With the latest agreement between Alameda County and the city of Pleasanton some of the only remaining land in Downtown Pleasanton will have a purpose. The 10-acre transportation corridor (former train route) will be used for parking (whoo hoo), pedestrian paths, and building easements. The total cost to acquire has not been disclosed, but it is reported that Pleasanton will pay $6 million for the 10 acres. This stretch of land runs from Old Stanley to Bernal Ave and is expected to add 400 parking spaces to downtown.
I was surfing some Pleasanton info today and came across this photo. Remember when the Oakland A’s were looking to move to Pleasanton? I think I can speak for most Pleasanton residents when I say, bring on a hockey rink! I would rather that be here than a MLB stadium.
The Staples Ranch open space in Pleasanton has been at the top of city council meeting agendas for some time now, and on Tuesday the council approved to move forward on the 17-acre community park which includes an 8-acre ice rink. Its’s Pleasanton so a move like this cannot happen without opposition, and the 124-acre open space may see an initiative come to vote that would ban all development except for the Hendrix Auto Mall.
The park itseld would include walking trails, a dog park, sports fiels, bocce courts, and tennis courts.

If you are a first-time home buyer who lacks the upfront money for a down payment, you might want to enter into one of many types of co-ownership arrangements.
For example, an equity-sharing arrangement enables parents or another party to contribute all or part of the down payment for the intended occupants; these investors are listed on the title and are paid rent for their ownership stake, which can be put toward such expenses as insurance, maintenance, and property taxes that can be deducted from their income taxes.
A co-occupier arrangement, meanwhile, means two parties pay an equal portion of the down payment and homeownership costs; both reside in the home and share any profits at the time of resale, although they risk being held liable for the entire mortgage if one leaves and refuses to pay.
First-time buyers can receive downpayment gifts from parents, but parents must pay gift taxes if they contribute more than $12,000 in a single year. Experts discourage parents from obtaining personal loans to help out, as these do not permit tax deductions and could make the borrower appear as a greater risk in the eyes of the lender.
