📰 News we're reading

• South Bay office building is bought in deal that points to weak values (fresnobee.com) — A major Campbell office building on South Bascom Avenue just sold for far below its assessed value, signaling how weak commercial prices could affect local property tax revenue. The three-story building went for about 60% under its 2025 valuation, raising questions about future funding for Campbell-area city services, schools, and regional agencies that depend on those taxes.    

• A $12.99 Subscription Lets Non-Tesla EVs Avoid Tesla's 40% Charging Premium (thenewswheel.com) — If you fast-charge an EV in Campbell, Tesla’s Supercharger pricing can differ sharply depending on your car. A recent example showed Tesla drivers paying about $0.48 per kWh while non-Tesla owners paid $0.68, unless they buy a $12.99 monthly membership that evens out the rates.
