Beverly Hills home renovations blocked over lack of affordable housing
NY Post ^ | 01/29/2024 | Jim DeRosa

It is one of the country’s most exclusive and expensive area codes and home to stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Taylor Swift.

But soon Hollywood’s elite may no longer be allowed to customize and upgrade their luxury residences – at least until they address the lack of affordable housing.

That’s according to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Curtis A. Kin, who alleges that the city has failed to follow state laws requiring approval of a plan to build low- and middle-income housing.

The ruling, issued in late December, will temporarily suspend Beverly Hills’ ability to issue new building permits.

That means no new swimming pools, kitchens, bathrooms or gyms for the mansion owners of area code 90210.

They thought they could only screw over everybody else.
This is what Christ meant when He said, “Treat others as you would have them treat you.” That means don’t flood middle America with illegals, without the expectation of it coming back and flooding you.

I want to meet the person who believes that a wealthy celebrity is not going to able to get a building permit if they are not allowed. Only the little people have to obey the rules.

LOL I have no doubt this is just government sponsored extortion, a few million funneled to the county will clear this all up.

Still it is good to see the chickens come home to roost.

Usually the way they play the game is they call the celebrity building permit something else—to hide the ball.

This is a bit of a twist.

What’s the difference between God and a judge?
God doesn’t think he’s a judge.

Is the gist here that NIMBYISM which prevented all and any affordable housing being created anywhere here is now by statute, preventing the NIMBYs from them selves doing any self help on their properties?

I think they can afford the double permit fee for starting work without one.

This is ‘class-envy-Marxism Lite’ crap. Jim DeRosa needs to use the term ‘1% ers’ Conservatives created the term for white liberal elties and it has nothing to do with class envy. It can even include useful idiots like Jim DeRosa .

I less and less think that cities should be forcing dense housing, affordable housing, etc. The wrong people with the wrong agendas are making decisions and destroying communities.

Exactly: see the fat tv host who continued to flood her mansion lawn with hundreds of thousands of gallos of water during a severe drought with zero consequences.

I’m sure Leonardo DiCaprio, Taylor Swift, etc. have huge lawns. So there’s plenty of space to put mobile homes. Hook those homes up to the main house for electricity, water, and sewage.

See? Problem solved.

How about The Bel-Airabs....

Come and listen to the story ‘bout a man named abdoul,
A poor Bedouin, barely kept his family full,
And then one day, he was shootin at some Jews,
And up thru the ground come a bubblin crude....
Oil that is,
Kuwaiti Kool-Aid——Saudi Soda....

Now the first thing y’know,
Abdoul’s a billionaire,
His kin folk say, “You gotta move away from here”,
Said” California is the place without a care,”
So he loaded up the Rolls, and they moved to Bel-Aire.....

Swimmin’ pools-—movie stars——Jews...
