while pro-
tecting the root systems of the redwoods, he
said.
The walkway and other improvements are
estimated to cost around $3. 5 million.
Restrooms, trash bins and other visitor
services also are planned, as well as restora-
tion to areas damaged by visitors.

Beyond the opportunity to remove an
antiquated restriction — approved as a suite
of other ordinances decades ago limiting
animal keeping in Burlingame — officials
noted more bees could combat the ongoing
loss of pollinators.
More broadly, the resolution adopted rec-
ognizes bees are not a neighborhood nui-
sance.
“Honey bees are non-aggressive, disperse
and travel widely from their home hives and
do not threaten the health or well-being of
people other than those with identified bee
allergies, who must take appropriate precau-
tions when outside regardless of location,”
according to the resolution.
Considering the variety of benefits offered
by the decision considered to have limited
downside, Mayor Michael Brownrigg sug-
gested the decision was one made on a foun-
dation of common sense.
“This is not a terribly controversial deci-
sion,” he said.
For her part, Colson suggested she was
comfortable with the decision as well.
“I look forward to having more success
with bees in this city,” said Colson, who
rotated into the mayor position later in the
meeting. Councilwoman Emily Beach
became vice mayor.

After criticism, Trump pushes out Mattis sooner than planned
By Lolita Baldor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Irritated with the criti-
cism and fallout from Defense Secretary Jim
Mattis’ resignation, President Donald
Trump on Sunday pushed the Pentagon chief
out the door two months earlier than
planned, an acrimonious end to a tense rela-
tionship that had been eroding in recent
months.
In a series of tweets, Trump appeared to
question why he had put Mattis in his
Cabinet in the first place and said Deputy
Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan will
take over as acting secretary on Jan. 1 to
cover the accelerated departure.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, not the
president, notified Mattis of the decision,
said a senior administration official who
insisted on anonymity to discuss personnel
issues.
The sudden change strips Mattis of any
chance to further frame national security
policy or smooth rattled relations with
allies through the originally planned transi-
tion at the end of February. And it reflects

WASHINGTON — Brett McGurk, the U.S.

over President Donald Trump’s abrupt deci-

administration exodus of experienced

Trump’s decision as a “shock.”
Only 11 days ago, McGurk had said it

and therefore would be unwise to bring

decision was the result of an accumulation of
disagreements.
In a stunning resignation letter, Mattis
made clear he did not see eye to eye with a
president who has expressed disdain for
NATO and doubts about keeping troops in
Asia. Mattis was also unhappy with Trump’s
order to develop plans to pull out up to half
of the 14,000 U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Earlier Sunday, Trump’s acting chief of
staff said that Trump had known for “quite
some time now” that he and Mattis “did not
share some of the same philosophies ...
have the same world view.”
Mick Mulvaney told ABC’s “This Week”
that the president and his defense chief “just
could never get on the same page” on Syria,
adding that Trump had said since his presi-
dential campaign that “he wanted to get out
of Syria.” Mulvaney said the president “is
entitled to have a secretary of defense who
is committed to that same end.”
Asked whether Trump wanted a Pentagon
leader willing to challenge him or someone
in lock step with his views, Mulvaney said
“a little bit of both.”
Trump played down the development,
tweeting Saturday night that “I do not
know” the envoy and it’s a “nothing event.”
He noted McGurk planned to leave soon
anyway and added: “Grandstander?”
Shortly after news of McGurk’s resigna-
tion broke, Trump again defended his deci-
sion to pull all of the roughly 2,000 U.S.
forces from Syria in the coming weeks.
“We were originally going to be there for
three months, and that was seven years ago
- we never left,” Trump tweeted. “When I

ISIS is largely defeated and other local coun-

Connected vehicles accelerate Shutdown’s varied impact on parks, tourists
down data-collection highway By Michael Sisak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — That holiday trip over the river and
through the woods to grandmother’s house could turn into
nice little gift for automakers as they increasingly collect
oodles and oodles of data about the driver.
Automakers are collecting valuable pieces of informa-
tion thanks to the internet connections, cameras and sen-
sors built into most vehicles in recent years. The online
access makes it possible for cars to be unlocked remotely if
the keys are lost. It’s how safety features can be upgraded
wirelessly and maintenance schedules adjusted based on
performance.
But these digital peepholes are also offering a wind-
shield-size view of people’s lives. That’s creating the
potential for intrusive marketing pitches and government
surveillance.
No serious incidents have occurred in the United States,
Europe and Japan, but a red flag has already been raised in
China, where automakers have been sharing location
details of connected cars with the government.
“We are not that far away from when 100 percent of all
new cars will come equipped with data modems,” Navigant
Research analyst Sam Abuelsamid predicted. “Having the
potential to collect more data about people in their cars
means there is going to be potential for abuses, too.”
Here are some key questions about the auto industry’s
acceleration down the data-collection highway:
What kind of cars collect data?
In 2016, about one in every five cars sold globally could
be plugged into the internet, according to BI Intelligence.
By 2020, about three out of every four cars sold will be
online.
So if you are driving a 2009 Toyota Corolla, you proba-
bly only have to worry about the tracking and data collec-
tion being done by the smartphone resting on the cup
holder. But as those older models go to the scrapyard, it
will become difficult to avoid a vehicle set up for gathering
data that will be sent to automakers.
Which automakers are
leading the way in this trend?
A: General Motors accounted for 46 percent of connect-
ed-car shipments last year, according to the market
research firm Counterpoint. They’re followed by BMW,
Audi and Mercedes Benz.
NEW YORK — The huddled masses are still able to visit

London airport open, but

drone culprit still up in air
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — London’s Gatwick Airport was operating with-

out problems Sunday, but the fugitive drone operators who
brought incoming and outgoing flights to a standstill over
multiple days remained at large — and a potential threat —
after police cleared two local residents who were arrested as
suspects.
Sussex Police were hopeful they had halted the disruptive
and costly drone incursions during one of the heaviest travel
periods of the year with Friday’s arrests of a couple who live
near the airport. But they were released Sunday, and police said
they were no longer suspects.

Rather than buying, try upcycling
By Kiki Lo
The United States recenly broke a
national record. According to Adobe
Analytics, consumers spent $6.22
billion on Black Friday this year, a
24 percent increase from the $5.03
billion spent last year. Retailers made
huge profits, and consumers satiated
their fervent desires to consume — a
seemingly win-win situation — until
you consider what went on behind the
scenes to produce the millions of
items that Americans snatched from
shelves last week.
Let’s consider the steps it took for a
cotton T-shirt to arrive at your local
mall last Friday. First, the cotton
grown to make this T-shirt required
0.40 ounces of pesticides and 713
gallons of water. Then, most of the
chemical dyes used to color this T-
shirt escaped wastewater-treatment
processes, polluting bodies of water
where aquatic organisms live. Because
60 percent of the world’s clothing is
manufactured in developing countries,
ships, trucks and planes released large
amounts of carbon dioxide in order to
deliver this T-shirt to a store near
you.
And that’s just for one T-shirt. If
you can imagine how large these
numbers are for all of the items sold
on Black Friday, it might be easier for
you to understand why the fashion
industry is the world’s second largest
polluter, only behind oil.
As consumers who ultimately drive
clothing sales, we have the power to
reduce the apparel industry’s adverse
environmental impact.
Upcycling, or taking old items and
turning them into a new product of
superior use and quality, would reduce
the amount of waste, energy and pol-
lution associated with the fashion
industry. Upcycling is not a new con-
cept. During the Great Depression,
families turned empty tin cans into
drinking cups. Today, people turn old
stair posts into desks and mason jars

into flower vases.
In the fashion
industry, upcycling
involves taking
old clothing items
and turning them
into unique, more
fashionable gar-
ments. For exam-
ple, a few old T-
shirts could be cut and sewn into a
summer dress, utilizing pre-existing
items that alone were of little value.
Even something as simple as repur-
posing zippers and buttons saves
energy that would have been expended
to create these small, yet necessary
parts of clothing.
Research found that Americans
throw away 70 pounds of clothing per
year, and 85 percent of this clothing
waste ends up in landfills. If people
tap into the clothes collecting dust in
their closets rather than buy new
items, the number of textiles pollut-
ing landfills would decrease. Because
the production of upcycled items does
not require new materials, water and
energy usage, pesticide and chemical
dye contamination, and carbon emis-
sions would all be reduced.
At the corporate level, integrating
upcycling into business models poses
a challenge to traditional fashion
design thinking. Tasha Lewis, assis-
tant professor in Cornell University’s
Department of Fiber Science and
Apparel Design in the College of
Human Ecology, addresses this chal-
lenge through her research that looks
to reduce textile waste with a business
model solution that redesigns and
upcycles used clothing. Lewis
believes that upcycling requires a cre-
ative and technical skillset that sets
out to maintain style and minimize
waste.
Some businesses have already rec-
ognized the value of upcycling and
fully implement it into their clothing
lines. Reformation, a hip Los
Angeles-based fashion company, uses
rently closed because of defects and
design flaws. Now, the MTC along
with another unelected regional
bureaucracy, the Association of Bay
Area Governments want to create a
third unelected regional monster
which will have the ability to tax
you. This new brainchild will be
called the Committee to House the
Bay Area (CASA). That’s right, with-
out any input from you, these folks
are trying to take power away from
you and your local elected city offi-
cials in order to dictate what must be
built in your city.

New school rating tool
better, yet still flawed
The Los Angeles Times
A
fter years of work and some ludicrous missteps,
California’s annual report card on schools is final-
ly up and measuring educational performance. It’s
improved from its early iterations, and there’s a fair
amount to like about it. But the new system is still lack-
ing in many areas; the state shouldn’t consider its work
schools look like they’re doing a lot better than they are.
That’s not helpful to parents or the public. There are few
things parents are more interested in than the quality of
the schools to which they entrust their children; providing
that information is a key responsibility of the state
Department of Education. The general public has a stake in
this too, given the investment taxpayers are making in
public education.
The new California School Dashboard replaces the old
Academic Performance Index, which provided simple
numerical scores for each school, based almost solely on
results from the state’s annual proficiency tests. The API
was abandoned a few years ago for a legitimate reason:
Judging a school’s entire performance on two tests, each
given once a year, was a blinkered way to measure educa-
tional efforts. Besides, it didn’t reveal much.
In contrast, the dashboard provides information about
many more aspects of education — including graduation
rates, suspension rates, parent engagement and the like.
And for parents willing and able to throw themselves at
the reports, there’s a mountain of information contained
therein. The question is how many parents will do the
work. If they rely on the simple color charts instead of
looking closely at the information, they might get a mis-
leading idea of how their children’s schools are doing.
Early versions of the dashboard were a lesson in confu-
sion. The state started with a grid of color-coded squares that
were almost indecipherable. Those gave way to a lineup of
pie charts with colored pieces that were just about as bad.
series of colored graphics that look like fuel gauges. They
make a lot more sense and give, at a glance, a sense of
where that school stands on the various measures: red at
the “empty” end where performance is low, up through the
gas. Parents can then link to more in-depth versions of
each measurement. The reports are easy to find online at
caschooldashboard.org.
Serious problems remain, though, especially in the met-
rics that make schools look better than they should. If
that was the state’s goal here, it’s doing the public a real
disservice. One example: Schools can have low test scores
and still come out looking great on “college and career
readiness.”
A big part of the problem is that there is no reasonable
or objective measure of what good performance consists
of. Schools are measured against each other, not against a
standard of excellence, and they get extra credit for
improvement.
So, for example, the Los Angeles High School of the
Arts has low test scores in both English and math. Its
graduation rate is also down in the below-average orange
zone. Only 42 percent of its students graduate ready for
college or a career. Yet it receives a nice, above-average
green rating on the fuel gauge because the statewide aver-
age also is only 42 percent, and it got extra credit for
improving significantly over last year. Most parents
wouldn’t view 42 percent as a good graduation rate, espe-
cially considering that it doesn’t take into account all the
dropouts who certainly aren’t college- or career-ready.
Graduation rates and suspension rates are measured the
same way on the colored gauge — how they come out
against other schools, not whether they’re objectively
doing well. The numbers are there, for parents who dig
below the surface, but they shouldn’t have to go that deep
to get an accurate reading.
To get a stellar score on “parent engagement,” it’s enough
for schools to do an annual survey of their parents and
report the results. The parents might have very negative
things to say in the surveys. They might say that no one
talks to them and that they feel unwelcome. But as long as
the school reports the survey results, it’s in good stead.
The same kind of thinking applies to whether schools
have enough qualified teachers. Schools need report only
on how many teachers aren’t certified for the jobs they’re
doing. It doesn’t matter how many are “mis-assigned.” In
other words, these scores are about compliance with filling
out forms, not about meeting the needs of students and
families.
The dashboard itself earns a middling yellow rating on
the fuel gauge, mainly for depth of information and con-
tinuous improvement. But the state should recognize that
it has a long way to go for the dashboard to reach stellar
blue.

Profiting off presidency? Trump

business takes hit after election
By Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — When workers pried the
Trump name off another Manhattan building
earlier this year, it capped a bad few weeks
for the president’s businesses.
Donald Trump’s golf resorts in Scotland
had just posted millions of dollars in loss-
es, one of his hotels in Panama had rebrand-
ed itself a Marriott, and New York officials
announced they were looking into how he
avoided paying tens of millions in taxes.
All that, along with the daily drumbeat of
Trump tweets and headlines about investiga-
tions into his administration, led Austin,
Texas, tech executive Gary Barrett to finally
give up hope of ever turning a profit on an
apartment he bought as an investment in a
Trump tower in Las Vegas.
“People with enough cash to buy these
units seem to be shying away from the
Trump name,” says Barrett, calling it “the
Trump effect.”
From golf fees and licensing deals to
prices for Trump condos, many metrics used
to gauge his business in the first two years
of his presidency are down as the divisive
comments and policies so beloved by his
political base have turned off a group just as
dear to him — the affluent who fuel his busi-
nesses.
“He can be very polarizing. ... The brand
has been diminished,” says Jeff Lotman,
CEO of licensing firm Global Icons. New
York brand consultant Robert Passikoff puts
it more bluntly: “The Trump brand has lost
its mojo.”
Though it’s difficult to know just how
badly Trump’s privately held businesses are
hurting, Associated Press interviews with
President Donald Trump arrives for a signing ceremony for H.R. 2, the Agriculture Improvement
Act of 2018 in Washington.
two dozen club members, condo buyers and
real estate experts suggest the impact has
been broad and sustained, with the same
political divisions among voters playing
out on the links and in clubhouses and
condo board meetings.
The Trump Organization did not respond
to repeated requests for comment but has
said in the past its core operations are
strong.
From the beginning, though, there were
signs that mixing politics and business
were backfiring. It started when Trump
announced his candidacy in 2015, calling
some Mexican immigrants crossing the
REUTERS
border illegally “rapists,” and then snow-
balled the next year following the “Access
Hollywood” tape of him boasting about
grabbing women by the genitals.
Macy’s and Univision severed ties with
his brand, mattress maker Serta stopped
licensing his name, NASCAR and the PGA
booked events that used to be held at his
Doral resort in Miami elsewhere, and the TV
network that aired his “Apprentice” — NBC
— ended its relationship with him.
Then Trump blamed “both sides” at the
neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia,
in the summer of 2017, and more than a
dozen charities and other organizations can-
celed galas and other parties at his Mar-a-
Lago club in Florida. A hotel in the Soho
section of Manhattan that had a licensing
agreement to use his name took it off its
building, following a decision by one in
Toronto to do the same.
The revolt has extended to new Trump
hotel ventures aimed at those who can’t
afford $450 or more to stay at his big-city
hotels. Early last year, the Trump
Organization announced the rollout of two
chains — one mid-priced, the other budget
— and said it had signed letters of intent for
possible deals with more than 20 develop-
ers.
Today, only one deal, in Mississippi, has
been announced. Hotel experts say poten-
tial partners don’t want to deal with the con-
troversy the Trump name brings.
“In today’s politically charged environ-
ment, everyone is cautious, ” says Lee
Hunter, CEO of consultancy Hunter Hotel
Advisors in Atlanta. “You want as many
guests staying with you as possible.”
Trump’s condos in New York have taken a
hit, too.
An AP analysis of sales data from broker-
age CityRealty shows prices per square foot
have fallen in nine of the 11 Trump-branded
buildings in Manhattan in the first 10
months this year after dropping last year,
too. Since Trump has taken office, prices
have fallen 9 percent on average and are
now down to levels not seen in five years.
In that time, Manhattan condos overall
have risen 29 percent.
CityRealty consultant Zach Gutierrez
says Trump buildings are suffering partly
because they look dated next to all the new
luxury buildings that have gone up in recent
years.

Firm wins passenger OK Huawei faces setbacks in

for self-driving state cars Europe’s telecom market
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Self-driving car
startup Zoox won permission Friday to start
offering rides to passengers in California.
The Public Utilities Commission granted
Zoox the first permit to ferry riders in
autonomous vehicles under a pilot program.
But Zoox can’t charge for the service and a
backup driver must be in the car.
Under the program, Zoox will submit
information to the commission on the num-
ber of passenger miles traveled in the test
cars and any incidents that occur, along
with pollution and safety data.
There was no immediate word on when
Silicon Valley-based Zoox would start its
service, which would likely be confined to
the San Francisco Bay Area. Messages to
Bert Kaufman, the company’s head of cor-
porate and regulatory affairs, were not
immediately returned.
It’s a milestone in the race to make
autonomous vehicles safe and comfortable
enough to be trusted by lawmakers and the
public at large. Besides the enormous tech-
nical challenges, companies must fight the
backlash that can follow test car crashes,
such as one last year in Tempe, Arizona,
where an Uber autonomous vehicle struck
and killed a pedestrian.
Zoox last week released its first safety
report, which calls safety foundational to
the firm, which is working on both hard-
ware and software for self-driving vehicles.
More than 60 companies have California
permits to test autonomous vehicles. But
so far they can only carry employees and
researchers.
In October, Google’s self-driving car
spinoff, Waymo, became the first firm to
receive permission to test autonomous
vehicles in California without a backup
driver. Waymo, which has been working on
self-driving vehicles for a decade, also has
requested the Public Utilities
Commission’s permission to start a pas-
senger service.
Earlier this month, Waymo began offer-
ing a small paid ride-hailing service in
Arizona, where regulations are looser.
However, those cars have backup drivers.
The service, dubbed Waymo One, is con-
fined to a roughly 100-square-mile area in
and around Phoenix.

LONDON — The U.S. dispute with China
over a ban on tech giant Huawei is spilling
over to Europe, the company’s biggest for-
eign market, where some countries are also
starting to shun its network systems over
data security concerns.
Some European governments and telecom
companies are following the U.S.’s lead in
questioning whether using Huawei for vital
infrastructure for mobile networks could leave
them exposed to snooping by the Chinese
government.
Bans in Europe could significantly increase
the financial pressures on Huawei. They
would also cost Europe tens of billions of dol-
lars as the region looks to build up “5G” net-
works, which are meant to support a vast
expansion in internet-connected things,
from self-driving cars to factory robots and
remote surgery.
“Europe is still divided over Huawei, but the
trendline is moving in a fairly clear direction”
as the U.S. exerts pressure on allies to block
it, said Thorsten Benner, director of the
Berlin-based Global Public Policy Institute
think tank.
Geopolitical tensions over Huawei intensi-
fied after its chief financial officer, who is
also the daughter of founder Ren Zhengfei,
was arrested Dec. 1 in Canada in connection
with U.S. accusations that the company vio-
lated restrictions on sales of American tech-
nology to Iran.
Huawei has been blocked in the U.S. since
2012, when a House Intelligence Committee
report found it was a security risk and recom-
mended that the government and private com-
panies stop buying its network equipment.
Germany’s Deutsche Telekom said last week
it “takes the global discussion about the secu-
rity of network elements from Chinese manu-
facturers very seriously.” The company said it
uses multiple companies to build its network,
including Ericsson, Nokia and Cisco.
“Nevertheless, we are currently reevaluat-
ing our procurement strategy,” the company
said.
The statement is significant because until
recently it had been one of Huawei’s “biggest
cheerleaders” based on its cheap and reliable
equipment, said Benner.
It came shortly after Alex Younger, the
director of Britain’s Secret Intelligence
Service, or MI6, said in a speech that Britain
needs “to decide the extent to which we are
going to be comfortable with Chinese owner-
ship of these technologies,” according to
local media reports.
At about the same time, mobile provider
British Telecom said it was removing Huawei
equipment from key parts of its current 3G and
4G networks as part of an internal policy.

OAKLAND — On a night the Los
Angeles Clippers set records with their
3-point shooting, Steph Curry won the
game for Golden State at the rim.
Curry made a layup with 0.5 seconds
left and the Warriors outlasted the
Clippers 129-127 in an emotionally
charged game Sunday night.
Curry had 42 points to tie his second-
highest scoring output of the season.
He also got the last laugh after he

exchanged heated words with Clippers
guard Patrick Beverley in the first quar-
ter, a sequence that earned both players
a technical foul.
The Clippers’ Avery Bradley tied it at
127 with a dunk with 20.6 seconds
remaining. On the next possession,
Curry had Montrezl Harrell on him at
the top of the key, drove down the mid-
dle of the lane and converted the layup
off the glass for the winner.
Tobias Harris missed a shot as time
expired, giving the Warriors their
eighth victory in 10 games.
Kevin Durant added 35 points for
Golden State to help offset the
Clippers’ 78-percent (18 of 23) 3-point
shooting.
“That’s just who they are,” Warriors
coach Steve Kerr said about Curry and

OAKLAND — Derek Carr knows what outsiders
think about the run-down Oakland Coliseum with the
infield dirt for early season games, substandard lock-
er rooms, and a lack of all the amenities prevalent in
newer and more expensive NFL stadiums.
For Carr and the Raiders, there’s a different word
that comes to mind.
“I just laugh, because it’s home to me,” Carr said.
“It may not be perfect and to everyone’s standards or
anything like that, but it’s home. This is where I was
drafted. This is where I have some of my favorite
memories. Even when I got hurt, that’s still a moment
for me that I’ll never forget, just the love that the fans
would show, and driving on the outside of the stadium
to find the X-ray machine because there’s no way
straight up to the locker room, driving through the
fans. Those are things that I’ll never forget.”
The Coliseum might be hosting its final NFL game
on Monday night when Oakland (3-11) hosts the
Denver Broncos (6-8).
The Raiders are set to move to Las Vegas in 2020,
where they will play in a new $1.8 billion, 65,000-
seat stadium that will make the Coliseum look like a
relic.
The franchise is still looking for a home in 2019.

and then the defense made one more
stop to clinch at least the third seed
in the NFC playoffs. The Bears (11-
4) can earn a first-round bye with a
win in the season finale and a loss
by the Rams.
“We’ve been in this situation so
many times and have come up big.
It’s almost expected of us,” corner-
back Prince Amukamara said. “Like
when we had to go back on the field
to help win it for our team.
Everyone was poised and no one
was shaking. We expected great
things to come out of it and we’re
glad we stood up for our team.”
The game turned feisty in the
fourth quarter, when San Francisco
safety Marcell Harris hit Trubisky
Trubisky’s teammates took excep-
tion to what they considered a
“dirty” hit and a scuffle ensued with
punches being thrown and San
Francisco cornerback Richard
Sherman and Chicago receivers
Joshua Bellamy and Anthony
Miller all getting ejected.
“As a leader, you can’t let them
get your teammate like that, regard-
less of the circumstances, regard-
less of what’s going down,”
Sherman said. “I felt like they went
over the top, and I responded over
the top.”

converted a fourth-and-1 sneak by
Trubisky from their own 35 with

One by one they came forward, more

Vulnerable but resolute, buoyed by the
hope of catharsis and the promise of jus-

Standing in a Michigan courtroom last
January, women and girls sexually
abused by Larry Nassar confronted the
former Michigan State University and
USA Gymnastics doctor, and over seven
draining days detailed the devastating
effect the molestation had on their lives.
The (hash)MeToo movement reached
the sports world in 2018 with a scandal
that reverberated not just in locker rooms
and gyms but in courthouses, in board-

women being not just heard but believed

for female athletes in the fight for fair
treatment — created a sense of real
momentum in sports over the past year.
Female athletes “are taking control,
and that’s what it’s all about,” tennis

Eagles, behind Foles, stay alive in NFC playoff race

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Jake Elliott
kicked a 35-yard field goal as time
expired and the Philadelphia
Eagles beat the Houston Texans
32-30 Sunday to keep their playoff
hopes alive.
The defending Super Bowl cham-
pion Eagles (8-7) need a win at
Washington (7-8) next week and
for Minnesota (8-6-1) to lose or tie
or Seattle (8-6) to lose twice or
lose once and tie to get a wild-card
berth.
The Texans (10-5) missed an
opportunity to clinch the AFC
South and also allowed New
England (10-5) to take control of
the No. 2 seed in the conference.
The Texans would secure the divi-
sion title with a victory against
Jacksonville next week. They’d
get a first-round bye with a win and
if the Patriots lose or tie.
Filling in for the injured Carson
Wentz for the second straight
week, Nick Foles again played like
the Super Bowl MVP who led
Philadelphia to a victory over New
England. Foles threw for a fran-
chise-record 471 yards and four
touchdowns.
Deshaun Watson had two TD
passes and ran for two scores.
Watson threw a 35-yard touch-
down pass to Vyncint Smith with
2:04 remaining as Houston rallied
from a 13-point deficit.
But Foles brought Philadelphia
back into position for the win.
Foles was injured on a late hit by
Jadeveon Clowney while complet-
ing a 19-yard pass to Alshon
Jeffery to the Texans 30 on third-
and-10. Nate Sudfeld came in and
threw an incomplete pass, but
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles passes during the first quarter Sunday at
Lincoln Financial Field.
Foles returned on the next play.
His 20-yard pass to Zach Ertz on
third-and-10 put Philadelphia at
the Houston 35.
The Eagles ran the clock down
and Elliott made the kick to make
up for missing an extra point earli-
er in the quarter.
Patriots 24, Bills 12
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The
Patriots earned their 10th straight
AFC East title with Sony Michel
running for 116 yards and a touch-
down.
With the Eagles win over the
Texans, the Patriots are back in the
No. 2 spot in the AFC. A Patriots
win over the Jets next week would
give New England a first-round bye
in the playoffs.
New England (10-5) improved to
7-0 at home this season and
became the first franchise in NFL
history to earn playoff berths in
10 straight seasons. It also marked
BILL STREICHER/USA TODAY SPORTS
the Patriots’ fifth straight win over
the Bills and their 26th series
sweep of Buffalo (5-10).
Brady went 13 of 24 for 126
yards, a touchdown and two inter-
ceptions — his lowest output since
he passed for 123 yards in a 2003
loss to the Bills. But with the
touchdown he joined Peyton
Manning, Drew Brees and Philip
Rivers with at least 10 seasons of
4,000-plus passing yards.
Manning has 14 such seasons,
Brees entered the day with 12 and
Rivers has 10.
It was Michel’s fourth 100-yard
rushing game of the season.
Cowboys 27, Buccaneers 20
ARLINGTON, Texas — The
Cowboys wrapped up the NFC East
title when Dak Prescott accounted
for two touchdowns and Jaylon
Smith returned a fumble 69 yards
for a score.
Smith’s long return came after a
scrambling Jameis Winston lost
the ball on a blind-side sack by
Randy Gregory, who also recov-
ered a fumble to set up a touchdown
for a 14-point lead late in the third
quarter.
The Cowboys (9-6) clinched the
division title and their second trip
to the playoffs in three years with
Prescott and star running back
Ezekiel Elliott a week after failing
in their first chance with their first
shutout loss in 15 years, 23-0 at
Indianapolis.
Winston threw for 336 yards in
another prolific passing game for
the Buccaneers (5-10), who out-
gained the Cowboys 383-232 but
hurt themselves with turnovers and
holding penalties. Tampa Bay’s
third straight loss clinched the
franchise’s fifth season of at least
10 losses in the past six years, a
week after the Bucs were eliminated
from postseason contention.
Saints 31, Steelers 28
NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees
capped a 326-yard passing per-
formance with a 2-yard touchdown
to Michael Thomas with 1:25 left,
and the Saints clinched the top
seed in the NFC playoffs.
Alvin Kamara gained 105 yards
from scrimmage and ran for two
touchdowns for New Orleans (13-
2), which rallied for the lead after
two defensive stops in the fourth
quarter. New Orleans ended one
Steelers drive when Kurt Coleman
forced Stevan Ridley’s fumble, and
ended another by narrowly thwart-
ing a fake punt.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for
380 yards and three touchdowns for
the Steelers (8-6-1), connecting
14 times with Antonio Brown for
185 yards and two touchdowns.
Pittsburgh fell into second in the
AFC North behind Baltimore and
out of playoff position.
Pittsburgh drove into field-goal
range on its final drive, but JuJu
Schuster fumbled when he was
stripped by defensive lineman
Sheldon Rankins as the receiver
landed on top of his tackler.
Linebacker Demario Davis recov-
ered.
Rams 31, Cardinals 9
GLENDALE, Ariz. — C.J.
Anderson, playing five days after
he was signed by Los Angeles,
rushed for 167 yards — one shy of
his career high.
Anderson, playing in place of
the injured Todd Gurley, had a 4-
yard touchdown run and other runs
of 46 and 27 yards as the Rams
(12-3) rushed for 269 yards, most
allowed by Arizona on the ground
this season.
With the victory, Los Angeles
held on to the second-best record
in the NFC with one game to go.
Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald, in
perhaps his final home game,
threw the first touchdown pass of
his career, a 32-yard toss to David
Johnson.
But it was the only trip to the end
zone for the Cardinals (3-12), who
at 1-7 had the worst record home
since they moved to Arizona in
1988. A loss in their season finale
at Seattle would leave them 3-13,
matching the worst record since
that move from St. Louis.
All this leads to speculation that
Steve Wilks’ rookie season in
Arizona as head coach might be his
last.

LSU player kills man trying to rob him, teammate

By Brett Martel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two LSU football players were try-
ing to sell an electronic item when one
of them fatally shot an 18-year-old
man trying to rob them, police said
Sunday.
A statement released by Baton Rouge
police does not identify the players, but
a person familiar with the investigation
told The Associated Press that the play-
ers are running back Clyde Edwards-
Helaire and linebacker Jared Small.
The man killed was identified by police
as Kobe Johnson. He was not an LSU stu-
dent and died at the scene Saturday.
LSU players called police, waited at the
scene, were questioned and were released
while the investigation continues.
After Johnson displayed a weapon,
one of the players pulled out a handgun
and fired multiple times, police said.
Authorities have not said whether the
player was licensed to carry the firearm
he used.
It remains to be seen how LSU will
handle their playing status when the
Tigers finish the season against UCF in
the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1.
The only comment so far from LSU
has come from athletic director Joe
Alleva, who said in a statement that
the university was “in constant con-
tact with law enforcement regarding
this terrible situation.”

great atmosphere Monday night, on

highlights of the great Raiders teams. I get
excited and I get emotional about it.
Hopefully, we get it all resolved where we can
continue to play here.”
The Coliseum hosted its first pro football
game in 1966 and is now the last of the multi-
sport stadiums that were so prevalent in the
1970s and ‘80s. The Raiders share their home
with the Oakland Athletics, leading to the

adjustment and make them tackle in space.”

fully appreciate the history.

Good as Gould
Former Bears kicker Robbie Gould kicked
three field goals in the first half against his
former team after making all five in a 15-14
win at Chicago last year. Gould was cut by the
Bears before the 2016 season. Cody Parkey
missed a 37-yard field goal for Chicago in the
first quarter.

The 49ers finally got a takeaway.
Trubisky threw a lateral to Tarik Cohen in
the second quarter that ended up in a fumble
recovery by DeForest Buckner. The Niners
had gone a record six full games and 399
defensive plays without a takeaway since
last recording one Oct. 28 at Arizona. San

“Next question. I don’t want to start crying

The Broncos are a fitting final opponent,
having won more games there than any visit-
ing team as a longtime AFC West rival of the
Raiders. Coach Vance Joseph, who spent six
seasons as an assistant across the Bay with
the San Francisco 49ers, appreciates the lore
of the Coliseum.
“When you are all done with this job as a
player or a coach, all you have is ancient
memories and the awards you won,” he said.
“The memories are the most important, so you
can tell your kids about playing in that stadi-
um and who played at that stadium before you.
For the coaches and players to have a chance
to play there, if it’s going to be the last game,
it should be an honor.”

Melee leads to three ejections
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — The Chicago
Bears weren’t about to let a late hit
on quarterback Mitchell Trubisky go
unanswered, and Richard Sherman
wasn’t going to let the Bears retali-
ate against San Francisco teammate
Marcell Harris without a fight.
When the melee ended following
Harris’ late hit in Sunday’s 14-9 win
for the Bears over the 49ers, three
players were ejected and neither
team was happy.
“These are my guys. I don’t care at
the end of the day what the deal is.
You going to do all that, you let him
go,” Sherman said. “And it took too
long for them to let him go. So I
went in there to grab him and they
continued to pull and drug and grab
on me. I’m a grown man with kids. I
don’t have to care about any of that.
At the end of the day, they’re going
to be punched for it.”
The scuffle started after Trubisky
scrambled on third down and went
into a slide near the Chicago side-
line. Harris came over from his safe-
ty position and hit Trubisky late,
sending the quarterback’s head into
the ground.
The Bears (11-4) predictably took
exception and got in Harris’ face.
CARY EDMONDSON/USA TODAY
The Bears and 49ers scuffle in the
fourth quarter Sunday in Santa Clara.
“I just saw Mitch’s head hit the
ground real hard. It was an unneces-
sary hit,” receiver Anthony Miller
said. “He already missed a couple of
games because of a late hit. When I
see that, it’s dirty football.”
The 49ers (4-11) predictably saw
the play a different way with Harris
saying there was no ill intent on the
hit.
“You’re playing full, you’re play-
ing all out, lights out every play and
some of those plays might happen
every now and then where, with new
rules and how everything is, I feel
like I tried to let up as much as I
can,” he said. “But it’s not in my
hands. It’s in the refs’ hands.”
from 3-point range in the first half
Harris was immediately surround-
ed by several Bears players, leading
Sherman to come in the middle of it
to try to get his teammate out safely.
That led to the scrum where punches
were thrown by players on both
teams.
After a lengthy huddle by the offi-
cials and consultation with the
replay center in New York, referee
Alex Kemp announced that
Sherman, Miller and Bears receiver
Joshua Bellamy were all ejected.
Niners coach Kyle Shanahan gave
Sherman a handshake after getting
the news that his star cornerback
would finish the game in the locker
room.
“I just told him I appreciated how
he battled today,” Shanahan said. “I
don’t know what happened over
there and Sherm, very clearly to me,
was trying to get this brother’s back
and I love for guys to do it as much
as they can.”
Trubisky said he felt the same way
about his teammates, who stood up
for him following the hit.
“It didn’t surprise me,” he said. “I
saw exactly what I knew. My team-
mates had my back all the way,
which is awesome to see. We just
have to have my back and be smart
as a team because we can’t afford to
lose two guys like that.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The Cubs have
signed injured right-hander Kendall
Graveman to a one-year contract
with an option for the 2020 season.
The Cubs announced the deal
Sunday, taking a chance on the
starting pitcher after his 2018 sea-
son was cut short by Tommy John
surgery. Graveman was Oakland’s
opening day starter for the second
consecutive season, but he was
shut down in late May and had sur-
gery July 30. Terms of the deal
weren’t announced.
Graveman is unlikely to make
much impact in 2019, but he could
boost Chicago’s rotation in 2020.
Similar deals have become more
common for pitchers recovering
from major surgery.

Except for one kitten climbing the drapes.

She finally saw him, black boots from the flue
White beard, big tummy: jolly you-know-old-who.
He ho-ho’d quite gently, asked had she been good.

Respect them and love them, treat them like treasure
They’ll return those sweet gifts many times beyond meas-

And to love them, yes, and to honestly care:
Then true Christmas for all, for all a family to share.

PROJECT
Continued from page 1
could reduce the massing of the four-
story building.
Proposed to include six one-bed-
room, 17 two-bedroom and one three-
bedroom units, three of which would
be offered at a below-market rate, the
project would replace two vacant com-
mercial buildings where a restaurant
and a bar formerly operated. One
1,320-square-foot retail space and a
1, 436-square-foot restaurant space
with covered seating and patio area are
also included in plans for the ground
floor of the building facing El Camino
Real.
Architect Steve Kellond explained
that because of an AT&T easement run-
ning through the property, building
underground parking was not possible
and the developer instead chose to
focus on providing three forms of sur-
face parking. In addition to 11 regular
parking spaces, eight tandem spaces
offered to residents living in the same
unit and a three-stack puzzle lift sys-
tem with 14 spots would make a total
of 35 parking spaces available with
the project, for which 39 are required,
according to a staff report.
Unbundled parking
The developer is also proposing a
concept by which parking spaces are
unbundled from a homeowner’s pur-
chase of a condominium, a strategy
aimed at encouraging homeowners
without cars to move there and take
advantage of the building’s proximity
to public transportation hubs, such as
the city’s Caltrain station and
SamTrans bus stops.
Though commissioners commended
the developer for presenting an inno-
vative alternative to traditional park-
ing plans, they voiced concerns about
how the purchase of unbundled spots
would be administered, whether suffi-
cient spaces would be available to
guests and how spaces would be trans-
ferred among residents as the units are
sold over time.
In acknowledging the project’s
proximity to downtown San Carlos
BUDGET
Continued from page 1
Mulvaney withheld specifics but
placed the offer at between Trump’s
$5.7 billion request and $1.3 billion
Democrats are offering.
“We moved off of the five and we
hope they move up from their 1.3,”
Mulvaney said.
The director’s comment about the
president’s softening stance came less
a 202-apartment, eight-building proj-
ect dubbed the San Carlos Transit
Village, Commissioner John Dugan
noted the project’s density may be
consistent with the area. But he asked
for clarification from the developer as
to why so many aspects were reaching
the allowable limits.
“I just have a growing sense of this
project as one that has tried to maxi-
mize every dimension available,” he
said, according to a video of the meet-
ing. “Maybe this is our highest densi-
ty corner and there’s other large proj-
ects and so maybe we’re OK with that.”
Though Kellond acknowledged the
parking plan included in the proposal
may not work for projects on other
sites in the city, he said the developer
felt it could work well given the nearby
public transportation available. He
noted the developer wanted to create a
building in the California Spanish
style of architecture consistent with
the buildings around it and with small
retail and restaurant spaces in the
hopes of encouraging foot traffic on El
Camino real and reducing car trips in
and out of the project.
In response to Dugan’s question
about how the sale of the parking
spots would be administered, Kellond
said the purchases would be coordinat-
ed through the homeowners associa-
tion formed for the project. Though
there is no requirement to provide
parking spaces for the commercial
spaces, Mike Bruno, owner of the
building directly behind the project at
567 and 569 Laurel St., expected resi-
dents to face issues with guest parking
on already crowded nearby streets.
Reduction in height?
Though she commended the develop-
er for taking steps toward offering
unbundled parking as well as the style
of the building, Commissioner
Shannon Bergman wondered if reduc-
ing the project from four stories to
three stories could be considered.
With the three-story buildings
included in the Transit Village project
going up across the street and several
other one- and two-story buildings
nearby, Bergman felt the project was
too big and tall and questioned whether
than 24 hours after a senior administra-
tion official insisted to reporters on
Saturday that Congress give into
Trump’s demands, highlighting the
unpredictable nature of Trump’s negoti-
ating style.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., argued
instead for increasing the use of tech-
nology along the border instead of
building “some medieval wall.”
Asked whether he’s willing to
increase the price tag as long as the
money is not spent on a wall, Durbin
responded: “Absolutely.”
A stalemate over the wall led parts of

in the proposal would meet homeown-
ers’ expectations. Because the city’s
zoning allows a four-story building at
the site, City Attorney Greg Rubens
noted officials’ ability to require a
height reduction of the building is lim-
ited.
Though Kellond noted setbacks on
the fourth story of the building would
reduce its visual impact, Bergman sug-
gested the developer to explore further
changes to the design that would
reduce its mass.
“That is like our showcase of our
city,” she said. “That’s exactly where
we want to have everything aligned
and I have a hard time as it is with four
stories.”
Though he supported the idea of
offering parking spaces in an unbun-
dled fashion, Dugan said he would like
to see more detail on the ongoing
administration of the parking spaces,
noting concerns about what the pric-
ing would be for those living in the
below-market-rate units as well as the
possibility of residents selling them
to non-residents in the future. Though
he shared some of the concerns about
the project’s fit for the site, Dugan
acknowledged the benefits of the
dense, mixed-use project in a part of
the city where four stories is allowed.
“That’s what we need on El Camino,”
he said. “We need that housing over
commercial. That’s what’s going to
get people out of cars and using their
neighborhoods.”
In other business, the commission
also approved a below-market rate
housing plan for an 18-unit condo-
minium project at 1525 San Carlos
Ave. Initially approved in 2015 as a
four-story apartment building with a
commercial space, the developer
sought approval to offer the units as
for-sale condominiums and proposed
to offer one one-bedroom unit afford-
able to low-income households as well
as one two-bedroom and one three-bed-
room unit affordable to moderate-
income households to comply with the
city’s ordinance. Commissioners
approved the item with a condition
that the developer work with city staff
to ensure the below-market-rate units
are not adjacent to each other and are
not all located on the same floor.
the government to shut down Saturday
after funding for numerous departments
and agencies expired. The closure,
affecting hundreds of thousands of fed-
eral workers across the country, was
expected to last at least through late
this week after the House and Senate,
which each met in a rare weekend ses-
sion, adjourned until Thursday.
Monday and Tuesday, Christmas Eve
and Christmas, respectively, are federal
holidays, meaning the federal govern-
ment would already be closed.
Wednesday is the first day the public
could begin to feel the effects.

“What concerns me is the lack of accounta-
bility. It’s all short-term fixes and nothing
systemic they’re looking into,” he added.
Caltrans said homeless encampments on its
right-of-way have been a growing problem
throughout the state.
“Homelessness has been getting worse
over the years and it’s becoming a top priori-
ty with us,” said Caltrans District 4
spokesman Bob Haus. “I know it takes awhile
and part of that is because the problem is
growing so rapidly — there are more and more
of them to take care of, but we’re devoting
more resources to this.”
He said Caltrans’ budget to clean homeless
encampments has reached $15 million — a
90 percent increase over the previous fiscal
year. Last year, the agency cleared more than
6,000 encampments throughout the state.
Per the agency’s standard procedure, a
notice is posted at a camp 72 hours before
maintenance crews arrive. Records are kept of
possessions valued over $50 and campers
can claim them after the encampment is

burial
Cremation offers many options for final
disposition such as burial in a cemetery plot,
preservation in a columbarium niche, or
scattering at sea or in a place of meaning.
We are happy to explain all the choices
that accompany cremation. We hope you
will allow us to assist.

taken down. The agency also posts infor-
mation about social service organizations
on site.
“But removing encampments is only
temporary and more long-term solutions
are needed, which is why we’re working
with local partners, ” Haus said. “We’re
doing everything we can to work with local
communities. As one single entity, we
can’t solve this. We do need the help of all
of our partners and we’ve established very
good ones in the Bay Area and progress has
been made.”
Those partnerships have resulted in cre-
ative solutions for housing, Haus said. For
example, in San Francisco, Caltrans has
leased some of its land near highways to
the city for navigation centers, which is
transitional housing for the homeless. And
in Oakland, Caltrans worked with the city
to put wooden sheds on Caltrans property,
another form of transitional housing.
“We’re working on new ideas like that
and we’re willing to work with any city and
any organization that helps the homeless,”
he said.
There are no immediate plans for such
partnerships with Redwood City, but there
is movement on the local level to more
effectively address homelessness general-
ly.
