• Police: Pokemon card stolen in Facebook Marketplace setup (berkeleyscanner.com) — A Pittsburg resident has been charged in a high-value Pokémon card theft that began with a Facebook Marketplace meetup in Berkeley. Police say license plate readers and cellphone data tied him to the crime before officers arrested him at his Pittsburg home, and a judge will now decide if the felony case proceeds to trial. 
• Harder's Bills to Build More Homes Headed to the President's Desk (contracosta.news) — New federal housing legislation is poised to steer more grants and financing toward Opportunity Zone communities, including Pittsburg, potentially boosting affordable housing and redevelopment.
