📰 News we're reading
• SLO County Board of Supervisors votes to increase growth in Los Osos in 2026 (ksby.com) — Los Osos residents face a higher housing growth cap in 2026 after county supervisors approved a 0.4% growth rate, allowing about 25 new home permits. Local water officials had urged no increase, citing groundwater and seawater intrusion concerns, while county planners argued the modest bump supports broader housing goals and historically hasn’t been fully used.
