Also, as Celeste has said before, this site is also about social justice and is not limited to problems and solutions of L.A. Even though L.A. may be the subject, the concerns are universal.

Given your attitude, may I expect you and yours to not make any more comments about the South since you don’t live here?

Another thing he tried to redistribute in his favor, was land belonging to his then-fiance, a month before they got married, which she wanted to develop. Because if he acquired it into his district, he could have uh, helped with rezoning for greater density. Only thing is, it would have also meant acquiring a few hundred other hapless souls from Wendy Greuel’s district, who’d have woken up to find themselves no longer part of middle class Sherman Oaks and Studio City, but TJ in the Valley. Only a timely article in the Times (by David Zahniser again, I think) embarrassed him enough to pull the plug on the unseemly plan. (This would be blatantly illegal to do for a wife, so after they got married, their hopes were dashed indefinitely.) But there’s always tomorrow, there’s always Las Lomas (whose lobbyist’s husband is his Chief of Staff, and used to work for Tijuana Huizar and master crook Alatorre.) You’d think these clowns (along with first-ever Hispanic City Attorney Delgadillo) would realize as the first bunch of Mexicans to control a large voting block in the city, and a majority with the three African-Americans when it comes to anything to do with density or socialist redistribution, they’d try to set a better example and not scare the s-t out of all the whites off the bat. Even the Mayor knows that much.

But with people like Hahn and LaBong, who even joke that they’re the Council married couple (and babblemouths and court jesters), who’s going to stop them? The difficulty of the rest of them getting a quorum on anything is daunting.

Any ideas out there for a theme song?

Lost Res, yeah, you nailed Reyes as “Tijuana in the Hills.” LOL, gigantic, low-income projects in the hills, and this guy is the head of the Council’s Planning/PLUM Commission, not just some outside clown. Scarier, Mike Woo and some geniuses in the Planning Dept. seem to agree that this is a brilliant idea, especially if the projects have no parking.

At least David Zahniser in the Times seems to be on top of him: he’s the only commenter in news or the media who noted this bizarre attack on “the hillside federations” who reject his brilliant TJ in the Hills plan, gratuitously thrown into the MLK “peace weekend.” Plus Zahniser pointed out how Reyes and Perry ganged up on westside rep Jack Weiss over the billboard blight issue, accusing him (and Rosendahl’s CD11) of taking parks away from poor people. So the Times still has ONE or two guys who know what’s up. (CityWatch/ Dennis Hathaway’s article says the MTA is somehow involved in that tangled mess with Rocky Delgadillo, too.)

Reyes accused the same evil westsiders a couple of weeks ago, during a discussion of distribution of parks, of being not only narrow-minded and selfish for not wanting projects in Holmby Hills, but for making kids in the hood fat. He’ll have to duke that one out with Perry: Parks or Big Macs, which is the real culprit? They’ve already got the schools, now their target is the parks and and Mulholland Drive. Sure, just bring Glassell Park to Bel Air. That will fix everything. Reyes and Perry should be thrilled that the state parks slated to close are those on the westside, discussed earlier in this blog, like Topanga and Will Rogers. Reggie the Alligator seems the only sane one. (Inside word was, he’s an import from FLA: Hahn/the city didn’t want to admit they’d spent a couple of hundred thousand failing to catch the real one, so they got a sub.)

One of my dreams is for David Simon to create a show based verbatim, on the clowns who run the city of Los Angeles.

We have the Mayor HollyWood who has been ineffective finding solutions to L.A biggest problems, gangs, LAUSD, traffic and over development. But he does have bright bleached teeth and black “JustForMen” hair, and never met a camera he didn’t like. And of course the Mayor, loves the ladies and booze.

We have a city council and Mayor who couldn’t balance the budget of an elementary school candy drive. We have a great cast of “characters” such as Bitter Bernie, NoBigMac Perry, ReggieTheGator Hahn, Tijuana Huizar, TijuanaInTheHills Reyes, CheerLeadingClown LaBonge and others. Add the puppet masters like Billionaire Broad, NoLicense Delgadillo and even a major newspaper which would miss a pack of big fat rats running between it’s legs.
