When I put into my trusty spreadsheet new population counts from the state’s Department of Finance, I found the region’s seven Southern California counties (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Imperial and Ventura) added just 48,405 residents in the year ended in July. This slim 0.2% growth brought the total population to 22.3 million, or a million or so more than the entire state of Florida — the nation’s third-most-populous state. How small is this increase?

The number of new shrank California residents dropped to an 80-year low. Big turnabout leaves plenty for California to fix Why has population growth has stalled? Well, the high cost of California living, especially in coastal communities, makes it a tough place in which to stay or move to if you don’t have a fat paycheck. Plus, tough talk on immigration has lowered the region’s appeal to foreigners. Also, as the state and nation age, births drop and deaths rise. Now, some folks may cheer slower growth. Yes, the cooling does lower certain strains on infrastructure, from roads to housing to schools. And various forms of congestion may ease. But the same stagnation also can hurt local businesses, making it tougher for bosses to find workers and customers. Property owners may see lower values for their properties. And taxpayers, please note: Slow growth means fewer new folks to help share the burden of government’s costs. Are you a real estate fan?

  • Mandatory Moratorium on Non-Renewals After Recent Wildfire Activity
    RICARDO LARA CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER BULLETIN PURSUANT TO INSURANCE CODE SECTION 675.1(b) AMENDED* TO: All Admitted and Non-Admitted1 Insurers Writing Residential Property Insurance in California FROM: Commissioner Ricardo Lara DATE: December 18, 2019 RE: Mandatory Moratorium on Non-Renewals After Recent Wildfire Activity *This bulletin supplements the bulletin of the same title issued on December 5, 2019 to provide additional information regarding ZIP Codes within or adjacent to the fire perimeters for the fires identified in the Governor’s various Emergency Declarations discussed herein. Recent insurer actions in California have created considerable disruption for California’s residents; particularly those who live in or near regions of the state potentially threatened by wildfires. The Commissioner continues to receive information from Californians who have struggled to obtain residential property insurance coverage in the voluntary market. In August of this year, the Department of Insurance published data, which shows an increasing trend of non-renewals for people at risk of wildfires.2 California’s property insurers are retreating from areas they identify as having higher wildfire risk. In many communities across the state, finding affordable comprehensive fire insurance has become difficult. So difficult that real estate transactions have stalled or been cancelled. If this trend is allowed to continue, it could further disrupt local real estate markets and cause property values to decline, reducing tax revenue available for vital services to residents such as fire protection, community fire mitigation, law enforcement, road repairs, and hospitals in these communities. Commissioner Lara has met with many of these affected communities and policyholders over the last year who are facing non-renewals and rising premiums.

    • SECTION 11 Santa Ana Region 2019-2020 Monitoring Annual Report P8/235139 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK SANTA ANA REGION 2019-2020 Monitoring Annual Report Executive Summary Strawberry Creek SMC Bioassessment Trend Site Monitoring was conducted by the Riverside County Watershed Protection Program during the 2019-2020 monitoring year to address the objectives of the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) of the 2010 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. This report presents the results of this ninth year of monitoring under the MRP of the 2010 MS4 Permit. The MRP is limited to the area of Riverside County under Permittee jurisdiction within the Santa Ana River Watershed, referred to throughout this report as the Santa Ana Region or SAR. The climate of the SAR is SAR Boundary and Monitoring Sites Mediterranean, characterized by warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. Annual precipitation ranges from less than 10 inches in the alluvial valleys to over 36 inches in the mountains. In general, shading from the coastal western boundary of the Santa Ana Mountains translates to very little precipitation throughout valley areas of the inland SAR. Under natural conditions, the majority of streams in the SAR are ephemeral, meaning they are dry and only flowing during and immediately after rain. PERMITTEES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - SANTA ANA REGION MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 YEAR 1 MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT Monitoring and Assessment Requirements During the 2019-2020 monitoring year, the SAR Monitoring Program was implemented in accordance with the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit. All wet and dry weather monitoring components of the MS4 outfall monitoring program, receiving water monitoring program, and bioassessment monitoring (through participation in the Southern California Stormwater Monitoring Coalition [SMC] regional monitoring program) were completed.

    Scott McLean: From the CAL FIRE Information Center, I’m Scott McLean with the CAL FIRE Report for Monday, September 9, 2019. Last week, fire activity kicked into high gear starting with another round of dry lightning across much of the north early in the week, and continuing into the weekend with some high winds and very low humidity. In all, 361 new wildfires sparked in the last week in California, of which 239 were in CAL FIRE’s jurisdiction. You can see that our yearly acreage stats took a significant jump as well, with 47,847 acres now burned across CAL FIRE’s jurisdiction this year, for a grand total of 128,750 acres across all jurisdictions. Switching over to our statewide fire map, you can see that as of today, firefighters are currently battling 18 significant wildfires from San Diego County all the way north to Siskiyou County. A good portion of those were sparked by that lightning that I mentioned earlier, especially those up north and in the higher elevations. Let’s zoom in for a closer look at a few of the larger significant fires. We’ll start in Tehama County with the Red Bank Fire. That fire started on Thursday afternoon in a very remote location West of Red Bluff, making firefighter access very difficult. With more on the Red Bank Fire, Deputy Ops Chief Jarrod Clinkenbeard prepared this video with the latest. Jarrod Clinkenbeard: Hello, I’m Jarrod Clinkenbeard, Deputy Operations, CAL FIRE Incident Management Team 5. Today’s situational update for the Red Bank Incident for Monday, November 9.
