Apartment Choice

Another ‘nonsensical’ proposal from Levine Assemblyman Marc Levine reminds me of that absurd bobble-head dog in the back of my grandmother’s Buick. Ever-present, he is reliably nonsensical in both logic and form. His most recent grand idea to create yet another corporate tax to generate revenue for affordable housing is destined to become one more unworkable scheme of the very same California government that cannot even afford to provide its citizens with a decent level of basic services, due in large part to the graft, cronyism and vote-buying that pervades the entire system. And Levine’s plan provides the added bonus of making California an even more inhospitable environment for job creation. While California government coffers swallow money with reckless abandon, the state can barely provide even sub-par services. Levine remains perfectly content to spread California’s tax spoils to the politically well-connected and a panoply of poorly managed, highly wasteful (and often counte...

Grassroots efforts to establish rent control in more California cities could get a boost from the California Apartment Association ’s decision to abandon its lawsuits seeking to overturn voter-approved rent-control laws in Richmond and Mountain View. The association, which represents landlords, posted on its website late Friday that it has “suspended its legal efforts” to overturn Measure V in Mountain View and Measure L in Richmond. “I hope it emboldens other communities to not be chilled by threats of lawsuits,” said Juliet Brodie, a Stanford Law School professor who helped draft Measure V. Judges in Santa Clara and Contra Costa counties had previously ruled against the association’s motions for preliminary injunctions seeking to halt implementation of the measures approved by each city’s voters in November. A full hearing on the merits of the case in Richmond had been scheduled for May 24; that is now canceled. The association claimed, and still believes, that the laws cons...

When American doctor Stephen Yoon thinks of North Korea, he does not think of ballistic missile tests or the threat of nuclear war. He remembers instead a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, who suffered from spastic quadriplegia that made her unable to stand or sit. Five years ago, she went to Yoon's developmental-disability program at Pyongyang Medical University Hospital , where she received treatments from Yoon and his team of local doctors. After almost a year of exercise therapy and some surgeries, she walked out of the hospital on her own. The event was heralded in North Korean state media as a national victory, but it received no notice in the U.S., where few people even know about the roughly 200 Americans like Yoon who work and live under the rule of Kim Jong Un. Carefully monitored by the regime, they have come and gone for years, doing educational, medical or infrastructural work, and sometimes raising families in a nation that has been officially at war with the ...

They were the seven days that shook the world, from the death of Princess Diana to her funeral at Westminster Abbey.  In this poignant series to mark the 20th anniversary, Jonathan Mayo reconstructs those momentous events as they happened though the eyes of Royal Family members , politicians, the Princess’s family, and a heartbroken public . . . Monday, September 1, 12.15am Paris time/ 11.15pm UK time  Jill and Ernie Rees-Jones are walking down the Champs-Élysées in Paris to get some air. Their son Trevor, the Princess’s bodyguard and sole survivor of the crash that killed her, is lying unconscious in the nearby Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital. There is huge media and public interest in Trevor’s recovery, as his memories may unlock the cause of the crash. Suddenly a car races towards them, and Ernie pushes Jill out of its way just in time. He kicks the car as it passes and yells at the driver. But Jill can see the funny side: if she’d been hit, she could’ve ended up in a bed next to Trev...

Quizzes Lists Topics Save The River Terrace Apartments is an apartment building located at 7700 East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. [1] River Terrace Apartments was one of the first two garden apartment complexes built in Michigan which used loan guarantees from the Federal Housing Administration , the other being Hillcrest Village in East Lansing. [2] History By the late 19th century , the corridor along East Jefferson Avenue had become a prestigious residential neighborhood . As the automobile age dawned in the twentieth century and Detroit's population boomed, large upscale apartment buildings were constructed along the Avenue. However, this boom in apartment construction collapsed at the start of the Great Depression. However, in 1939, Wesson Seyburn, along with Leonard P. Reaume, of the property management firm of Holden & Reaume, applied for a building permit to construct this apart...
