ParticipantCosts go up.
The govt is deep in all of our pockets -> taxes go up.
Even with a 30 year fixed mortgage costs are not fixed, somehow these costs have to be passed along.
But rents are stable?
Sounds like I need to become a renter myself to lock in my housing expenses.
No wonder renters are all to happy to increase taxes on “the man.”
Participant[quote=UCGal]Are your tenants on a rental agreement that locks in the rate for a specific period of time? If so you need to wait till the period is up before you raise the rent.
If the tenant is a good tenant I would increase (at the end of the lease) 10% or $100 whichever is less. In this case that’s $100.[/quote]
The lease expired, has been month-to-month for over 1 year.
ParticipantI’m at 1550 right now, zillow puts the rent at 1643.
But the tenants handle lawn care.
ParticipantAlso, I suspect Texans are a lot friendlier than So Cal. natives.

Is there any evidence that he discriminated against his employees while on the clock?[/quote]Yes. Both against his employees and his tenants.[/quote]
Please elaborate….
Also, I’m hearing this might be a case of extortion.
ParticipantSo the 30 year hits a 10 month low, but gold is not making any major moves (although possibly manipulated via paper market).
288k jobs in April (but participation way down).
But then 1Q gdp was anemic at 0.1% – blamed on weather.
Does this mean war on the horizon?
ParticipantNot to mention better air quality; the AQ in So Cal is generally pretty bad (even on the coast).

With that said, I think Sterling would be toast anyway because the NBA is a black league and no one would play for him if he kept the Clippers, so it’s kind of a moot point. The value of his franchise would plummet as no players would want to play for him and no fans would go to the games. But that should be his choice.[/quote]

Oprah – who has made many racist statements – had an audience that was probably 60% white. And yet no audible outrage.[/quote]Maybe there wasn’t outrage for Oprah because what she said wasn’t outrageous? Do you think what Sterling said was acceptable?[/quote]
Not a question the statements were outrageous – because they are – it’s just a question of double standards.

I really just don’t understand the sympathy for the guy.[/quote]Fear of 1984 and thought crime.
We are dangerously walking an edge of being unable even question certain [/quote]
I have no sympathy for sterling whatsoever, but this sums it all up pretty well.
Participant[quote=SK in CV][quote=spdrun]It was a PRIVATE CONVERSATION between him and his mistress (let’s not kid ourselves). I’m pretty sure that everyone has said things in the heat of anger that they don’t want to be public.
Sure, she won’t admit to releasing the recordings. That might open her to civil and criminal liability.[/quote]
No, it won’t open her up to criminal liability. He knew the recordings were being made.
Ignoring entrapment issues for the moment, if an undercover cop records private conversations proving guilt of a crime, should those conversations remain private?
Sterling’s comments weren’t “heat of anger” words. They were outrageously racist words by the owner of an NBA franchise whose customer base is 60% non-white. Nobody that I’m aware of has come forward and said that they didn’t have a problem with what Sterling said. His words weren’t slightly outside the norm. They were so far outside the norm that nobody will publically admit that they agree with him. The reaction is understandable.

His behavior is obviously now detrimental to the org.[/quote]
I checked for the NBA constitution and couldn’t find one…and just because the NBA makes certain rules doesn’t mean they are enforceable.
It’s not like he went to the press club in wash dc and made these statements, they were made in private. Pillow talk.
Shouldn’t matter what you own, this was supposed to be a PRIVATE conversation behind closed doors. His dirtball mistress should be investigated.
In court, can illegally obtained evidence be used against you? I would hope not.
It really doesn’t surprise me that so many piggs would be a part of this lynch mob.
ParticipantGov. Jerry Brown had no comment of course (on the Toyota move), but to him all these job losses “barely amount to even a fart.”
But then Gov Brown only represents govt workers, so why would he care anyway.
ParticipantThis whole debacle also reminds me of the attack on the Mozilla CEO by the Velvet/Gay Mafia. I wonder if there is a Black Mafia who took a page out of the Velvet Mafia’s handbook?
Again, not defending what he said…
