Goldstein and John Hellen What a pair of rascals! They buy up scores of apartment buildings in LA. Mostly on the west side, but mine was the first they bought in Los Feliz, when it was getting hot. They evict everyone, slap up some odd decorative devices, call it "art deco", and raise the rent by 4 times. Dave Goldstein has been mentioned in the Los Angeles Times and City Beat, for his charming habit of asking for written essays on why someone wants to move into his buildings. (hmm, why would he need written ENGLISH??) Oddly enough, he doesn't ask for essays on why someone doesn't want to move OUT of their home. No, the current tenants are asked to leave. Urged to leave. Forced to leave, or strange things happen to them... Of course, dear readers, you know that I put up a good fight to stay in my home - even after they broke into my apartment, turned off the water, illegally built driveways on the neighboring properties on either side, threatened that I had lead paint poisoning, and  warned that
a hole would open in my floor and that I would
fall through. Yes, it's all documented, and Rent
Control said they would never forget these guys.
Yet I did have to move, and they're still around,
somewhere...maybe even looking at YOUR home next.
Never never go to their link. |

| City
of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works These are the people who trim our trees every couple of years. They farm out the work to subcontractors, who hire undocumented, unskilled cheap labor to do a horrible job on trees everywhere in LA. Golden Bear is one of their favorite companies. Coincidentally, Golden Bear has a side business selling firewood. Is it any wonder the trees look like crap afterwards? Most trees never need to be trimmed at all! Every time a tree is trimmed, it lets bacteria and bugs into the open wound (just ask Griffith Park, who has lost tens of thousands of trees to the I-forget-its-name red beetle) and has less big branches, so that each single branch has to hold more weight and leaves than it is supposed to, and is more likely to break than it was before. Not to mention pollution, beauty, wildlife, and other stuff like that. But it's make-work, and Los Angeles knows all about THAT, doesn't it? Never ever link to them. |

| SUVs or 4Wheel Drives and
everyone who drives them. Everyone seems to either hate them or hate them, nothing in between. I'm with them. Never link to them, go there, or wave to them. |
