The essence of the situation has been the same since the beginning, especially in places like Carmel and Pebble Beach, which were planned and developed to be elite — to cater, as Perry Newberry enthusiastically put it in a November 1931 Pine Cone editorial, to a “certain high type of people.” The ambitions of those early years have been wildly fulfilled, of course. These days, what could be more exclusive, or come at a higher price, than an address on 17 Mile Drive or Scenic Road? And as the uber-wealthy snap up all the homes in the most desirable locations — a trend that’s accelerated during the coronavirus pandemic — the somewhat-less-wealthy have been driving prices in places like Pacific Grove and Monterey to heights that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. Statewide, there’s more and more talk about an affordable-housing crisis, with solutions being discussed that include forcing cities and counties to downzone single-family neighborhoods and eliminate some of the hurdles for building permits. Such drastic steps, if fully implemented here, could mean not only infill development in existing towns but the creation of new subdivisions and even the approval of multistory apartment buildings in places like downtown Carmel and along Carmel Valley Road. Fortunately for us, Sacramento politicians seem more inclined to stimulate development in places like San Jose and the East Bay. Nobody wants to ruin our amazing scenery, and then there’s our water shortage to deal with. Which means that, even if a project like Rancho Cañada Village occa- sionally gets approved, the overall level of development around the Penin- sula is likely to stay about the same, which is wonderful news for people who live here but a disaster for non-rich people who would like to. “Bring your checkbooks, ladies.” And now there’s a whole new element looming over the local housing shortage: Inflation and the higher interest rates it will bring.

According to computerized ratings devised by Max- Preps.com, Stevenson had the fourth-best boys team in the CCS — a section that stretches from San Francisco to King City — and the Pirates’ girls squad was ranked No. 5. The algorithm used by MaxPreps to determine rankings utilizes a huge number of game results to rate every team in the U.S. on the basis of wins, losses and strength of schedule. Factors like prior-season history, school size, and human judgment have no impact. When the numbers were crunched, only St. Ignatius of San Francisco (16-0), Sacred Heart Prep of Atherton (14-4), and Los Gatos (14-1) fared better than Stevenson’s boys (10-1). And in the girls rankings, the Pirates (8-0) trailed only St. Ignatius (11-2), Sacred Heart Prep (10-3), Archbishop Mitty (6-3) of San Jose, and St. Francis of Mountain View (9-3).

Q Vote for your favorite market The American Farmland Trust and the Farmers Market Coalition are collaborating on this year’s America’s Farm- ers Market Celebration and are asking people all over the country to vote for their favorite farmers markets. From June 21 to Sept. 19, the campaign showcases how markets help farmers, ranchers and communities all over the country, and shoppers and supporters can vote for their favorites at markets.farmland.org. In addition to recognizing the top markets in each region, the organizations will offer cash prizes — $2,500 for first, $1,500 for second and $1,000 for third — to the top three finishers in the “People’s Choice” category. The cash can be used for marketing, communications and other ways to expand their reach and impact. “As we head into the second summer of the coronavirus pandemic, the role of farmers markets as both a vital ven- ue for farmers to sell their goods and consumers to access local, healthy food is being recognized like never before,” organizers said. “If the last year has taught us anything, it is that farmers markets are not a luxury to communities. They are essential businesses that provide a vital service and should be celebrated.” The markets also connect consumers with the people who grow their food, and “as eaters, the most important tool we have at our disposal to keep farmers and ranchers in business is our fork,” they said. American Farmland Trust is the only national conservation organization dedicated to protecting farmland, promoting environmentally sound farming practices and keeping farmers on their land. Since 1980, it has helped permanently protect more than 6.8 million acres of farmland and ranchland, and has facilitated the adoption of conservation practices on millions of acres more.
