Utah Valley St. 77, West Georgia 74Stock market today: Wall Street hits records despite tariff talk
BARCELONA – Tens of thousands of Spaniards marched in downtown Barcelona on Saturday to protest the skyrocketing cost of renting an apartment in the popular tourist destination. Protesters cut off traffic on main avenues in the city center, holding up homemade signs in Spanish reading “Fewer apartments for investing and more homes for living" and “The people without homes uphold their rights.” Recommended Videos The lack of affordable housing has become one of the leading concerns for the southern European Union country, mirroring the housing crunch across many parts of the world, including the United States . Organizers said that over 100,000 had turned out, while Barcelona’s police said they estimated some 22,000 marched. Either way, the throngs of people clogging the streets recalled the massive separatist rallies at the heigh of the previous decade’s Catalan independence movement. Now, social concerns led by housing have displaced political crusades. That is because the average rent for Spain has doubled in last 10 years. The price per square meter has risen from 7.2 euros ($7.5) in 2014 to 13 euros this year, according to the popular online real estate website Idealista. The growth is even more acute in cities like Barcelona and Madrid. Incomes meanwhile have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment. Protestor Samuel Saintot said he is “frustrated and scared” after being told by the owners of the apartment he has rented for the past 15 years in Barcelona’s city center that he must vacate the premises. He suspects that the owners want him out so they can renovate it and boost the price. “Even looking in a 20- or 30-kilometer radius outside town, I can’t even find anything within the price range I can afford,” he told The Associated Press. “And I consider myself a very fortunate person, because I earn a decent salary. And even in my case, I may be forced to leave town.” A report by the Bank of Spain indicates that nearly 40% of Spaniards who rent dedicate an average of 40% of their income to paying rents and utilities, compared to the European Union average of 27% of renters who do so. “We are talking about a housing emergency. It means people having many difficulties both in accessing and staying in their homes,” said Ignasi Martí, professor for Esade business school and head of its Dignified Housing Observatory. The rise in rents is causing significant pain in Spain, where traditionally people seek to own their homes. Rental prices have also been driven up by short-term renters including tourists. Many migrants to Spain are also disproportionately hit by the high rents because they often do not have enough savings. Spain is near the bottom end of OECD countries with under 2% of all housing available being public housing for rent. The OECD average is 7%. Spain is far behind France, with 14%, Britain with 16%, and the Netherlands with 34%. Carme Arcarazo, spokesperson for Barcelona’s Tenants Union which helped organize the protest, said that renters should consider a “rent strike” and cease paying their monthly rents in a mass protest movement. “I think we the tenants have understood that this depends on us. That we can’t keep asking and making demands to the authorities and waiting for an answer. We must take the reins of the situation,” Arcarazo told the AP. “So, if they (the owners) won’t lower the rent, then we will force them to do it." The Barcelona protest came a month after tens of thousands rallied against high rents in Madrid. The rising discontent over housing is putting pressure on Spain’s governing Socialist party, which leads a coalition on the national level and is in charge of Catalonia’s regional government and Barcelona’s city hall. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez presided over what the government termed a “housing summit” including government officials and real estate developers last month. But the Barcelona’s Tenants Union boycotted the event, saying it was like calling a summit for curing cancer and inviting tobacco companies to participate. The leading government measure has been a rent cap mechanism that the central government has offered to regional authorities based on a price index established by the housing ministry. Rent controls can be applied to areas deemed to be “highly stressed” by high rental prices. Catalonia was the first region to apply those caps, which are in place in downtown Barcelona. Many locals blame the million of tourists who visit Barcelona, and the rest of Spain, each year for the high prices. Barcelona’s town hall has pledged to completely eliminate the city’s 10,000 so called “tourist apartments,” or dwellings with permits for short-term rents, by 2028.AP News Summary at 5:25 p.m. EST
Alex Ovechkin's quest to surpass Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record will be put on hold for at least another month. The Washington Capitals announced Thursday that further consultation with team doctors revealed that Ovechkin—who was already on injured reserve—had a fracture to his left fibula and would miss at least the next 4-6 weeks. Ovechkin suffered the injury on Monday night during a collision with the Utah Hockey Club's Jack McBain. "Everyone's bummed out," winger Tom Wilson told reporters . "We were sitting there saying: 'This is weird. Like, it's unbelievable that he's actually hurt.' It's one of those things where like, 'He's going to miss games'? I've been around a long time, and it's new to me." Ovechkin, 39, is currently just 26 goals shy of Gretzky's NHL-record of 894 career tallies. It appeared he might top the mark this season after he scored 15 goals in his first 18 games, a blistering pace. One major factor in his pursuit of the goals record—a record once deemed unlikely to be broken, given that Gordie Howe is the only other player in NHL history to ever reach 800 goals (801) alongside Gretzky and Ovechkin—has been his durability. Before this injury, Ovechkin had only missed 59 games total in his first 19 seasons, and only 35 of those due to injury, while maintaining an aggressive, fearless approach. "He doesn't go out there and just coast around," Wilson noted. "He's played 20 years every shift running over guys and skating. He's a power forward, the best goal-scorer ever maybe, and he's a power forward that plays the game really hard." One record Ovechkin won't be touching, however, is Gretzky's incredible assists record, which stands at 1,963, over 700 assists clear of Ron Francis in second place (1,249). But that was never Ovechkin's game. Assuming Ovechkin returns at some point in late December or early January, he will have around 45 games, give or take, to top Gretzky's goals record this season. Given his torrid scoring pace to start the season, it's certainly a possibility.Revolutionizing Governance with a Bold Vision: Owolabi Salis Unveils "Equitocracy - Diversity-Based Democracy"DEC reps to appear at LOTSA meeting Lake Ontario enjoyed another outstanding year in 2024 from a fishing standpoint. To find out how good it was, mark Dec. 12 on your calendar as the Lake Ontario Trout and Salmon Association will hold its annual year-end meeting. Guests will be key members of the Lake Ontario Unit of DEC’s Bureau of Fisheries. Chris Legard headlines a list of aquatic biologists that includes Mike Connerton and Jessica Goretzke. Also in attendance will be Region 9 Fisheries Manager James Markham. They will cover the Lake Ontario creel census results for both the lake and the tributaries, age structure and weight of Chinook salmon, 2024 prey fish results, 2025 stocking plans, and give an update on the DNA assessment of wild versus hatchery-raised Chinook salmon. “One of the ways that the DEC is managing the Lake Ontario trout and salmon fishery is by participating in meetings where a significant number of Lake Ontario anglers will be in attendance,” LOTSA president Joe Yaeger said. “They want to hear directly from those anglers who heavily use the fishery and obtain their input about the 2024 season along with answering any questions they might have. This is the only meeting with DEC on the west end of the lake this year.” The meeting, which is open to all, will begin at 7 p.m. at the North Amherst Fire Hall, 2200 Tonawanda Creek Road, Amherst. Pizza will be served starting at 6:30 p.m. It's also a good time to renew memberships or join for a $10 fee. Wade Winch, of North Tonawanda, holds an Atlantic salmon he caught and released on the Niagara Bar this past week. Lindquist to speak at TU meeting The Western New York Chapter of Trout Unlimited's monthly meeting and speaker series will continue Tuesday at Orvis Buffalo, 4545 Transit Road, Clarence. Fly tying and fellowship will begin at 5 p.m. with the monthly speaker starting at 6. This month’s featured speaker is author Bob Lindquist, also a guide and authority on the Delaware River system. He will be giving a presentation called Flies of the under Hatch, which focuses on fishing below the surface during major hatches. The meeting is open to the public. Lake trout season set to open Lake trout have been given a bad rap through the years in the eyes of many salmon and trout fishermen. They are deserving of more respect, especially as it pertains to the lower Niagara River and Niagara Bar. Every fall, lake trout make their way up the river to spawn and the season is shut down from Oct. 1-Nov. 30. Some anglers appreciate the fact that this is a unique scenario. Lake trout season opens Dec. 1 for the lower Niagara and Lake Ontario, giving both boat and shore fishermen an opportunity to catch one of these deep-water fish. There is no minimum size, and the daily limit is two, however no more than one fish can be between 25 and 30 inches in length. Most anglers practice catch-and-release for these fish and there is good reason for this in the Niagara River. It’s a documented fact that lake trout have successfully reproduced naturally in the river and continue to do so. This is extremely rare in a river system. Outdoor recreation helps drive economy In a recent economic data report, the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable reported that outdoor recreation is responsible for $1.2 trillion in economic output in 2023. It is responsible for 5 million jobs, making up 3.1% of U.S. employees. These are the largest numbers since the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis started calculating in 2012. According to the new data, the outdoor recreation economy has grown 36% since 2012. The outdoor recreation economy also contributes more than farming, mining and utilities. As far as diverse sector growth, hunting/shooting/trapping was up 12% since last year; climbing/hiking/tent camping was up 6%; bicycling rose 11%; snow activities spiked 23%; trips and travel were up 7%; and lodging was up 9%. The growth of the outdoor recreation economy (3.6%) also exceeded the growth of the U.S. economy (2.9%) from 2022 to 2023. Jobs in the outdoors grew by 3.3% compared with 1.8% in the rest of the country.
