Action Please: reader concerns on mail delivery and parking
A reader complains about front‑of‑mailbox parking rules and asks to involve the postmaster for feasible solutions. The service replies that occasional blockage prompts delivery suspension only if controllable. A second letter seeks help with car body damage from a dull hole saw and a garage refund, with the owner promising repainting. A third note reports wage‑discrimination settlement issues and stop‑payment steps. A caller asks for courtesy from a telephone service column.
Solar powered Sacramento office designed for energy showpiece
A Los Angeles firm won a major Sacramento architectural contest with a six story energy conserving office plan. The design features a 25 000 square foot solar collector wall on the exterior and most of the building buried underground to free space for a park and public housing nearby. The system uses heated steam produced by focused sun rays turning water into steam then ice to chill air for cooling. Governor Brown backs the Capitol Area Plan to revitalize downtown with mixed use development.
