Measure W, also known as the Nevada City Historic Neighborhoods District Initiative, is a voter initiative on the November 8th ballots for Nevada City residents. The initiative would adopt an ordinance that amends the City's General Plan and Municipal Code to designate a portion of the City as an Historical Neighborhood District or HND. This means that more land, specifically residential neighborhoods, would be within HND territory and require an architectural review permit to be altered or removed. The residential neighborhoods that Measure W would identify as within HND territory would be exempt from California's SB9 and would potentially restrict, or narrowly prohibit, housing developers from building new homes in any areas contained by the HND. The boundaries of the HND can generally be described as residential neighborhoods surrounding downtown Nevada City. KVMR Intern News Producer Julia Gem spoke to two Nevada County residents with drastically different views of the initiative.

Forget writing that business plan. Design an experiment instead. So many products and companies fail because the assumptions in their beautiful business plans were just wrong. So stop writing and start testing. No one knows this better than Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup and founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange. After his first product failed, he developed a new method of product design based on running small, fast experiments, measuring the results, and learning from them. It’s a system built on data, not assumptions, and it works with almost everything, from app development to airplane design. It starts with establishing your own measure of success — then experimenting, improving, and trying over and over again. The feedback loop never stops.Learn more about the Long Term Stock Exchange: ltse.comLearn more about The Lean Startup: leanstartup.coRead Eric’s blog, Startup Lessons Learned: startuplessonslearned.comListen to Eric’s new podcast, Out of the Crisis, on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/out-of-the-crisis/id1505392824Read a transcript of the episode: https://mastersofscale.com/eric-ries/Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: http://eepurl.com/dlirtX

If you haven't voted yet, be sure to check out this week's edition of SGV Connect. Our usual co-hosts, Damien and Kris, are joined by Joe Linton and Estuardo Mazariegos to discuss Measure W and ballot Propositions 6 and 10. Proposition 6 would repeal a portion of the gas tax passed a couple of years ago. The tax mostly funds repairs to the state's transportation infrastructure, with a portion going to transit operations as well. Streetsblog LA urges voters to oppose the proposition and support transportation funding. Measure W is a parcel tax that would raise $300 million for projects to detain and clean runoff water; projects would emphasize green, nature-based, multi-benefit projects. Full disclosure, Streetsblog LA is urging voters to Vote Yes on W. Proposition 10 revokes the "Costa Hawkins" Act which restricts municipalities' ability to impose rent control regulations. Streetsblog has no official position on this, although as you can tell from the interview, much of our staff support the proposition. If you didn't apply for a "vote by mail" ballot, Kris discusses some of the ways that agencies and businesses are providing free trips on election day, from ride-share companies to L.A. Metro. SGV Connect is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.

Oakland sure has a lot of vacant properties, despite being in the middle of a housing crisis. In November, voters will decide whether the city should tax owners of those properties to help raise millions of dollars for homeless services. But how Measure W defines what 'vacant' means isn’t exactly clear. Guest: Farida Jhabvala Romero, KQED race and equity reporter

Measure W is a vacant property tax in Oakland, aimed at reducing homelessness and illegal dumping.

In the upcoming November election San Mateo County will consider a half-cent transportation sales tax, also known as Measure W.
