Once the West Coast's crown jewel, San Francisco's real estate market is crashing
nypost.com/2024/04/23/real-estate/san-franciscos-real-estate-market-is-crashing/
Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil
- The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.
- In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.
- Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'
- San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.
Elon Musk and Tesla: Is the CEO’s controversial behavior responsible for company’s struggles?
mercurynews.com/2024/04/22/elon-musk-and-tesla-is-the-ceos-controversial-behavior-responsible-for-companys-struggles/
Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges
- The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.
- Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.
- Experts suggest that Musk's conduct may deter potential customers, but larger issues impact his company. With growing competition in the electric vehicle market, his polarizing personality could lead to more significant long-term damage.
- While Musk may be damaging Tesla’s image with some consumers, the primary focus remains on the product and its dependability. Many consumers do not base their purchasing decisions on the political views of the company's leader.

- Anderson retained his humor during brutal captivity, experiencing lasting effects of PTSD even after settling on a quiet horse farm and reconnecting with his estranged daughter after her journalistic journey to Lebanon.
- After enduring harsh captivity, Anderson, a former Marine turned journalist, lived a fascinating life filled with danger and intense reporting before being kidnapped and held for years, leaving a legacy beyond his renowned journalism career.

Quick Glance: How Investment Firms Shield the Ultrawealthy from Tax Authorities
- In 2015, the U.S. Department of Treasury hired economist Owen Zidar to help government officials examine the growing use of complex company structures and trusts by the ultrawealthy. These new investment schemes, often referred to as 'large partnerships,' are pervasive in private equity funds and similar investment firms.
- Following years of budget cuts, it was evident to Owen Zidar, now a professor of economics at Princeton University, that the IRS was not effectively enforcing tax laws for the ultrarich.
- With a significant infusion of funding, the IRS is now making efforts to penetrate these opaque bastions of wealth. An investigation by ICIJ sheds light on the challenges faced by the tax authority in untangling the secretive structures of the ultrawealthy.
- Partnerships play a crucial role in U.S. tax law and have become a focal point for large fortunes, contributing to a poorly understood aspect of growing economic inequality. Despite additional funding for the IRS, addressing large partnerships remains a formidable task.

Quick Glance: Santa Clara: The Swiftie Capital of the USA
- When Santa Clara ceremonially changed its name to Swiftie Clara last summer in honor of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking “The Eras Tour” coming to town, it was supposed to be a fun gesture for two nights only. But the moniker seems to have stuck, as new data suggests the Silicon Valley city is the nation’s Swiftie Capital.
- How did Santa Clara achieve this recognition? Through an analysis by Casino.org of the 20 cities visited by Swift on the 2023 U.S. leg of her tour, evaluating various metrics such as tour attendance, Google searches, TikTok posts, and Swift-themed events.
- Approximately 10,700 TikTok videos were recorded during Swift's concerts on July 28 and 29 in Santa Clara. One standout video shows Swift pointing to the crowd during the “Enchanted” musical interlude, with fireworks from Great America lighting up the background.
- Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor, who named Swift the honorary mayor, expressed pride in her city being the Swiftie Capital. The tour attracted around 137,000 fans, surpassing the city's population.

Buyers grab downtown San Jose condos in foreclosure auction with winning bids up to $32,300
mercurynews.com/2024/04/09/san-jose-real-estate-house-home-foreclose-auction-condo-economy-china/
Quick Glance: Buyers Secure San Jose Downtown Condos at Foreclosure Auction with Bids up to $32,300
- Potential buyers gathered for an auction to acquire ten condominiums in a residential building in downtown San Jose constructed by a developer facing challenges, despite legal processes aiming to postpone the foreclosure and sale.
- Following the delinquency of Z&L Properties in paying the HOA maintenance fees for the ten condominiums, the association for the dual-tower complex organized the auction.
- Despite the issuance of a temporary restraining order by Santa Clara County Superior Court Helen Williams on April 2, the auction activities continued outside the courthouse, leading to an unexpected and thrilling sequence of events.
- Z&L Properties has a 90-day window to reclaim ownership of the recently sold units if the outstanding fees, fines, and interests for each condominium are settled. Nevertheless, the purchasers of the nine units paid a remarkable fraction of the expected price for residential properties in a high-rise building in the Bay Area.

Quick Glance: Tiny Cupertino Home with Large Yard Sells for Over $1.7 Million
- A home in Cupertino, California, measuring less than 400 square feet is making headlines nationwide with a surprising asking price of over $1.7 million. The small one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is likened to a hotel room, too small for a regular refrigerator or stove in the kitchen.
- The property received eight offers, all above the asking price, with the winning bidder expected to close the deal in May. The bulk of the property's value, according to co-listing agent Perez, lies in the land, offering potential for expansions or new constructions.
- The home's location at the end of a cul-de-sac, near hiking trails and Silicon Valley's tech hubs, is crucial. Its proximity to the Los Altos Hills border, where property values start at an estimated $5 million, positively impacts surrounding communities. Cupertino city permits the owner to build a home exceeding 3,600 square feet.
- Originally used as a hunting cabin, the house was built brick by brick in the 1940s by the family currently selling it. While the final sale price remains undisclosed, it is confirmed to be selling for "considerably over asking."

‘You can have him.’ Why John Calipari’s exit from Kentucky is best for both parties.
kentucky.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/john-clay/article287478925.html
Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari
- John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.
- The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.
- Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.
- This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.
