📰 News we're reading

• Fiery Hudson St. Challenge Tops Healdsburg Council Agenda (patch.com) — Healdsburg residents are challenging approval of a major senior living and affordable housing project on Hudson Street, arguing it violates local zoning and stretches the definition of residential care. City staff strongly disagrees and urges the Healdsburg City Council to deny the appeal at Monday's meeting, citing state housing laws, revised larger affordable units, and a lack of unmitigable health or safety impacts.
   

• Healdsburg Train Station Debate Takes Another Turn With Councilmember's Survey (patch.com) — Healdsburg officials are asking residents and local businesses to complete new surveys that could influence where SMART ultimately builds the city's long-awaited train station. The results will feed into public meetings this fall as SMART reconsiders the previously approved Hudson Street depot in favor of a Downtown West Plaza site, raising questions about commuting patterns, tourism, and future development at Healdsburg's southern gateway.
   

• Fight at Santa Rosa high school leaves student injured, 2 teens arrested (pressdemocrat.com) — A fight inside a Santa Rosa high school bathroom Thursday left one student injured and led to the arrest of two 17-year-olds, including one detained after leaving his Healdsburg home. Police also arrested a 24-year-old Healdsburg man in the same vehicle for allegedly carrying a loaded "ghost gun," and say the assault appears gang-related, prompting renewed calls for community-wide prevention efforts.
