The Westchester Los Angeles Community: Median Sold Month over Month is up by 27%! Just amazing! Westchester is not very well known outside of Los Angeles,CA. It is a community that has experienced many transitions. In the early 1950’s it was a vibrant community which grew to a population of about 30,000 or more. Then the Los International Angeles Airport (LAX) took a large part of Westchester by eminent domain and the residential community shrunk to about 15,000 +/- residents. The community was always a last resort so it did not grow a great deal, mostly this was due to the Airplane noise of LAX which many homes are affected by. Then in the past 20 years it has received a resurrection. There were many people who chose to stay on the “West Side” rather than live in the “San Fernando Valley” and the price point kept increasing, this was clearly due to supply & demand. Today there are virtually no homes under $750,000.00 on the market. One of my clients is considering this area for buying a home. She asked me to do a Market Assessment. Not only was she surprised but so will you. Since last year there has been a 27% price increase Month over Month. Anyway instead of me telling you. See for your self!

The Missing & Re-Apprearing Recent Blog Posts on your Profile!! OK does anyone else have this problem on AR? For the past couple of weeks I have noticed that when I receive a comment from one of the Active Rain Members, I like to respond back and reciprocate with a comment on that person’s post. Intermittently I notice that when I click on the profile there are times that that person does not have “recent blogs” it just magically disappear. Then I could come back five or ten minutes later same issue…then about an hour later or the next day all the previous posts are back on the profile’s right side? I have actually emailed members and when they checked they had no issues it was back as if it was always there? Let me know if you are having these issues intermittently....
read moreEarth Day is celebrated in the United States on April 22nd!
Earth Day is celebrated in The United States on April 22nd Earth Day was conceived in 1969 by Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wisconsin, and his assistant Dennis Hayes, after a trip they took to Santa Barbara following the devastating oil spill off the Southern California coast. According to legend, the men were so outraged by what they saw that upon returning to Washington, D.C., Nelson introduced a bill designating April 22 as a national day to celebrate the Earth. The date was chosen to help commemorate the birth of famed naturalist and conservationist John Muir, who was born on April 21, 1838. There are others who might have a different recollection of how this day came about, the above version seemed the most plausible to me! I still remember the inception, better known now as the beginning of this movement. I was in High School and my father would let me drive his 1968 Chevrolet Impala with its V-8 engine on special occasions to school. The year was 1970 and those were the days of Leaded Gas Guzzling Cars; there were no Prius, Volts or Teslas on the road. The example of status consisted having a 351 or bigger engine, the one that guzzled gasoline, burned rubber and polluted the air. Smoking Marlboros and other brands of cigarettes was cool and clearly a sign of being hip and trendy. The name of the game was ”… it was cool to be polluting the environment…” In the early 1960’s there were various movements, the music revolution came to the forefront and it became the face for change, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix and I could go on and on. In addition to the change in music, there were protests against the Vietnam War and of all things there was this “…Movement about saving the earth…” next thing you know April 22nd 1970 was declared as Earth Day! In those days any self respecting Business Man & seasoned Politician considered this just as a fad that would fade away with time, just as the Flower Children and Hippies would fade away. Not many realized that this day would become the face of the biggest Environmental Movement in the world and that it would be embraced by most people from all over the world. Who would have thought in 1970 that this day would become main stream and not just trendy? Who would have guessed that this movement would morph into many different directions all leading back to idea of respecting our environment, our natural resources and the need to have a clear focus on protecting the environment? Today we have Green Buildings, Construction that is better known as Sustainable or Green Construction. Water Conservation in the Showers, the Low Flow Toilets, energy efficient appliances and now days we take many of these home features for granted. Recycling is another spin off of this event. All this exists today, thanks to Earth Day.

Bike Share System: have you heard of it?Beverly Hills & Santa Monica are considering it. Boston has it. On my last trip to Boston, I have noticed that the “air” was clearer then on my previous visits and visibly there appeared to be less pollution. How is that possible, I wondered and started looking around and discovered that all the Taxis were all Toyota Priuses or other electrically powered vehicles? The bulk of the vehicular traffic was underground and various parks were strategically created all over the city with greenery and more specifically Trees. This was complements of the “Big Dig”. I and then saw all these uniformed Bike Stands, so needless to say conversation ensued with friends and the “walking city of Boston” has turned into a “Bike Share: Biking City”. Our friends loved it. Basically you pick a bike up for discussions sake near your office and then you drop it off near your destination. Quite simple and all you have to do is pay a monthly fee and you have access to these bikes. On a side note our friend has similar tastes great food, great wines and desert, but she was at least 20-30 lbs lighter then we were, since we drive everywhere in the Greater Los Angeles Area. There has been a lot of talk in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica about implementing a similar system. Needless to say Santa Monica & Beverly Hills would be well suited for such a Bike Share Program due to our temperate climate with virtually sunny all year around and even the terrain is easier since it is mostly flat, unlike Boston, MA where you have quite a few hills to take on. What amazes me is both cities are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars analyzing the feasibility of such a program. We already have bike paths so what is the problem?? This I find for the most part a total waste of money. Here we go Politicians love to justify their existence by spending Tax Payers moneys in endless analysis. Why not just go talk to the people who implemented it in Boston, MA and ask for their Implementation Plans and just follow it with a few modifications to fit the local community and culture. Last time I read about the status of this program: Santa Monica has allocated $2+million dollars to do preliminary research and analysis of other programs. I mean REALLY??? The politicians are bogged down should this be a local or a regional program? Needless to say they are just incapable of making things happen. Next thing it will be a Partisan issue instead of what would be good for the locals, the tourists and the environment which would help all. Let’s be realistic the Greater Los Angeles could use some “fresh air” since everyone is driving from point A to point B and back to point AJ Now if you do not want to be bogged down with red tape and bureaucratic nonsense in your real estate purchase or in your sale of your home then please reach out to me directly!
