Reporting from Sacramento — Three quarters of California voters believe the state should restrain home building in areas at high risk of wildfires, a new survey has found.

The UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies Poll, prepared for the Times, shows bipartisan support for such restrictions after deadly fires wiped out tens of thousands of homes across the state in the last two years.

“The voters think there should be limits,” said Mark DiCamillo, director of the Berkeley IGS Poll.

The survey revealed broad backing across party lines, demographic groups and all regions in California for restricting growth in wildfire zones. Nearly 85% of Democrats support doing so compared with 57% of Republicans and 72% of independent voters.

At least 66% of respondents in every region of the state back the idea, including the non-Bay Area northern section. This includes the area surrounding Paradise, which was almost entirely destroyed in last fall’s Camp fire and where many homeowners have said they hope to rebuild.

Overall, 37% of voters surveyed said they supported strongly limiting new home building in wildfire areas with an additional 38% saying they somewhat supported the idea.

Despite voters’ willingness to restrict growth in wildfire areas, Gov. Gavin Newsom and lawmakers have not openly discussed the idea among other options to prevent destructive infernos. State leaders have instead focused their discussions on utility companies’ financial responsibility for the blazes, how to pay for damages from wildfires and cutting back vegetation and other ways to manage the state’s forests.

Last year Ken Pimlott, the recently retired head of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said that government should consider stopping home building in threatened communities because of the substantial loss of property and lives.

But in an interview with the Associated Press this spring, Newsom rejected it.

“There’s something that is truly Californian about the wilderness and the wild and pioneering spirit,” Newsom said. “I’m not advocating for no” building.

Natural disaster is inevitable in California. And it can define a governor’s legacy »

Stanford University’s Michael Wara, who serves on a state wildfire commission, said the scale of recent fires is influencing how Californians think about development, even those whose property is safe.

“They wake up and go outside and they can’t breathe and there’s ash on their car,” said Wara, who directs the school’s climate and energy policy program. “It’s not something you read about in the newspaper. It’s something you experience.”

But Wara said any decision to limit growth in fire zones remains politically difficult. People who own land or might want to build in those areas strongly prefer to maintain the status quo.

“This is an issue where there’s concentrated very powerful interests that have a lot to lose by changing the rules,” he said.

It’s also possible that voters might support the idea for limiting growth but not the details of what a plan might look like, said DiCamillo, the pollster. A recent Cal Fire report said 1 in 4 Californians live in areas considered at high risk for wildfires, including in suburban Southern California and the Bay Area.

People who live in parts of Marin County may not realize they reside in one of these zones when answering that question, he said. “They’re probably thinking about all these rural areas.”

The Berkeley poll also examined other housing issues and found less consensus among voters than that of limiting growth in wildfire areas. The survey offered respondents three proposed solutions for making housing more affordable: offering more tax breaks or subsidies for lower and middle-income homebuyers; allowing more apartment or condominium construction along mass transit routes; or increasing the share of apartments with rent control.

None of the three answers achieved close to majority support. Additional tax breaks ranked highest with 34% backing. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed did not agree with any of the options.

Voters were evenly divided over whether the state should take a more aggressive role on housing issues and require cities and counties to build more homes in their communities. The poll found 51% in support of the idea.

The lack of agreement on how to address California’s housing problems, including the state government’s responsibility, could help explain why lawmakers recently turned away major housing legislation, DiCamillo said. Last month, legislators shelved Senate Bill 50, which would have boosted building near transit lines and in single-family home neighborhoods. They also blocked and weakened measures that aimed to add protections for renters.

Addressing the housing problem with a specific solution, DiCamillo said, is “the big dilemma for the Legislature. They might not have the public behind them when they do it.”

The survey did find a split among age and demographic groups on whether the state should take a larger role on expediting more housing. Nearly two-thirds of those ages 18 to 29 wanted more state intervention compared with 45% of those 65 and older. Similarly, more than 60% of Latinos, blacks and Asians backed a more expansive state role, compared with 45% of whites.

The online survey of 4,435 California voters took place June 4 to 10 and has an overall margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5%.

One destination continues to bring in tourists from across the UK and the world, as people are charmed by its vintage feel, including its iconic high street which has barely changed in the past 100 years.

As winter starts to bite, one British seaside town is welcoming tourists deciding to avoid the summer crowds. This coastal treasure is famed for its captivating charm and vibrant artistry heritage, all set within stunning natural beauty right on the British coast.

Perched on a peninsula, St Ives in Cornwall features several spectacular beaches, each providing gorgeous panoramic views of the sea.

The town has earned its reputation as an artist hotspot, with creatives coming from far and wide, keen to capture its beauty — all whilst remarkably preserving its character for over 100 years.

Visiting here genuinely feels like stepping back in time, yet it delivers everything expected from a modern seaside getaway.

Cornwall has maintained a special place in British people’s hearts thanks to its dramatic landscape, endless golden sands, secluded coves and rugged cliffs, and St Ives is no exception.

Located north of Penzance on the Celtic Sea coast, the town combines unspoilt natural beauty with numerous attractions.

Visitors can enjoy activities around the town and the surrounding areas, ranging from surfing to coastal walks, alongside one of the country’s most impressive high streets.

St. Ives, with its stunning beaches and quintessential Cornish townscape, is a delight for anyone seeking a springtime stroll.

The town’s iconic high street has recently been praised as one of Britain’s best, thanks to its cobbled lanes, unique boutiques, and charming whitewashed buildings.

The Telegraph, who penned the glowing review, gushed: “Fore Street in St Ives, with its slate-hung shops and independent galleries, has changed little over the last century, offering a perfect mix of local and artistic charm.”

It urged people to come as soon as they can, but gave great recommendations on when to avoid the height of the crowds.

Whilst taking in nature’s fierceness, you can witness the awe-inspiring sight of waves crashing against the rocks below in a truly enthralling moment.

There’s no shortage of things to do in St. Ives either, with a plethora of pubs and restaurants to try out, not to mention a vibrant arts scene featuring numerous studios and galleries.

Art lovers will appreciate the Tate St. Ives gallery, which hosts rotating contemporary art exhibitions, while the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden is a must-see.

“I have never seen such a beautiful place in the UK as St. Ives. Many have said it’s like being abroad and it really is,” gushed one TripAdvisor reviewer.

Another added: “The town was beautiful and really peaceful; we will definitely be back.”

Other reviews were quick to point out the natural beauty of the area and the local transport links to other towns such as Penzance. Some people were even thrilled to see the beauty of the town amidst the dull British weather.

One commentator wrote: “In the afternoon the weather had clouded over and with the grey sky, the bay is even more beautiful. Being an English bay facing the ocean; with the sun — it was breathtaking.”

THERE is nothing better than realising you are cool before it was actually cool, after my old road was named one of the world’s trendiest.

My learning I was a trendsetter comes from the latest revealing of the World’s Coolest Streets by Time Out.

The new Time Out list named the top 31 streets that they deem the coolest in the world.

Taking the top spot was much further afield, with Rio’s Rua do Senado in no.1.

But just squeezing into the top 31 (at no.31) was Northdown Road in Margate.

Calling it the “one-time fashionable hotel quarter,” its credited with making a comeback that is “not unlike a street you’d find in East London“.

GATE ESCAPE

Top features and attractions of Margate town and beach

I left the big city of London during the pandemic to move to the seaside, choosing the town of Margate.

It has since been named one of the UK’s trendiest seaside towns, having seen a surge in popularity with ex-Londoners.

And one of the areas where this was most noticeable was said Northdown Road – a road I lived on.

Part of the Cliftonville area (named a cool neighbourhood back in 2022) the main high street is forever seeing new shops and bars crop up.

While the road is slightly out of the main Old Town which attracts most of the tourists, I rarely ventured into the centre – because I didn’t need to.

One of my favourite stops for coffee was Cliffs, a coffee-co-working-hair-dress-vinyl shop.

I would often grab a flat white in the morning to go, or spend a few hours in the quieter upstairs with a book or my laptop.

New coffee shops are always cropping up too – there is Lowlife, which feels like a grown up teenage boy decorated it with graffiti art, skateboards and oversized tees for sale.

Or there is High Tide, more popular with families thanks to their kid-friendly menu and small play area, and the fun Doubloons for more unusual tasting lattes.

If you want the best pastries, you must go to Batchelor’s Pattisserie – open since 1967, its here you’ll find the best traditional sweet treats

It’s so easy to spend the entire day on Northdown – for dinner there is the Japanese Mori Mori; Picnic Deli, a wine bar that has live music and small menu options, or some casual pizza at Casa.

Even for shopping, you can grab a vinyl at Ghost Papa, or some handmade earrings at Reo Jewels, as well as some amazing vintage interiors at Lost Property and plants at The Potting Shed.

And then into the night, the award-winning wine bar Sete is cosy but friendly, along with the newly opened The Last Light pub.

You’ll always spot a fun crowd outside LGBTQ+ bar CAMP which is a great night out too.

See what I mean? For such a small road that is barely a mile long, it ticks all the boxes.

Of course it isn’t without its problems – while Margate is often named an up-and-coming area, there are still issues with fly tipping and antisocialism.

And with the current climate, many of my favourite spots have already been forced to close in recent years, meaning many businesses struggle to stay open (I’ll forever miss the huge bagels of The Skinny Dip).

It’s also missing any good hotels, despite its claim to once be a hotel quarter.

There are a few good B&B options, including Doghouse Margate and Cliftonville Townhouse.

Instead, a short walk away are some of the more popular in town such as Fort Road Hotel and No.42 Guesthouse (or the Premier Inn by the station if you’re on a budget).

But even the road itself is right by the pretty Old Town as well as Walpole Bay, home to Europe‘s biggest lido.

I can finally say – I knew it all before it was cool.

Published on

The world’s first, largest, and most expensive cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has slid below $92,000 (€79,000) a coin, wiping more than 25% off its value since it hit record highs above $126,000 (€108,700) last month.

The dramatic decline is almost a textbook example of what it looks like to enter a bear market phase. That’s an industry term for when an asset falls so sharply it resembles the downward claw swipe of a bear.

Within the past 24 hours alone, Bitcoin traded as low as $89,471 (€77,210) or almost 30% below its late October peak, with the market recovering slightly in early trading on Tuesday.

“Bitcoin is extending losses, trading at around $90k, shedding around 2%, fuelled by concerns about overvaluations in the tech sector and broader risk-off sentiment that is causing a ripple effect across global markets,” explained Victoria Scholar, head of investment at the Interactive investor.

Despite a blistering rally into early October, all of Bitcoin’s gains this year have been erased and it is now trading below where it started in January.

“Bitcoin has now turned negative for 2025…fears of an AI bubble and concerns about the market’s heavy dependence on a handful of tech giants have caused investors to dial back their exposure to speculative assets such as Bitcoin,” Scholar explained.

The fall comes despite the presence of a crypto-friendly president in the White House, a less enforcement-minded chair at the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a new stablecoin — crypto tied to currency — legislation on the books.

The risks of a decentralised currency

Blockchain currencies such as Bitcoin are built on a digital ledger rather than a physical system tied to a central bank or government, and this ledger records every transaction across a large network of computers. Thousands of these machines or nodes hold copies of the ledger and update it together.

Transactions are grouped into “blocks” — hence “blockchain” — and checked using cryptography before being added to the chain in a permanent, tamper-resistant sequence. This design makes the system transparent and very hard to alter, because changing any record would mean rewriting the entire chain on most of the participating computers.

All of this means that investors who are already on edge due to wider market volatility are quick to dump volatile assets like Bitcoin at the first sign of bad news in order to reduce their exposure.

“There’s a general sense of nervousness that has captured the market mood lately and Bitcoin appears to be in the firing line… riskier non-yielding assets like Bitcoin look less attractive in a higher interest rate environment,” Scholar explained.

Bitcoin’s defenders, such as billionaire investor Michael Saylor, have nonetheless welcomed the drop. Some claim it will flush out wealthy investors who do not understand or appreciate Bitcoin’s culture of long-term commitment and active engagement.

“Volatility is a gift to the faithful. It scares away the tourist, it scares away the lazy, it scares away the people that are already conventionally rich that have all the money,” Saylor said in a statement following the recent numbers.

Saylor and other die-hard Bitcoin believers say that those who are willing to study the market, stay invested through volatility, and participate in the daily ebb and flow of trading should be the ones benefitting the most from it — and not the casual spectators.

Saylor’s Strategy Inc., formerly MicroStrategy, bought 8,178 additional coins of Bitcoin between 10-16 November 2025 at an average price of around $102,171 or €88,000 each, spending roughly $835.6 million (€721.15mn) in total.

Shortly before Monday afternoon’s City Section Division I quarterfinal football game between host Eagle Rock and Dorsey was set to begin in the pouring rain, referee Patrick Riley ruled the middle of the grass field unsafe.

City Section Commissioner Vicky Lagos was in attendance and acted quickly to get the contest, scheduled to begin at 4 p.m., moved to an alternate site, which turned out to be Contreras Learning Complex — seven and a half miles away in downtown Los Angeles. When all was said and done, Dorsey moved on to the semifinals after a dominant 26-0 shutout.

“When the referees ruled the field unplayable we immediately called Sotomayor and Contreras because they have turf fields and are the closest in proximity to Eagle Rock,” Lagos said. “We had to arrange busing and we’re thankful to the officials — it was the same crew that was going to do the game Friday. If we couldn’t find a facility [today] then we would’ve had to play the game tomorrow.”

The game was supposed to be played Friday night along with the full slate of City Section contests, but it was postponed until Monday afternoon after a transformer problem left the school without power.

“We were told at 3:45 that we weren’t going to be able to play,” said Dorsey coach Stafon Johnson, a Dorsey alum who played at USC from 2006-09. My main concern at that point was whichever team wins would have a short turnaround for the next game.”

When the game finally kicked off at 6:45 p.m. the rain was still pouring. Eleventh-seeded Dorsey controlled the tempo from the start, marching 65 yards in five plays on its first possession, which ended on a five-yard run by Mahkai McCluster.

Nathan Schiebler fumbled on the second play of Eagle Rock’s first possession and defensive lineman Draysean Mixson recovered for Dorsey at the Eagles’ 47. Jamell Edmond capped the Dons’ ensuing drive with an 11-yard sweep and Deuce Johnson caught the two-point conversion pass to make it 14-0 late in the first quarter.

“We were ready to get down and dirty in the mud,” Dorsey quarterback Elijah McDaniel said after rushing for 120 yards and engineering all four of his team’s scoring drives. “We wanted to play [at Eagle Rock]. We wanted to play Friday even but the longer we had to wait the more time it gave us to prepare.”

Liam Pasten, one of the best passers in the City, completed only three of seven attempts for 22 yards in the first half and finished seven for 24 for 53 yards. Even as the rain subsided in the second half, the third-seeded Eagles (8-4) could not get their offense on track.

“I had 100% attendance at practice Saturday in the rain,” Johnson said. “This is the first time all year we’ve been fully loaded. This is Jamell’s first game back and he made a significant impact. That team averages over 40 points a game and we give them full credit. We just wanted to play … we didn’t care where it was.”

Edmond finished with 87 yards in 10 carries.

De Anthony Young-Jones scored on a two-yard run to increase the lead to 20-0 late in the third quarter and Jaziel Hernandez-Cruz closed the scoring with a one-yard run with 3:48 left in the fourth quarter. The 11th-seeded Dons (7-5) will be on the road again in the semifinals against No. 2 South Gate, a game that has been pushed back to Saturday.

Eagle Rock players did not get a chance to play one last time at Don Mengel Field. In February, construction is scheduled to begin on the school’s new synthetic turf field, eight-lane rubber track and scoreboard.

When sophomore guard Phoenix Smith came off the bench on Monday night in Crespi’s season opener against Cleveland, two things were clear: His big hair and his 5-foot-7 frame, the smallest on the court.

He played junior varsity last season, and let’s just say Celts coach Derek Fisher is going to have fun working with him. Smith was three for three on three-pointers and finished with 16 points in Crespi’s 81-44 win over Cleveland.

He put together a nine-point surge between the end of the first quarter and the start of the second quarter. Leaving him open this season will not be a good strategy. Another JV player from last season, Cayman Martin, led Crespi in scoring with 17 points. Carter Barnes had 14 points and Isaiah Barnes 13 points.

Crespi has a big game coming up Saturday at Pauley Pavilion against Mater Dei.

St. Bernard 81, Claremont 56: Brandon Granger led St. Bernard with a 30-point performance.

South Pasadena 77, Franklin 43: Nick Rios scored 22 points and Rob Khollesi added 21 points for South Pasadena.

Carson 59, South East 37: The Colts are 2-0 under new coach Corey Kitani. Blake McCall had 16 points and nine rebounds.

Mira Costa 85, Torrance 70: Logan Dugdale finished with 18 points and Paxx Bell had 17 points and 12 rebounds in a first-round game at the Ocean View tournament.

Wiseburn Da Vinci 73, Oak Park 56: Aidan Ebrahimi had 15 points for Wiseburn Da Vinci.

Santa Margarita 89, Temecula Valley 38: Drew Anderson had 30 points and 11 rebounds and Kaiden Bailey added 26 points for the Eagles.

Canyon Country Canyon 65, Antelope Valley 28: Alex Lazo made nine threes and finished with 27 points for the Cowboys.

Servite 100, United Christian Academy 18: Tariq Johnson had 22 points for the Friars.

West Torrance 64, Venice 55: Ben Heinemann finished with 15 points for West Torrance.

Valencia 47, Heritage Christian 44: Ali Eldein led Valencia with 18 points.

Nov. 14 (UPI) — Girls who are high school seniors for the first time are less likely to marry than boys of the same age, according to the Pew Research Center.

The Pew Research Center partnered with the University of Michigan to poll high school seniors in 2023 and on Friday announced that two-thirds said they likely will get married.

Boys, though, were more likely to get married than girls, with 74% of boys saying so versus 61% of girls.

The change represents the first time that more boys than girls looked favorably upon marriage in the future, according to Pew.

In 1993, 81% of girls polled said they wanted to marry in the future, versus 76% of boys affirming so.

A majority of high school seniors polled said they likely will marry and raise children at some time, but the percentages of those saying so declined significantly over three decades.

That percentage is down from 80% in 1993, but the percentages of those who have no idea or do not intend to ever marry have risen.

Among respondents, 24% said they don’t know if they will get married, which is up from 16% 30 years earlier.

Another 9% said they won’t get married, which nearly doubled from 5% three decades ago.

Among those who say they likely will get married, most said they either are very likely, 48%, or fairly likely, 25%, to want to have children when married.

That’s a total of 73% versus 82% in 1993, when 64% said they very likely would want to have children and 18% said they were fairly likely to do so when married.

Of those intending to marry, more than half, 51%, said they very likely would stay married to the same person, and another 30% said they are fairly likely to do so, for a total of 80%.

Those numbers are down from 64% and 18%, respectively, and a cumulative total of 82% in 1993.
