Caltrain official lived in secret apartment built illegally inside train station

news.ycombinator.com George Kelly 2025-10-13 06:14:12

Joseph Navarro’s apartment was a typical Bay Area bachelor pad: on the small side, somewhat lacking in homey touches or creature comforts. But the location was hard to beat: stashed away inside the Burlingame Caltrain station. Images released Thursday by the San Mateo County district attorney’s office show the interior of the secret dwelling that Navarro, a former Caltrain deputy director, built illegally using public funds. Navarro lived in the snug chambers for years, but he will now reside

Originally published May 20, 2015. Since then my cognitive function has made a fairly complete comeback, well except accounting for normal aging.
