The Los Angeles Housing Department showed up unannounced to The Lofts at Noho Commons today. This is the first of two days they will be conducting unit by unit inspections. Some of the residents have voiced anger because there was no prior notice given to the residents. They felt unauthorized entry is not except-able, unless there was an emergency.
Although there has been some significant improvements in the day to day upkeep of the common areas, the problem with dog feces and urine has not subsided.

At a recent Churches of NorthEast LA Monthly Breakfast Gathering Chief Murphy challenged the churches to become involved in helping to reduce crime in the streets of NorthEast LA area. In immediate response the churches and other religiously-based community organizations represented at the meeting said let's do a peace march and so was born the Peace in the NorthEast Community March and Resource Fair, which we believe will become an annual event.
The Churches of NorthEast LA present:

As per testimony by the residents of numerous complaints to the leasing staff, at The Lofts of Noho Commons, at 11136 Chandler Boulevard, North Hollywood, California 91601, currently under the supervision of Octavio Sanchez, regarding security, maintenance, and health and cleanliness issues, you and your staff have had knowledge of resident dissatisfaction since the introduction of Legacy Partners Residential, Inc. There has been a steady decline in all areas. In all fairness to your staff, we understand there has been some level of dissatisfaction regarding these same issues under Jodie Piccinino, while she was the community manager representing Alliance Residential Company.

North Hollywood is currently going thru many changes by business owners and developers, hoping to solidify a strong and safe community. One property stands out, The Lofts at Noho Commons. It is a beautiful property, centrally located in the Noho Arts District, across the street from the Metro Station on Lankershim Boulevard. Even through the architecture sets a tone more of a resort than that of a family based residence. There is a hidden story developing here. Under the facade of the modern design and amenities, there is a story of dangers developing. Due to numerous requests by the residents for security directly to the owner(s) at Redwood Partners, Inc. and the management company Legacy Partners, assaults, theft and vandalism run rampant with no resolve. The general consensus is focused on the well being of the children and families that reside here, as well as to deter the inevitability of more violence, further property loss and death.

Saving the South Central Farm: Listening to the Land
A teaching story
By Juan Santos and Leslie Radford
“The secret of storytelling amongst the poor is the conviction that stories are told so that they may be listened to elsewhere, where somebody, or perhaps a legion of people, know better than the storyteller or the story’s protagonists, what life means. The powerful can’t tell stories: boasts are the opposite of stories, and any story however mild has to be fearless and the powerful today live nervously.
“A story refers life to an alternative and more final judge who is far away. Maybe the judge is located in the future, or in the past that is still attentive, or maybe somewhere over the hill, where the day’s luck has changed (the poor have to refer often to bad or good luck) so that the last have become first.
“Story-time (the time within a story) is not linear. The living and the dead meet as listeners and judges within this time, and the greater the number of listeners felt to be there, the more intimate the story becomes to each listener. Stories are one way of sharing the belief that justice is imminent. And for such a belief, children, women and men will fight at a given moment with astounding ferocity. This is why tyrants fear storytelling: all stories somehow refer to the story of their fall.”
From John Berger's That have not been asked: ten dispatches about endurance in the face of walls.
It’s not always a matter of justice; there are simply too many of us who know not to expect justice from this system that profits at the expense of all life: Sometimes it’s not a matter of justice, but as John Berger says above, it’s a matter of “luck.” Good luck or bad. Good Karma and bad, who’s in synch with the flow of change and the Times, and who stands foolishly against the tide. It’s like that this time. It’s a matter of luck, of grace, of Karma, of what is necessary as the times change. This time, we are determined: the last shall be first, life will come before profit, the poor before the wealthy, the natural will supercede the artificial. This time, if we have something to say about it- and we do – all of us – the Conquest is over.
No one could have predicted it, and frankly, no one did. There were those of us who had nothing to go on but this: we listened to the land, and the land spoke to us. We listened; we listened to what might be possible but seemed impossible; We refused to surrender dreaming; we refused to forget what had been born, the ancient, magical connection of land and a newly arising culture that touched so many of us here in LA: a connection that touched a nerve so deep in us that its resonance spread in a web of connection – and yes, we will say it – hope – across the world. Mayan Indians in a Zapatista community prayed for the land and for the life unfolding there. Native elders came and shared the lessons of their peoples. Red tailed hawks visited the trees.

One late evening, my husband, Drew, was shopping at the new, convenient, high-end Ralph's Fresh Fare supermarket at Ninth and Flower in downtown Los Angeles. He noticed the copious amounts of prepared food that had gone unpurchased and asked the Ralph’s employee what was to become of it all at the end of the day. The employee replied that it all gets thrown in the garbage. It was a LOT of food.
Note: This submission was received from LA Voice Reader "Laura" who was having difficulty posting it herself... given the time and effort she has put into this, we offered to post it for her. The views expressed are entirely her own...

It was an incredible experience for the children with cancer and their families—as well as the volunteer army assembled to put it on. Although it’s the ninth time PADRES has hosted this event, this year was by far the biggest and grandest PADRES Holiday Christmas Posada yet.

Exploring news places, whether it's across the Atlantic or right down the street, is one of my favorite pastimes - and living in LA affords endless exploration opportunities.
I recently found an incredible website called Hubbuzz.com that essentially lets you take a virtual stroll through all the 'hoods and cities in LA County. Hubbuzz profiles over 70 neighborhoods and cities and includes photos, community blogs and maps plotting the location of cool restaurants, museums, fitness centers, boutiques and shopping centers.
You can also see Los Angeles Apartments by neighborhood, or search by neighborhood characteristic (think diverse, trendy, kid-friendly). So when I find that perfect neighborhood in all my urban exploration, I can find an apartment there too.
Check it out, maybe you'll find a cool new 'hood to explore.

Los Angeles. A number of organizations are planning a series of public actions targeting Countrywide Home Loans in cities throughout California—where it is estimated the company services 50,0000 loans. While Countrywide CEO, Angelo Mozilo, has taken literally millions of dollars from the company before the initial decline of its stock, thousands of homeowners are set to lose their homes, and some 12,000 Countrywide employees will be fired before the holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mr. Mozilo will be the Grinch who stole the home, hearth, and the American dream.

It's not all that often when Santa Monica takes the lead from other cities but here it is: Santa Monica will likely join other municipalities like BH, Burbank and Calabasas with strict anti-smoking ordinances. The next step, of course, will be banning the use "Smokin'" when referring to heavyweight boxing great, Joe Frazier, and when using lines from "The Mask." Below is James Ricci's piece from today's Times.

Unfortunately I've given up on any sort of sound reasoning on the part of the parks dept. and their steadfast refusal to reopen areas of the park untouched by the fire so that work crews will have unfettered access this fall. Yes, many unburnt areas are still closed and summer is almost over. And yes, there are signs that say they are closed. But more and more people are ignoring these signs. The sense I get is that people are fed up and are going back into their park because, well, they can.

A press conference will be held later this morning at 11 a.m. on the south steps of the Los Angeles City Hall to announce HML’s fight against vehicle confiscations for merely lacking licenses and proof of insurance. HML National Director, Nativo V. Lopez, will be available for interviews tomorrow and throughout the week. There is also a Spanish translation of this communiqué at the end.

And now a word about "thought processes"...
I emailed Tom LeBonge's office and heard back from someone today. She said:
"The parks department is not without their reasons for keeping the park closed, but as of right now we think there is not sufficient justification for the closures. The fire recovery team has not yet settled on what strategy they will use to prevent erosion this upcoming winter. One of the strategies being considered will require exclusive access to the burn area for the department. And RAP's thought process says that it is better to keep the park closed and for the recovery team to complete their work and then open the park, rather than opening the park now only to have to close areas of the park off and on for the next six months. But, the Councilman disagrees with this train of thought."
So we've got a three-way game of "thought process" chicken going on here between RAP, Tom LeBonge and the evil bikers and hikers.

I've been posting comments at the laparks.org Griffith Recovery blog. It was suggested that I also post here. The following is from my last comment posted on Wed. June 27. More to come...
This past weekend I was told by the guards at the Vermont entrance and also by a guard at Griffith Observatory that all paved park roads were open to bikes. I asked about the road to Mt. Hollywood summit and going through to Travel Town. The guards said they were indeed open.
Happily, I went for a great ride up Vermont to Mt. Hollywood summit and through to Travel Town. I saw other cyclists during my ride. We smiled and waved to each other, obviously glad that the roads were open again. Along the route there were signs on a lot of trails that led uphill from the road saying they were closed. I thought that made sense. People will know what's off-limits but at least we can use this road.
What was odd to encounter was that THIS ROUTE WAS UNTOUCHED BY THE FIRE...
