Some desperately sought advice: Could they open an account at a larger bank without a Social Security Number? Others questioned whether they had to physically be at a bank to open an account, because they’re visiting parents overseas.One clear theme emerged: a deep concern about the broader impact on startups led by people of color.While Wall Street struggles to contain the banking crisis after the swift demise of SVB — the nation’s 16th largest bank and the biggest to fail since the 2008 financial meltdown — industry experts predict it could become even harder for people of color to secure funding or a financial home supporting their startups.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:34:18 GMT

Amid a dry start to the weekend, Monterey County officials on Saturday lifted more evacuation orders in inland regions where flood conditions from an atmospheric river storm earlier in the week had driven tens of thousands from their homes.Residents who live in a number of evacuation zones toward the county’s northern areas have been cleared to return, including in the former sugar town of Spreckels, south of Highway 68.With meteorologists expecting low weekend rain totals ahead of a wetter weather system on Monday, county officials said flood levels at the Salinas River were actively receding.Still, about a 200-mile stretch of Highway 1 — much of it along the Big Sur coast, a road-trip favorite among tourists — remains closed, from the historic Deetjen’s Inn to Ragged Point in San Luis Obispo County. Portions of the highway are expected to remain shut down through the weekend.And meanwhile, a return home is yet to appear on the horizon for thousands of farmw...
