Santa Ana Admits: “Affordable” Housing Stops Creation of Needed Homes

By Stephen Frank on Oct 12, 2015 08:48 pm
The government of Santa Ana wants to create new, high end housing. Currently if you try to do that, you must also provide below market housing (affordable) meaning the price of the market priced housing has to go up, to make up for the lost of revenue from government mandated housing.

Los Angeles to Create River “Park” Instead of Stopping Water Flow to Ocean

By Stephen Frank on Oct 12, 2015 08:46 pm
Millions of acres of feet of water flows out to the ocean thru the Los Angeles River. This is much needed water—yet currently less than 3%of the water is captured. The City Council and Mayor of Los Angeles have known about this for many years and has refused to provide plans to save the water. […]

San Diego Airport: Volunteer to Pay $9 Carbon Tax—NOT a JOKE

By Stephen Frank on Oct 12, 2015 08:44 pm
If you think taxes are high enough, try flying out of the San Diego airport. You will be asked to “voluntarily” spend another $9 on a carbon offset tax. This is a part of the Al Gore scam, to make us poorer and government richer, based on junk science. Would you pay $9 to make […]

Direct Democracy in San Fran: S.F. Voters To Decide On Airbnb Rentals, Mission Moratorium and Other Housing Measures

By Stephen Frank on Oct 12, 2015 08:42 pm
In the book “Taxifornia 2016” I write that the future of government policy will not be found in legislatures but at the ballot box. Due to a set of circumstances, more important legislation can only be passed by the public at an election. Tax increases, controversial policies, repeal of utility surcharges, even ending the ban […]

The voting face of California is going to change. That does not mean that the policies or politics will change.

As homelessness rises, families balk at living downtown

By Stephen Frank on Oct 12, 2015 08:35 pm
Do you want to live among the homeless in a $2 million downtown condo? Think about taking a family on a Sunday walk among the needles, bottles and sleeping homeless? Is this a place for young children to play in the streets—instead of forcing the kids to stay at school or play on the roof […]

Job Creation from Startups Hits Historic Low

By Stephen Frank on Oct 12, 2015 08:33 pm
The Obama economic polices are working as planned—new jobs from start-ups are at an historic low. High taxes, destabilizes and expensive regulations, ObamaCare, bigotry promoted by the Department of Justice, makes this time in American history a bad time to start a business. “According to the data, startups were hit hard in the recession that […]

A New Way To Track California’s Biggest Political Cash

By Stephen Frank on Oct 12, 2015 08:27 pm
Every midnight I check my email, looking for Scott Lay’s “Election Track”. This gives the donations to candidates and ballot measures, along with transfers of money from one committee to another. This is a good way to track which campaigns are targeted, which special interests groups have joined together to support or oppose a candidate. […]

By Stephen Frank on Oct 12, 2015 08:24 pm
In Northern California on the101 freeway heading south near San Jose, at night the carpool lanes are opened to all drivers after, I think, 9:00pm. It does help the flow of traffic a bit. The confused Guv Brown has decided he wants to punish the people of Southern California by vetoing a bill that would […]
