Coastal Conflict, Charter Crisis, and Global Dissonance | San Jose News

Half Moon Bay is facing a legal battle as the state pushes for new housing, sparking fears among locals that traffic and emergency evacuations will become even more dangerous — and that residents won’t find enough jobs to support the influx.

New restrictions limiting foreign students to four years of study are seen as a blow to academic diversity and global talent, especially as international students play a vital role in U.S. higher education.
