Council looking at limiting parking ager Nil Blackburn suggested council raise the cost of the first ticket to $100, to daytime hours and increasing fines. [See RVs, page 22] The controversy in San Carlos is emerging as Palo Alto residents and businesses have been trying to get the city to outlaw RVs from parking in front of homes and businesses. The problem exploded last year when Caltrans put bike lanes on El Camino Real, forcing the RVs that had parked there to find other streets to occupy. On Oct. 19, Palo Alto City Council voted to ban RVs within 100 feet of any home from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. BY NORAH SHEPPARD-HUTCHINS Daily Post Staff Writer

INTERCEPTION — Falcons safety Jessie Bates III intercepts a Brock Purdy pass in yesterday’s game in Atlanta. AP photo.
Turnovers kill 49ers San Francisco’s perfect start to the season was wiped out by a painful reminder that even an unbeaten team can’t overcome a 4-0 deficit in turnovers. Michael Penix Jr. threw three touchdown passes, Atlanta scored 13 points off four turnovers and the Falcons handed the 49ers their first loss, 29-20 yesterday. “Any time you have four turnovers like that and you get zero, it’s real tough to win,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “Too sloppy to win.”
San Francisco (6-1) was already thin at wide receiver before its offense faced additional limitations when running back Christian McCaffrey missed much of the first half with a thigh injury and didn’t assume his normal workload when he returned after halftime. Rookie Kendal Daniels intercepted Brock Purdy’s pass intended for Jordan Watkins with 2:34 remaining. It was Purdy’s second interception. Daniels then recovered a fumble by George Kittle with less than a minute remaining for Atlanta’s final takeaway.

Natalie Nakase’s shake-up of the Golden State Valkyries’ starting lineup for Game 4 of the WNBA Finals brought back memories of a similar move made by Warriors coach Steve Kerr in the NBA Finals more than a decade ago with his team in the very same spot. Veteran guard Tiffany Hayes joined the starting five for the Valkyries on Saturday as they evened the best-ofseven series with a 67-62 win at Atlanta — and in 2015 it was veteran Andre Iguodala who delivered in his increased role against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers as the Warriors went on to capture their first championship in 40 years.

Post ballot Ticket splitting stops reform Daily recommendations If you want to reform the Palo Alto Unified School District, don’t split your ticket between a status quo candidate and a reformer. This fall, voters will pick two candidates for two openings on the five-member board. Three candidates are running for the two seats: Linda Henigin, Dave the status quo candidate, Price and two reformers, John Craig and Avery Wang. The current composition of the board is 4-1 favor of the status quo. If you ticket split, and pick the status quo candidate and one of the reformers, the composition of the board will be 3-2 — three for the status quo and two reformers. As a result, nothing will change. If you elect both reformers, the board swings to 3-2 in the direction of reform.
Voters need to decide if they want reform or the status quo. In other words, is PAUSD on the right track or wrong track?
Ad told half the story
Nobody expects political advertising to be honest, but given all of the respected community leaders who are on the Yes-on-J bandwagon, you’d expect more from that campaign. Measure J would permanently raise the sales tax by a half cent so the city could pay the school district $65.5 million for a piece of the Cubberley Community Center. Last week, the Yes-on-J side released an ad that made it sound as if former Palo Alto Mayor Lydia Kou favored Measure J. She favored the acquisition in 2024 but she doesn’t like the sales tax hike that was proposed this year, long after she was off council. The ad didn’t say that.
Among her objections: Measure J has no expiration. It’s a regressive tax that hits the low- and middle-income people the hardest. And while it’s said to be a tax for Cubberley, there’s nothing stopping the city from using the money for other government activities. And she points out that the ballot language says the tax will be in effect “…until ended by voters.” But Kou said she questions how many voters understand how much money and effort it would take to repeal a tax. Some of the Yes-on-J people wish Kou had raised her objections in 2024 when she was part of the committee negotiating the Cubberley deal. But how could she? The tax hadn’t been decided back then. At that time, they were talking about a bond measure. Editor Dave Price’s column appears on Mondays.

OPINION When I think about Measure D, I think about why Los Altos created the downtown parking plazas in the first place. They were a tool to help our downtown thrive. Previous generations had the foresight to assemble land, create public parking and invest in the future because they understood that communities change and that public assets should serve evolving needs. Today, we enjoy the benefits of those decisions. Our downtown is vibrant, walkable and economically successful because earlier residents were willing to look beyond the needs of the moment. That is why I am voting “no” on Measure D. A “no” vote does not approve any particular project. It simply preserves the ability of future residents and elected leaders to make decisions about public land through an open public process. A “yes” vote would impose permanent restrictions on public property and require citywide voter approval before many changes could be made. It would limit the ability of future generations to address challenges we cannot foresee today. The people who created the parking plazas were not trying to freeze downtown in time. They were investing in the future. The best way to honor their vision is to preserve the flexibility to use these public assets in whatever way best serves the community. For that reason, I hope my neighbors will join me in voting No on Measure D. Jonathan Weinberg Los Altos

Dear Editor: I am increasingly troubled by how out of touch Palo Alto’s leadership seems to be with the financial realities facing everyday residents. I meet laid-off working parents in Palo Alto every single week. These are families navigating job losses, financial uncertainty, and shrinking opportunities in the technology industry. Yet our City Council and school board are asking residents to support an indefinite half-cent sales tax increase, a regressive tax that disproportionately burdens lower-income households, without a legally binding commitment to spend the revenue on Cubberley.

ty in finding solutions that don’t require asking residents for more money? Our leaders hear primarily from those with the time, resources and financial security to participate in civic discussions. The working parents I meet are underwater: searching for jobs, paying mortgages, supporting their children. They don’t have the bandwidth to attend City Council meetings or advocate for themselves. Their silence should not be mistaken for consent. Palo Alto may be a wealthy city, but that does not mean every family here is wealthy or insulated from economic hardship. Residents deserve a government that respects their financial realities, not one that assumes they can always afford another tax. The Measure J voting results will be the signal from the noise on this topic. Hiral Parekh Palo Alto

years. Here is why I oppose Measure E. My family has spent decades maintaining local rental housing, investing in roofs, electrical panels, water heaters, and other essential repairs while working to keep rents affordable. Today, rising insurance, labor, utilities and maintenance costs are making that increasingly difficult. Redwood City already has rent control. Measure E would impose even tighter limits while making it significantly harder and more expensive for property owners to reclaim their homes for legitimate reasons, including needed renovations or housing their own family members. It would also create additional obstacles for owners dealing with disruptive or dangerous tenants. These provisions have consequences. When responsible, small property owners lose the flexibility to manage their properties and the ability to cover rising expenses, some will decide that providing rental housing is no longer sustainable. They may sell or leave the rental market altogether. We all want housing to be affordable. But making it harder to maintain properties, manage tenancies and provide rental housing does not create more homes or solve the underlying affordability crisis. I am raising the fifth generation of my family in Redwood City. I want our community to remain a place where people can afford to live and where

Dear Editor: The front-page Daily Post photograph of Los Altos Councilman Pete Dailey angrily pointing his finger at a resident, during a contentious council meeting last July, immediately came to mind when I saw the Post had endorsed him for Valley Water board of directors. Many Los Altos friends remember that night, believing that Pete Dailey disrespected all residents that pushed back on his vision for Los Altos, refusing to bend their knees to him. In contrast, Rebecca Eisenberg, our Water Board incumbent and my candidate, is a representative that has proven herself to be consistently responsive to constituents, answering queries with detailed, reasoned replies about our most important resource: water. Even in the face of adversity, such as the Los Altos resident encountered with Dailey, Eisenberg speaks for constituents. She has worked in our best interests. I believe she has been poorly treated by a “Group Think” water board. Eisenberg’s voice is needed now more than ever. This position is too important to simply be a stepping stone to higher office.

Transgender sports on ballot in 2 states
Colorado and Washington are reliably Democratic states where elected officials have rejected moves to ban transgender athletes from female sports competitions. Now activists have gone around lawmakers to put proposed bans on both states’ ballots. At a time when some Democratic leaders nationwide are recalibrating their approach to transgender issues, particularly sports, and polls show Americans back the bans, supporters are optimistic they will pass and open the door to similar efforts in other places where lawmakers have blocked bans.
A June poll from Quinnipiac University found that about 7 in 10 registered voters think transgender women and girls shouldn’t be allowed to play on female sports teams. Since transgender restrictions gained traction this decade, states with Democratic-led governors’ offices and legislatures generally have rejected proposals such as banning transgender people from the bathrooms that match their gender identity and restricting sex-change procedures. Most Republican-led states have adopted those policies.
A first at the polls Though the issue has been debated in many legislatures, this is the first time it’s going to voters. “What is happening in 2026 is a testing ground for the future,” said Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, which supports LGBTQ+ rights. Twenty-seven states already banned transgender athletes from playing in girls’ or women’s sports. The efforts are billed as a way to protect women and girls and keep separate spaces for them, tapping into a concern that’s gained momentum. President Trump has taken steps to roll back transgender rights. The Supreme Court has upheld state sports bans.
Cheating The argument has been framed around fairness — that girls are being cheated when a biological male wins a competition. But the idea that girls are being cheated is personal for some athletes. Ahnaleigh Wilson, a 17-year-old junior at Eastmont High School, about 150 miles east of Seattle, has been speaking out against allowing transgender girls to compete in girls’ sports since she was in junior high. She said she’d won all her 1,600-meter races in seventh and eighth grade — until she finished second to a transgender athlete in a major meet. “I knew it wasn’t right and it wasn’t fair,” she said.

Medical tourism gains in popularity TreVita, a U.S.-based medical travel company, has reported a 127% yearover-year increase in its plastic surgery program, alongside a 19% increase in male clients as cosmetic procedures attract a broader range of patients and more Americans consider traveling for care.
Men accounted for more than 14% of surgical procedures worldwide, with eyelid surgery, gynecomastia surgery and rhinoplasty ranking as their three most common surgical procedures. TreVita is also seeing demand evolve alongside the widespread adoption of GLP-1 weight-loss medications.
35 million procedures The increase comes amid renewed growth across plastic surgery overall. Cosmetic surgical procedures in the U.S. increased 7% in 2025, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), with liposuction, breast augmentation and tummy tucks among the most in-demand procedures. Globally, more than 35 million surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic procedures were performed in 2025.
Removing loose skin Significant weight loss can leave patients with excess or loose skin, increasing interest in procedures designed to remove skin and reshape areas of the body. In 2025, 82% of ASPS member surgeons reported receiving consultation requests related to GLP-1 use. Upper body lifts increased 22%, arm lifts 21%, thigh lifts 20% and breast lifts 8%.

NEWS cording to Ho. Smiling can affect brain chemicals that are associated with positive feelings including endorphins, dopamine and serotonin. “People who smile during stressful tasks generally demonstrated lower heart rates during recovery than those maintaining neutral expressions,” Ho said. “Smiling also reduced aspects of the body’s physiological stress response.” The hope is if you smile enough, you will start feeling it emotionally. “In some ways it’s like a mediating effect,” she added. Cultural differences How smiling and even the openness of a smile are perceived are not universal. Tsai, the Stanford professor, has conducted research on how emotion in American culture puts value on trying to always feel positive and minimizing negativity and sadness. In East Asian cultures, emotion is more about balance. “It’s like the positive and the negative emotions are braided together, and so you don’t want to feel too positive or too negative,” Tsai said. “You want more of a balance between the two.” Her past studies also examined how European Americans and East Asians — including Taiwanese, South Koreans, Japanese and Hong Kong Chinese — look at a “neutral or a calm” smile versus a full-on grin. Subjects rated the differing facial expressions on warmth and trustworthiness. While some Americans saw the excited smiles as friendlier, some East Asians

characterized those facial expressions as “emotionally unstable” or “unreliable.” “What kind of smile matters — whether it’s a calm, closed mouth smile more like the Dalai Lama or a big toothy excited smile like Julia Roberts,” Tsai said. “We’ve done some series of studies in Taiwan and other East Asian contexts. They don’t like the big, toothy, excited smile unless it’s really situationally appropriate.” Smiles everywhere In Thailand — known as “The Land of Smiles” — smiling is embedded in

Women in recent years have smacked down the idea that they have to smile in the workplace while men do not. Smiling can feel like a Catch-22 for some women and sometimes for people of color who may be stereotyped as unapproachable or cold if they don’t smile enough. Last year, retailer Target was ridiculed across social media for instituting a smiling policy. Workers had to smile and make eye contact if a customer was within 10 feet and personally greet them if they were within 4 feet.
People want ‘emotional autonomy’ People do not like feeling like they have no “emotional autonomy,” according to Nicholas Coles, an assistant professor who runs the Social Science Collaboratory at the University of Florida in Gainesville. “In those scenarios, what we find TOM CRUISE is that it’s more that you’re smiling your way to misery,” Coles said. the culture.

Trump attacks candidate President Trump yesterday questioned Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul ElSayed’s loyalties to the U.S. and repeatedly tried to tie him to extremism, claims the Democrat has repeatedly denied and denounced. “I’m here today in Michigan for a very important reaEL-SAYED son,” Trump told the crowd in Port Huron. “I’m here to keep a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator.” Trump has pointed to emails
from El-Sayed’s sister and mother saying their family had been a part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
9/11 comparison Trump yesterday invoked the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, drawing a comparison between stopping El-Sayed from entering the Senate and the passengers who fought back against the hijackers aboard United Flight 93. “Twenty-five years later, Michigan needs to stand up and fight, just like Todd did, to stop a jihadist from walking into the Capitol,” Trump said, referring to Todd Beamer, a Michigan native who
died aboard the flight. Trump then invited Beamer’s parents onto the stage. Earlier in the week, El-Sayed encouraged Trump to come to Michigan in the belief that a visit would backfire on Republican candidate Mike Rogers. “Donald, if you’re watching, don’t wuss out, man,” El-Sayed said. The progressive, who won a divisive primary in August, has said the country needs to “turn the page on Donald Trump.” During their second and final general election campaign debate, Rogers questioned El-Sayed’s loyalty to the United States.
