@JMGregorchuk @CohenSite @realEstateTrent Let us know if it’s true. You never know until you try

@realEstateTrent Big reason I am building in Moorpark, CA. Looking forward to trying out their 2 hour SPARK permit program. Bombardier got a 46,000 sqft tenant improvement plan check done in a single 2 hour meeting w/ all deptarments. Permit was issued 2 days later.

The stupidest thing in real estate is how long it takes to get a building permit

@PaulSteidl is this highland park?

I'm the architect on this project. As a ministerial project we're not required to meet non-objective HPOZ standards but we're excited to introduce new units that are inspired by the surrounding neighborhood. Here's what it looks like from the street.

@BarryRoland19 looks good for the smallest code complient bathroom :)

A design pet peeve of mine: When people only tile the 3 walls directly around a shower or tub. It just looks unfinished. Continuing onto at least one adjacent wall makes a world of difference, and doesn’t cost that much more. (This is from an ADU I did a little while back.)

@mattbaran I hope the Gen X ppl have it easier when they grow older

When I was 7, I was kidnapped by my mom. She put me in a car and drove off without telling anyone, leaving Detroit in the rear view. Back in 1978 there was no Amber Alert, so for months my dad had no idea where she had taken me. At some point she called to ask for money and he traced the calls to Huntington Beach, where we were living in a motel near the pier. My dad came to HB looking for me, and was walking the beach when he spotted my mom. She panicked and fled to a lifeguard, pleading with him, “those men are after me”. She jumped in his Jeep and they sped off. Meanwhile, my dad had hired a detective who started visiting elementary schools, at which point they found me. One day after school, my dad showed up with the detective (who I happened to walk right up to on the playground) and asked if I wanted to go with him ‘back home’ (the detective told him he had to ask or he’d get “punched out”). The bus driver who kept an eye on me getting home (I was a ‘latch-key kid’) saw this happen and called the police. In the meantime we had driven off around the corner where my dad and I got into a getaway car and headed to San Diego (LAX being too obvious for the cops). The detective was picked up and arrested (and later released). I stayed with my dad about 2 years, visiting my mom in the summer, until I decided I wanted to move back to HB permanently. I then visited my dad in the summer. So the backdrop for me growing up was the Detroit and it’s suburbs, an OC beach town, and Los Angeles. These were very different places both in their culture and literal climate. On top of that I had an extremely permissive and often abusive parent, and a very strict authoritarian one. I think these conflicting personalities and juxtaposition of places are very much reflected in how I work and what I work on, as well as how I handle relationships (among other things). Being in a wide variety of situations and environments is part of how I developed flexibility. Because of all of this, contrast and diversity are something I have embraced. I look to find beauty in disparate things. This doesn’t mean I don’t discern or have my own opinions, but it means I attempt to remain open to the opinions and ideas of others to the greatest extent possible. In many ways this was all a gift from my mom. So happy Mother’s Day mom, wherever you are. You did your best.

@BlackMajikMan90 Fuck

I voted for Nithya Raman. Karen Bass cannot be allowed back in office.

@BarryRoland19 Are hotel guests as crazy as Airbnb guests? We just found out a group that was staying at our Airbnb did some gangs shooting at the gas station by our Airbnb and some shady criminals book Airbnbs in LA

The cool thing about my wife being a lawyer for hotels is that, when maniacs start doing crazy shit — like stalking hotel employees, harassing the GM, etc. — she gets to email them cease and desist letters using her first and last name.

@zennonuc Tell me you didn’t see the riots and what happened to these businesses without telling me you’re not from here it’s not about rent. It’s about getting robbed every month. lol don’t spread bullshit if you’re not here and don’t know shit

In Santa Monica, one of the richest zip codes in the country, our businesses are empty. Why do stores stay vacant, and what can we do about it?

@GrantCardone thats why we think about not doing business in us anymore

The legal system in America is garbage. It doesn’t reward victims it rewards greedy lawyers.

@cayimby How about single family? I built multiple single family next to each other and get a defect claim after years and not still settled they won’t let me fix

The median single-family detached house in Los Angeles is over $940,000. The median condo? $650,000. That’s nearly $300,000 less, so why aren’t we building them? Builders have walked away because a broken process made condos too risky to be worth it. AB 1903 (Wicks) is the fix.

@mattbaran Nice lot great fit

Very excited to share progress on a new project in So Cal. ☀️☀️☀️ 16 units in a complex combination of ADU law and SHRA (SB 684 & 1123). ✍️ Breakdown is 2 rehabbed existing units, 4 new ADUs (3 detatched, 1 attached) with a 10 unit subdivision. 🏘️🏘️ More updates coming soon!

@_MattHuff @streetsforall No it doesn’t you have a load of truck and pump for 2k only then you have finishers to pay cost of demo trash truncated dones base for the ramp etc

@streetsforall $10k a corner is still nearly 5x what it ~actually~ costs.

Something about LA just doesn't add up. Cost to do curb ramps per corner: Beverly Hills - $10,000 Caltrans - $15,000 City of LA - $50,000+ Why does basic infrastructure cost so much more in LA compared to surrounding cities or even our state transportation agency!?

@streetsforall 10k is my cost as a contractor

@SinaiLawFirm @moseskagan What happened if one of the tenants renting a room starts harassing their roommates and stop paying rent? Do you have to go through normal eviction process or as they say their membership is over?

@moseskagan If you knew what I know about Co Living companies you wouldn't say that The scam has to stop

I don't represent tenants but I am seriously considering making an exception when it comes to subtenants for Co-Living companies Why shouldn't I do it? Make a killing in contingency work AND go against my #1 opp sounds great

@DavidEvans9 @BarryRoland19 Not to mention the 5% transaction cost on to of it

@BarryRoland19 Stocks are a passive activity and losses are taxed deductible. Owning an operating apartments is an active process. So for many it is hard to sell at a loss for something that they have put time effort and resources into on a daily basis for X amount of years

The worst thing about real estate is how (most) owners can’t sell at a discount to their basis unless there’s a gun to their head. There’s just this mental barrier for these idiots. I’ve sold so many stocks at a loss and I couldn’t keep track or care less. Big deal, move on, go on vacation. But make an offer at below the owner’s purchase price and it’s like you’re asking for their firstborn son.

@CohenSite If we developers can hold on to our new builds for a decade maybe we can get a dollar in return on our investments with no supply coming.

Last year, LA produced LESS market-rate multifamily housing than at the height of the great recession

@ScottChoppin @ItaliaMoe thats great as long as they pay the rent its a good return on investment

@ItaliaMoe @BehdadW Montebello was a mix, mostly families, some roomates. This video in the link, was a family in that project. x.com/scottchoppin/s…

Demand for 5-bedroom rentals in Southern California alone: nearly 50,000 units. Developers building them: us. That's it. We have zero direct competition in this space because nobody else bothered to ask big families what they need.

@nithyavraman @_lej44 Imagine making bike lanes while the town is full of zombies and trash everywhere. Wtf is wrong with you?

First: We’ll build a comprehensive biking trail network, separating bicyclists from drivers and making the roads safer for both Not green paint, but full protection & routes that are safe for your whole family.

My vision is a city where people choose transportation options other than driving, not because they have to, but because they want to. Here’s how we get there…

@nithyavraman @CohenSite Clean your shit up in your district instead of talking nonsense

Today is Earth Day There’s no better time to talk about transportation! Confused? Here’s why…

@ScottChoppin Nice who are your renters ? Families or roommates?

@BehdadW We’ve achieved 4K+ per month on the last 4 projects.
