I am a former HB resident, the place has been taken over by the socialists, but, so has the city I live in now, Long Beach. Born and raised in LB myself, John, and I know HB pretty well also. Haven't been home in quite a while, but planning a visit shortly. What you say doesn't surprise me. Do they have rent control yet?
No rent control yet, the current mayor is a realestate whore, propbably not on her watch.
