Re: “Some Power Restored as Another Blackout Looms”
If the people of HC don't rise up in revolt, we get what PG&E decides to dish out. Call state reps, gov... stop paying taxes... There is no reason to run a state like this.. People are dying... and it has cost each and every one of us what PG& E should be paying. The Utility monopoly agreement is OVER>>>> Now we need free market power... PG&E stock is priced correctly... it's worth $0..... Time for local power... HC has a power plant... PG& E says????? Too expensive to run... No way to segregate... Let's take a look. No more PG&E.... I'm not a ratepayer... If i were... PG&E would be getting a payment well after the cost are deducted for this... What....??? They will turn you off??? The idiots that bankrupted PG&E are deciding when and who to turn off... They need to be in prison now...

Re: “Town Hall Focuses on Need for Transitional Housing”
So Eureka just voted to sell city owned property on Broadway to an upscale hotel developer instead of the other choice to create more alcohol and drug treatment beds. Tourist will not be coming to Eureka while tremendous numbers of homeless are chased up and down 101 by the police, carrying their remaining essentials in giant plastic bags, or shopping carts. Misdirected opportunities and priorities. A sanctioned area where homeless could be minimally housed and be safe , warm and dry is the essential next step... not a hotel... that's not going to attract tourists repelled by the blight and lack of care for the destitude... priorities!
Re: “The Last Days of the Budget Motel”
A permanent solution to a temporary problem. Lawsuits and further expenses exceeding rehab cost will be levied against Eureka... GL there removing, rather than managing the substandard housing critical to many in a city with a declared shelter crisis. It will be a minimum of 3 years before replacement housing is constructed. There maybe residual residential rights for former residents required, and litigation, leaving site vacant for a decade. Way to go Eureka!

Re: “UPDATED: Eureka City Council to Consider Camping Ban”
Compassionate Progresive here.
Should we all support marching the unfortunate from zone to zone while isolation has just been ramped up...again? Isn't "camping" with marshmallows and singing songs? What does that have to do with having to sleep, when you don't have a home or other shelter? We can do much better, as was recently demonstrated with Roomkey and Homekey funding. Lets keep up the progress, and compassion. Those are positive labels, BTW. Nice ordinance for the holiday season, and the covid-19 explosion. Great work ECC! (not)
