On Monday, a group of state and local dignitaries gathered in Hayward on a patch of dirt wedged between a taqueria, a church and a bus stop to celebrate a new affordable housing development for seniors.But amid the upbeat small talk, table of hors d’oeuvres and soft, beachy licks of a solo guitarist, there was something else—a collective sigh of relief.“This project could have died,” said Sasha Kergan, the deputy secretary of housing and consumer relations at the Business Consumer Services and Housing Agency. “It’s that bit of hope that we need.”To Hayward Mayor Mark Salinas, the Mission Paradise project that will be completed by 2025 establishes Hayward as a leader in affordable housing for the region.“We’re leading the East Bay in providing housing for all income levels,” Salinas said. “I’d put us up against anybody.”The development will accommodate several underserved communities, with units earmarked for everything from low-income seniors to formerly homeless households to...

So we hit first and see the refs react,” Garland said. “Instead of being punched in the face and just laying down to it. I think that’s the mentality we have to have. Go punch first and see what the refs do, see if they blow the whistle or not. Just set the tone for the game with it.”In the process of falling in Game 1 Saturday, 101-97, the Cavs lost all the intangible battles: points off turnovers, rebounding, fastbreak points, second-chance points, etc.It was a physically dominating performance from New York, especially down the stretch as it grabbed every important loose ball.The experience was eye-opening for Garland, who, like many of the Cavs, was making his first postseason appearance.“The physicality was definitely the d...
