Robotaxis wreak havoc in San Francisco. Don’t want them in your Bay Area city? Tough luck

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:59:55 GMT

Driverless, traffic-snarling robot taxis that just started transporting paying passengers in San Francisco are expected to expand to other Bay Area cities — whether local officials and residents want them or not.Just a day after state regulators allowed robotaxi leaders Cruise and Waymo to start taking paid fares with self-driving vehicles and no onboard human backup on Aug. 10, nearly a dozen robotaxis abruptly stopped and jammed traffic in the city’s North Beach neighborhood.A few days later, as Aaron Peskin, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, was perched at a sidewalk table at the scene of the North Beach snarl-up, a Cruise car behind him started a left turn onto busy, four-lane Columbus Avenue, then suddenly veered right to continue straight up Vallejo Street. Peskin turned to watch as the driverless car stopped 15 feet behind the stop line at Grant Avenue, paused a few seconds, then blew through the stop sign as it turned left.“To borrow the words ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:59:55 GMT

For Kaleb Casper, 18, the opportunity to go to college is a big one — for him and his parents who never had that experience. But their dream could soon get more expensive.A possible annual 6% hike in tuition across the California State University (CSU) system, which Casper was previously unaware of, could force him to increase his college debt. While he receives some financial aid, a quarter of his tuition still isn’t covered, so he’ll have to take out student loans, and he plans to work through college to help support himself.“It’s kind of scary because scholarships don’t just come out of nowhere,” said Casper, a freshman from Stockton who is focusing on environmental studies at San Jose State University. “I know my parents struggle a lot with keeping up with all my costs because I can’t obviously work full time … it’s hard for them and me.”The hike, which the CSU Board of Trustees is expected to vote on next month, comes ...

Bay Area home prices fall as mortgage rates spike. Could it last?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:59:55 GMT

Bay Area home prices are falling as mortgage rates climb to their highest levels in more than two decades, squeezing many house-hunters out of the market and keeping would-be sellers on the fence.The median price of existing single-family homes dropped 5.2% to $1.26 million across the region from June to July, according to the California Association of Realtors. The decline followed steady price gains most of the year as sales picked up during the traditionally busier spring and early summer home-buying seasons.But now, spiking mortgage rates are slamming the brakes on an already challenged local real estate market. On Thursday, Freddie Mac reported the average rate for a typical 30-year fixed mortgage rose to 7.09%, up from 6.96% last week, reaching the highest peak since 2002.“People are just not jumping into buying a home right now at these interest rates,” South Bay real estate agent Ramesh Rao said.Meanwhile, a 30-year fixed “jumbo” home loan — which is ...
