ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ The Bay Area housing market changed a lot in 2025 as San Francisco homes heated up with an AI boost while East Bay prices, including Oakland's, dropped nearly 11% because buyers feared layoffs and high costs—real estate agents noted market shifts may ease if mortgage rates drop next year—and many families now find buying a home harder. San Francisco Chronicle
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ The California Department of Education ruled that Oakland Unified created a discriminatory environment for Jewish students and staff—citing delayed responses to complaints and biased instruction—and ordered corrective actions including new training. Attorney Marleen Sacks said many Jewish families have already moved their students to other districts as more complaints remain under review. KTVU
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ On Sunday, an earthquake swarm hit parts of the East Bay as dozens of small temblors along the Calaveras Fault peaked at magnitude 3.8—researchers noted that this fault, part of the San Andreas system, has produced 6.2 quakes in the past and could produce a 6.7 in the future. Experts added that the unique staccato pattern of the events makes it unlikely that the 3.8 quake was a foreshock to a larger tremor. San Francisco Chronicle
