  1962: A New American Sport Skateboarding’s Evolution: Skateboarding evolved from simple 2×4 boards with roller skates attached, eventually developing into modern boards with flexible wheel assemblies and non-slip wheels, enabling better turning. Modern Skateboard Technology: The flexible wheel assembly is a key improvement over older steel-wheeled boards, allowing for greater maneuverability. Hobie Skateboard Team: The Hobie Alter-sponsored team, featuring riders like Danny Bear, John Freeze, and the Hilton brothers, demonstrated various skateboarding techniques. Basic Maneuvers: Basic techniques included foot pumping (right or left), kick turning (walking the board), and various spins (360s, 720s, 1080s). Similarities to Surfing: Skateboarding shares many techniques and terminology with surfing, reflecting its origins in the surfing community. Terms like “walking the board,” “hang ten,” and various maneuvers are common to both sports. Trick Development: Skateboarders constantly invent new tricks, often adapting moves from other sports (e.g., wheelies from motorcycling). Competitive Slalom: Skateboarding includes competitive events like slalom racing, focusing on maneuverability150

LA housing 2025

  LA housing 2025   Interest Rates: While significantly lower than historical highs (18%+ in the late 70s/early 80s), current rates (around 6.8%) are higher than the historic lows of 2021 (around 3%), impacting buyer affordability and market activity. Inventory (Supply): Inventory is increasing, currently at 3.46 months (May 2025), up from recent lows but still below pre-pandemic levels. This signifies a shift from the extremely tight seller’s market of 2021-2022 towards a more balanced market, though still technically a seller’s market. Demand: Despite increased inventory, demand remains strong for well-priced homes. Median days on market (18 days in May 2025) are similar to pre-pandemic levels, indicating relatively quick sales for appropriately priced properties. Prices: Median sold prices remain high ($925,000 in May 2025), representing a substantial increase from 2020 ($625,000). While prices haven’t collapsed despite higher interest rates, the increase in monthly payments due to higher interest rates impacts affordability. Sold-to-List Price Ratio: Currently slightly150

The California ADU Boom

Posted on By realejuicey

 California allows backyard apartment building bonuses. San Diego‘s Bonus ADU Program: Allows significantly more ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) per lot than previously permitted, leading to the development of large-scale apartment complexes in single-family home backyards, sometimes exceeding 100 units on a single lot. Program Mechanics: Uses a floor area ratio to determine the maximum buildable area, allowing for multi-story, high-density ADU projects. Minimum ADU size is 150 sq ft, but average size is around 450 sq ft. Affordability Incentive: The program includes an incentive for building deed-restricted affordable ADUs (at 110% of Area Median Income), offering a bonus market-rate ADU for each affordable unit created. Approval Process: A ministerial process, meaning neighbor input and public review are minimal. Projects proceed if they meet established criteria. Parking and Infrastructure Concerns: No parking is required, raising concerns about increased traffic and strain on existing infrastructure (water, sewer). San Diego is not upgrading infrastructure to accommodate the150
