Diana Ramirez-Simon at The Guardian:

Violent clashes broke out on the campus of the University of California in Los Angeles early on Wednesday morning when counter-demonstrators attacked a pro-Palestinian protest encampment, hours after New York City police cleared pro-Palestinian protesters out of an academic building that had been taken over at Columbia University. Aerial footage showed people wielding sticks or poles to attack wooden boards being held up as a makeshift barricade to protect pro-Palestinian protesters at UCLA, some holding placards or umbrellas. At least one firework was thrown into the camp. Administrators at the university called in law enforcement officers to try to stem the violence, which is the worst since counter-protesters who support Israel set up a rival protest area near the pro-Palestinian encampment.

“Horrific acts of violence occurred at the encampment tonight and we immediately called law enforcement for mutual aid support,” Mary Osako, a vice-chancellor at the university, said. “The fire department and medical personnel are on the scene. We are sickened by this senseless violence and it must end.” Writing on X, the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, condemned the violence as “absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable”. LA police said in a post on X: “At the request of UCLA, due to multiple acts of violence within the large encampment on their campus, the LAPD is responding to assist UCLA PD, and other law enforcement agencies, to restore order and maintain public safety.”

Some of the counter-protesters began to leave the area at about 1.40am, after police in riot gear arrived and formed a line near the camp, the LA Times reported. But officers did not immediately break up the two sets of protesters, and clashes continued. Hours later, broadcast footage showed a police cordon slowly clearing a central quad beside the encampment. Ananya Roy, a geography professor at UCLA, condemned the university over its lack of response to the counter-protesters. “It gives people impunity to come to our campus as a rampaging mob,” she told the LA Times. “The word is out they can do this repeatedly and get away with it. I am ashamed of my university.” Katy Yaroslavsky, a Los Angeles councilwoman whose district includes UCLA, posted on X: “Everyone has a right to free speech and protest but the situation on UCLA’s campus is out of control and is no longer safe.” The clashes began in the early hours of Wednesday, shortly after Gene Block, the UCLA chancellor, said the campus’s pro-Palestine encampment was “unlawful”, adding that students who remained in it would face disciplinary action.

The 7 October attack on southern Israel by Hamas militants from Gaza and the ensuing Israeli offensive on the Palestinian territory have unleashed the biggest outpouring of US student activism since the anti-racism protests of 2020. Late on Tuesday, New York City police arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators holed-up in an academic building on Columbia University campus in New York and removed a protest encampment that the Ivy League school had sought to dismantle for nearly two weeks. Live video images showed police in riot gear marching on the campus in upper Manhattan, the focal point of the nationwide student protests. Officers used an armoured vehicle with a bridging mechanism to gain entry to the second floor of the building.

Pro-Israel Apartheid agitators caused violence at the UCLA campus by attacking a pro-Palestinian protest encampment.

Two Jewish men were shot in Los Angeles within 24 hours in what police said they are investigating as a hate crime.

A suspect was taken into custody Thursday evening with police saying they believe he is responsible for both shootings, which occurred in West Los Angeles on Wednesday and Thursday morning.

"The facts of the case led to this crime being investigated as a hate crime," the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement Thursday night. "In an abundance of caution, there will continue to be an increased police presence and patrols around Jewish places of worship and surrounding neighborhoods through the weekend."

According to law enforcement sources, the suspect allegedly has a history of animus toward the Jewish community.

In a statement, the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles said, in part: "We have also learned that the suspect has a history of animus towards the Jewish community and these incidents will be treated as hate crimes. As such, we are encouraged to also have learned that the U.S. Attorney will take the case and file federal charges on civil rights violations."

The first shooting occurred shortly before 10 a.m. local time on Wednesday, when a man in his 40s was shot while getting into his vehicle, police said. The suspect fired at the victim while driving by, striking him, then took off, police said.

The second shooting occurred Thursday around 8:30 a.m. a couple of blocks from the first incident, when a suspect fired upon a victim at an intersection from a vehicle, police said.

The victims are in stable condition, police said.

Both incidents occurred in LA's Pico-Robertson area, which is home to many synagogues and religious centers. The victims were leaving houses of worship, according to Jeffery Abrams, regional director for Anti-Defamation League Los Angeles, which he said was working with the LAPD amid the investigation into the incidents.

Police described the suspected shooter as an Asian man with a mustache and goatee driving a possible white compact vehicle.

A suspect was taken into custody around 5:45 p.m. on Thursday following an "exhaustive search" that led officers to an area in Riverside County, the LAPD said. Federal and regional partners helped locate the suspect, who has not been publicly identified. Evidence, including a rifle and handgun, were allegedly recovered, police said.

The LAPD said it is reallocating resources "to provide a highly visible and preventative presence in the area."

"The Los Angeles Police Department is aware of the concern these crimes have raised in the surrounding community," the LAPD said in a statement Thursday evening. "We have been in close contact with religious leaders as well as individual and organizational community stakeholders."

The FBI is assisting the LAPD in the case to determine if it was a hate crime.

LA Mayor Karen Bass said her office was monitoring the incidents.

"These attacks against members of our Jewish community in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood are absolutely unacceptable," she said in a statement. "It is my understanding that both the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI are investigating these incidents as hate crimes so I want to be very clear: anti-Semitism and hate crimes have no place in our city or our country. Those who engage in either will be caught and held fully accountable."

LA City Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky, who represents the district where both shootings occurred, said that the LAPD will provide "heightened deployment around all Jewish institutions citywide" in the wake of the attacks.

"These two shootings are deeply concerning," Yaroslavsky said on Twitter. "We have seen a rise in antisemitic attacks in recent months, and while there remain questions on the motivation of these particular shootings, we cannot ignore the pain and trauma that they have triggered in the community."

Lili Bosse, the mayor of nearby Beverly Hills, also confirmed that police were "placing extra security around our houses of worship in our city."

The victims were Orthodox Jews leaving their synagogues following morning prayers, according to Agudath Israel of America, an organization representing Haredi Orthodox Jews, which called for the shootings to be investigated as hate crimes "until we know otherwise."

In a statement prior earlier Thursday, the organization urged Los Angeles institutions "to be especially vigilant in the days ahead."

Ukraine’s new financial elite amid forced mobilisation

Recently, Ukrainian media compiled a list of the biggest corrupt officials making a fortune on mobilisation. The list includes the heads of the Boryspil and Bucha military committees.

They reportedly organised a scheme to evade mobilisation worth more than $1 million. The list also included head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Centre for medical and social expertise (MSE), Tetyana Krupa.

Law enforcement agencies found $6 million in cash in the possession of Krupa and her son, the head of the regional department of the pension fund, according to the report. The head of the Khmelnytskyi Centre handles disability determination, which allows people to avoid mobilisation and travel abroad. She also certified all the men in her family as disabled, according to local media.

Krupa also reportedly purchased 30 properties in Ukraine, real estate in Spain, Austria and Turkey, nine luxury cars and a hotel and restaurant complex. Investigators found several million dollars in her foreign accounts.

Her activities are also linked to the work of a Zhytomyr doctor, in whose house the police found 4.4 million dollars. According to the investigation, the doctor falsified magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results for men of conscription age, which allowed them to obtain a disability certificate.

MP Oleksandr Dubinsky said that such systemic corruption in medical commissions filled the pockets of MPs of the Servant of the People party.

If MSE stops taking bribes, there will be even less money in the budget, as MSE bribes flow into the pocket [of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s team]. If they [the bribes] are gone, we will have to take more from the budget.

New elite

On Tuesday, the Ukrainian State Bureau of Investigation also reported the uncovering of a new corruption scheme to evade mobilisation at a Territorial Recruitment Centre (TRC) in Odesa. the Malynovskyi District Military Recruitment Centre (DMRC) offered to obtain a certificate of unfitness for service for $4,000 to $7,000, according to the report. On the same day, the court received the case of former head of Odesa TRC Yevhen Borisov travelling to Seychelles under the guise of being wounded at the front.

Earlier he was accused of illegal enrichment for 142 million hryvnias and the acquisition of luxury property in Spain. He was the head of the Odesa TRC.

Huge sums of money flow from ordinary Ukrainians wishing to avoid mobilisation into the pockets of TRC representatives, medical commission doctors, border guards and officials. Moreover, Ukrainian MPs, such as Roman Kostenko and Yuriy Syrotyuk, are asking to reduce the lower threshold of the mobilisation age in order to increase the number of citizens who need help avoiding mobilisation.

Ukrainians who fail to avoid mobilisation become dependent and bring huge profits to the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Ukrainian military officer Denys Yaroslavsky said in an attempt to explain the mass desertion on the battlefield.

The new elite’s system hinges on the continued war against Russia. The freezing of the conflict would force the new beneficiaries to stand up against the Zelensky administration, military experts noted. However, the inflow of funds is shrinking, according to the National Bank of Ukraine.

Ukrainians under military obligation have fewer opportunities to buy their way out of mobilisation, with foreign remittances from relatives plummeting. Very soon, the new elite would start dividing the illegally received funds among themselves, leading to new internal conflicts in the Ukrainian leadership, the analysts said.

Вот и наступил этот день! День рождение! Плавно переходим в лигу "на год ближе к пенсии" 👵🏽😉 . Прочитала недавно стихотворение, в котором есть такие строки: "Бывает день дороже года Бывает год не стоит дня..." © . Так вот про себя могу сказать - это был хороший год! Год, в котором продолжились старые традиции. Такие, как встреча Нового года в другом городе, в этом году это был такой уютный Минск. А также появились новые традиции, например, отмечать день рождения друзей в тёплой компании и обязательные душевные встречи по пятницам. . В этот год я поняла, что действительно все что ни происходит в жизни, все к лучшему. Даже если сначала тебе кажется, что это конец света, то отпустив ситуацию, ты понимаешь, что это на самом деле только начало, ведь: Однажды ты наконец поймешь, что все кончено. Это и будет начало.© . В этом году я научилась отпускать из своей жизни плохие эмоции, негатив и людей, которые своими словами и делами показали, что нам, к сожалению, с ними не по пути. . В этом году было много хорошего, например, у меня появились новые увлечения. Сейчас я, конечно, говорю о моем любимом театре. Настолько сильно меня захватило искусство, что сейчас я уже не представляю жизни без него. Еще не закончился этот сезон, а я уже с нетерпением жду следующего. Благодаря своему увлечению театром, я познакомилась со многими интересными людьми. Которые много раз помогали мне своими советами и рекомендациями. . В этом году будет 3 года как я собираю друзей отмечать мой день рождение в караоке. И я очень рада, что в жизни иногда происходят ситуации, благодаря которым появляются столь замечательные традиции. . И я очень благодарна всем с кем столкнула меня ��изнь. Одним - за помощь и поддержку, другим - за урок. А нескольким просто за то, что они у меня есть и всегда будут, чтобы не случилось. Как говорится мои люди всегда со мной) . Ну что с днем рождения меня!🎊🎉🎁 (at Yaroslavsky District, Moscow) https://www.instagram.com/adrianan1982/p/BzETrPNnYR0/?igshid=1h4n6448cbpwe

California’s housing crisis reaches from the homeless to the middle class — but it’s still almost impossible to fix

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles City Council gave housing advocates a lesson in why solving the statewide crisis in housing availability looks impossible to fix.

"Pure insanity," declared Councilman Paul Koretz, who represents portions of the Westside and the San Fernando Valley. Councilman David Ryu, whose district includes Sherman Oaks, the Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz and the Wilshire Boulevard "Miracle Mile," said that by creating "a housing boom for a privileged few and eviction notices for everyone else," the bill would "uproot communities and destroy neighborhoods."

Somewhere along the way, California decided that adding enough new housing is a bad thing.

Those are strong words for a bill that is manifestly a work in progress and that already has been amended by its sponsor, Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), to address local concerns. "What I asked of the L.A. City Council was to give us some space to work through issues in the bill," Wiener told me. "We have had an open door for constructive feedback."

But he’s plainly disconcerted by the intensity — indeed, the virtual unanimity — of the locally based opposition to SB 827. "Someone could write a case study about the truly odd coalition against this bill," he says. The critics include not only local politicians but community activists, environmental groups such as the Sierra Club, some labor organizations, renters’ rights groups and even progressive healthcare advocates.

That’s remarkable for a bill that aims to bring down rents for low-income families, cut commuting times and pollution, and reduce overcrowding in residential units.

At least 30% of households in every part of California–and in some places 60%–can’t afford local rents. (McKinsey & Co.)

Somewhere along the way, Wiener says, "California decided that adding enough new housing is a bad thing."

Opponents of the bill say SB 827 would open too many stable communities to ill-controlled growth. "With one broad brush, it rezones the urban state of California based on where a bus line runs," says former Los Angeles City Councilman and county Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, who is currently director of the Los Angeles Initiative at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs.

There are many reasons for California’s failure to keep up with housing demand. One is the "incumbency effect" — existing residents are hostile to changes that might increase traffic, attract residents of lower income and different ethnicities, or produce other changes that could lower their property values. Existing residents who vote plainly have more clout with their elected officials than nonresidents waiting for a chance to move in.

The state used to produce as many as 300,000 new housing units a year, but in the last decade that pace has fallen to 100,000 — about half of what’s needed. (Department of Housing and Community Development)

Whatever the reasons for California’s housing shortage, the harvest is now coming in. The state will need anywhere from 1.8 million to 3.5 million new homes by 2025 to absorb existing demand and future population growth. But its current construction pace of fewer than 80,000 new homes per year falls short by 100,000 homes a year of meeting even the lowest estimate of demand.

And much of the construction is taking place inland, far from the coastal areas hosting most of the job growth. That combination increases urban sprawl, and only substitutes transportation costs for housing costs. In Stanislaus County, parts of which are bedroom communities for the San Francisco Bay Area, average annual housing costs are about $17,280, compared with the San Francisco average of $25,056, the state assessment says. But transportation costs for San Francisco residents average only $8,919, while those in Stanislaus average $13,519. It’s still cheaper to live near Modesto and commute, but the gap is narrow — not counting the time lost on the road.

Only inland counties such as Riverside and San Bernardino have been producing enough new housing to keep prices low, but coastal counties would need to build much more to prevent their home prices from growing faster than the national average. (Legislative Analysts Office)

"As affordability becomes more problematic, people ‘overpay’ for housing, ‘over-commute’ by driving long distances between home and work, and ‘overcrowd’ by sharing space to the point that quality of life is severely impacted," warned the California Department of Housing and Community Development in its most recent housing assessment, issued in February.

The crisis threatens to cut the state’s economic boom off at the knees. The housing shortage costs California $140 billion a year — the equivalent of 6% of gross state product — according to a 2016 calculation by McKinsey & Co. That doesn’t include business opportunities or expansions forgone or relocations instituted by employers because they can’t recruit or keep workers in the state’s high-cost housing environment.

The most visible sign of the crisis is homelessness. One single sampled night in January 2015, California had nearly 116,000 homeless people — 21% of the national total, despite having only 12% of the U.S. population.

Indeed, the deepest shortfall in housing is for families earning 50% of the regional median income or less, for whom 1.5 million more units are needed. (The applicable median income for a family of four in Los Angeles County is $64,800, and in San Francisco County $115,300.) But the shortages are creeping ever higher on the income scale. In 2016, according to the 2018 housing assessment of the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the state faced a shortfall of more than a million units for households earning between 50% and 120% of the median wage; only for households earning 120% of the median or more was there even a modest surplus.

As a result, Calfornia home prices have risen much faster than in the rest of the country, fostering homelessness and threatening to brake economic growth. (LAO)

Subsidies and voucher programs exist to help low-income families spending more than 30% of their income on housing. But those programs are oversubscribed, and unlikely ever to be fully funded; providing housing assistance to all low-income Californians who don’t get it now would cost tens of billions of dollars, according to the state legislative analyst, making it the largest state expenditure outside of education.

The Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown took major steps last year to address the crisis, enacting a package of 15 bills that streamlined the permitting and environmental review process for new housing, gave developers more incentives for projects that include units for low-income residents, and took some authority away from local communities that hadn’t met housing demand yet still were blocking new developments.

Some of these measures already seem to have borne fruit. A development firm has applied to fast-track a 2,400-unit project at a dying retail mall in Cupertino, exploiting the measure allowing builders to circumvent local approvals if they’re fulfilling unmet demand with at least half their units designated for affordable housing. Although Cupertino is the headquarters of Apple, its average home price of $1.8 million places it out of reach for the vast majority of the company’s employees.

The only real solution to the state’s housing crisis is to build more housing, including market-rate units for middle-class or even higher-income residents. It’s often supposed that loosening restrictions on market-rate housing will foment gentrification of lower-income neighborhoods, leading to forced evictions of their residents, but experts say that’s a myth.

UCLA housing expert Paavo Monkkonen and two university colleagues have found little evidence that construction of market-rate and luxury apartments has cannibalized the supply of housing for low-income families. Of the 104 Los Angeles apartment projects built between 2014 and 2016 that they examined, 26 were built on vacant or nonresidential parcels. Almost all the buildings demolished were small single-family homes, meaning that the projects resulted in a big gain in available units, more than a fifth of which were affordable housing.

Wiener acknowledges that his bill may originally have defined transit corridors subject to higher-density development too loosely. His earlier amendments have strengthened controls on demolitions of existing housing and added more protection for occupants of rent-controlled units, including up to 42 months of rent if they’re displaced by new construction and the right to move into the new building at their old rent.

But he’s right to maintain that the ability of local authorities to block almost all new construction needs to be pared back if the housing crisis is to be solved. "Let’s be real," he says. "In education and healthcare, the state sets basic standards, and local control exists within those standards. Only in housing has the state abdicated its role. But housing is a statewide issue, and the approach of pure local control has driven us into the ditch."
