i think we mirror a lot of southern california. we are becoming a cancer community now, suburbanization is getting way more to urban land uses as the population continues to grow so when we look out downtown, we're seeing a lot more loft and apartment developments coming in. multi story things which you would not have seen here very regularly back in the day, so we're seeing a lot of that. there's a younger population coming into. apparently we are one of the big attractions for the millennial crowd out here . so we're getting a lot more land-use and businesses that cater to that demographic to, but we're seeing more urban land uses come into even a suburban setting. >> i hope you walk away with a sense of what it was like and what the people were like who came out here when this was pretty much a barren plane as was described then and were able to set up a town, set up other towns, build a railroad to bring people out here and what they had to do to do that. we think people back then were tougher and in a lot of ways, they were. t

a lot of the california border actually has fencing on it. so the key here is, what we have been trying to do in congress and with the president has been trying to do, i think a very logical solution which is, let's take the areas that we have some fencing which isn't quite working, let's build a wall, one that actually works, and those populated areas and let's make sure we get those secure, first. and those other areas you may not need a wall or fencing. at the same time the president was very reasonable and was able to solve the daca problem. we had a vote in congress where republicans voted to build a wall and reform daca, take care of the kids through no part of their own. we didn't get one democratic vote. every democrat in the state of california voted against this law. those are for the young people who live here that would have been made legal, but for some reason, people here in california and i think all over the country don't realize, a sensible solution was put on the table. border security put in for daca, a permit system for pe

natsot ( james ) the california public ultilties commission is floating the idea .... of charging a new tax on cell phone texting. kron's gabe slate explains what these new taxes would aim to do, if passed. currently, some wireless carriers assess surcharges, or taxes, for texting, while others do not. the california public utilities commission said the industry filed a petition asking them to clarify whether text messaging should be included in the bill amount that is subject to the existing surcharges. the pending draft proposal that the cpuc will vote on january 10th, recommends that the cpuc include text messaging revenue as part of the total bill amount subject to surcharge. cpuc uses a portion of cell phone bill surcharges, or taxes, to fund their public programs like 911 service; subsidies on phone bills lowering rates for low income consumers; and providing special phone equipment for the hard-of-hearing, and deaf and disabled. the cpuc says it's unclear how a new tax on texting in california will affect consumers, they said it's possible phone users will not s
