Wow, the discussion about welfare and homeownership relationship really mind blowing to me.. I thought homeownership is more about social status but it actually very rational
I was evicted. participating with my landlord and in this very program and she brought unlawful detainer against me did not file 120 UD form. she was paid the day after I was physically evicted. the judge denied a retrial and is clearly against the law on two points and the plaintiff and council drought a case that had no standing. I remain homeless my credit score has been damaged and I am seeking Justice after denied retrial. Represented by LCLS California. Again same judge did not follow the law I am a victim of malicious procecution by a landlord that forged my signature on the lease lied under oath...

The Black political Agenda What we want from the political system • In the area of Education • Allow greater community input: give support for The Education agenda and the suggestions it lays out for having an effective curriculum and career focused classes for schools to properly educate our children • Equal school funding: fair funding across the board for all public schools • Support for the creation of new institutions: owned by the community such as private schools community colleges and trade schools • In the area of Economics • Loans and grants: encourage financial backing from major banks for property and business loans. give greater access to government grants, community revitalization funds, FHA, SBA and MBA loan programs that would increase home and business ownership. • Business contracts: Fair access to business contracts from both local and federal governments and corporations • Employment: an increase in employment opportunities from the government and corporations • In the area of Social development • Have an open door policy: Politicians need to meet and listen to the community and its leaders and be willing to work with community political representatives • Address concerns in a timely manner: politicians need to be more attentive and ready to act on behalf of the community especially when it comes to passing reform bills or overturning laws that negatively affect our communities • Give support for social organizations: increase grant funding and encourage corporate donations to organizations that are running effective programs for change in the community It is the responsibility of the community to create a political agenda for our education and economic development. that agenda would then be presented to politicians for their support. Having a well establish political agenda allows us to stay focus on what we Want from the political system no matter who is in office. rather they are black or white democrat or republican, we must make the political system work for us by electing vision minded Politicians into office that supports our agenda. What is needed is political support for an increase in FHA, SBA, MBA loans given to the community for home and business ownership, including government contracts that would help grow businesses and create more jobs. grant funding for social programs to address the issues of education, safety, crime, and drugs. Politicians would be encouraged to pass laws to help the community and to get rid of those laws that negatively affect the community. if we become major donors to both political parties supporting them not only with our vote but also financially, we would achieve our goal of getting the backing of the federal government and their support for the development and upliftment of our communities.
what we should be doing is organizing every black community for education and economic development setting up community governing bodies across the country every black organization should transform themselves into a wealth building and development organization building wealth then share the wealth becoming the biggest owners of properties and businesses in the hood and the biggest employer of black folks in the hood offering black folks opportunities to invest in the purchase and rehab of abandoned buildings and vacant lots and a chance to invest in community businesses and franchises started by the organizations i have a whole plan on how black folks can get this done contact me 😁😁❤check out my vision plan ru-vid.com/group/PLHogsBSipIJil9PHY-gtNu36dNZWSAyth
For those who don't know about the gang injunctions going on in Boyle Heights. The police are targeting & criminalizing minority's and the rate of colored jailed youth is at an all time high. All just so that White privileged hipsters can remove the historically immigrant community.
Really Lady.. you stated "Populism is the abomination of what we have in the white house" You just lost my interest right there. Why the heck are you bringing that up. Your a fool stay on Subject.
People who are overly focused on adding more housing units to Los Angeles, apparently don't mind living on top of other people. If you add 20,000 housing units, you've effectively housed perhaps 100,000 more people who can then move into LA. BUT, they're doing it at the expense of existing residents, who's property rights are being stolen by a corrupt City Government selling Zoning & Usage Variances (City Council Members & Mayor Garcetti take 'campaign donations' from real estate Developers' lobbyists in backroom deals hidden from the public, which the Developers pay to get the Council to vote to grant exceptions to the Zoning Laws everyone else abides by, and that existing homeowners fairly assumed would not be routinely violated when they purchased their properties). This discussion completely bypasses the real issue, which is that Los Angeles is a City that exists and takes it's unique character from the 'Car Culture', it's not NYC where Manhattan is a cluster of high rises with no open space, and a subway transit system that moves millions of riders per year. Therefore there IS A DEFINED UPPER LIMIT to the population density which can be borne by Los Angeles without degrading the California lifestyle which is LA's primary selling point. Identify what the principal driver is for over-building in Los Angeles. While LA City Officials are endlessly greedy to have every additional cent of tax revenue from each new property that's developed... and Developers are endlessly greedy to drive land values ever higher by knocking down existing buildings to put up bigger, higher density, luxury properties... a continuous unregulated increase in the population density of the City is an unsustainable policy. Full-stop. If the 14 million living in the LA Metro area now is increased to 28 Million over the next 30 years, the City is then being changed in a way that is destructive. No sane person would choose that, unless we want to eventually be living in a post-apocalyptic hell hole such as the bleak futuristic Los Angeles depicted in the movie 'Bladerunner'. Corrupt elected officials have already significantly degraded the City of Los Angeles with the increased population & traffic density imposed on current residents in the name of providing housing for people that don't even live here, but just 'want to' live here. The real estate developers are the only ones benefitting, along with the corrupt politicians gathering up donations from those developers in a massive 'pay-to-play' conflict of interest scandal. Politicians survive ONLY on money, its needed to beat down their opponents at election time, making them fundamentally vulnerable to special interests offering campaign donations. It's the fertile ground of corruption. Our elected officials in the City are destroying the character & livability of Los Angeles, and simultaneously robbing current residents of their property rights by allowing excessive traffic & population density by CIRCUMVENTING OUR ZONING & LAND USE LAWS. There is no grey area here, politicians are greed driven and self-interested, and exploiting their elected offices to fill their own pockets at the expense of community residents. Zoning ordinances are made law IN ORDER TO PROTECT the community, but our corrupt politicians are bypassing zoning laws. Every single City Council member and the Mayor should be removed from their over paid positions. The Mayor makes $250k per year, more than the Governor, more than the President. But greed is an endless thing in politics, Garcetti having every intention of abandoning LA (after he's robbed it) to get into the Governor's office in 2018 as it becomes vacant, or failing that, to get into the US Senate, when 83 year old Diane Feinstein hangs up her liberal cleats. The residents of LA, who expected to elect a leader who would protect & nurture their City, instead got a rapacious, selfish aspiring career politician who doesn't care at all about the Community residents of LA, or the long-term future of their City.
