they'll take down empty parts of the mall and mall parking structure. they can move forward with this part because of sb-35, which is a state law enacted last year to streamline the approval process for projects that include affordable housing. under either development plan, enough of the units will be affordable housing to trigger that streamlined approval. both the city's valco specific plan and sand hill property plans will mean 2500 units of housing, 2 million square feet of office space. where they differ is in the benefits to the school districts here and also the requirement for open space and traffic mitigation, among other points. the next planning commission is a week from today. meanwhile, the cupertino group, better cupertino, continues its year's long opposition to valco development and is pushing a referendum. you can find a link to that in my twitter feed and facebook page. that's where you can find the city's explanation of the plan.

level -- it's a very serious situation for us and this white house. >> it could get more serious. "the washington post" reports this morning u.s. intelligence has intercepted messages that show the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed bin salman ordered the hit. that would put the white house and america in general in an enormously awkward situation. saudi arabia is our ally. mohammed bin salman a close friend of jared kushner, in particular. there is talk in congress of sanctions against the saudis for the alleged kidnap and murder, and that would include sanctions against the leader of saudi arabia. president trump held another rally, this time in pennsylvania. headed to ohio tomorrow. pennsylvania and ohio important in the 2020 race. president trump signed bills into law that would allow your farmist to tell you how to save
