SAN FRANCISCO -- Soaring gas prices are taking a toll on families with critically sick children, who are traveling to and from Bay Area hospitals.
Davy, the youngest of four sons was born with a condition requiring life-saving surgery to allow him to breathe. "My husband does come back and forth when he can. It is hard due to the gas prices," she said, adding a round trip is now costing the family more than $300.
$300 in gas per trip divided by $5.50/gallon gets us 54.54 gallons of gas per trip. Tulare to UCSF is 235 miles, so it’s a 470 mile round trip. 470 miles / 54.54 gallons = 8.62mpg What on earth are these people driving?
y que importa mas, el dinero o su hijo. las ratas del gobierno tarde que temprano van a pagar por lo que nos hacen, nadie se va de este mundo sin haber pagado lo que se debe.

Bay Area, rest of CA fall short of Gov. Newsom's voluntary 15% water conservation targetCalifornians used more water in January compared to before the drought emergency was declared, a sign that residents are ignoring the state's pleas to take the drought seriously and cut back. Should the voluntary cuts be mandatory? And how much of that water use is by pot farmers? Stop watering your golf courses and wineries, then, and stop filling street dividers with plants we don’t need there that now have to be watered. You can’t expect families to not use a very necessary resource. When will folks realize that the wealthy don’t care and will just throw more money at things? It’s why the middle class is getting squeezed out here. Do better CA.
