LIVERMORE, Calif. - A Livermore planning commissioner has issued an apology after he spoke out against a proposal to build an affordable housing project in the downtown neighborhood.
Commissioner John Stein said at a proposal meeting, I really don t want to see downtown become a ghetto of affordable housing. Just two minutes later, he doubled down on his position saying, I m concerned that we not create a ghetto.
He tried to drive his point home further by saying he didn t want Livermore to become the region s go-to place for low-income housing and questioned whether neighboring cities were doing their part.

Ten lucky children from Bournemouth enjoyed a morning of angling at Orchard Lakes Fishing Lake near New Milton in Hampshire, all thanks to Variety The Children’s Charity. It is the sixteenth year that these regular fishing events have taken place and organiser John Stein, from the Variety Wessex committee, says that more than 700 youngsters have benefitted from the scheme. John, himself a keen freshwater fisherman, along with professional angling coach Bob McMahon from Fun2Fish, give the participants tuition and tips on how to fish so that they get the most from these introductory sessions. The lake is designed to be a perfect place for learning. It contains thousands of fish that include carp, chub, roach and rudd and it is hoped that, during the session, every child will land a fish. Of course all the fish that are caught are quickly returned to the water.
