David Hernandez San Fernando Valley Community Advocate and Ted Hayes City of Los Angeles Homeless Advocate begin legal action to overturn Proposition R.
WHO: David Hernandez SFV Community Advocate-Ted Hayes City of Los Angeles Homeless Advocate.
WHAT: Attorney representing David Hernandez and Ted Hayes file legal documents to challenge Proposition R.
WHEN: December 11, 2006
WHERE: Los Angeles, CA
David Hernandez a San Fernando Valley Advocate and Ted Hayes a Homeless Advocate in Los Angles have formally begun the legal challenge to Proposition R.
Hernandez who resides in Valley Village is represented by Councilman Jack Weiss who stands to gain an additional four years on the council should Prop. R remain in force.
Hayes who resides in Los Angeles is represented by Councilman Ed Reyes, who is also in a position to gain an extra term should Prop. R go unchallenged.
Attorney Candice E. Jackson of San Marino has filed the “Verified Petition For Writ of Mandate” in Los Angeles Superior court. The challenge is to the constitutionally of the proposition which combined two separate issues in one initiative.
City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo had previously advised the Council against combining the two issues on one initiative measure. Later the Superior court found the combining of two separate issues on one measure violated the state constitution, but the prior Petitioner withdrew his action following the November 7th election.
The named Respondents are the County of Los Angeles, and DOES 1 through 10, inclusive and the Los Angeles City Council and Does 11 through 30. will be served by close of business December 12th.
The case will be assigned to a Judge and the hearing should take place sixteen court days following the service of the parties. The parties will have to respond nine days prior to the hearing.
The measure takes on a twist local to the San Fernando Valley as the passage of the measure has made it possible for former L A City Councilman, and termed-out State Senator Richard Alacron , recently elected to the Sate Assembly, to file papers for a third term on the City Council.
The Legal challenge is being funded by grassroots contributions. A dinner- fundraiser is scheduled for December 13, 2006 at 7:PM at the Sea Food King Chinese Restaurant 20425 Sherman Way, Canoga Park, CA 91303. The guests will include David Hernandez, Ted Hayes and Attorney Candice E. Jackson.
Weekly updates will be issued and a press conference will be held the day of the hearing.

Mortgage delinquencies a rising threat
By MARCY GORDON, AP Business Writer
1 hour, 59 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Mortgage delinquency and foreclosure rates are on the rise, and the impact could be greatest on low-income families that took out higher-interest loans for risky borrowers, some experts said Monday.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said the government wants to issue guidelines to banks and savings and loans that will allow people to get home loans "without taking unnecessary risks."
"Expanding opportunities for more people to buy a home is a good thing. But we do not want Americans to become overextended and see their dream end in foreclosure," Paulson said at a conference on the housing market organized by the Office of Thrift Supervision, a Treasury Department agency.
Some experts are concerned that the increase in mortgage foreclosure rates could affect the banking system's financial health.
There have started to be "early signs of credit distress" in financial institutions' holdings of so-called "subprime" mortgages, especially in California, Richard Brown, chief economist for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., said at the conference.
This is great news!
California leads nation in foreclosures
December 11, 2006 7:09am
California leads the nation in the number of homes going into the foreclosure process with 136,444 so far this year, up 68.5 percent from 80,989 in all of 2005, according to figures compiled by Foreclosures.com, a Fair Oaks-based real estate investment advisory firm specializing in foreclosures.
But quarterly filings appear to have slowed, it says, with “just” 36,051 so far in the fourth quarter, down almost 10 percent from 39,891 in the third quarter.
Overall, housing economics are looking up for the Southwest, according to Foreclosures.com.
The region continues to lead the nation in foreclosures — 329,352 so far this year, up 35.3 percent from the 243,498 for all of 2005. But fourth-quarter filings across the board are down from third-quarter numbers.
“With less than a month left in 2006, we’re seeing real estate markets stabilize. The market correction is waning,” says Alexis McGee, president of ForeclosureS.com, which has been analyzing housing markets since 1992.
“Weak housing markets aren’t over yet, but they’re getting stronger with the help of a drop in unsold inventories and interest rates at 45-year lows,” says Ms. McGee.
All that, however, is of little solace to the nearly 877,000 homeowners nationwide forced into foreclosure so far this year, up 36.9 percent from the 640,454 for all of 2005 and 2006 isn’t over yet.
Many counted on creative mortgages and low teaser rates to buy homes they couldn’t afford, Ms. McGee notes. Now their payments have ballooned, and combined with the generally slow or stagnant home appreciation rates, these homeowners are left with little option but foreclosure.

Study: Less affordable housing in one-third of US cities
By SCOTT SONNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENO, Nev. (AP) - About one of every three of the nation's cities has less affordable housing than they had a year ago, according to a survey the League of Cities released Thursday at its annual Congress of Cities.
Four out of five of the housing directors surveyed in more than 1,000 U.S. cities of all sizes also said the value of homes and rental costs have increased significantly, putting severe financial strain on families, the league's State of America's Cities Survey on Municipal Housing said.
"I drive through parts of cities, like Los Angeles, and I see working people, custodial people, at 10 o'clock at night having to board buses to go 40 miles out into the suburbs because they cannot afford a home," he said.
Fannie Mae files painful restatement
The mortgage firm voids $6.3 billion as it cleans up three years of results after accounting abuses.
From the Associated Press
December 7, 2006
WASHINGTON — Fannie Mae erased $6.3 billion in profit in a long-awaited restatement Wednesday, capping an accounting scandal that stunned financial markets and brought the ouster of top executives and a record fine against the government-sponsored mortgage company.
The correction of its earnings from 2001 through June 30, 2004, ordered by the Securities and Exchange Commission two years ago, was well below Fannie Mae's earlier estimate of $10.8 billion.
“Gigantic” housing bubble in the US could burst in 2008
According to his analysis, published by SA consultants, Rode & Associates, Shilling reckoned it would take a 35% fall to bring house prices back in line with the CPI and a 40% plummet to re-establish the stable level of real quality-adjusted house prices that held in the previous post-second world war era.
“A major decline in US house prices will reduce US consumers’ wealth, which would be devastating for consumer confidence and, hence, spending,” said Rode & Associates CEO, Erwin Rode.
He warns that property contraction would ultimately filter through to company earnings and that could depress US, and international stock markets in general.
“A weakening JSE would, of course, adversely affect local wealth, confidence, and expectations, which would also have ramifications for consumers’ propensity to consume, and hence growth.”
Rode said slower US growth would also result in a deceleration in the Indian and Chinese economies, which would dampen commodity prices.
Yes, this is great news. Hope David is successful. Also, sure would be nice if bloggers would post about the subject at hand....

The current members of the City Council support development. They are responsible for the general plan amendments, zone changes,CRA projects, exceptions, variances, transit systems, and smart growth urban planning both directly and indirectly.
Who do you think puts money into their campaign war chests and pet projects? It isn't the constituents.
It is the developers who run this town with a little help from their friends the City Clowncil members.
Stop Prop R = Get Rid of the current Clowncil members = Stop Development!

An Economic Pillar on the Verge of Collapse
By Steven Pearlstein
Wednesday, December 6, 2006; Page D01
It's been more than a year since we've heard from those who denied there was a housing bubble.
Since then, the industry boosters, along with the "soft-landing" crowd over at the Federal Reserve, have coalesced around the idea that maybe the market got a bit frothy after all, but now the correction is almost complete, the unsold inventory's been worked off and the worst is behind us.
But just when you're feeling hopeful again, you get reports like yesterday's Wall Street Journal piece reporting that delinquency rates are suddenly soaring on all those loosey-goosey subprime mortgages. They are starting to cause real heartburn for pension funds and other investors who bought securities backed by those mortgages on the theory that they were no more risky than a Treasury bond.
Homebuilders Defying Housing Numbers
By David Lee Smith
Mon Dec 4, 2:39 PM ET
A couple of weeks ago, I suited up in my best advice-giving paraphenalia and urged Foolish investors to wait a little longer before buying stock in homebuilders. But as I survey the landscape in which these builders ply their trade, that guidance is becoming progressively more difficult to sustain.
You'll recall that the October building numbers were a disaster. Housing starts fell 15% from September, to a seasonally adjusted rate of 1.49 million units. From October 2005, the decline was 27.4%. At the same time, permits dropped by 6.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.54 million, 28% below October 2005.
When will the decison come down on Prop R lawsuit? AT least David and Ted had the courage to fight for the people. You think the clowncil members are nervous? Wouldn't it be great if David and Ted WON.
Antonio should be a little nervous about this one. No open thread today so here it is:
Two L.A. mayors?
Yaroslavsky plan would create top county executive
Seeking greater unity and accountability, Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky wants to let Los Angeles County voters elect a "mayor" to oversee the nation's biggest county.
Hotel Industry Is Getting Trashed, As Government, Labor And The Press Lambaste Our Reputation | By J. Ragsdale Hendrie
Hello, out there. Anyone home, on deck, at the switch, in charge? Perhaps you are not a reader of the Boston Globe, but they in the past month have taken some sharp shots at our Industry, rousing the public, and basically taking our business into the Public Forum. The message from their editorial pages resonates with outrage and probably echoes, although not so stridently, what is happening throughout other major US cities. The Hotel Industry is under fire, and scrutiny shall not cease with a newly elected Democratic Congress
County considers elected mayor
More accountability seen by supporters
By Troy Anderson Staff Writer
Does Los Angeles County need a mayor?
Some officials have floated a proposal that would create the elected position experts say would be the second-most powerful in California behind only Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The elected mayor would oversee a $21 billion budget and the 100,000 employees who work for the nation's largest county, which has an estimated population of 9.8 million - larger than all but eight states.
Supporters also say the five-member Board of Supervisors cannot effectively address all countywide issues, and that a mayor would increase accountability. Others, however, question the political ramifications.
"That sounds like a pretty powerful office," said political analyst Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a senior scholar at the School of Policy, Planning and Development at USC.
Hey, why did Felipe Fuentes and Cindy Montanez drop out of the council CD 7 race? They say because Alarcon is running and they didn't want go against him. C'mon who knows the "real" reason. WE know it has to be something pollitical.
What I'm seeing on this thread is a classic example of a common political tactic. When a heated issue comes up, elected officials most often don't address it. Instead, they use vague language and talk around the actual topic until they can change the subject. Distract the people....works every time.
Nothing is more a threat to democracy and our rights than intential fraud and deception aimed at the voters - the core of Prop R. The housing situation is appalling, but pales in comparison. Let's get back on topic.
Introduction
IN the early days of English mysticism the first translation of Dionysius’ Mystical Theology was so readily welcomed that it is said, in a quaintly expressive phrase, to have ‘run across England like deere’. Since that time the fortunes of mysticism in these islands have been various, but, despite all the chances of repute and disrepute which it has undergone, there has been a continual undercurrent of thought by which it has been not only tolerated but welcomed. There have been, of course, heights of enthusiasm as well as profound depths of apathy in regard to it, but even if the limitations of the greatest enthusiasm have always been evident, so also has been the continuing readiness of some portion of the religious consciousness of the people to respond to what has been most vital in it. It is, in fact, the hypothesis of mysticism that it is not utterly without its witness in any age, even though the voice of that witness be lost in the turmoil of surrounding things. 1
And now it appears—it has in fact been appearing for some years—that the fortunes of mysticism are mending. It has emerged from the morass of apathy which characterized the eighteenth and the greater part of the nineteenth century; it is reawakening to the value of its own peculiar treasure of thought and word: on all sides there are signs that it is on the verge of entering into a kingdom of such breadth and fertility as it has perhaps never known. It is as though the world were undergoing a spiritual revitalization, spurring it on to experience—even through destruction and death—a further measure of Reality and Truth. 2
At such a time it is of interest to look back over the past and discover something of what has been already accomplished in the way of poetic expression of mystical themes and feelings. The most essential part of mysticism cannot, of course, ever pass into expression, inasmuch as it consists in an experience which is in the most literal sense ineffable. The secret of the inmost sanctuary is not in danger of profanation, since none but those who penetrate into that sanctuary can understand it, and those even who penetrate find, on passing out again, that their lips are sealed by the sheer insufficiency of language as a medium for conveying the sense of their supreme adventure. The speech of every day has no terms for what they have seen and known, and least of all can they hope for adequate expression through the phrases and apparatus of logical reasoning. In despair of moulding the stubborn stuff of prose into a form that will even approximate to their need, many of them turn, therefore, to poetry as the medium which will convey least inadequately some hint of their experience. By the rhythm and the glamour of their verse, by its peculiar quality of suggesting infinitely more than it ever says directly, by its very elasticity, they struggle to give what hints they may of the Reality that is eternally underlying all things. And it is precisely through that rhythm and that glamour and the high enchantment of their writing that some rays gleam from the Light which is supernal. 3
The ways in which mystical experience will translate itself into such measure of expression as is possible must evidently vary, both in kind and degree, with the experience itself. In sending out this anthology we have no desire to venture on a definition of what actually constitutes mysticism and what does not, since such an attempt would be clearly outside our province. Our conception of mysticism must be found in the poetry we have gathered together. But it may serve as a ground for comprehension to say that in making our selection we have been governed by a desire to include only such poems and extracts from poems as contain intimations of a consciousness wider and deeper than the normal. This is the connecting link between them—the thread, as it were, on which the individual pieces are strung. It is less a question of a common subject than of a common standpoint and in some sense a common atmosphere, and our attempt has been to steer a middle course between the twin dangers of an uninspired piety on the one hand and mere intellectual speculation on the other. The claim to inclusion has in no case been that any particular poet is of sufficient importance to demand representation as such, but that a poet of no matter what general rank has written one or more poems which testify to the greater things and at the same time reach a certain level of expression. For similar reasons we have not included the work of any poet when there seemed no better reason for so doing than that he was representative of some particular period or style. 4
It should be remembered, further, that this anthology makes no claim to be representative even of any poet whose work is included, since the great mass of writing by which he or she is commonly known may fall without our limits, and some little known poem or poems may have seemed to answer our requirements. The difficulty of selection has of course been greatest in the cases, like that of Thomas Traherne, where nearly all the poems are definitely mystical, and it is evident that, here and elsewhere, we have been compelled to choose from among many possible pieces. We cannot, therefore, pretend to have made an exhaustive collection of the mystical poetry of the English language or of any poet, but hope rather that our selections may be found to be adequately representative both of the one and the other. 5
Beyond this question of the immediate ground for choice, it may be well to mention the limits we have set ourselves in other direction. We have felt it desirable to admit any poetry written in English, from whatever country the poet may have hailed, as well as any native poetry written in Great Britain and Ireland in some other tongue than English, and subsequently translated. Thus translation from any European language have been excluded, often with very great regret, but translations from the Gaelic have been gladly admitted. In point of time we have set ourselves no limits, but have rather sought to show that the torch of the Inner Light has been handed down from age to age until the present day, when, as we believe, the world is near to a spiritual vitalization hitherto unimagined. 6
We offer our sincere thanks to the following authors for permission to include their own poems: 7

This completes the record of our indebtedness. We would simply add an expression of our regret that it has been impossible to obtain permission to include any of Sidney Lanier’s writing, owing to copyright restrictions. But if we cannot reprint ‘A Ballad of Trees and the Master’, which is the chief object of our regret, we can at least point to it as deserving inclusion in any such anthology as the present, and we can further draw attention to such other poems as ‘The Marshes of Glynn’ and ‘A Florida Sunday’. We would gladly have included all these and even more, but we must now content ourselves with this mention of them. It is with equal regret that we offer a mere extract from George Meredith’s ‘Outer and Inner’, but in his case the rules now laid down for quotation from his poems make it impossible to do him justice. 11
There are a very few poems the copyright-holders of which we have been unable to discover or to trace in spite of repeated efforts. To these unknown owners of treasure we would offer our acknowledgements and our apologies, as to those, if any, whose claims we have unknowingly overlooked.

The withdrawal of Felipe and Cindy is just another example of Parke Skelton playing chess with Latino pawns. Alarcon has many skeletons in his closet, and now it seems as if he has a Skelton too.
Without any competitive drive, Latinos from the San Fernando Valley will continue to be among the most underserved in the city. Have you seen all those Pacoima streets without sidewalks? Every street in El Sereno is paved.
With Alex gone and Alarcon just an incoming Assemblymember, the political power in the valley rested with Tony Cardenas. Parke wouldn't stand for that.
Hey 7:39
"If you will"
What's up in Council Area 14?
Kudos to Monica Rodriguez for having the courage to stay in this race. Cindy and Felipe can learn a thing or two from her. This is what real homegrown, self made leadership is all about. She has an impressive list of endorsements. And since she is better looking than Alarcon, someting Felipe and Cindy were not, she'll make him nervous.
Just wait for the Skelton slime machine to go into action here. Stay in it Monica, the truth will always prevail.
BTW, does Shallman have all that info on the Alarcon flip flop on that oil pipeline (money was involved) and how much money he made from Grapevine? - there is a federal investigation. Ask his ex-wife.
ANON,
DISCREDIT PARKE PUBLICLY AND HOUSE OF CARDS WILL COLLAPSE.
GUARANTEED.
