Let me amend that. It looks like 1709 was vetoed.

But AB 811 passed and signed:

“Virtual” Mello-Roos Districts for financing solar:

I don’t think I’ve seen this mentioned yet on this thread. From what I understand, AB 1709 allows for the creation of virtual Mello-Roos districts for financing solar. The idea is to use the preferred financing rates that cities and counties can command (perhaps used to command?) to finance solar installations on participating homes and then have a 20 year assessment against that home until paid in full. In theory, this provides lower rates and also automatically transfers the financing of the solar to a future owner should the current owner sell before the installation is paid off.

I’m very interested in solar on my house some day, and I do find this idea interesting.

Here’s a North County Times article on the subject from last January. Not sure if anything has come of this in San Diego or not…

Cricket:

I’d point out that some of those hyper-specific job postings are likely designed to meet the minimum advertising requirements for H-1B visas (so that the company can higher the “only” person that fits the bill, on an H-1B). Not passing judgment on that, but it certainly happens, and companies that specialize in H-1B compliance will help do it.

Also in that vein, it may be internal rehiring / re-shuffling requirements for various public (and some private) bureaucratic hiring policies.

FLU:

Is 100K it? Or is there equity too? Phone apps currently seem to be “the future”, but I’m not sure 100K would entice me (new jobs are risky for both employer and employee; in this economy, if it ain’t broke…). But I’ve been lurking here for a long time, and over the last couple years your side project has piqued my curiosity.
