📰 News we're reading

• Why home values in this Bay Area city have plunged more than anywhere else (sfchronicle.com) — Emeryville’s home values have dropped more than any other California city, with typical prices down 16% in a year and condos hit especially hard. Local agents say high HOA dues, buyer wariness about condos, and more rental options in nearby cities are reshaping the market, even as some buyers are starting to return.
   

• Bay Area hospitals race to rebuild, facing new earthquake standards (eastbaytimes.com) — Emeryville could soon get its tallest building: a proposed 17‑story, $1 billion Sutter Health hospital designed to meet strict 2030 earthquake standards. The project is part of a broader Bay Area scramble to rebuild or retrofit hospitals so they can keep operating after a major quake, with billions in upgrades still needed statewide.
   

• New CA Laws Taking Effect July: What Residents Need To Know (patch.com) — Emeryville workers will see the local minimum wage rise to $20.34 per hour starting July 1, alongside other Bay Area cities. The new statewide laws also affect food labeling, school smartphone rules, all‑gender restrooms, autonomous vehicles, and restaurant allergen disclosures, shaping daily life for California residents.
