Venice Neighborhood Council supports street reconfiguration! Breaking News the Venice Neighborhood Council voted to support the DOT’s (Department of Transportation) proposal to reconfigure Main Street between Santa Monica and Venice. The plan that they had in mind is to transform the street by removing one travel lane in both the north and south directions. Essentially this would create a central two-way road and add a bike lane in both directions. This would not affect street parking. It would provide a safer way for motorists and bicyclists. I am constantly annoyed and concerned every time I drive, because of the less experienced Bicyclists who are clearly creating a hazardous condition for themselves as well as the motorists. Hence I applaud the council’s support in this street reconfiguration. This way bicycle riders could have an uninterrupted travel lane between Santa Monica and Venice. As a motorist I am extremely happy. I just hope that the two Cities will not let this fade into the sunset and implement it as soon as possible.

Did you know October is National Seafood Month? One of my staple foods is seafood. I love buying, cooking and eating seafood. I can never get enough of it. Diane loves pasta so when she has the craving I try to combine it with seafood this way everyone is happy. I just received an e-mail from one of my favorite local restaurants Cafe Del Rey (http://cafedelreymarina.com/) they are celebrating it with “Sustainable Seafood Menu” I find this so important. Restaurants and fish sellers need to take the Courageous approach and protect the endangered species. It works. I can recall when “Chilean sea bass” was in danger and the stores and restaurants raised the price of Chilean Sea Bass to $40-$50 a pound it allowed the fish to be taken off the endangered list. So here is my excuse for this month to cook and eat more Seafood. (Like I need oneJ) If you are not coming over for dinner but have a craving for seafood please visit Cafe Del Rey Café Del Rey at 4451 Admiralty Way, Marina Del Rey , CA 90292 call for reservations at 310.823.6395 and tell them your local Marina Del Rey Realtor Endre Barath sent you.

The Century City Condominium Market Report for the month of September 2011 Every month as I am about to write my Condominium Market Reports, I am a bit nervous and wondering how the particular pocket of the area fared, since I am unable to gage the activity based on the news media’ s observations. I am confident based on the activities of the past couple of months that we are heading in the right direction. Interest rates are at an all time low and the Stock Market has been a Roller Coaster Ride, hence a perfect recipe to go to the safer area i.e.: Real Estate Investing. From my personal observations I am still getting a lot of inquiries from foreign buyers, hence to me this is an indication that the devalued Dollar and the low Prices is still a fantastic opportunity to buy investment properties in Los Angeles and vicinity. Now with that said let’s look at the actual activity for Century City for the month of September 301 Active Condominiums on the Market available for purchase. The least expensive one is a Single with One Bath of approximately 325 square feet of living space for the asking price of $166,000. At the other extreme, the most expensive Luxury Condominium is a three bedroom and four and a half bath with 5,306 square feet of living space for $13,200,000.00. This was interestingly an increase in price on the high as well as the low end. Also it was an increase as well in the number of properties on the market compared to the previous month. There were 15 Properties in Backup-Status, where the buyers still have not removed their contingencies. There were 5 Condominiums in Hold Status; this is an indication of Short Sales, where buyers and sellers are waiting for Lender Approval. Interestingly there are 49 Properties that are Pending- Status. This is where the buyers are just waiting for funding and Escrow to close. The Sold statistic consisted of 29 Condominium that closed during the month of September. This is a large increase of activity compared to the previous month.

Re-birth of the Los Angeles River, one of four rivers in the Los Angeles Basin The Los Angeles River consists of 58 miles of stream which is nowadays mainly a cement-lined flood channel. How sad is that. This river has had much transformation. There were floods in the year 1861-1862 as well as in 1884 and in 1914. So somewhere in the early 1930’s the powers to be decided that to cut the flow of this Great River, (which was compared to the Colorado River) was to set the river’s channel into concrete. As of about 13 years ago only 17 percent of the streambed has remained with vegetation. The rest is imbedded in cement.So the engineers have prevented floods and created an eyesore and an ecological disaster at best. Environmentalists have been trying to rehabilitate the Los Angeles River without any success over the years. Fast forward to 1986 there was a group that called themselves Los Angeles River (FoLAR). They have started programs to educate children about the river, promoted cleanup efforts and led eco tours. In 1989 FoLAR had is first annual FoLAR Greater Los Angeles River Clean-Up. The turnout was miniscule only 30 people turned out, but it was the beginning. Than in 1994 the Downtown Strategic Plan Advisory Committee established by than Mayor Tom Bradley suggested rehabilitating the east bank of the waterway from N Man Street to the Golden State Freeway. Than in 2010 Mayor Villaraigosa took up the task of giving a new lease on life of the Los Angeles River, The restoration and beautification of the Los Angeles River. So like him or not, agree with him or not as far as his politics, you must admit after you see these pictures that he is on the right track. Let’s return the Los Angeles River to its splendor of a hundred years ago from the eye sore that it is today.

read moreBreaking News: Techland-Time.com Reports that the Fed will monitor your Blog & Tweets
Breaking News: Techland-Time.com Reports that the Fed will monitor your Blog & Tweets One of the biggest benefits of being an American Citizen is the Freedom of Speech. Quietly and slowly one of the most important Rights we possess is being eroded. (I do not care if you are a conservative or a liberal from your political views.) What I care about is the fact that I do not want to live under a dictatorial regime. I did not and do not like Communism, nor Fascism or Nazism. In a nutshell any type of Government that restricts freedom of expression is not where I want to live under. Now that you know how I feel, let me focus on this event that is being quietly imposed under the radar of every American. The Federal Reserve has not only decided but more importantly is planning on monitoring all forms of social media. The ‘pretences’ they are using is that ‘…they want to reach out to key bloggers and influencer…” and at the same time “…they want to monitor any and all public online conversations about the Fed…” WOW this is outrageous welcome to 1930’s Germany or post 1945 Hungary and the Iron Curtain. So if you have been badmouthing the Fed Chairman and his cohorts about their inept ways of handling the Economy or any negative criticism about them, be warned. This privilege will be taken away from you. First they will start monitoring Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and online forums as well as aggregate outlets like the Wall Street Journal, CNN or even Active Rain for all I know. If you read world history, you will agree with me that this is how it starts first monitoring, than it escalates to censure and ultimately prison and even death. I am of the firm belief that the Fed Chairman and his Cohorts should be focusing on fixing the economy that they were so instrumental in destroying when they kept raising the interest rates instead of thought control. As a Beverly Hills Realtor who has been affected by their incompetence I am outraged. I have seen Southwest Los Angeles real estate prices dropping 40%-50% in the past two years. Many good people losing their homes and struggling to make ends meet. West Los Angeles has been affected to the tune of 25% price drops as well. Many of us Realtors are struggling trying to survive as well. So with that said, everyone should be as outraged as I am and let your politicians know that we do not want the Fed to monitor or worse take away our Constitutional Right to Freedom of Speech.
