Greetings all: Just throwing this out there for ideas and leads. A friend of mine in Austria is married to a professional woman who will be attending UCLA for an extension course from September to December of this year. UCLA doesn't offer housing to non-USA students, so she's seeking a place to live for roughly $1200 a month. If you know of anything like this, please contact me. You'd be doing a solid for a nice, deserving person. Thanks! -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon

This is a great newsletter to subscribe to if you're interested in who's flaunting zoning laws. This particular article shows you what defines "low income housing" and even "acutely" or "extremely" low. These are the units (usually around 10% of all units) that a building is required to have to get its desired permits. In other words, the units to turn the neighborhood into a slum. https://la.urbanize.city/post/here-are-californias-new-income-limits-2023 -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon

Greetings: Just a housekeeping note. You may get an e-mail from the host of this group, Groups.io, requesting you confirm your subscription or something like that. It's legit. They'll probably explain the whole thing in their e-mail to you, but just follow direction and they won't forcibly drop you from the list. -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, July 7th, 2023 Lawsuit Filed Seeking Certification of Recall Petition After Review Identifies Tens of Thousands of Wrongly Rejected Signatures The recall committee has been reviewing rejected signatures and gathering evidence for the past 10 months, despite stonewalling by the Los Angeles Registrar of Voters (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, the Recall DA George Gascon Committee filed a lawsuit asking the Court to certify the recall petition for Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon. The lawsuit is the product of a more than 10-month review of rejected signatures, which resulted in the discovery of tens of thousands of valid signatures that were incorrectly or unlawfully rejected, negligent and flawed counting processes utilized by the Los Angeles Registrar of Voters, and an inflated signature requirement due to bloated voter rolls. In July 2022, the Recall Committee submitted an astounding 715,833 signatures in support of the recall petition – 148,976 more than the 566,857 signatures that the Registrar informed the Committee were necessary to trigger a recall election. According to the Registrar, it was the largest local recall petition that the Registrar had ever processed. Over the next month, the Registrar utilized close to 400 people to verify the sufficiency of the Recall Petition – most of whom were temporary workers with no background whatsoever in election law or the Registrar’s computer systems. Ultimately, the Registrar claimed that a remarkable 195,758 supporting signatures – over 27% of the total submitted – were invalid for one of sixteen different reasons. According to the Registrar, the Recall Petition had only 520,050 valid signatures, which it claimed was 46,807 fewer than was needed to qualify for a recall election. Determined to uncover how and why so many signatures were rejected, the Committee exercised its statutory right to review the recall petition. Over the last 10 months, the Committee engaged in a laborious, signature-by-signature assessment of the reasons for the rejection. The review effort required over 140 volunteers and was led by Kathy Cady, Karen Shonka, Marian Thompson, and Cassandra Vandenberg. For nearly a year, the Registrar of Voters tried its best to stymie the review, including blocking reasonable access to the recall petition, blocking access to the voter data needed to evaluate signature rejections, and more. The Committee was forced to seek and obtain a court injunction to get even a modicum of reasonable access to perform their examination of the Recall Petition. What the Committee found when it obtained that access was astounding. Inflated Signature Requirement The Los Angeles Registrar of Voters relied on and required a signature threshold that it knew to be inaccurate. A recall petition must be supported by the signatures of at least 10% of the jurisdiction’s active registered voters to qualify for a recall election. The Registrar told the Committee it needed to obtain 566,857 signatures to qualify the Recall Petition purportedly because the County had 5,668,569 active registered voters at the time. The Registrar, however, knew that this number was wrong. The Registrar has since admitted to the Committee and others (in writing) that Los Angeles County had only 5,438,400 active registered voters at the time – 230,169 fewer than what was originally claimed (exhibit 6 in lawsuit). Furthermore, the Committee has determined that even this calculation included approximately 35,015 voters who should not have been identified as

Just in case you missed it, the United States Supreme Court issued some major decisions this past week: 1. Affirmative Action based on race was knocked out for colleges. You can expect to see this expand into commercial diversity initiative. 2. Biden's reckless Student Loan Forgiveness plan -- a blatant attempt to buy votes -- was killed off as illegitimate. 3. Blasted the LGBTQ+ lawsuit over a web designer's rejection of perverse tyranny. 4. Reversed the United States Postal Service's policy for making a Christian man work on his Sunday Sabbath. And so much more. Despite the obvious ineptitude of Jackson and Sotomayor, both of whom are less than legal scholars, SCOTUS appears to be on the reasonable track to make America great again. -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon

Greetings all: Not sure if you all have received this PDF, so I'm attaching it to this message. What you need to know is that the Radford Studios, bounded by Radford, Ventura and Colfax, are being expended. The studios expect to add -- get this -- 2,200,000 -- square feet of studio, office and creative work space, including parking lots and improvements to the nearby L.A River. There's a ZOOM public hearing on June 15th, if you're interested. While I'm sure there will be the usual whiners an d complainers, the reason I'm sending this to you is to illustrate just how big this project is going to be. Lots of office space. Lots of parking. That means lots more people who will either be commuting or living nearby. Now you know why so many huge apartment complexes have been sprouting up around NBC Universal and along the Lankershim corridor. I'm told that the perpetually stupid high speed rail line will eventually run from NBC Universal to Lancaster, where the studios have long term plans to expand even further. I guess the good news is that those who own homes and condos within a mile radius are going to see those units soar in value. Rentals will, as well. So hang in there! -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon
