San Joaquin County is transforming an empty lot in downtown Stockton into affordable apartments for unhoused people using a $2.1 million grant the state awarded it late last month.
The empty lot at East Sonora Street and the commercial building located at South El Dorado Street will soon be revamped as Sonora Square Apartments: two buildings of roughly 16,000 and 10,000 square feet and containing 21 and 11 units respectively. The units will be available for rent for those dealing with serious mental illness and who are homeless.
Occupants will likely be able to move in in the fall of 2023, Peter Ragsdale, the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin (HACSJ), said in an email.
Canada awarded the Dalai Lama Citizenship of Canada in 2006, but never actually did anything to protest the gross human rights violations of the People’s Republic of China against Tibetans. We have thankfully accepted many Tibetan refugees into Canada but we did nothing to stop the human rights violations, which still continue. Instead we continue to seek closer economic ties with China and allow them to take over unsustainable ventures in the tar sands. Canadian companies were involved in building the railroad from Beijing to Lhasa, which has facilitated mass migration of Han Chinese into Tibet, who now far outnumber Tibetans in Tibet. This railroad is also facilitating massive logging and mining in the previously pristine Tibetan plateau.
Where are the federal Liberals in Prince George-Peace River?
It seems like there are more people seeking the Conservative nomination in the riding than there are actual Liberal members. Have the Liberals written off the riding? In 2008 it was well after the election call that the Liberals got a candidate in place.
Here we go again. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has until next spring to call a by-election in the riding, barring a toppling of the minority government in Ottawa before than.
We know there will be a by-election. The Conservatives know there will be a by-election they have six people seeking the nomination.
