Wow, new, affordable housing in the heart of Rancho Biz District?
Yee Haw! Affordable housing, right where it's needed? 9.5 units per acre (can you say RD-10)And the city fast tracked it? The Sacramento Biz Journal article quoted below is about the Capital Center development called Capital Villages (see earlier Bee Article or Grapevine article for more details, or city's docs)
Check this out.....
The project, approved by the City Council on Monday, is classic smart-growth infill. Designed by Jeff Demure & Associates, it plans 827 homes on 87 acres, or 9.5 per acre -- roughly double the local norm.
The rest of the land was approved for office and retail, including a "lifestyle center" that blends with the community and creates a place to hang out as much as shop.
The main street is bordered by 40-foot strips that include 10-foot sidewalks set back 8 feet from the street and 15 feet from the property lines, Van Maren said.
O'Neill estimated that the average price would be about $350,000 per home, about 25 percent below the current regional average of $472,000. House prices should start in the mid-200,000s, with a few large-lot units selling above $400,000, he said.
The housing will include townhomes, live-work units and detached homes.
I dunno........They can't be that reasonable. They'll sell 50 units, then jack the price up, unless...the market slows (which I pray for).

"I'm running a business, and I'm trying to get the best business deal I can,"
Jesus Christ (and I say that on Easter Sunday)! The City of Rancho Cordova needs to hire a public relations consultant.
Read this sweet delivery from our City Manager (and remember, he's a city manager, not a convenience store owner doing an ad for Sam's Club)
Rancho Cordova officials are watching the other two cities closely. For Rancho Cordova, the issue likely will come down to dollars and cents, said City Manager Ted Gaebler. "I'm running a business, and I'm trying to get the best business deal I can," Gaebler said.I have more to say on this later. I'm not going to ruin my Easter contemplating our public safety in Rancho boiling down to "the best business deal" City Manager Gaebler can get. It's ironic, if the last contract is any measure of Gaebler's deal making prowess, well, I'll wait until after Easter to say un-christian things. Was this one of his one liners from "Reinventing Government"?

Knoppix + Old PC = Digital Jukebox
O'Reilly: Resurrect Your Old PC for Music—with Linux
This is a pretty decent breakdown on how to save an old PII/III or AMD K6-2/3 for use as a jukebox using Knoppix. The 2 page article is "chock full" of pretty little screenshots, linked term defintions and corollary instructions to configure Knoppix and the apps you need to use. It doesn't get easier than this.
Are you the kind of person who can't toss out old gear? I know I am--though I must admit that embracing the art of junk-collecting has come in hand from time to time. For instance, this article will show you how to resurrect a tired old PC by installing a modern operating system, and then revitalize the computer as an internet-enabled CD player, DVD burner, and MP3 jukebox.

Fedora coming on strong
Netcraft: Fedora makes rapid progress
Fedora makes rapid progress-Netcraft News
March 14, 2005
Fedora, the community-driven Linux distribution started by RedHat, is the fastest growing Linux distribution in the web server survey. Based on distribution names contained in the server banner, Fedora has outpaced all its rivals over the last six months, growing fastest both in absolute numbers and in relative terms.
RedHat's strategy of reserving the RedHat brand for its commercial offerings, while using community-driven development in Fedora to try new features, seems to be working well. RedHat seems to have the best of both worlds at the moment: market-leading status for RedHat Linux, plus the fastest growing community distribution in Fedora. While share for RedHat itself is falling, taken together with Fedora its share is around 50% and rising slightly.
Among the other distributions, Debian has the fastest growth in absolute terms, and is secure for now in second place. But some of the smaller distributions are growing faster relative to their existing user base. Gentoo continues to roughly double each year, albeit from a low base. Mandrake's recent acquisition of Conectiva will boost it only slightly, as there are only a few thousand Conectiva sites in the survey; Mandrake's own growth is more significant.

Rancho one step closer to $7M fed funding for Folsom Blvd.
House Approves $284 Bln Highway Bill
Thu Mar 10, 2005 04:23 PM ET
(Reuters)By John Crawley
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=politicsNews&storyID=7869957
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives approved a $284 billion, six-year highway and transit construction bill on Thursday, advancing a measure that eluded final passage last year in a fight with the White House over budget deficits.
The legislation matches the spending demands outlined in the Bush administration's 2006 budget and the cost of a similar version making its way through the Senate.
Many lawmakers in both houses would eventually like to see more money committed to road, tunnel and bridge improvements. The House bill includes a provision that would let Congress revise spending in the future.
But White House budget advisers told lawmakers this week they would recommend President Bush veto any bill that exceeds his $284 billion limit. A similar threat last year helped scuttle highway legislation.
The landmark highway bill includes $225.5 billion for highway construction, $52.3 billion for transit and $3.2 billion for safety.
Rep. Don Young, an Alaska Republican and chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said the cash flow is "not what we wanted" and promised to push for more money as early as next year.
"There have been lots of cooks in this kitchen and we've been able to come out with a good product. We'll go to the Senate and we'll have this bill done before the first of June," Young said.
Highway spending is funded by taxes on gasoline bought by motorists. Efforts to modestly increase the gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon have been fiercely resisted in Congress even as lawmakers agree that the nation's aging infrastructure needs urgent repairs.
Lawmakers covet the economic stimulus provided by the transportation bill. It is estimated that for every $1 billion invested in highway and transit, 47,500 jobs are created or sustained.
"This will be the signature domestic legislation of this Congress in terms of the impact on the public," said Rep. Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat.
Despite passage, some lawmakers remain dissatisfied with the formula for allocating highway grants. States that turn over more in gas tax receipts than they get back in highway aid have clamored for more money.
Under the new bill, California would receive $19 billion over six years, Texas, $16.6 billion, Pennsylvania, $10 billion and Florida $9.9 billion.
Others lawmakers have chafed at the 3,300 mandatory spending requirements, which include pet projects with thin if any link to transportation -- like museum renovation in Ohio and the restoration of a historic home in Virginia.
The last highway bill expired in 2003 and temporary funding at that year's levels has been extended through May. Provisions in this highway bill run through 2009.

2 socal city council members get burned backing Walmart
2005 ELECTIONS -LA Times
Wal-Mart Foes Claim Win in Rosemead
Voters oust two council members who backed chain, which still plans to build a store there.
By Jason Felch - LA Times Staff Writer
March 10, 2005
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-walmart10mar10,1,4784178.story
Excerpt:
Wal-Mart's efforts to build Supercenters in Los Angeles County suffered a setback this week when voters in Rosemead ousted two council members who supported the project in that community and replaced them with two critics.
Although the results were unlikely to halt construction of the store, experts said it demonstrated the aggressive efforts of labor unions and community groups to challenge Wal-Mart at every turn as the retail giant attempts to expand across California.
The election in the small bedroom community 12 miles east of downtown Los Angeles was widely seen as a key battle in Wal-Mart's efforts to expand in Southern California. Wal-Mart wants to build 40 Supercenters, which combine a regular Wal-Mart store with a discount grocery market, in the state.
Wal-Mart's Supercenters have received a largely warm welcome in outlying communities in the Inland Empire. But unions, some politicians and some neighborhood activists have vigorously fought to keep them out of Los Angeles County.
"Its been slowed to the pace of a snail because they've run into all this opposition," said Jack Kyser, chief economist for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp., a nonprofit that has done regional economic studies for Wal-Mart. "It's working, but Wal-Mart is fighting back. It's too rich a market to walk away from."
The Rosemead City Council voted last year to allow Wal-Mart to build a store in the city. Though two anti-Wal-Mart council members were elected Tuesday, a majority on the council is still in favor of the development.

Diana Lambert: New Web site's creator wants to keep low, roaming profile
By Diana Lambert -- Bee Columnist

Man behind the curtain: There's a new Web site in town. The Elk Grove Insider at www.elkgroveinsider.com made its debut Jan. 1 with little fanfare. The low-key launch was intentional. Elliot Mulberg would just as soon no one know he is the man behind the site. "Mostly because of my position in the community and the politics that are going on," said Elliot, a director on both the Elk Grove Community Services District and LAFCO boards. "I don't want them to think this is a position of the CSD or LAFCO." A community services district suit against the city, as well as Elliot's previous opposition to approving city incorporation documents as a LAFCO member, may be why he feels that way. So far, the site doesn't appear to be anti-city, balancing an article by activist Sarah Johnson that questions the city's lack of interest in the Sacramento Blueprint Project with an article by regular commuter Ray Asregadoo about improvements to the city's new transportation system, among others. Elliot plans to invite four to five authors to submit articles each month. There is no editing, and Elliot keeps his distance with a disclaimer at the bottom of the page

A shared speed monitoring trailer(s) for Folsom, Sac County and Rancho Cordova?
After contributing my .02 to the "Why not ride a bike to work?" discussion on www.50corridor.com, I began to think about how I might address the driving behavior in south Rancho. I do enjoy riding, and the distance is reasonable, just not the "San Andreas" tactics of some of the younger, more "stimulated" members of the driving public.
About the same time as I was pondering this, the City of Rancho Cordova City Council received a memo from the city's Police Dept. concerning the CITIZENS’ OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY (COPS)
2004/2005 ALLOCATION and recommended expenditures for the city's $100,000 share. I checked out how Elk Grove, Citrus Heights and Folsom spent their funds, and it seemed reasonable to consider a speed trailer. The council has already approved the shopping list submitted by the RCPD, but one item I'd thought should be considered for the future was a speed monitoring trailer with radar.
I'd also thought that if the cities of Rancho Cordova, Folsom and the County of Sacramento pooled their resources, they could jointly purchase a couple of these trailers, and share them, reducing the cost to each government. The trailers could rotate through each jurisdiction ( Folsom, the uninc'd communities east of Watt-Gold River and Rancho Cordova) and be deployed on streets with speeding problems, especially on streets near job centers, where commuters using alternate modes to travel to work (bicycles) and pedestrians are present, either crossing streets after arriving by transit, or walking to nearby dining/shopping sites.
Is this something the Rancho Cordova city council would look into supporting and endorsing with the City of Folsom and the County?

NYC vs Walmart: Prologue
Wal-Mart's next battle: in the Big Apple | csmonitor.com
Wal-Mart's next battle: in the Big Apple
A proposal for a store in Queens could produce the biggest showdown yet with the megastore's opponents.
By Alexandra Marks | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
[UPDATE: Since this story was written, developers have dropped plans to build a Wal-Mart at the proposed Queens site. But Wal-Mart says it still would like to open a store in New York City and will continue looking for a new site.]
NEW YORK – Wal-Mart, once no more than a rural dime store, is now hoping to cap its global retail empire by taking on the nation's largest untapped metropolis: New York City.While no formal agreements yet exist, word that the controversial low-cost retailer is eyeing a site in Queens has already generated such a backlash that some analysts say the fight for approval in Rego Park will be the largest and most symbolic showdown yet between the megastore and its union opponents.
"If there ever was a part of the country where people wouldn't tolerate [Wal-Mart,] it would be a city like New York where there's a strong labor movement," says Kate Bronfenbrenner, a labor economist at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. "People there fight back when they smell a labor rat."The battle for the Big Apple will also prove to be a test case for one of several new tactics that opponents are employing from here to Montana to hold big-box employers like Wal-Mart accountable to the community. They include requiring companies to provide health insurance, as in a proposal in New York; establishing so-called living wage laws, which is under consideration in Chicago; and limiting the size of such stores, which some communities are attempting to do in Vermont.
"A second-generation response to the big-box sector has emerged over the last year or so," says Paul Sonn, associate counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law. "The aim is to level the playing field so that if Wal-Mart does come to New York, it will provide the same benefits that other responsible retail employers like the supermarkets are paying."
Wal-Mart and its supporters say the retailer already offers good benefits, paying almost double the minimum wage and providing some health and dental insurance, as well as a 401(k) retirement plan to eligible employees.
They believe the unions have targeted the company because it is now the country's largest employer with 1.2 million workers. And it's proudly nonunion, which they say allows it to offer bargains, helping families and communities by saving them money - at the same time that the stores increase the tax base.
"What's at issue here is not whether a particular union has been able to organize or collect dues from our workforce," says Daphne Moore, director of community affairs for Wal-Mart in Bentonville, Ark. "It's whether consumers have a choice of where they shop."
But opponents argue that Wal-Mart's wages are lower than those of other retailers such as department stores and supermarkets. And they contend that its controversial labor practices, from alleged violations of child-labor laws to lower wages to minimal health insurance, actually cost communities money.
Studies have shown that Wal-Mart employees are more likely than other retail workers to end up on food stamps and Medicaid and their children in state-sponsored health-insurance programs. Plus, they argue, Wal-Mart drives out other retailers and replaces good jobs with lower-paid ones, undermining the very fabric of the American middle class that the company purports to serve.
"As Wal-Mart goes into larger urban areas, the opposition has been much stronger than in rural areas because they're more directly competing against unionized grocers and larger numbers of successful small businesses," says Ken Jacobs of the University of California at the Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education.
In New York, the powerful Central Labor Council, which represents more than 400 unions across the trades, has already made it clear it opposes Wal-Mart's arrival. President Brian McLaughlin says a Wal-Mart in Queens "will prove to be an economic disaster for our entire city."
He has lots of support from the nonunion sector as well. Small retailers in Rego Park like Sayed Afaq, who owns B&R Photo, Electronic and Wireless, are worried that the arrival of the megastore will be the "final nail in the coffin" for his shop. His business was already cut in half by the development of a mall across the street two years ago.
"Everybody knows Wal-Mart is the biggest company in the world, and we obviously can't compete with them in terms of prices," says Mr. Afaq. "We've already reduced our prices, but the rents are going higher. I fairly believe that if Wal-Mart is here, we will definitely be going out of business sooner rather than later because we are just surviving now."
Wal-Mart's city supporters argue that New York doesn't have the same level of retail jobs as its surrounding communities, in part because zoning restrictions make it difficult to develop here. Thus, its retail tax base isn't as hardy as in other places, and Wal-Mart will help expand it. While supporters admit some smaller retailers may go out of business, they don't believe that would be too much of a loss to the city overall.
"In New York City, we're talking about bodegas and greengrocers," says Steven Malanga, a senior fellow with the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank. "Not only do they overcharge consumers, they also don't offer any benefits for the people that work there."
Wal-Mart also contends that it already has plenty of customers in New York. They just travel elsewhere to shop. While the company doesn't have exact numbers, they include people like Queens resident Maria Torres and her family. They drive regularly to a Wal-Mart in New Jersey to take advantage of the savings and would love to be saved the trip.
"We buy there a lot," says Mrs. Torres. "It would be important to have one here."
But other Queens residents are skeptical. Take Maria Garcia, who hasn't yet decided whether she's in favor of the proposed Wal-Mart. "I like it very much because of the low prices," she says. "But I don't like it because [they make] too much overseas. We have lots of people here who need a job who may lose one."

NYC vs Walmart: Round 1
The New York Times > Developer Drops Plan for NY City's first Walmart
Developer Drops Plan for City's First Wal-Mart
By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
New York Times
Published: February 24, 2005
Facing intense opposition, a large real estate developer has dropped its plans to include a Wal-Mart store in a Queens shopping complex, thwarting Wal-Mart's plan to open its first store in New York City, city officials and real estate executives said yesterday.The decision by the developer, Vornado Realty Trust, is a blow to Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, and comes after company officials said that New York City was an important new frontier in which Wal-Mart was eager to expand.
A Wal-Mart spokeswoman said the company was still exploring other sites in the city, but the possibility that the company would open a 132,000-square-foot store in Queens had immediately stirred a storm of opposition by neighborhood, labor and environmental groups as well as small businesses. Wal-Mart also faced opposition from many City Council members and several members of Congress.
Labor unions fought Wal-Mart with a special intensity because they believe its wage levels and benefits are pulling down standards for workers through the United States.Melinda Katz, chairwoman of the Council's Land Use Committee, said a Vornado representative informed her yesterday that Vornado was no longer negotiating with Wal-Mart for it to be part of the mall planned for Rego Park, Queens, in 2008.
"I think they just decided it's not worth the complications of having Wal-Mart," Ms. Katz said. "The idea of Wal-Mart was overshadowing what could very well be a good project."
Roanne Kulakoff, a Vornado spokeswoman, declined to comment, except to say there was never a formal deal between Vornado and Wal-Mart. But one executive briefed on the talks between Vornado and Wal-Mart said Vornado had concluded that keeping Wal-Mart would jeopardize the city's approval of a large, ambitious project that included other stores and two 25-story apartment towers.
"There were people who felt it was a major risk for the project," said the executive, who asked not to be identified in order not to anger either side.
The executive said Vornado had originally hoped that city planning officials would approve the Rego Park project before it before it became publicly known that Wal-Mart was involved. But once Wal-Mart's participation became public, the opposition mushroomed, and the fight was shaping up to be the biggest battle against a single store in the city's history.
Small-business advocates declared victory after the decision was made public, but predicted that the battle would resume in other neighborhoods. "Vornado saw the writing on the wall and responded the way a developer needs to when he knows he's holding a losing hand," said Richard Lipsky, a spokesman for the Neighborhood Retail Alliance, an anti-Wal-Mart coalition in New York. "We stopped Wal-Mart this time, but they are going to continue their efforts to open in New York and we will be sure to meet that with significant opposition wherever else they try to locate."
Mia Masten, Wal-Mart's director of corporate affairs for the Eastern region, sought to play down yesterday's developments. She noted that Vornado and Wal-Mart had never signed a formal deal to include Wal-Mart in the complex, planned to be built near the intersection of Queens Boulevard and the Long Island Expressway. Nonetheless, city planning officials and City Council members said Vornado had told them that it wanted to include Wal-Mart.
"We never had a deal," Ms. Masten said, adding that Wal-Mart remains interested in opening stores in New York City. "In fact, we continue to explore a number of possible sites throughout the five boroughs," she said. "Until we have an executed agreement for a specific site, we will not comment on any ongoing negotiations."
Ms. Masten declined to say whether Vornado had dropped Wal-Mart from the project or whether Wal-Mart had pulled out voluntarily. Wal-Mart's opponents said that Vornado might have been swayed in part by a unanimous vote of the City Council's Land Use Committee two weeks ago to block a B.J.'s Wholesale Club in the Bronx. In the face of intense lobbying by environmental, community and labor groups, the committee overruled the local planning board and the borough president.
Several shoppers interviewed yesterday in Rego Park said they were disappointed that a Wal-Mart would not be coming to the neighborhood, noting that many Queens residents now travel to Long Island to take advantage of the store's low prices.
"It would've been good if we had a Wal-Mart nearby because then we wouldn't have to travel outside the area," said Rolando Sands, 21, a soft drink deliverer from Jamaica, Queens. "We'd be able to keep the money in the Queens community instead of Long Island."
Corinth King, 45, a traffic enforcement agent from Rego Park, said she had been looking forward to the store's variety. "They have a lot of good sales," she said. "I like it for things for the bathroom and the kitchen. They have a wide variety. I'm going to miss it."
But shoppers did not form an organized group to support Wal-Mart.
Helen Sears, the City Council member representing Rego Park, had warned Wal-Mart, which has several stores in the suburbs surrounding the city, that to win approval in the city itself, it needed to improve its wages, health benefits and pensions and end its vehement stance against unions.
"I am hopeful that if Wal-Mart attempts to locate another site, whether in Queens or Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan or Staten Island, that its officials work tirelessly to improve workplace benefits and conditions so that New York City will welcome it with open arms," Ms. Sears said. "Until then, we can only offer our backs."
Small-business owners had voiced fears that opening a Wal-Mart in Queens would push hardware stores, shoe stores and many clothing shops out of business, as has been the case in many small towns where Wal-Mart is dominant. Company officials said the store would bring low prices to New Yorkers and would create more than 300 jobs.
City Hall officials declined yesterday to discuss the Wal-Mart matter. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg appeared at first to back the project, saying that it was wrong to simply say that warehouse-type stores should not be allowed in the city. But his aides later said that it was not at all clear that he would ultimately support the project.
Charles V. Bagli and Colin Moynihan contributed reporting for this article.
