REAP Program Used to Flip Properties for Developers?

Mayoral candidate David "Zuma Dogg" Saltsburg hints that there could be a coming Federal investigation of the City's Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP).  The program's original intent was to allow renters of housing with deferred maintenance to direct rent payments towards the cost of repairs.

In an interview with the Sister City, Saltsburg said that properties are put into the REAP program because the City claims some level of repairs must be made.  However, the law does not allow owners to make modest increases to rent to cover the cost of repairs.  Saltsburg said "Most of these renters are paying about $400 a month in rent.  They'd likely have no issue paying $500 a month to make the repairs and guarantee they have a place to live.  If the property is seized and the residents evicted they're not likely to find replacement housing in LA anywhere near what they were paying."

However, Saltsburg claims that City leaders could be using the program to force mostly middle class and elderly investment property owners into selling the older properties at a song to politically connected developers who are seeking the land for constructing upscale income housing.  In the last several days owners of these properties have come before the Council stating that their properties have been essentially stolen from them under the program.

Saltsburg has been saying for several days that for some reason Council President Eric Garcetti has become frustrated when the Mayoral candidate attempts to discuss the REAP program during open public comment at City Council meetings and has taken steps to silence Saltsburg. 

Saltsburg also told me the Mayor and Council President often claim to be pro-business and advocates for low-income housing.  He asserted that flies in the face of what's happening with the REAP program in that not only are the small investors losing their properties but of course the residents are being evicted.

Stay tuned.

Zuma is not stupid. Others know that almost every time a property is taken over, it goes to developers especially in CD14
and CD1. Garcetti is responsible, but not as much as Huizar and Reyes.

I wasn't going to mention this but...

Some people ask why I cover Zuma Dogg and not so much the other candidates.

It's the same reason why I cover anything - the content is out there for me to use.

So far the Mayoral candidates have given me very little information but when I get it, I post it.

So when I asked Walter Moore why I hadn't heard from him nor had seen any postings on my blog he told me that because he assumed I was supporting Zuma Dogg (who he referred to as "the economist") he stopped sending me his campaign newsletter.

That's Walter's choice and a poor one in my view but it's up to him.

So if Walter isn't doing like other folks such as Zuma Dogg, Nick P, Wendy Greuel, Adeena Bleich, Phil Jennerjahn, Robin Ritter Simon and others sending me their press releases how the hell can I cover him?

I've also put out that if any candidates have media appearances they want to plug, send them over.

I can't help it if Zuma Dogg is on top of his game when it comes to marketing.

You get cut off at city council because you're a rude, crude, vulgar, intentionally offensive and downright abusive person who clearly violates the standards of decency of any society and this council. You also waste OUR taxpayer dollars by taking up so much time on a daily, weekly, monthly basis that they should be spending on real taxpaying constituents' needs.

Problem isn't that they cut you off but that they haven't more often. Wish they'd have grown some like the County Supervisors, where you don't DARE pull your crap. But when Eric lets you rant on long as you have, even cuts you extra slack like last week, instead of being grateful you demand more, more every day. Look at the ragtag bunch of guys standing behind you -- the high school dropouts who were like you the foul-mouthed kids made to sit in the principal's office for their behavior, now can't believe that you're having the nerve to actually run for mayor and Stewart at the Weekly and her minions are actually playing you up just to spite city hall. Okay, you're a protest candidate for the losers: the rest of us aren't amused.

EXACTLY what I have been telling people about Walter Moore. I was also on his emailing list. ( Just to keep track of what issues are being concentrated on by all the candidates.)

But as soon as I made the ballot, I was also "whacked" from his little Christmas Card list.

Typical of his "take my ball and go home" type of attitude. Mean spirited, petty, and selfish.

Poor attitude.
Poor cooperation skills.
Poor leadership.
Poor candidate.

Support him at your own risk.

I am sick and tired of his whining little side comments...especially about Antonio Villaraigosa not passing the bar exam.

WHO CARES. Let it go.

It didn't stop Antonio from becoming Mayor

Walter's superior legal skills didn't help him one bit in the 2005 election.

If indeed he was a candidate that was campaigning in earnest, I'd buy your point of view. But, take a look at what he did in a real life opportunity situation; he took the McIntyre opportunity and tried to promote his clown act.

Really, let's spend more time on city issues and less time on your buddy.

Yeah, the segment with Doug was pretty short, and just as the intros were over and Doug had me briefly explain who I was, it was over. I have had longer and better calls addressing the issues on Doug's show, just calling in on my cell phone. But it was fun and a real treat for me to head down tot he station and sit in on the show "in-studio" after listening for so many years!

I told Doug before the segment started that I wanted to discuss Measure B., but again, it turned out to be pretty short.

I'm not going to turn any new listeners into ZD voters off that short segment, but as someone who Doug's KABC audience already knows, after years of calls into the station, across all dayparts, it at least let all the people who already know ZD, and what he stands for as a public advocate (city hall gadfly, radio caller, blogger, etc.) that I am on the ballot. AND I DEFINITELY WAS OPENING UP WITH THE GENE SIMMONS, "Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaah..." from the Gene Simmons mask, era. I've done more to alert the masses on the issues you are saying I didn't have time to mention today, as a private citizen, than any single individual in the history of this city, from what people tell me...so don't trip crybaby...Meanwhile, I still got in a plenty good "heat" rant, and Doug followed up on what I said (saying I was right) in the next segment.

--------------

And Phil, will you knock it off. Don't you feel ridiculous posting stuff like that about me, when you have called me so many times, and you talk to me at the council meetings.

Bro, you just started coming around when it was time to put names on the ballot...people reading here, know what I have been doing for the past three years...so it's more of a bad reflection on you, when you "go there." But it's especially hilarious since you introduced yourself to me in person, then called me so many times, and talk to me at the meetings, the few times you have showed up. Don't be a two-faced phony. Don't you have some "entertaining" to do, Mr. Extra. What will you be doing on March 4th? Will we still be seeing you at City Hall. And by the way, besides commenting on me, how about some platform, y'all?

Hey folks, Phil was seriously asking me about Eric Garcetti, and if I really thought he was shady, cause he looks like a pretty nice guy. So Phil is a little naive.

So, Saltsy Dogg sez:

"They'd likely have no issue paying $500 a month to make the repairs and guarantee they have a place to live.

ZD once again talks out of his filthy hat, and knows nothing of which he speaks.

(And Higby, is "just posting it because it's OUT THERE for me to use.") The TRUTH is "out there" too, Einstein, but you're not trying to print that. Truth doesn't have a very good Flak, that's while real journalists, ethical bloggers, and communicators GO LOOKING for it, rather that waiting for the shit that rolls downhill to them.

I'd like to see the stocking-capped little troll, as a campaign tactic, go approach these low income renters and tell them he has a great PLAN to immediately increase all their rents by 25 percent to make sure that $100 a month's worth of repairs are made to their apartments. (What's that, new shower head in Feb., new deadbolt on the door in March?)

ZD lives in a "VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER" (see Chris Farley), because he's a bum and doesn't like to work, or probably can't keep a job -- so his poverty is self induced, but most people who have to use this level of housing don't have other choices, NOR do they just happen to have an extra $100 a month lying around waiting for ZD to find some good use for it. ("That's okay, Zuma, we'll just buy cheaper caviar this year").

And, of course, out-of-touch Zuma boosters like the people who automatically post his "OUT THERE" comments on this blog, simply copy his insanity verbatim, as if it makes sense, because, of course, EVERYONE has an extra $100 buck a month to put towards higher rent that would basically be a GIFT the owner -- giving the OWNER a property that's WORTH more to them, but for which the peasants shelling out the extra $100 get NO EQUITY.

While you're just putting it OUT THERE for the ZD crampaign, did you ever think of QUESTIONING any of this BS, Higby?

Does anyone every notice how many dozens of properties are RELEASED from the REAP program during each council month, because they HAVE made the necessary repairs with the rents provided?

All this is basic public record, on the same agendas where the Dogg pulls up and screams about "fee waivers". You don't even have to go digging.

OH, and ZD, if you do approach those $400-a-month renters about the extra $100 for your master plan (that'll come right out of money they use to buy dog food for grandma to eat), you don't even have to go door-to-door. You can just text them on their i-Phones.

HOOO, ha. . . yutzes all!

I am really disappointed in you Zooma Dogg. You work so hard to get your time at council, and should have lept right into the subject and had less "what's up" time.

I wanted to hear an exchange from you on the ideas that make life here so tough. I didn't hear anything from you on that. The audience would have appreciated and benefitted from that. It was a lost opportunity for those of us who want something better, and you could have reached a lot of people.

Doug was nice enough to mention your website, but did not repeat it so I think that there were a lot of peopl who would have wnated to go to your site to learn yoour thoughts on things and they could have learned them there, but didn't get the chance because Doug ended your segment.

Well I wish he could have you back on the show again because I think it would be interesting but I can't assume he is going to do that before the election week comes in a month from now. He will probably waste his time on people like Phil who seems to use all of his time here to b ash the real leaders like you in this city, and I think he will never accomplicsh HIS goals if he continues to do that to you.

Thanks again for all that you do but I wish you could have done more about the issues on McIntire's show. Maybe you can call in tomorrow and they will give you another go at least on the telephone, and may be that will be good since you said and I think you do bette when you call in on the phone.

My last words to Phill Gennerjan is that you should stap bashing people who are here trying to make the city better. May be you can get on the show with Doug McIntire byt I think you are never going to get that c hane.

I don't quite understand all these landlord/renter laws, but it sure seems like the city paints the landlords as the evil grinch and the tenants as victims.

Maybe there are a few slum lords, but my guess is some of these property owners are just trying to keep afloat? How could they make improvements if they cannot raise rent a little? Or, are these are ploys for the city to take over these properties?

It sure doesn't seem to pay off as a property owner to rent a room or unit. Any such venture in this town is probably a recipe for disaster.

If a landlord can't make repairs on $400 month which is ridiculously low, $100 a week won't even cover the electricity and water for a closet especially when poor people tend to have a dozen in there, how does zuma think another $100/ month will make a huge difference? What's his point and what's he trying to say? If there's a slum and the only way to fix it is condemn it and start fresh, that I get, though does the landlord not get enough compensation then? These very low rent-control apts. are a big problem because there's not enough money to maintain them in today's market, no landlord profit. But I don't get why zuma is screaming his head off about it when the city is trying somehow to create decent housing that works. People that poor need government subsidizes and so do developers.

I read that post on ZD's blog. There is nothing wrong with the post, but something is terribly wrong with the loon who thought so.

Mayor Sam Higby,
Are you going to thank the HOZ for all these comments? You ought to do it.

Ha I was waiting for you to give yourself up, Wacko's Loon. DQ's liberal and he doesn't support ZD. Most likely, he's voting for MAV or sit it out. Getting desperate? hahahahahaha

Why is commenting on factual observations hate?

What's your definition of hate?

I mean , in your opinion was the McIntyre show a great expose of city hall shenanigans?

Did you hear something no one else heard?


Are you reading something no one else can see?

VERY INTERESTING!!

Hey, Zooma.

I tried to give you $2,000 so you could stay in the race and keep going at all the others, but I don't know how to use paypal, so I mailed a check to you at General Delivery, Los Angeles. It is made out to Zooma Dog.

I hope you get it.

11:37 PM Wacko's Troll,
Can I explain to you why putting up 20 hate comments in the span of a few hours is cuckoo, too?

216 that is very funny! Yes, with no address, and no common sense to talk about his platform on a major morning drive radio show, ZD will need all the help he can get.

Sincerely,

Mr. Jendergone's mommy is commenting on posts before the posts get put up by Higby. Commenting to yourself is a symptom of being a high kook, huh Foo?

When Zuma Dog realized that they were pulling the plug on the interview, he said, "The Joe Scarborough Show is coming on? I thought we had until 10 o'clock!"

I burst out laughing! They were giving Zuma Dog the hook!

DUMMY, it was comedy...When Doug was cutting away, I kept ranting away saying, "Hey, I spent all that money for gas for this short a segment...tell Joe Scarobourough he's being bumped in his first hour, Zuma Dogg is on a roll." Then added, "I could have called it in on the phone."

Doug was laughing and was really happy with the segment.

So if you call that saying, "I thought we had until 10..." that's how you spin, I guess. But clearly I said it as I quoted it above and didn't say what you said, AT ALL, liar crybaby-loser.

Thanks again for all that you do but I wish you could have done more about the issues on McIntire's show. Maybe you can call in tomorrow and they will give you another go at least on the telephone.

I havc called into KABC for hours and hours of calls, hitting hard on the issues over the past three years. Maybe you just tuned in to hear me. If you eliminated that segment from yesterday, it wouldn't even make a .0000001% of a dent in the amout of time I have spent calling into radio on my own time, spending 45 minutes or an hour on hold, for a couple minutes of on-air time...and many times, for longer than I was on 'in studio' yesterday. Plus all the council meetings that are broadcast, all the blogging, years of public access...does anyone in the city have more youtubes posted about city hall shadiness? All the neighborhood and committee meetings; getting on Fox 11 News about Academy Award SE Fee Waiver. Having LA Times print my comments about Grammy Award SE Fee Waiver the week before...

WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO FOOL?

No one out there could really be as angry about the segment as you are playing this off.

Wow! You must really be extra nervous and cranky because in a seven day period ZD was on:

ABC Nightline, LA Times, KNBC 4 News, KFI News, Fox 11 News and KABC -- just as the absentee vote by mail ballots were sent out!!!

IT'S GONNA BE HUGE!!!

PEOPLE WILL BE SHOCKED!!!

THE MORE VOTE BY MAIL BALLOTS THE BETTER FOR ZD!!!

HIS NAME IS RIGHT UNDER ANTONIO'S ON THE BALLOT...AND DESPITE WHAT CRYBABY WALTER MOORE SUPPORTERS SAY...WHEN ALL THOSE PEOPLE ANTONIO HAD SIGN UP FOR ABSENTEE BALLOTS GET THEM IN THE MAIL, AND SEE "ZUMA DOGG" DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH "VIAGRAOSA"...

YOU WILL BE SHOCKED BY THE NUMBER OF HIS SUPPORTERS THAT GIVE ME THE VOTE AT THE LAST MINUTE WHEN THEY SEE MY NAME.

So Antonio...I hope you sent out all those mailers to people with their names already filled out, with return envelopes already all ready to be sent in...

THE MORE YOU SEND OUT...THE MORE VOTES ZUMA DOGG WILL HAVE, TOO THAT I WOULDN'T BE REACHING OTHERWISE! (LOL!)

You are completely 100% incorrect and flat out libelous (not that it matters) when you say that I posted 904am (any of them) anonymously. I did not post any anonymous comments on this thread and I am sorry that you cannot handle the fact that someone else, other that I, DID, you weak loser.

Hi Zuma That commenter who said you posted anonymously is probably the same cuckoo who admitted to making 20 hater comments about you. Mispelling your name 10 times.

Prediction: Zuma gets about 100 votes.

Tell us David, when you do lose, and you will by whatever number of votes, do you promise to go away?
