📰 News we're reading

1. Double Rainbow All The Way: Photo Of The Day (patch.com) — Fremont readers are treated to a striking double rainbow captured from Mission Peak by local photographer Jayesh Patel, showcasing the city’s natural beauty. The feature invites residents to submit their own high-resolution photos that highlight Northern California scenery, fun moments, and unique perspectives for future Photo of the Day spotlights.    

2. Fremont man charged with killing pedestrian while attempting to get away from cops (eastbaytimes.com) — A Fremont resident has been charged in connection with a December crash that killed a pedestrian walking along Osgood Road in Fremont. Prosecutors say police tried to stop the speeding driver but did not pursue, and the man is now ordered to appear in court April 30.    

3. Representative Eric Swalwell resigns from Congress (tricityvoice.com) — Fremont residents will soon have a vacant congressional seat after Representative Eric Swalwell resigned from California’s 14th District, which includes Fremont, Pleasanton, and San Leandro. He stepped down following multiple sexual assault allegations, which he denies, and has also suspended his campaign for California governor, leaving local representation and the race in flux.    

4. The Most Affordable Cities for California Renters (californiacitynews.org) — Fremont ranks as California’s most affordable big city for renters, with typical households spending about 19% of their income on rent and placing 20th nationwide in a new WalletHub study. While that’s better than other California cities like San Francisco and San Jose, the report still highlights how even the “most affordable” parts of the state remain costly for tenants.
