Today's riddle: Why did the man leave his watch in the bank? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 18-year-old arrested in gang-related San Jose shooting (nbcbayarea.com) — San Jose police arrested an 18-year-old resident in connection with a gang-motivated June shooting that left an unoccupied vehicle hit by multiple bullets near Lavander Avenue and Palmia Drive. Officers later seized two loaded firearms at the suspect's home, and investigators are asking anyone with information about this or similar incidents to contact the Gang Investigations Unit or Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers.
2. San Jose public workers could strike amid contract dispute (sanjosespotlight.com) — Thousands of San Jose city workers have overwhelmingly authorized a strike, escalating a contract dispute that could disrupt libraries, community centers, and other services if talks fail. Unions argue wages and AI-related job protections lag behind local living costs, while city officials cite tight budgets and say they're ready to keep negotiating.
3. San Jose leaders to vote on allowing more homes in single-family zoning districts (nbcbayarea.com) — San Jose leaders are preparing for a pivotal vote on whether to allow multi-unit "middle housing" in traditional single-family zones, a change that could reshape many neighborhoods. Supporters frame it as a path to more affordability, while critics question whether added density alone will lower costs and raise concerns about parking and neighborhood impacts.
4. A closer look: San Jose's Eataly inspection reports (nbcbayarea.com) — Health inspectors briefly closed Terra Restaurant and Bar inside San Jose's Eataly at Westfield Valley Fair after finding cockroaches, though the spot reopened the next day following remediation. A review of recent county inspections shows mostly strong scores across Eataly's various areas, with earlier minor violations noted and corrected, and the company stressing its commitment to food safety.
