On the ballot.......VOTE NO on Measures ULA and SP ( we need the continued benefits of Prop.13!!!! )
In 2020, you helped??—defending the property tax protections of Prop 13. Thank you for your support! Now, new threats to Prop 13 have emerged in L.A. and we are again calling on you for help.?
Measures ULA and SP are property tax increases in L.A. that have qualified for the November ballot. Together, these two measures create a $1.1 billion property tax increase —?the largest tax increase in the city’s history?— ?that will drive up the cost of everything, making it more expensive to live or work in L.A.?
Make no mistake, ULA and SP will increase property taxes for L.A. renters, homeowners, and small businesses — dismantling decades of Prop 13 protections!
How you can help today:
Get the word out to vote no on Measures ULA and SP by sharing the tweet below on Twitter.
Stop higher property taxes and protect Prop 13 in LA! I’m voting NO on Measures ULA and SP in November and you should too. Learn about these LA property tax hikes here:?

This is one of the subtextual reasons to stay in Southern California:
Take a look at this link. More than anything I’ve seen recently, this is another clue that the center of Los Angeles is really everything west of the 405 freeway and north of downtown Los Angeles.
These are long term plans, but that’s how to invest in real estate.
We already know that Disney is expanding into Santa Clarita -- north, along this route. And NBC/Universal is expanding its empire around the “Universal Studios mountain,” a destination for the commuters Now there’s this, the next phase of the California “high speed rail” project, which imports people from north of the San Fernando Valley, from places like Palmdale to Burbank.
Projects like these don’t move forward unless there are credible data and, of course, major government corruption. However, from the 100,000 foot view, it appears that civic forces are driving the population and business growth to area overdue for redevelopment. This will likely drive up property values, as more businesses revitalize Burbank, and broken down communities like San Fernando, Sylmar and other stops along the line.
Democrats and liberals come and go, but money always does the talking. Over the next few years, you can bet that junkyards, auto repair/chop shops, and dozens of other mom & pops will be quietly bought up, replaced by shiny new warehouses, office buildings and shiny condominiums.
That Los Angeles. That's how we play here.

? If you know anyone who has not registered to vote, this is the link to click.?
? A hunters' link.
From the site:? Hunt The Vote - I Hunt I Vote. Our hunting lifestyle is under attack. A well organized, well-funded, anti-hunting cabal is pushing for outright bans on hunting. From Virginia to Wisconsin to Colorado and Arizona, these anti-hunting forces are uniting to kick us out of the woods and trample on our values of God, family, and country.
50% of Hunters do not vote.
A church-goers site:
?From the site: More than 25 million Christians chose not to vote in the last presidential election. We can do better. Because our faith votes. Whether we cast a ballot or not.
A suggestion: Go to Youtube, and put 'Hunters'? into the search bar.? If Hunting videos come up, post the Hunters' link in the comment section.? Do the same for 'Christianity' or a similar term, and post the OurChurchVotes link.
There are millions of unregistered conservative potential voters.? We must reach them.

These Are Mayoral Candidate Karen Bass Latest Key Endorsements
If you think Garcetti is bad, having Bass as Mayor will be worse!

Caruso is very quiet. Not sure why, other than he's saving his shot for Late October and November. I'm more disturbed by the lack of attention ANYONE is getting for city elections. Nobody is doing much of anything.?
I miss the sixties, when one man with a rifle would solve these kinds of issues.....?

Rob,
Today, the Registrar of Voters completed its count of the 715,833 signatures submitted to recall District Attorney George Gascon. 520,050 signatures were found to be valid and 195,783 were found to be invalid. Therefore, according to the Registrar, the petition has failed to meet the sufficiency requirements.
While the initial results are very surprising and disappointing, the Recall Committee intends to exercise its full statutory and legal authority to review the rejected signatures and verification process that took place, and will ultimately seek to ensure no voter was disenfranchised.
Nonetheless, according to the Registrar-Recorder, over half a million residents placed valid signatures on a petition to initiate the recall of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon. To deprive them of the opportunity to restore public safety in their own communities is heartbreaking. And to interpret this in any other way other than a wholesale rejection of Gascon’s dangerous polices would be disingenuous, or naive at best. The over half a million signatures are in addition to 37 cities voting no confidence in the District Attorney, and over 98% of Gascon’s own prosecutors supporting the recall.
The removal of George Gascon from office has never been a matter of if, but when. The citizens of Los Angeles cannot afford another two years of Gascon unleashing havoc on their streets – people’s lives are at stake.
