Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Big Short Guru Battles California City Over Massive Backyard Project That Could Be Deadly (pulptastic.com) — Saratoga residents should know that investor Michael Burry is suing the city to halt the approved 25-home Masson Estates project in the Pierce Road hills, arguing it poses extreme wildfire and evacuation risks. His nonprofit's court petition challenges the City Council's reversal of the Planning Commission's earlier denial, citing tree removal, fire-zone designation, and reliance on the state's "builder's remedy" housing rules.
• Palo Alto secures 4-2 victory over Saratoga (vikingsportsmag.com) — Saratoga High's field hockey team fell 4–2 to Palo Alto on September 22, despite striking first just three minutes into the match. After Saratoga's early goal, Palo Alto adjusted its passing and ball control to seize momentum, ultimately outpacing Saratoga's defense and maintaining pressure to secure the comeback win.
• Could Wildfire Risk Hurt Your Mortgage—or Get You a Better Deal? (greenbuildermedia.com) — A new housing and mortgage analysis highlights how lenders treat wildfire risk differently, and uses a controversial 25-home proposal in Saratoga's fire-prone hills as a real-world example. The piece also explores broader trends in sustainable building, EV-powered homes, and upcoming green construction conferences that could influence future California housing and energy decisions.
