Iconic West Coast beer brand Stone Brewing to leave SoCal while hundreds of workers laid off<\/a><\/p>\n

By Titus Wu | California Post<\/p>\n

Hundreds of workers are set to lose their jobs after\u00a0one of the largest breweries<\/a>\u00a0in Southern California announced its production facilities will be leaving the region.<\/p>\n

Stone Brewing will be exiting its three locations in Escondido as the company moves production to Paso Robles in San Luis Obispo County and to Kansas City.<\/p>\n

Sapporo, the former owner of the craft beer pioneer, will first lay off 58 workers in late October before eventually axing a total of 220 employees, according to a notification letter filed with the state.<\/p>\n

The hidden tax California imposes on the rest of the country<\/a><\/p>\n

By Vince Fong | California Post<\/p>\n

When Americans buy groceries, fill up their cars or purchase goods shipped through\u00a0California\u2019s ports<\/a>, they are paying for a climate mandate they never voted for, imposed by an unelected agency in California.<\/p>\n

That agency is the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which instituted the \u201cVessels At-Berth<\/a>\u201d regulation that is raising prices across the country by imposing new compliance costs on shipping and petroleum movements through California.<\/p>\n

Right now, California is in a\u00a0self-imposed energy crisis<\/a>. Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s policies have systematically dismantled the state\u2019s energy infrastructure, placing our fuel supply under immense strain. Californians already pay some of the highest gasoline prices in the nation, over\u00a0$1.50<\/a>\u00a0more per gallon than the national average.<\/p>\n

In San Diego, You Can\u2019t Really Trust Sidewalks<\/a><\/p>\n

by Naomi Granata | Voice of San Diego<\/p>\n

Before I moved to San Diego, everyone told me this was not a walkable city. But I\u2019m French and used to getting around on foot, so I wasn\u2019t worried about not having a car.<\/p>\n

That changed when I started walking everywhere. I didn\u2019t realize how dangerous it could be or how often I had to cross paths with people driving their cars.<\/p>\n

In San Diego, the sidewalks have a lot of curb cuts. I didn\u2019t know how many there were, especially clustered together in certain areas, until I\u00a0started reporting on a developer<\/a>\u00a0of a proposed downtown gas station with seven driveways who lobbied the City Council to approve his project, defying the city\u2019s pedestrian safety policies.<\/p>\n
