For inhabitants of the country's most sought-after ZIP code, the unwelcome news came in December: In a move to pressure the city to zone for more affordable housing, a restrictive ruling by a Superior Court judge put a moratorium on Beverly Hills' right to approve any new home additions or project proposals by residents pending the approval of new homes for lower-income locals. In this ultra-exclusive community, where home remodeling is practically a sport, the notion that all renovations - from simple kitchen remodels to multimillion-dollar grotto installations - would require the ushering in of outsiders, or be delayed indefinitely, brought a particular unease.
That unease has turned to outrage for many living in the 5.71 square miles that make up the famed city, where rents and mortgages are more than double the national average. Following Superior Court Judge Curtis A. Kin's Dec. 23 ruling, the city now finds itself fully entrenched in a battle over what's become an urgent issue across many U.S. cities: the demand for significant and meaningful affordable housing projects. Many residents - already wary of the added foot traffic that will follow the opening of the Wilshire/Rodeo Metro station - just want the status quo to remain in Beverly Hills. Some argue that Beverly Hills simply does not have the space to accommodate any new housing at all - affordable or not.

“True- we saw how fast the elites kicked illegals out of Martha’s Vineyard”
**********
I worked around lots of libs and not a single one of them lived or vacationed anywhere near areas where minorities live.
They are all flaming hypocrites.
🔝🔝🔝
Fancy, good quality tents in photo.
As child we had an Army surplus tent we could put up in the back yard. My father had been shot in the head during a battle in the Philippines and came home with a plate in his skull. He didn’t give up or stop working once he recovered. I was born a year and a half later in a country safe due to the service of people like him. To me as a kid the tent was just a place to play or to sleep in the backyard under the stars.
In those days Army surplus places were everywhere.
My humble thanks.
Similar experiences.
Dad had a “Pup Tent”.
Two joined shelter halves.
Set up in the yard to play or sleep out.
Taken on camp trips, or Boy Scout camps.
But the residents of Martha’s Vineyard said that they were ‘enriched’ by the brief 36 hour visit by the illegals.
Beverly Hills
That’s where I want to be (Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!)
“In those days Army surplus places were everywhere.”
They were great. 1906 Springfield $15, bayonet $1.
There went the neighborhood.
They regularly elect such execrable filth as Henry Waxman and Ted Lieu to congress. They like scum so they got it.
Back in the day when we went to Ellijay, Ga to visit grandparents we slept on surplus army cots. About 58 years ago…
No space? No problem. The city should condemn several blocks of Hollywood mansions and take the land under eminent domain. Big government is just a boogie man until they actually take your property or life.
That was just outright funny!
They were bussed out in a matter of hours - despite ‘Immigrants Welcome’ signs all over and I believe there was an illegal immigrant fund to help them with expenses that wasn’t used.
Howevah:
They did throw them a potluck and a pizza party and then shipped them back wherever they came in from a year later!!!!! But, notice they didn’t offer them a place to settle. F-ing hypocrites.
“Ms. Belcastro is the shelter coordinator at Harbor Homes and was one of the volunteers involved in the Island’s community response. Just more than a month ago, she had been discussing with a group of volunteers how best to commemorate the event that had thrust them into the national spotlight. Over time those discussions evolved, she said, as volunteers settled on a quiet weekend, kicked off with a potluck dinner and service at St. Andrew’s Church, followed by a day of sightseeing and a pizza send-off on Sunday.”

Slums of Beverly Hills here we go.
Yes. Even for California this judge is far, far outside his lane - and far enough he could get removed if he doesn’t fold quickly.
Judges seem able to order just about anything these days…
Affordable housing?
I’m totally in favor of relocating the cardboard and blue tarp shanty towns of LA to Beverly Hills
I hear ya, but also enforcing that equal numbers of poor and rich live in highly desired neighborhoods is totally unamerican—and some flavor of communist redistribution, for sure.
Let’s hope enough people wake up soon enough—and we can purge those who need to go home.
We saw the reaction in Martha’s vineyard.
They did the heavy lifting of hating on Trump.
