Opinion: California cities lose money, harm citizens with ‘poverty tows’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:39 GMT

In California, if you don’t have enough money to pay for parking tickets, the government may take your car.Every year, tens of thousands of low-income Californians lose their vehicles simply because they cannot afford to pay for parking tickets. City governments tow the cars not because they are currently parked illegally but because their owners haven’t paid past parking fines. The vehicles then run up storage fees at towing facilities — fees that low-income vehicle owners also cannot pay.As a result, the cars are auctioned off. The outcome is that our cities are not only punishing people for being poor, but also taking away their lifeline for climbing out of poverty.That is not the way California’s cities should be treating their most economically vulnerable residents. Losing a car can cost individuals their job, their medical care, their childcare and even their personal safety.Many cities require vehicle owners to pay all their parking ticket debt, snowballing late fees an...

The program will provide $1,200 a month for two years, if approved. It is one of four guaranteed basic income initiatives being tested by Santa Clara County, most of which are in the planning phase. Supervisors also approved a separate pilot program to train formerly incarcerated or otherwise justice-involved people to work in food service by setting up a cafeteria at the Civic Center. Ky Le, a deputy county executive who gave the presentation Tuesday, told the board that the guaranteed basic income program would cost $4 million. Supervisors allocated $2 million from the county's American Rescue Plan Act funds, which will be supplemented by $1 million each from the state...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:39 GMT

U.S.-trained military officers have been appointed to head five of eight regions of Niger by a junta that includes at least five U.S.-trained military officers, The Intercept has learned. While the Pentagon claims its instruction doesn’t lead to mutinies, innovative research by a former Pentagon analyst indicates the opposite could be true.The Nigerien junta, which calls itself the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Fatherland, seized power on July 26 and detained the democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum. Earlier this month, the junta reportedly installed eight top security officials to govern its seven regions and the capital district. This consolidation of power included the appointments of Brig. Gens. Iro Oumarou and Ibrahim Bagadoma; Col. Maj. Oumarou Tawayé; Inspector General of Police Issoufou Mamane; and Col. Labo Issoufou. All have “participated in U.S.-sponsored training,” a State Department spokesperson said in response to questions from The Intercept....

Denver among top 15 most fun cities in US

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:39 GMT

DENVER (Stacker) — People crunch any variety of metrics when settling on a city to visit or live in. Some of these factors have to do with the cost of living or staying, or how easy it is to go around by foot or public transit. Other considerations might be in the architecture, culture, and history of a place. But for many people, there's one prevailing question: Is it any fun?Some cities offer the same degree of fun or even the same type of fun, of course, so how do you figure out where to cut loose? To find out, and because "fun" can be an elusive variable, Stacker referred to WalletHub data which applies science in its methodology.The site compared 182 cities—including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state—across three dimensions: entertainment and recreation, nightlife and parties, and cost. Next, the cities were evaluated according to 65 key metrics, which ranged from fitness centers per capita to movie costs to average...
