Crockett might be the Bay Area’s last surviving example of a historic “company town." But as the town's reaction to a labor dispute at the sugar factory that helped build it has shown, the relationship between company and town is far from what it once was. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

A sugar company built this Bay Area town. Now residents are turning against it
"Folks will always love the history Crockett shares with C&H. But right now, a lot of people are upset with how C&H is treating employees.”

“The pent-up demand was just unreal."
For three years, landslides severed access to the south of Big Sur. Now, with Highway 1 fully reopened, tourism in this iconic road-trip destination is finally back — in a major way. sfchronicle.com/california/art…

Union City is the fastest shrinking city in the Bay Area. High housing costs combined with mediocre schools and a lack of amenities drive out young families. It is becoming a city of empty nesters and DINKs.

Coastal California is voluntarily turning itself into a retirement community.
The cultural tradeoffs from that decision are going to be horrific.

Friendly reminder to anyone who might be forgetting: People are more than their careers. A man dying at 36 is not the time to bemoan "wasted talent."

May 27 was my last day at the San Francisco Chronicle. Covering the NBA was a lifelong dream and I’m grateful for my colleagues, editors and the Golden State Warriors for facilitating an amazing experience. Thanks to the readers who joined me on the journey.
