Mayor's plea: don't let the clock run out on Lake in Eraring closure
Lake Macquarie mayor Adam Shultz wants direct government intervention to soften the $4.5 billion hit to the city's economy when Eraring power station closes. Cr Shultz has called an extraordinary council meeting for Monday to lobby the government for support before the closure of the power station, slated in two years, takes about 1800 jobs and $4.5 billion out of the local economy. He said the loss of a generational employer would have long-lasting effects on the region and could be devastating for the local economy if not handled properly. "Local businesses are really going to feel an impact, and hence why the federal government needs to step in and provide that additional support," Cr Shultz said. "We have been doing a lot as a local council to put Lake Macquarie on the map, but in terms of the structure shift in our economy - it is happening. And we are really imploring the federal government to come and provide that assistance." Eraring is the largest coal-fired power station in the country. Combined with its auxiliary industries, it employs almost 2000 workers and accounts for about 15 per cent of Lake Macquarie's economy. While Origin Energy had supported its direct workforce through its transition, Cr Shultz said Lake Macquarie was "imploring" the federal and state government to deliver for the region to ease the inevitable tear of displaced workers The energy workers' union, which is also lobbying the federal government's Net Zero Economy Authority for support, said its members were facing an existential crisis as the sector lurched towards its sunset. "Transition support from employers has been patchy, and many workers are unsure where they'll find new jobs once the power station closes," Mining and Energy Union general secretary Grahame Kelly told the Newcastle Herald. "We know from experience that poorly managed industry closures leave long-lasting scars on workers, families and whole communities. The Albanese government's Net Zero Economy Authority is a real opportunity to do things differently and meet its commitment of leaving no one behind in the energy transition." The federal government has consulted on an energy industry jobs plan to support workers and local economies reliant on large employers. The government has said the plan would provide career planning, training and financial advice to workers, as well as paid time off to attend interviews and engage with new employers and unions. Cr Shultz said he would like to see support, particularly around Lake Macquarie, to repurpose disused mining and energy land to assist the industrial shift. "There are potentially hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs on some old mining sites and energy areas that have produced good, stable employment for generations," he said. "They could be repurposed to provide new jobs in the future and attract those new businesses." Mr Kelly said Eraring's closure should set the standard for the national energy sector's decarbonisation, and give workers confidence they they would not be abandoned. "We want Eraring to set an example," he said. "The (authority) has the power to apply an energy industry jobs plan to the Eraring closure. That would create a structured, enforceable framework for supporting workers at Origin and the many contractors and suppliers who keep the power station running." Lake Macquarie City Council will convene its extraordinary meeting on Monday, July 14, in which Cr Shultz will call a vote that the council will lobby the Net Zero Economy Authority to bring its jobs plan to the region. "If we have the Net Zero Economy Authority here, working on Eraring, then they get a first-hand look at what is next for Lake Macquarie," he said.

Tiny homes trial constructed to ease massive housing affordability crisis
Lake Macquarie City Council has teamed up with family services provider Allambi Care to trial the introduction of "tiny homes" to help combat the housing crisis. Under the plan, two blocks of council-owned residential land in Belmont North will be used to accommodate two modular homes. The two-bedroom self-contained houses will be built by West Gosford company Tiny Homes 4 U and transported to the sites in Laxton Crescent and Wommara Avenue. The state government's Homes NSW provided the funding through its Homelessness Innovation Fund. Allambi Care will oversee the tenancy of the homes, which will likely be offered to young adults struggling to find permanent accommodation in Lake Macquarie. Lake Macquarie mayor Adam Shultz said the innovative trial with Allambi Care was one of the key recommendations that came out of the Lake Macquarie Housing Forum held in April at Belmont 16s. "We had more than 80 people from dozens of organisations and government departments in one room, and the clear message was that there is no single solution to housing shortages in our region," Cr Shultz said. "But there was also a determination throughout the group that we must be brave, we must innovate and we can't just keep doing the same thing and expecting things to change. "We need to lean into new opportunities and work together." The development applications for the two tiny homes is pending, but the residents are expected to move in by the end of the year. Allambi Care services over 400 young people in Lake Macquarie who are at risk of homelessness. Allambi's director of family and early intervention services, Kelly-Lee Goodchild, said the tiny homes offered a way to assist young people who struggle to compete for rentals in a limited housing market. "One of the big things we've been managing on an ongoing basis is the lack of short-term and medium-term accommodation for them outside of refuge options and temporary accommodation," Ms Goodchild said. "Finding somewhere for them to build up a rental history and be able to then apply for their own rental accommodation is really challenging. "The access to housing is near impossible for anyone who doesn't have any form of rental history." Ms Goodchild said many young people were couch-surfing, sleeping rough in cars and on the streets or staying in refuges. "Housing is a really massive crisis across the board for a lot of people, but especially for youth that are disconnected from family networks," she said. Cr Shultz said plans were underway to expand the program to another three prefabricated homes as an interim housing measure on underutilised land at Belmont. "These are relatively small projects but that doesn't reduce their importance," Cr Shultz said. "They aim to provide proof of concept, and if they work, they could create a solution blueprint with the potential to be rolled out much more widely." Ms Goodchild said she welcomed any moves to create more tiny homes. "It's a really exciting project to be creative and put some options out there to tackle this problem," she said. "Tiny homes are a great initiative and a practical, cost-effective way to address housing affordability." Last year the Minns government announced plans to build 90 modular public homes across the state as part of the $6.6 billion Building Homes for NSW Program. Five of those homes will be built in Windale, Gateshead, Toronto and Belmont South by the end of the year. DAs have been approved for four of the Lake Macquarie sites and the tender was awarded to Moov Modular. The tender for the fifth site is expected to be awarded next month. The modular homes will be built as the second dwelling in backyards, similar to a granny flat.

Boomerang Kids: Warm Weather Cities Are Seeing Grown-Up Kids Move Back In With Their Parents As Multigenerational Living Soars

Many young adults have overcome the stigma of living with their parents to save on housing costs, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau analyzed by online loan marketplace LendingTree. Across the 50 largest metro areas in the U.S., nearly 12% of employed adults live with their parents, LendingTree found. Not surprisingly, multigenerational housing is most prevalent in expensive sun-soaked U.S. cities, such as Los Angeles and Miami.

You can 'In previous generations, moving back in with mom and dad might have been a sign of defeat or failure, but it's not really seen that way now,' Matt Schulz, LendingTree's chief consumer finance analyst, told the New York Post. 'People are much more practical, and people see the value in spending a little time with their parents.' Using data from the 2018 and 2023 U.S. Census Bureau American Community Surveys, LendingTree found that economic factors were the main reason adults aged 25-40 decided to move back home. Whether it's the high cost of housing in California or the limited job opportunities in places such as Detroit, more than ever, young adults are seeking refuge with their parents. 'If they're living with Mom or Dad, they're able to pay less for rent, groceries and other basic bills, allowing them to stash money away in an emergency fund, save for a car or mortgage down payment, or even get a head start on retirement savings,' Shultz said. 'It may not be the sexiest, but it can make an awful lot of sense.' Trending: Invest Where It Hurts — And Help Millions Heal: The LendingTree report showed that Riverside, California, had the most adults in the country (22%) living with their parents, with Los Angeles (20%) and Miami (18%) close behind. The report also showed that adults who live at home generally make 43.5% less on average than adults of the same age who live independently — earning around $41,000 per year compared to $70,000 for those who don't. Although multigenerational housing has increased in certain sections of the country, such as Las Vegas (22%), Cleveland (16.7%), and Sacramento, California (8.1%), in many less expensive areas, including Oklahoma City, Nashville, and Minneapolis, it has dropped video-game-playing, basement-dwelling cliché of deadbeat kids living with their parents long into adulthood doesn't hold for LendingTree's research. Nearly 12% of adult children living at home hold a bachelor's degree or higher. It is sheer economic savings that motivate them to seek parental refuge. The study shows that, on average, if they chose to live on their own, they would need to allocate more than 40% of their monthly income to rent a one-bedroom apartment, which in many areas is not feasible. The National Association of Realtors' 2025 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report found that 21% of Gen X buyers have purchased multigenerational homes, followed by younger baby boomers aged 60 to 69. 'The rise in multigenerational home buying underscores a broader trend driven by economic necessity and evolving family dynamics, as it offers a practical and supportive living arrangement that resonates with many families, particularly in times of economic uncertainty and changing social dynamics,' Amethyst Marroquin, a research assistant for NAR, explained.

Florida man shot by deputies after alligator attack, charging officers with garden shears
Polk County, Florida Sheriff Grady Judd said deputies shot and killed a man who charged deputies with garden shears and tried to grab a gun from a patrol vehicle, all after he was attacked by an alligator while swimming across a lake. Judd told reporters on Monday that 42-year-old Timothy Shultz was shot and killed after threatening to harm his deputies earlier in the day. Deputies responded to reports at about 6 a.m. on Monday of a man who was at a Racetrack who was acting "bizarre" and "shaking," while asking to call his son. When deputies arrived, they searched for the man for about 40 minutes without success. Then, just before 7:45 a.m., a caller said there was a white guy in a nearby lake that is filled with alligators, with one alligator near the man. The caller told the operator the man "must be drunk or high or something," Judd said. Florida Woman Escapes Storage Container She Was Being Held In After Brutal Assault: Sheriff Deputies learned one witness tried to give the man, later identified as Shultz, a life preserver, though he would not take it. Another witness tried to speak with Shultz, but told deputies he growled at the witness, so they ran into the house and locked the door. Read On The Fox News App When deputies arrived, Shultz was seen walking from the lake to an area between houses while holding a set of garden shears. He also reportedly tried to break into a truck by throwing a brick into the vehicle. Texas Man Calls 911 After Injuring Himself During Alleged Car Dealership Break-in Investigators spoke to one witness who was walking her dog at the time, and she said the man charged at deputies while holding the shears. Judd told reporters the woman questioned why deputies waited so long to shoot, but the sheriff said his deputies were trying to de-escalate the situation. "We also tried to tase him on two different occasions, and he continued to charge at them," Judd said, adding that deputies backed up and told Shultz to throw the shears down. Florida Man Nabbed Allegedly Trying To Outrun Troopers While Wearing Dalmatian Onesie Eventually, Shultz climbed into the passenger side of a patrol vehicle that was running, Judd said. Shultz also allegedly tried to grab a rifle or the shotgun out of its holder, and at that moment, the deputies shot him multiple times and killed him. "It's important to focus on this for a second: He tried to assault my deputies with shears," Judd said. "Then he jumped into their vehicle, which is an armed burglary with shears. Trying to get the rifle and or the shotgun out at that moment in time, all the warnings had to stop, and the action had to begin, and that's when they shot him enough to stop the threat." Judd told reporters Shultz's criminal record is "long," adding that he had multiple methamphetamine arrests. He also said Shultz was released from jail on May 20. Neighbors' Dispute Escalates When Florida Man Allegedly Slashes Woman With Knife "I've said this over and over, and I'll continue to say it: There are still people that want to make the community, or the nation, believe that drugs are low level and nonviolent," he said. "Well, here's your sign." Judd said Shultz was swimming across the lake and got really close to an alligator, appearing to be bitten by an alligator in his right arm. "You know, that's gotta be true. You can't make it up, and, as a result, this is one more example of how violent people are when they use meth and use drugs," Judd said. "When you can swim across the lake, sustain apparent alligator bites, grab shears, try to break into a vehicle, attack law enforcement officers, jump into their car, try to get their rifle and shotgun…you're out of your mind on drugs. And it's not his first time. He's dead." "Quite frankly, his conduct was outrageous…it was bizarre," the sheriff added. "Our deputies, by the way, are going home safe tonight."Original article source: Florida man shot by deputies after alligator attack, charging officers with garden shears
