Quick Glance: A South Bay Couple's Journey to Find Their First Home Amid Expecting a Baby
  • Nishant Singh and Apeqsha Dudani decided to purchase a $1.5 million home in the Bay Area upon learning they are expecting a daughter in July. Despite high interest rates and fierce market competition, their budget ranged between $1.3 and $1.5 million.

  • Prioritizing a single-family home with at least three bedrooms and space for parental visits in a good school district, they opted for a $1,339,000 house in South San Jose after considering various options in San Jose and Fremont.

  • Although initially aiming not to spend more than $1.5 million, an offer of $1.625 million allowed them to secure the house. Despite the higher price, they achieved a $1,200 monthly savings on the mortgage and look forward to preparing their new home for their daughter.

  • Two weeks after moving in, they are still adjusting to homeownership and plan to prepare the house for their daughter. Despite initial concerns about distance from friends, they are excited to host events and gatherings, including a baby shower in June.

Quick Glance: Bringing Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is Wrong | Opinion
  • Sports radio personality David Weiglein, known as 'Carmichael Dave', opposes the temporary relocation of the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento by Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.

  • Weiglein argues that bringing the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is wrong due to owner John Fisher being considered one of the worst in sports and advocates for the A's to remain in Oakland.

  • He cautions that Sacramento would receive a bad reputation as game attendance might dwindle after the initial novelty wears off, leaving loyal fans feeling duped.

  • Weiglein draws a parallel to the heroic story of saving the Sacramento Kings from moving to Seattle, emphasizing his refusal to engage with an owner like Fisher.
