LAND IS SELLING AT $19,230,000 PER ACRE IN SANTA MONICA
February 24, 2008 on 12:53 pm | In Fascinating Information, Green, Lights Camera Transaction, Market Trends, Of Local Importance, Statistics, Uncategorized, WOW, fUNNY...mONEY | 13 CommentsLAND IS SELLING AT $19,230,000 PER ACRE IN SANTA MONICA
Congratulations to all who own land west of the 405 freeway…prices are still escalating. You your portfolios are still rocking!

CoStar.com Commercial Real Estate Information Service reports that Randall Miller of Arnon Development Group purchased a .69-acre parcel in Santa Monica from Arnold Porath of Spruce Realty Group for $13.25 million, or about $19.23 million per acre.
Miller plans to build a three-story, 50,000-square-foot medical center on the $30,000 s.f. parcel located at 1223 16th St. across from the new UCLA hospital, just south of Wilshire Blvd.
Previously, the property held a multi-family building with 3,534 SF of rentable building area. No one tried to landmark the site, and apparently there are no questionable trees located there, so there were no societal obstacles to hold up the sale.

Miller is already working with the gracious planning department for the City of Santa Monica to obtain approvals and permits for the proposed building. The ground break is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2009. No word yet on how environmentally friendly the property will be…but we’re hoping for an LEED certified building so SM holds to their Net Zero by 2020 vision (without supplying subsidies).
Those in the know say the building will feature surgery, imaging, outpatient, clinical and medical laboratory capabilities and subterranean parking. Medical buildings requires 1 parking space for every 350 sq.ft. of medical space. The completion date is scheduled for 2Q 2010.
This off-market transaction was the downleg in a 1031 exchange for the seller.
Anyone who ones an acre of land in Santa Monica, we want to honor you. Please let us know (jodis@verizon.net) - so we can applaud you.

SCHWARZENEGGAR IS AN ACTION HERO FOR
February 22, 2008 on 1:16 pm | In Fascinating Information, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Market Trends, Of Local Importance, Problem Solving, Uncategorized | 51 CommentsThe Governator Wrestles with California’s Economy
Schwarzenegger Awards Funding for Affordable Housing Projects Offers Job Training for Displaced Mortgage and Banking Workers
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a man attempting to make a difference. He could have rested on his laurels of being a Hollywood action adventure star loved throughout the world, but as a man concerned with the greater good, this is not enough - instead he’s trying to manage a state that is the 12th largest economy in the world.
This week he awarded $73 million for 40 housing projects in 26 cities across the state, helping 1,611 California families rent or purchase affordable housing. The awards, coupled with the $69.5 million in permanent low-interest loans from the Proposition 1C housing bonds Governor Schwarzenegger announced earlier in February, will create more than 5,300 jobs and more than $244 million in wages.
Thank you for helping the state economy.
As opposed to talking concept with concrete numbers, it was announced that the funding for these projects is from Proposition 1C and Proposition 46. Proposition 1C, which provides $2.85 billion to finance affordable housing and infrastructure across California, is part of the historic $42 billion package of infrastructure bonds championed by the Governor and approved by voters in November 2006.
“This will put people back to work and it will also create hope for some of the people in our state who need it most. Building a better life and pursuing opportunity begins with having a place to live,” said Governor Schwarzenegger.
The Governor also announced that the federal government today awarded up to $5.6 million to help mortgage and banking industry workers laid off as a result of the subprime crisis make career transitions to high-demand jobs in other industries.
Free job training, pretty nice gift.
“We applied for this grant because we want to help displaced workers transition to new jobs and the money will go to the counties with the greatest need. We are not just sitting by and waiting for the economy to pick back up. We are taking all the action we can to keep people working and rebuilding California,” said Governor Schwarzenegger.
The announcement was made at the New Carver Apartments Project, a development by the non-profit Skid Row Housing Trust. The Skid Row Housing Trust received nearly $8 million to develop 97 housing units, of which 66 units are dedicated to people who are homeless, recovering from addiction or living with HIV/AIDS.
The job training funds will come from a National Emergency Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. The U.S. Secretary of Labor, Elaine L. Chao, awards these funds when events create a sudden need for unemployed worker assistance that cannot be handled with existing state funds.
This grant focuses on California’s mortgage lending industry, which has seen more than 8,400 layoffs since July 1, 2007. A wide variety of workers have been affected, from experienced mortgage bankers to clerical and administrative staff.
Still an action hero.
“Many of these laid-off workers have skills that are transferable to jobs in high-growth, high-demand industries, such as healthcare and biotech. We want to do whatever is possible to help them make this transition,” said Labor and Workforce Development Agency Secretary Victoria Bradshaw.
The grant from the U.S. Department of Labor will focus on 12 areas with the highest needs located in the following counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, Sonoma and Stanislaus. One-Stop Centers in these counties have been providing rapid response services to the affected mortgage and finance workers and employers. These rapid response services, conducted with Workforce Investment Act funds, include information on the availability of unemployment insurance benefits and other employment services.
Depending on the skill level of the individual, the length and type of training will vary. For those with limited transferable skills, longer term training will be needed. Occupational or vocational skills training available through local community colleges will transition workers to new occupations.
Here is what the Governor has done to help Californians affected by the subprime mortgage crisis:
* Announced $69.5 million in permanent low-interest loans from the Proposition 1C housing bonds to jumpstart 14 affordable multi-family projects up and down the state helping more than 1,000 California families and individuals realize the dream of an affordable rental home.* Announced more than $72 million in federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds to provide assistance to first-time homebuyers, reduce the number of bank owned homes and increase the number of rental properties.
* Called on Congressional leaders to quickly pass legislation to raise limits for government loan programs to help reduce foreclosures and allow more people to achieve the American dream with solid, responsible loans.
* Joined the OneCalifornia Foundation to announce a bridge loan fund for homeowners facing foreclosure in Oakland.
* Launched a $1.2 million public awareness campaign to help educate homeowners about options that can help them avoid losing their homes to foreclosures.
* Announced an agreement with major loan servicers to streamline the loan modification process for subprime borrowers living in their homes.
* Signed legislation to increase protections for Californians who own or plan to purchase homes and to expand affordable housing opportunities.
Plus, in further actions to stimulate California’s economy, Governor Schwarzenegger recenlty awarded more than $6 million in grants to help more than 1,500 newly discharged veterans as they return to the civilian workforce and more than $2.7 million to registered nurse training programs. This month, the Governor also expedited implementation of $211 million in Proposition 1E funds to four critical levee improvement projects. Last month, he called an emergency meeting of his cabinet and instructed them to recommend ways to work with the legislature and speed the release of $29 billion in unallocated funds from the 2006 infrastructure bonds for the construction of roads, schools and levee repairs.
It feels good to have a politician in office who is attempting to make a difference.

SANTA MONICA IS HELPING HOMELESSNESS
February 21, 2008 on 8:05 pm | In Fascinating Information, Homeless, Problem Solving, The City of Santa Monica says, Uncategorized | 7 CommentsWe have such an entertaining balance of society here in Santa Monica. Due to our impressive real estate revenues (The City throws and extra ¼% on taxes due on the sale of a property) we revel in many rich and varied cultural events our Twilight on the Pier summer series, our symphony, our arts, our library, our senior services. Santa Monica has enough surplus to be able to give approximately $2.3 million to our state’s government. We are applauded for our Net Zero transportation system, our green buildings and being the most wired mid-sized city in the country. We also praised for how we give back to our City’s less fortunate.

Decades ago in the peace on earth era when Tom Hayden was mayor of Santa Monica, the City began feeding homeless people. As time passed, the City became renowned as the “Home of the Homeless.”
Studies were done in 2005, and it was found that approximately 2,000 people were homeless on any given night. Being the gracious and benevolent city that Santa Monica is known to be; the City has been working diligently to get our rehabable homeless off the street. (Friends at Chrysalis say about 1/3 of homeless people are unemployable.
For every $1 of the $1.54 million that City Hall invested in service providers in 2005-2006, private agencies such as Step Up on Second raised more than $12 from outside sources.
In addition to the $1.54 million invested by the city, another $4.5 million was spent on personal costs, including police and paramedic expenses and funding for open space management.
Through service agencies like Community Corp, Chrysalis Foundation, OPCC, Step Up on Second, and more, Santa Monica is making very positive steps in helping our homeless.

Most Vulnerable Homeless People Identified
Santa Monica’s 110 most vulnerable homeless people — those most likely to die on the streets — have been identified. The City of Santa Monica, in collaboration with local service providers, Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Mental Health, conducted a survey of homeless individuals within selected areas of the city, creating a service registry of the most vulnerable and chronic homeless people in Santa Monica which will focus the efforts of the City’s existing Chronic Homeless Project.
On January 25, teams of City and partner agency staff counted 277 people in the thirteen geographic areas identified by the Santa Monica Police Department as the locations where clusters of long-term homeless people sleep. Then, on the mornings of January 28-30, the same teams conducted a survey of individuals they encountered in the same areas. Two hundred and sixty-one (261) interviews were completed. Ninety-four percent (94%) of the Friday night count completed the survey.
The survey, created by Dr. Jim O’Connell, President of the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, included questions about age, number of years on the streets, previous housing situations, physical and mental health, drug and alcohol use, and run-ins with the law. The New York-based nonprofit organization Common Ground helped the city with training and coordination.
The survey data produced a Vulnerability Score that gives weight to several variables, including length of homelessness and physical and mental health status, to predict an individual’s likelihood of dying on the streets unless permanently housed. Forty-two percent (42%) of the people surveyed met at least one high-risk criteria and have been in Santa Monica the longest. The most vulnerable person is a 49-year old white male with a chronic health condition who grew up in foster care and came to Santa Monica 30 years ago. Initially the ten most vulnerable people will be housed as quickly as possible. Once the initial ten are housed, efforts will be directed towards housing the next ten most vulnerable people. Results from the survey were presented during a community briefing on January 31.
“One-hundred-ten people is something we can get to work on in Santa Monica,” said Julie Rusk, Human Services Division Manager, who noted the importance of changing the perception that homelessness is a problem that can’t be solved. “There’s no reason we can’t house 110 people.” Rusk says the biggest issue is finding units for these individuals. There are “well over 100 housing vouchers” in the city, but “we need units,” Rusk said. “We continue to need help. It’s not easy business housing these people.”
John Maceri, Executive Director of OPCC and one of the volunteers who conducted the vulnerability survey, agreed. “It takes a community to solve this problem,” Maceri said. “It takes everyone working together. People who are out here are very, very sick.”
Mayor Pro Tem Richard Bloom said the service registry, which will be updated as time passes, is the start of “something very, very big,” and believes it represents hope for the community and those who are living every day without housing. “These are real people,” Bloom said. “These people have a future.”

In part, this step most be in respose to a survey that concuded that
SANTA MONICA RESIDENTS MOST BOTHERED BY HOMELESSNESS
The recent survey by Goodwin Simon Strategic Research found that 45 percent of the 400 residents polled in the City of Santa Monica named homelessness as the top issue facing the city.
The 2005 statistic of 45 percent being bothered by homelessness is up from 33 percent three years ago. Santa Monica residents felt far stronger about homelessness than traffic, which was cited by 25 percent of the respondents (up from 18 percent in 2002), and parking, which was cited by 16 percent (up from 8 percent).
A third of those polled said the City — which spent $1.6 million on homeless services during the past fiscal year — is spending too little, while 17 percent said it spends too much.
Half of the residents polled said the City wasn’t doing enough to enforce homeless laws, with 51 percent giving the City negative ratings when it came to cracking down on “aggressive begging or panhandling” and 49 percent saying it wasn’t doing enough about camping in parks and doorways.
Aside from the homeless, traffic and parking, at least 10 percent of the residents polled mentioned “crime/gangs/drugs” and “education” as top concerns.
The survey also found that most Santa Monica residents use alternative forms of transportation, with 71 percent reporting that they have “intentionally not used their car for a trip in the past month.”

Santa Monica’s Sustainable City Progress Report
February 6, 2008 on 7:49 pm | In Fascinating Information, Green, Of Local Importance, Problem Solving, The City of Santa Monica says, Uncategorized | 6 Comments![]()
Santa Monica’s Sustainable City Progress Report
As you may or may not know, it’s Santa Monica’s role to be one of the greenest cities in the country.
The City now has a report card, covering both success and effort toward meeting its current environmental, economic and social needs without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.
Areas graded are the following:
* Resource Conservation
* Open Space & Land Use
* Environmental & Public Health
* Housing
* Transportation
* Community Education & Civic Participation
* Economic Development
* Human Dignity
Let’s take a close look at how Santa Monica is doing in the Green Housing arena…
The City’s Mission Statement:
● Achieve and maintain a mix of affordable, livable and green housing types throughout the city for people of all socio-economic / cultural / household groups (including seniors, families, singles, and disabled).

Since 1999, the city has lost the affordability of more than half of its rent controlled housing units due to state-mandated vacancy decontrol. The controlled housing stock affordable to low and very-low income residents continues to decrease from 86% before state-mandated vacancy decontrol in 1999 to 40% in 2006. This factor, combined with sustained upward pressure on real estate prices, has severely reduced the availability of affordable housing. However, the city’s progressive legal protections, such as the just-cause eviction protections in rent controlled units, have contributed to keeping 40% of the controlled units affordable to low and very-low income tenants. In addition to preserving the existing stock of affordable rental units, the city is investing in the development of new affordable housing. The Housing and Redevelopment Division financed almost $16 million for the production of more than 60 units of affordable housing in three projects. Design development for the Civic Center Village is underway and will include at least 160 affordable housing units. The consistent grade reflects the continued loss of housing affordability while recognizing the significant accomplishments being made in both retaining existing and providing additional housing units affordable to low income residents.
