May 2010 Archives
Housing:
With the housing market finally looking up to developers in Antelope Valley, the survivors of the bust are trying to recoup their losses while figuring out what buyers will want next.
Economy:
Borax miners are back to work after a three-and-a-half-month lockout ended on Saturday. Finally the union and Rio Tinto agreed on a new labor contract to get the miners back in the pit.
Mobility:
New stops near the UCLA campus were supposed to help revive an ailing bus line from Antelope Valley to L.A.'s west side and slash the number of students coming by car. But despite the promise of dramatic cost savings, few commuters have taken the bait.
Housing:
Nearly one in five office buildings in Ventura County are vacant. For some it seems like one more disaster, but others see it as an amazing opportunity for commercial real estate investors.
Education:
Park View Middle School opened in 1949. Now, with a $12 million budget deficit, too few students in the district and the walls literally about to come down, Park View will be shuttered in July.
Government:
By more than a two-to-one margin, voters elected for their city to gain control over municipal matters and distance itself from California and its troubled finances.
