Prop K, which will close a two-mile stretch of the Great Highway, officially passed yesterday with a 54% majority. Despite this, voters in the Sunset District, who are closest to the closure, overwhelmingly rejected the measure by voting upwards of 70% against it. This indicates a significant disconnect between city-wide approval and local disapproval, raising questions about the decision-making processes involved in such urban closures.
In a bankruptcy filing, the Diocese of Oakland has proposed the creation of a trust fund worth at least $117 million to settle hundreds of lawsuits alleging sexual abuse by its priests over decades. Attorneys representing the victims criticized the proposal, arguing that it fails to fully acknowledge the church's assets and lacks an immediate commitment to fund the trust, leaving victims feeling undervalued and overlooked.
