Venice Living

Posted on By realejuicey

 Venice Beach History unfolds. Founding and Early Development (1905-1920s): Venice Beach was founded in 1905 by Abbot Kinney, a tobacco millionaire, as a seaside resort town modeled after Venice, Italy. It featured canals, gondolas, an amusement pier (Abbot Kinney Pier), and Venetian-style architecture. The Venice Short Line railway provided transportation. The Venice Miniature Railway, a large-scale miniature train, was another popular attraction. The area was initially extremely popular. Annexation and Decline of Amusement (1920s-1940s): By 1925, Venice was annexed by Los Angeles due to infrastructure issues and political challenges. The city subsequently dismantled many of the amusement attractions, including filling in most of the canals to accommodate increased automobile traffic. Oil was discovered in the area in 1929, leading to the development of numerous oil wells. World War II brought blackouts and wartime restrictions on the amusement piers. Post-War Evolution (1940s-Present): After WWII, Venice Beach evolved, with the rise of Muscle Beach,150

I Just Found a PREFAB HOME with the Perfect California Look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LID6upJ0MoQ(00:00) There’s a modular home with European style that’s available in America. It’s built with a structural steel frame and has an exterior that’s been described as sleek with clean lines and large windows. This is big important news because based on facts, most of the people watching this video right now are located in the United States. So yeah, we have to see it. For this video, I’m in Madrid, and the reason that I’m (00:27) here is to check out Teeny Living. They’re manufacturing their stylish modular homes about 40 minutes south of the city, and they will be sending them to the United States. In fact, they’ve got some there now. I could have gone to see those. However, I figured why not come to the source because they’ve got something over here that really captures150

Prop 13 Howard Jarvis Tax Changes in California

Posted on By realejuicey

California property taxes rising: Why? Erosion of Proposition 13 Protections: Recent court decisions and legislative actions have weakened the protections of Proposition 13, particularly regarding local special taxes. Two-Thirds Vote Requirement Circumvention: Special interest groups are circumventing the two-thirds vote requirement for local special taxes by using citizen initiatives, which only require a simple majority. This allows them to direct funds to themselves. Impact on Property Owners: Parcel taxes, which are paid only by property owners, can be easily passed because non-property owners can vote to tax property owners. This can drive property owners out of the area or state. Mansion Tax Example: The “mansion tax” in Los Angeles (Measure ULA) is a real estate transfer tax passed via citizen initiative, bypassing the two-thirds vote requirement. This tax impacts not just mansions but also apartment buildings and commercial developments. Transfer Taxes Prohibited by Prop 13: Transfer taxes were prohibited by Proposition 13, but loopholes allow150

So Cal Beach Culture

  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
