Parking tickets aren’t enforceable at this Bay Area mall. Confused shoppers are still paying

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:50:07 GMT

David Mourra rushed his kids to their seats at Bay Street Emeryville’s AMC Theatre earlier this spring, not wanting to miss the opening scenes of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” on the big screen.But running late to one of the East Bay’s most prominent shopping, restaurant, and entertainment hubs meant that Mourra, who was elected to the Emeryville City Council last year, didn’t have time to figure out the mall’s new, app-based pre-paid parking ticket system for the few thousand spaces onsite.That brief oversight turned into a $36 ticket he couldn’t dispute, because no one answered the ticket company’s phone line.“Out of curiosity, I called again to explain what I thought was a rather sympathetic situation — I don’t aspire to be any sort of scofflaw — but I got a voicemail box when I called at 11 a.m.,” Mourra said during an Emeryville City Council meeting in June. “I’m concerned that maybe (the parking app) Park Smart is not set up to provide the l...

At first glance, nothing appears out of the ordinary at San Jose’s animal shelter.A steady stream of kittens comes through its doors, as they do every day. Dogs bark ferociously in their kennels. Rabbits sit peacefully next to leafy greens beneath the brightly lit atrium of the nearly 20-year-old city shelter.But a deeper look at the city-run San Jose Animal Care Center reveals a simmering crisis.Amid an explosion of needy animals, a culture of neglect and inadequate medical care for cats is rapidly enveloping the facility, a group of volunteers, veterinarians and rescue organizations told The Mercury News.The situation is complicated by a confluence of challenges exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, including staffing and funding issues, the reduction of spay and neuter services and a jump in veterinarian costs.Dogs look out from their cages at San Jose Animal Care Center on Monday, Sept. 18, 2023, in San Jose, Calif.

Shelter expansion is a ‘defining moment’ for domestic violence survivors in the East Bay

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:50:07 GMT

LIVERMORE — For Christine Dillman, executive director of Tri-Valley Haven, there’s nothing worse than telling someone who is trying to escape an abusive partner that the nonprofit’s shelter is full.During the coronavirus pandemic — which reduced capacity — and amid the survivor-led #MeToo movement, Dillman said the organization’s shelter for those fleeing domestic violence has often been full.“It’s so hard when somebody is calling — they’re a family in Pleasanton, and they’re fleeing and we have no space,” Dillman said in an interview. “Of course, we do everything we can. We work with other shelters, but that family doesn’t necessarily want to go to San Jose or Oakland or somewhere out of the area.”Now, Tri-Valley Haven, which is based in Livermore, is moving toward what Dillman described as a “defining moment” for domestic violence survivors in the East Bay. It plans by early next year to break ground on ...

They said it: GOP House Speaker vents on stalled spending talks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:50:07 GMT

“It’s frustrating in the sense that I don’t understand why anybody votes against bringing the idea and having the debate. This is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down. That doesn’t work.”— House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Bakersfield Republican, on GOP infighting over passing bills to keep the government funded and avert a partial shutdown next month, led by spending hardliners in his party. Talks are expected to resume Monday.

Inter stay perfect with 1-0 win at Empoli, which is still without a point or a goal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:50:07 GMT

MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan’s perfect start to the Serie A season continued with a 1-0 win at Empoli on Sunday but the Nerazzurri found it harder than they perhaps expected against a side that has yet to register a point or score a goal after five matches.It needed a special strike from Federico Dimarco in the second half to break down Empoli’s resolute defense, which had conceded 12 goals in its previous four matches.More than half of those came in last weekend’s 7-0 defeat at Roma, which led to the dismissal of coach Paolo Zanetti and the hiring of Aurelio Andreazzoli for his third spell at the club.Inter has now won all five of its Serie A matches, conceding just one goal, and moved three points ahead of second-place AC Milan.Defending champion Napoli can move to within five points of Inter with a win at Bologna later. Roma, Atalanta and Fiorentina were also playing later.Inter travelled to Empoli full of confidence after last weekend’s 5-1 thrashing of Milan in the city derby...
