I’ve been watching these mega apartment buildings go up all over the San Fernando Valley and I have done a little investigating.

The plan is to create dense cities integrating the middle class and the poor again, forcing them to live in apartments where one third of the units are subsidized. These will be built along our new bus lines and will create such horrible traffic that we will be forced to use public transportation, walk, ride bicycles or use golf carts.

Because the traffic will be so bad, big box stores will become a thing of the past. They will put small stores on the bottom floor of the apartment buildings.

If they build that new stadium downtown, they are talking about not providing any parking, forcing public transportation.

It’s just the Greenies trying to get us out of our cars and social engineering.

There is top demand. Many poor people need your compassion and help.

Give these people a break. They work hard and make your life much much better.

Remember the good samaritan!

There’s so much misinformation spreading re: the affordability of housing in CA. Every person who says “housing is now affordable in California” is talking about for-sale housing. Yes, the price of for-sale homes has decreased, but every family that went though a foreclosure is now a renter. The problem today is the lack of SAFE, STABLE rental housing (i.e. apartments). That’s where the shortage exists. And the people who need safe, stable affordable apartments are the people who serve your Starbucks, ring up your groceries, and teach your child’s pre-school class. I recently saw a report that shows the side-by-side comparison of the need for affordable places to live vs. the availability (or supply) of affordable places to live in every single county in CA. Every county has a deficit of affordable rentals for people who wait tables, drive ambulances, or try to make ends meet on a modest budget. There’s an organization (Housing California) that is putting this data into reports for every legislator in the state this fall. The foreclosure crisis happened, and now have a rental-housing crisis. Every Californian that becomes homeless uses more of my tax dollars in services(e.g. emergency rooms and jails) than we’d use to increase the supply of affordable places to live. It’s time to think smarter and put money toward the housing solutions that work, keep homeless people off the street, and make this state a better place to live.

Someday due to poor health, global competition, advanced age, business reversals, investment losses you may need a affordable roof over your head.

I need that roof right now-I was taxed out of my home…….

Who is the California Redevelopment Agency? A state agency that got the axe?
This looks like another one sided slanderous article filled with bogus information. I bet you voted for Obama.
