This is hilarious.

Somebody stayed at an AirBNB and managed to get legally classified as a tenant. And since the owner is an opportunistic leech, poo poo's not up to code, which means she got a judge to agree that the owner can't evict her. And since she's a tenant of her own building, the judge also said that rent-control laws apply, which apparently makes her rent zero.

Meanwhile, she's not letting the landlord in to make changes to get things up to code, so the city's fining him for leaving things unfixed.

A Los Angeles CIty Building & Safety Department investigator found two code violations in the ADU: It wasn’t approved for occupancy, and it had an unpermitted shower.

The city investigator concluded that, because the unit violated city codes, Jovanovic had to withdraw his eviction notices until he could prove his unit was in compliance. The investigator also concluded the ADU is subject to L.A.’s rent control ordinance, giving Hirschhorn stronger tenant protections.

It is gutted from a fire so "Put in a/c" is kind of underselling the amount of work you'd have to do to make it habitable after paying three quarters of a million dollars.

I suspect that house is over 1.5 million in good condition. I'm not sure how much it would cost to do the necessary renovation work, though.

Capitalism is a system where competition creates the best goods for the cheapest price and allows workers to claim the highest wages according to their appropriate skill level. This is why education, food, fuel, housing and medicine are so cheap and why college graduates get such good jobs and things get better every year.

I think we'll see a lot more roundabouts in the US now that traffic engineers realize that they can be just as hostile to pedestrians as other types of intersection.

Sometimes more!

It's a strange world.




my house was struck by lightning a few weeks ago and i have a pending homeowner's insurance claim for the damage

either due to that or perhaps some public record of the fire response (called because of a live current arc inside of the house), we have started getting calls, texts, and mailers from shady "we'll buy your fire damaged home for CA$H!" outfits that are evidently finding a new angle to pursue house flips when they can't find someone newly widowed to harass

what percentage of the american economy is just parasitic scams at this point?
