Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Waterford Property Co. Breaks Ground on Affordable Multifamily Community in Milpitas, California (rebusinessonline.com) — A new 75‑unit affordable apartment community is now under construction at 1397 California Circle in Milpitas, aimed at families earning 30%–70% of area median income. Opening in early 2028, it will include extensive resident amenities and free onsite social services like youth tutoring, leadership programs, and adult financial literacy classes.
2. Santa Clara County Approves $1 Billion Jail Modernization Plan (correctionalnews.com) — Santa Clara County has approved a roughly $1 billion, multiyear plan that will heavily upgrade Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas with new medical, mental health, and housing buildings while reducing overall jail capacity. The work aims to fix deteriorating conditions, meet federal consent decrees, and shift some higher‑security housing to Milpitas over the next decade.
3. Kerala Women Killed in Separate Bay Area Incidents (indiawest.com) — Milpitas police are investigating a fatal hit‑and‑run at Mill Creek Apartments on Dixon Landing Road that killed a woman from Kerala, India, just hours before a friend was fatally stabbed in San Jose. Officers quickly located a damaged SUV and arrested a 32‑year‑old Milpitas resident, while both departments continue probing possible links between the two homicides.
4. Milpitas: Single-family home sells for $2.4 million (mercurynews.com) — A Milpitas single-family home on Calle del Prado recently sold for about $2.36 million, highlighting rising neighborhood prices. The three-bedroom, two-bath house joins several other nearby Milpitas properties that closed this summer, giving residents a snapshot of current local home values and how much similar-sized houses are fetching right now.
5. 17-year-old Sanaah Pande's nonprofit has provided $100,000 in free dental care to veterans (milpitasbeat.com) — A teen‑led nonprofit called HopeWorks, based in Milpitas, has already provided more than $100,000 in free dental care to veterans, including a recent $15,000 clinic day at Milpitas Smile Design. Founder Sanaah Pande partners with local dentists, runs a mobile dental office, and hopes to expand both services and financial support for veterans across the Bay Area from her Milpitas hub.
