Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park is a national park of the United States in California. It is bordered on the southeast by the Sierra National Forest and on the northwest by Stanislaus National Forest. The park is managed by the National Park Service and covers 1,187 mi2 (3,070 km2) in four counties – centered in Tuolumne and Mariposa, extending north and east to Mono and south to Madera. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1984, Yosemite is internationally recognized for its granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, groves of giant sequoia, lakes, mountains, meadows, glaciers, and biological diversity. Almost 95 percent of the park is designated wilderness. Yosemite is one of the largest and least fragmented habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

An op-ed by California Assemblymember David Tangipa highlights Fresno as a rare affordable foothold in a state losing residents to high costs, with the Department of Finance reporting roughly 288,600 more people left California than arrived last year. Fresno's median home price was about $400,000 in September versus nearly $900,000 statewide. The piece cites the city's agricultural output (around $8.1 billion in 2022), a new Fresno State AI supercomputing partnership, falling homicide rates, and growth as factors drawing young families seeking homeownership and space they can no longer find in Los Angeles or the Bay Area.
