Officials at Glorieta Adventure Camps said there have been 67 coronavirus cases among evacuees, including some that required hospitalization. After her isolation period, Maes said she was urged to leave and go to a hotel in Santa Fe where she could be closer to a hospital if she went into labor.

It’s official: Bay Area is the last place in the US with rent below pre-pandemic levels
The Bay Area is the last place in the U.S. with rental prices below pre-pandemic levels, according to a new report from Apartment List . That seems like a rosy headline — for us renters at least — but the question remains how long the “depressed” prices will last. New data estimates rents in the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley area are still down 3.3% compared with March 2020 and the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara area is down 1.3%. Meanwhile, nationwide rental prices have climbed more than 16% in just the past year, with big cities in Florida such as Miami climbing 34% since the month the pandemic shut down much of the U.S. In a separate report , Apartment List put median rent for a one-bedroom in San Francisco at $2,390 in April — a mere 0.7% month-over-month increase, but a 12.1% increase year-over-year. Experts predict there are a number of factors affecting these still-shrunken prices, one of which being that the Bay Area has one of the most remote-friendly workforces. … [Read more...] about It’s official: Bay Area is the last place in the US with rent below pre-pandemic levels
