Davisville, Feb. 9, 2026: Think of homes in Davis in the 2030s and ’40s — what do you see?

Mon, 02/09/2026 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Map of Davis CA.png

Davis is updating its General Plan, which is meant to guide Davis’ physical development as a community through 2050. The update is a classic, easy-to-overlook civic project that works better when more people know about it and add their ideas about what they want for Davis.

The Davis Community Action Network, a local nonprofit, has spent the last couple of years meeting with people in Davis and Yolo County to learn more about what they would like to see happen in Davis, particularly in the areas of housing and climate. The group summarized its work in “From Voice to Vision: Community Insights for Davis’ General Plan Update,” released a year ago. The housing question has been refreshed by the City Council’s decision last month to place the proposed 1,800-home Village Farms development on the June 2026 ballot.

Today we talk about what the report says with Judy Ennis, executive director of the network, and Jonathan London, a member of its board.

In the Key of Folk, Feb. 4, 2026: Honoring Bill Wagman and his wonderful house concerts

Wed, 02/04/2026 - 12:00pm | Karen Leyse

Screenshot 2026-02-03 at 10.34.17 PM.png

Today on In the Key of Folk: Nirvana can be defined as "a place of complete bliss and delight and peace." I'm going to say that many of us felt that when we were there at Bill's house concerts. Bill was always gracious, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in all of us. He made us feel welcome. The musicians who graced his living room became his friends, those of us who came to listen often became like family. Last week and today I'm playing tracks from a small portion of the musicians who graced his living room, so step inside and join us at 2 p.m. today, Wednesday.
