Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Friday
CommentaryWatching the City Council meeting Wednesday, I saw Zuma Dogg and Don Garza surrounded by a sea of angry protesters. Stirred up by rabblerouser leftist group ACORN (an investigation into their funding is in order) lots of poor people demanded the city provide them with housing. Of course instead of actually getting off their asses to do something to improve their lot in life.
Lots more if you click read more!
Less than ten years ago this old dead Republican Mayor lived in what could be considered a step above a hovel, a two room apartment (depending if you counted the hall to the bathroom or not) in Valley Village. By working hard and advancing in my job, I was able to eventually move to a small but comfortable one bedroom flat on the northern edge of Sherman Oaks. Today, I live in a comfortable, spacious, amenities packed condo sized two bedroom two bath unit luxury unit in the heart of the NoHo Arts District. The rent alone is five times what I originally paid at that old single in Valley Village. The City of Los Angeles - nor any other government agency - did not make this possible.
Property owners have a right to gain the maximum return on their investment as possible. And that should be whether its converting to condos, gentrifying (an emotionally and politically charged word that used to mean "fixing up.") or taking their property off the rental market. They have the moral responsibility to be good citizens and keep their property well maintained (which by the way the overwhelming percentage of property owners do because the property is their ASSET) and to provide good service to residents - their customers. Anything else is between the owner and the renter and the government has no business sticking their nose in.
I don't understand why, but there is a notion that if you rent a piece of property, it's yours forever. It's my sincere wish that the City stops its slide towards socialism and lets private property owners enjoy the fruits of their labor. Otherwise there will be less and less "affordable housing" available for our residents.

Reading your disconnected rants, it's hard to tell whether you are joking (in a Stephen Colbert-style), really stupid, or just extremely cruel. I'm leaning toward a combination of the latter two.
A wise man once said:
We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.
you guys know who that was. Our City Council has unwittingly signed their own death warrants by the people- figuratively I mean . I hope not literally.
They must hang together or assuredly they will hang separately. I don't forsee them hanging sepa ratley though. They are proving to be the vain of the people and once people are thrown onto the streets and the laws do not allow people to sleep on the streets anymore and also the ACLU has fought for our right to sleep on the streets if the homeless have not anywhere to go. Assuredly I say , that the people will revolt.People making 50,000 a year will become homeless. They do not see themselves as such , but in this city they will eventually see themselves living on the streets . If not already.
I don't think this city has much more time. It is falling apart , the people are enraged and our City Fathers continue to play the same games they have always played.
I believe in the property ownership also , but we need to come to terms with the fact that in this city renters out number homeowners and the peons are in an uproar , the serfs you might say.
All I see is confusion. IF this city council does not get it together and grow a pair and get the money that rigtfuly belongs to it from the STATE and the Federal Governements, I am afraid that they eventually will be hanging from lam post or at the most , prosecuted because this city ate itself from within and people died and homes burned to the ground.
I am not joking nor kidding.
When the People of skid row , live in a downtown , where they have to walk ove r 1.5 miles to get to the grocery stores. NO DASH bus connections in skid row , the fare hikes will abandon those in the periphery who come here to partake of the services and stranding them in the surrounding communities and the people here will be stranded here , dependant on the missions to feed us. MOm and pop stores charge over 3 dollars for one measley sandwich.
It is only a matter of time and I do beleive the the time is running out
but I sure do love yelling in the Peoples HOuse.
when you see the poor running to the ramparts of westlake village to the hills of bel-air and the hills of hollywood , you can blame your liberal fools for not letting you have your firearms.
It is going to get ugly folks. And I won't be leading them. I will be on my knees praying for peace.
About how many of these impoverished people are illegal aliens?
in skid row. The majority are American citizens . That is also another paradox and irony in this situation. The majority of people in skid row are American Citizens and many of them are disabled veterans. Seniors who live in these SRO,s worked all their lives and now collect their social security. It is a sad state of affairs.
I think it can all be explained
on May 1st' so called "The Great American Boycott II" downtown.
As I strained to see the NOTICE in the middle of Temple St. on my way to work, I jotted down the phone number to find out why the streets will be closed.
MAY 1 annual
COMMUNIST BRAINWASHING FESTIVAL
...doesn't anyone know this:
What else is new?
Sam, allow me to point out that your buddy Zuma is an advocate of the fact that the tenants don't get enough "relocation costs" and that people are being displaced without owners complying with the asinine rules for resdistribution of the their wealth.
I agree with you that rent control and all related regulation is ultimately harmful to a municipality. It lowers the value of property and turns it into slums because owners do not maintain the property in the manner they otherwise would if there were no rent controls.
But, as we all know, as soon as the people learn they can vote themselves money, a democracy declines, and this is the beginning of the decline in our cities.
Why would anyone build something into a controlled market? All you get is speculators buying, and finding ways to opt out of the controls. And, deferred maintenence.
If all rent controls were removed, people would move to housing where they could afford it, and all property in the city would gain in value, and the tax rolls would swell with increased values. Services could be restored.
Think it will happen in LA? I don't.
Sam,
Hey! Good for you buddy. I'm really glad you moved from somewhere that sucked into somewhere spacious with amenities. O.K. PEOPLE -- NO EXCUSE YOU FOR ANYMORE. Mayor Sam did it. And if HE did it, then THE REST OF YOU CAN DO IT, and it not...you're fault, Charlie.
MEANWHILE SAM- ARE YOU GONNA SIT THERE AND PRETEND THE CITY ISN'T OPERATING UNLAWFULLY REGARDING THIER HOUSING POLICY?
WHEN THE CITY STOPS VIOLATING CHARTER LAW -- OR UNTIL THEY CHANCGE LAWS -- FOLLOW THEM CITY OF LOS ANGELES:
AND SAM, go back and read all y posts and LISTEN to MY public comment, you just commented on.
Hey Sam, Donald Trump is in your line of work...HE made a billion dollars already. He just aksed me, "How come Sam didn't make a billion dollars?" JUST BECAUSE YOU DID SOMETHING, DOESN'T MEAN EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T IS WRONG, OR THE OTHER GUY IS RIGHT.
AND BRO, what if you found out that Councilmembers were approving condo permits FRAUDULENTLY! Are you gonna blame THAT on Don Garza dn ZD?
Hern Wesson said..."There are ways to get your point across. I don't know how well their point was received," said Councilman Herb Wesson.
HEY HERB...YOU DON'T KNOW HOW WELL THEIR MESSAGE WAS RECIEVED? THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
IF someone walks in in a suit and tie witt a breifcase you don't recieve the message, either.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW WELL THEIR POINT WAZS RECEIVED? I TELL YOU WHAT HERB, I'LL MAKE SURE TO CLARIFY IT FOR YOU.
HERB WESSON YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT -- you're compalining about the messanger instead of the message -- you just pissed of Zuma Dogg, and now the gloves are of-- I couldn't care less if you like me or not, please don't say hello to me next time you see me, so it will be easier for me to take you down politically, HERB, cause now, you just bought yourself one ZD PROBLEM, bro (you antonio clone/puppet...AND YOU"RE STILL GONNA BE DOING WHAT WE"RE TELLING YOU TO DO ANYWAY --
JUST LIKE Noel Weiss 9&17, you're gonna adhere to vacancy law, and build the affordable housing...so go take a smoke and don't receive the message.
Higby don't listen to that fat loser Don Garz-cum. Here's a son of a bitch who is lacking in the self control and self respect to put down the fucking breakfast burrito, donut and tamale pie long enough to get himself back to where he wants to be. An asshole like this does this to his body, claims he can't work to wit he expects you to pay his rent, food bill, medicine, etc.
I say fuck that lets have a revolution of the working people against lazy good for nothing fatasses like Don who suck off other people. He ain't fat but throw in Dave Elliot too.
Even the illegals work most of these lazy ass fuckers are citizens mostly black and white who are the absolute lowest common denominator of their own races. Most Latin people are proud and work hard. The ones that don't like Garz-cum are an embarrassment to us. Soon even the illegals are going to wake up to the bill of goods the Lat-TEE-No Democrats and the church have sold them. Fuck that.
Garz-cum lose some weight you fucking fatass and get a job. Can you believe this pendejo is homeless by choice?
Be careful Mayor Sam your opinions will get you on a list with ACORN and they'll probably sue you like McEntire.
Once again.... Jaime Green is a registered sex offender.
That is all I have to say . So Jaime Green I know that is you the anonymous poster above calling me names.
It isn't going to work. You have been busted. Name calling isn't going to work and you are busted.
Folks it for me it isn't about eating. I Get prednisone intravenously for an illness that is destroying the myelin surrounding my nerves. I have finished learning how to build websites and will soon be doing that to try and make a living. I am doing my best. But , people knowing that I do have a problem subsisiting off of partly from a veterans pension from the VA , well you know how to get my goat. I am permananently disabled , not of my own choice . I put off getting the VA disability and the social security disability , because I was too proud , but my body kept me from working no matter how much I tried. I have gone to school , but people do not hire folks who are permananently disabled and their healthcare costs are expensive. SO I have decided to try another route. Activism and now a businees in which I can be at home connected to the oxygen concentrator and not have to worry about deadlines and bosses and I can make my own time and do it from home. But I am a grown up so I am not going to go and hide because of this. I earned mine in combat. I earned my combat action ribbon.
I am a disabled veteran who has earned mine. MOre than JAime Green the sex offender who was appointed by Brady Westwater to the Downtown Los ANgeles NEighborhood Council. ONce I exposed him he was forcefully removed by the board and is not allowed to head or chair any committees by the new administration.
But let me put it this way. Jaime Green , registered sex offender. Because I know it is you. You are the only person who has the indecency to write stuff like that.
It doesn't bother me. What if I was skinny what then?
Hate that you throw out there anonymously doesn't work. People know about the type of hate you send out.
NO... Lateenos do not have a problem with me. AS a matter of fact I will be teaching lot's of my neighbors how to build websites too, now that I can, so we all can find a way to become self-reliant.
No amount of weight loss will end the suffering I am going through. Although this year , now that it is finally the hotter season I may lose another 40 lbs and maybe try and drop even more.
So sticks and stones may break my bones but words may never hurt me.
And no I am not homeless by choice . Nor are the thousands of people living in shelters , in their cars , or cheap sros, who are making 75,000 dollars a a year in both LA County and Orange County.
It hurts some people when we expose this fact to others that homeless is no longer the bum we stereotypically think they are.
BY the way ,do you know what prednisone does to people when it is given intravenously. Can you say blow up like a balloon.
No ,I will not shut up. I am an American. I even have combat awards to prove it.
And I don't hide behind my words like cowards on this board.
But I already know that the only person who has done this in the past and the person who writes this is Jaime Green because it is is own signature pattern. He spams people , with those types of ads. The ISPS have had many complaints from the places he spams that type of crap.
The reason JAime Green can only try and discredit me on these boards through the use of public opinion is because he can not take me to court , because in order to defame someone it has to not be true. Well, for Jaime Green . It is true. HE is a registered sex offender. And I exposed him and now he can't volunteer in communities near young , teenage latino boys anymore. Places such as Festival de LA Gente in October.
All of downtown has pictures of him and now are aware of his status.
He knows that the truth hurts. But sociopaths such as himself are going to continue to try and discredit the people who have exposed him even after JAime Green have been caught once again doing those evil deeds that they do. It is the nature of the socio-path.
Anyway. I should be down 100 lbs by august. So when the weight issue comes up again I hope you can find something else.
Also , because of the prednisone treatments I now have diabetes , not because of eating or being overweight , this is a side effect of those treatments , it sucks.
So why do I have to justify myself?
I don't.
SO continue to hide behind your anonymous posts , because that is the only way you do business ,which for all intents and purposes proves a point.
ZUMA DOGG IS GAY??????
He really has a crush on Herb Wesson!
Don Garza has a crush on Jamie Green.
Get a life and stop complaining Don. The government owes you nothing.
The police should be in there protecting the homeless- not arresting them for broken windows bullsh*t. Police need to act more in a security fashion, and handcuff only ACTUAL serious offenders, before transportation.
Federal Court Judge Pregerson was right, LAPD acted unconstitutionally.
just like the mayor
I guess it does all start at the top. and the bottom line has to be they're getting bad legal advice. the mayor's probably a nice guy, after all, its not his fault they talked him into an appeal on AB 1381
thank us for going hard against Prop H too. ZD claims he was the 5%difference, but I'm claiming at least a point of that...
:)
10:33AM
ZD 5% difference my ass. According to 9:22AM
Zuma Dogg is too busy being gay.
So another illegal alien march is set for 5/1. Good. The more they march, the more Mexican flags they wave, the lower their support goes with American citizens and those who are waiting in line to legally immigrate.
So what if he's gay...are you interested...his number is posted. If you dont want to date him, we have seen enough of this. We understand what YOU THINK about people who YOU THINK are gay. You dont like them.....Have you been as anonymus with your friends and co-workers about your feelings...I'm sure they would like to know..!.Its illegial you know. Unless both of you have been together and PHYSICALLY ENGAGED having an illegial sex act together KNOCK IT OFF!
10:56AM
ARE YOU GAY LIKE ZUMA DOGG?
DID NOY MEAN TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS!
The Mexicans who wave their flags are simply telling those red necks that they are here to stay regardless of our joke laws in the federal level.
I guess we just have to get use to it and mix the breed since white people are not producing kids as they should.
SOON it will be:
THE UNITED STATES OF LATIN AMERICA.
NO MORE JETSONS OR FLINSTONES.
Report suspicious activity on 5/1:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
1-866-347-2423
11:34
You think they care most of the officers enforcing the borders are now LATINOS.
GOOD LUCK!
11:42, that statment is meaningless. American Latinos are just as aversely affected by illegal immigration as blacks and whites. Get a life.
12:15 get a life means what?
5/1 is a day to CELEBRATE for IMMIGRANTS & WEALTHY AMERICANS.
While you bitch and complain whealty Americans will keep hiring immigrants to make more profit & dollars. Consumers like you are too stupid to notice and/or pay more for what you eat, shit and wear.
Politicians and Business Owners do not care about idiots like you.
LETS CELEBRATE ON 5/1 for the future of
THE UNITED STATES OF LATIN AMERICA
ZUMA DOGG IS GAY?????
'participation' in the process is one of the things that makes you American. so I support the march and I expect you'll see a lot of stars and stripes.
Jefferson endowed those marchers with rights. the right to due process. that 'process' will kill the courts and let aggravated crimes go unpunished, when it all bogs down in deportation proceedings for thousands of people. Like it or not, reality is indicating that those people that you see in this march, they are here to stay. Figure out a way to legalize them and have them pay taxes. take race and nationality out of it.
12:48 you are wrong. I AM willing to pay more in order to keep America, America. Tyson Chicken may not care about the future of this country, but when execs start serving time for hiring illegal aliens, they'll stop breaking the law.
1:20pm lets pay $12.99 for a Big Mac Combo at McDonalds and $10.00 for a gallon of milk etc, etc.
You think the executives give a crap of our country.
Call the GE Executive and ask him what he thinks of the American workers. Ask him why they rather set up shop in INDIA and screw our working Americans.
It's all about GLOBALIZATION and that includes IMMIGRANTS from all over the World.
Executives do not give a shit of our useless laws they have the money to buy themselves out ask the politicians.
KEEP DREAMING!
Re-read my comment - I said THEY DON'T CARE, which is why we need workplace enforcement.
I'm not convinced that the increase in prices would be so dramatic. Let's see those profit margins, Tyson Chicken. Paying workers less doesn't necessarily lead to lower prices for consumers.
The market will stabilize things quite nicely.
Read Timmon of Athens and you will find out what my philosophy is as far the government owing me anything.
ALSO the correct spealling for the registered sex offender is : JAIME ORENSE GREEN , dtLAjaime , jogreenus ,. etc .
Remember Jaime, No matter how you try and misspell the name and get people to spell it that way.
It is JAIME GREEN . JAIME. you can't hide anymore.
Also , a well known Registered sex offender blog has posted his name , offenses and pictures. Isn't this exciting.
The truth always comes out in the end JAIME
on another point anonymous ,you do raise a chilling point. If there is a revolution in Los Angeles , there will be many illegal aliens being a part of it. And that is called an invasion . Technically!!!! And the United States has the right to defend it's integrity as far as it's borders.
ZUMA DOGG IS STILL GAY?????
whats wrong in it Mayor Sam, dont you think the citizens of this country deserve equal housing opportunities and most get. after all you give them the opportunity, they will mess it up as always and you end up paying for both the buidling and cleanup this is a cool deal, interestingly left things the whole country is crippled and they are gonna build up USA from scratch, good thats a good gesture, but they should invest their own money to do so, not our taxpayers... wat a mess it is indeed.
5:54pm
I couldn't agree you better. Since THOSE WETBACKS FROM EUROPE invaded our lands in the Western Hemisphere our lands will always be up for grabs.
First those rednecks along with the blacks. Know those latinos and asians. Whats next aliens from outerspace.
^
Good to see those Cal State/affirmative action bachelor degrees in action.
8:14 - My kind of guy!
What the media fails to report is there are thousands of Latinos in this city who are against the illegals and there march. They are arrogant and demand the same rights as those who are here legally. Why haven't they filed for citizenship? Because they want a free pass like all the free services they get. Go downtown and look how bad it has gotten with illegals. Broadway is as bad as being in Tijuana. And every illegal on the street is pregnant because they get more free services. They hve made this city look like a 3rd world country, move in all their families in 2 bedrooms apts., trash the neighborhoods, kids are in gangs, so is it any wonder people are sick and tired of their whining? Gee, they have so much power with their marches that not a damn thing has been done to help them has it? Even the politicians are backing off on Capitol Hill. Let's see which idiot LA electeds are stupid enough to be out there with them.
ACORN is Antonio's baby. They're the ones who went to Sacramento with him PAID to fight for LAUSD takeover. Wonder how much that cost? They are a radical, uneducated group of people who can't think for themselves and do whatever a politician or one of the MECHA leaders they have tell them. They are used and are clueless
8:39AM
I couldn't agree with you better.
Doesn't LA remind you of New York and Chicago. It is repeated just like when those WETBACKS CROSSED THE ATLANTIC OCEAN from England, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Portugal etc. etc.
SAME OLD SHIT!!!!!
ZUMA DOGG IS GAY??????
1:40p.m.=s ATTENTION WHORE
5:25pm
ZUMA DOGG IS A GAY WHORE????
He charges $6.99 for each quicky.
Nobody really cares if Zuma Dogg is gay or straight. I wish you would stop typing it. You are seriously jumping up and down on my last nerve.
You Hispanic Haters make me sick. I agree that the rednecks of the country are the only ones who feel so strongly about Hispanics. Most of them can't trace their roots past their relatives in West Virginia (or Oklahoma) who bred with their relatives from Kentucky (or Texas).
You don't even have your facts straight about the rights of illegal immigrants. You definitely don't have your facts right about the parents of illegal immigrants.
Lighten up. Chill. Absorb yourself in their culture. They're just trying to make better lives for themselves like your former ancestors did when they came here. I hope yours weren't treated as badly as you want to treat Hispanics. Although it's probably a deeply rooted brain quirk in your family that allows you to harbor such ill well toward other humans. It's probably not your fault.
If illegal immigrants break laws, they should be deported. Our borders should be as strong as any other country. It should be as hard to get into the U.S. as it is for Americans to get into France or anywhere else.
American capitalistic companies should stop outsourcing their jobs to China, India and wherever else those telemarketers are or those who fix your cable from the Phillipines.
Costco in Mexico has the same prices as they do here in Los Angeles. Perhaps Costco should share some of their profits considering they don't pay their employees the same they pay them here. The same can be said for any other manufacturing company who decides to move their business to another country.
That is who you (racist hater of all non whites) should be concentrating your wrath on. The companies who are moving their jobs away from here. Not at the immigrants who are coming here to escape their corrupt countries. It's bad enough the poor people don't realize that our government is just as corrupt as theirs and yes - it was like that before we had a Mexican mayor.
Go to Iowa. You won't hear any illegal immigration talk. Go to Minnesota. It's not an issue there either. If you visit Indiana or Wisconsin at election time, you will not hear the phrase illegal immigration come up at all. It is only here, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Florida that this is really an issue.
We have room for everyone here. Everyone but racists and hatemongers. For you we have no place. Sorry.
I'm lily white and blonde, so don't accuse me of being an "educated" Latino because you'll just look worse.
1:53AM = WELL SAID!
BUT,
ZUMA DOGG IS STILL GAY?????
ACORN=A bunch of nuts.
