Chili Leaves: Health Benefits & Recipe

Another case of MAGA cheating to take power. Nevadans deserve better. Vote for honesty and respect of the law: vote Blue!

The Reno Housing Authority is seeking approval to build a 42-unit affordable apartment complex at 440 Reno Ave., near South Arlington and Midtown. The site currently houses an RHA resident services facility.

The project would include:

18 one-bedroom units

24 two-bedroom units

Three two-story buildings

A clubhouse

42 dedicated parking spaces — RHA specifically chose not to seek a parking reduction after neighborhood feedback

Estimated cost: $18.6 million

Construction expected to start May 2027, with move-in targeted for October 2028

All 42 apartments would be income-restricted to households earning 60% or less of area median income. Rents are projected at:

1-bedroom: $650–$1,350

2-bedroom: $780–$1,580

RHA also expects up to 24 project-based vouchers, which could make some units even more affordable. Those voucher units are expected to open to waitlists around 2028.

The really striking part is the scale of the need: Reno's housing dashboard estimates the city needs another 7,046 affordable units through 2034. So this 42-unit project represents about 0.6% of the identified need.

For comparison, average rent in Reno-Sparks reached $1,798/month in Q1 2026, with apartment vacancy just above 2%.

The project is also getting a density bonus because it's affordable housing. The 1.2-acre site would normally allow 30 units, but RHA is using a 40% density bonus to reach 42.

Bottom line: This looks like a solid infill affordable-housing project in a very good location, and RHA appears to have made some concessions to neighborhood concerns. But 42 units is a pretty tiny dent in a shortage measured in thousands of units

Just means nature didn't cause it, nothing about it being deliberate.

"The protest is planned from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, at Stellar Aviation, which provides private flight services from a hangar connected to Reno-Tahoe International Airport."

tl/dr: Reno's largest industry in May 2026 was transportation, trade and utilities with 60,700 jobs within the region, the BLS said. It was followed by leisure and hospitality with 40,900 jobs in the Reno area. Government jobs were the third largest with 37,000 jobs.

There is no confirmed reason for the closure. The evidence points to some type of lease termination or failure to continue the tenancy, but neither Peg's nor the landlord has publicly stated whether that was due to the lease expiring without renewal, unsuccessful lease negotiations, a landlord decision not to renew, or another confidential business issue.
