Davisville, Aug. 1, 2022: Millennials in the market, fewer Bay Area buyers, and other Davis housing updates

Mon, 08/01/2022 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

The migration of people from the Bay Area to Davis inspired by the pandemic has cooled, the average price of a house in Davis has shot past $900,000, and more than half of the city’s homebuyers now seem to be millennials. That's some of the updated Davis housing information you'll hear in today's conversation with three members of a Davis family who have made local real estate their career: Steve, Kit, and James Boschken. Steve, a real estate broker, and Kit own Boschken Properties, where she is also manager, and their son James is a real estate agent and property manager who’s about to move back to Davis from Texas.

53. Bugs in the Building

Mon, 08/01/2022 - 4:13pm | Rohan

There are more than 1.5 million species of insects on our planet. They pollinate fruits, flowers, and vegetables, and produce honey, beeswax, and silk. Insects are the only food source for many amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Humans in many parts of the world eat insects, which are a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Some people reach for a can of bug spray or scream when they see insects scurrying about, but not our guest, entomologist Lynn Kimsey, director of the UC Davis Bohart Entomology Museum. Our place of the week is Madagascar, home to hissing cockroaches, upside down trees, bizarre karst limestone formations, amazing biodiversity, and rare and endangered lemurs.

Steve Beck of Needle, live in the studio on Listening Lyrics, July 29, 2022

Fri, 07/29/2022 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Steve Beck has been involved with music most of his life, from founding a leading musician portal in the early days of the internet, and speaking at SXSW, to releasing three acclaimed albums with his band Needle, and traveling the globe to speak to musicians on behalf of the U.S. State Department.

Needle blends Beck’s low-fi minimalist arrangements with Julie Cornett’s collection of lullabies and symphonic sagas. The duo's most recent release, The Long View, came during the pandemic. They enlisted Dana Colley (Morphine, Twinemen, Vapors of Morphine) to play saxophone on a few tracks, and Kramer (Low, Galaxy 500, Daniel Johnston) mastered the project. The Noise Room is Steve’s home on the web; he wrote or conducted most of its articles and interviews.
