Former Tenant Pickets as Realtors Tries to Sell House - by SusanCurrently, I am picketing the building
I was Ellised* from in 2001 by speculators Michael Gallin and Elba Borgen.
The apartments were sold as TICs* in
2003 and 2004 after the building sat
empty for almost two years. Three of
the four apartments are for sale again as
TICs. The purpose of the picket is to
make sure prospective buyers know the
building’s history. While an Ellis Act
eviction must be recorded on the deed,
many realtors try to hide this information or omit it... Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2007 1:30AM
The Ellis Act Defined - by Fault LinesThe Ellis Act is a state law that says
landlords have the unconditional right
to evict tenants to “go out of business.”
For an Ellis eviction, the landlord must
remove all of the units in the building
from the rental market. The apartments
cannot be re-rented, except at the same
rent the evicted tenant was paying, for
five years following the evictions. There
are no such restrictions on converting
them to ownership units (e.g., tenancies
in common or condos). Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2007 1:23AM
Pacifism Summer: Revolution Summer Through the Lens of Churchill's Pacifism as Pathology - by B. RexState police, often serving as the order-preserving arms of global capitalism, have a simple formula for dissolving
groups that pose a threat to that order.
This formula has been documented for
decades in the US and has even been
applied against completely nonviolent
groups. According to Ward Churchill
in Pacifism as Pathology, reissued this
year by AK press, the existence of such
a formula brings up an inherent flaw in
the logic of American Liberals and other totally inef... Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 8:39PM
Microradio Blues: SF Liberation Radio's Court Defeat Exemplifies Federal/Corporate Control - by RubbleOn February 15, 2007, three years after its demise, San Francisco Liberation Radio’s (SFLR) case against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) finally reached the Ninth Circuit Court. This was the station’s third appearance in court, and it unfortunately reached the same conclusion as the previous
two: a decision overwhelmingly in favor of the FCC. A victory would have done nothing in regard to the station’s ability to broadcast, but would have made it more difficult for the FCC... Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 3:08PM

Clandestines Re-loaded: Leaving This Stage of History - by Ramor Ryan1. The Quiet Apocalypse of Rising Tides
Climate change is everywhere, and the somewhat momentous report released February 3 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirms that climate change is man-made, and unstoppable. The 21-page report, described as conservative by the IPCC itself, says man-made emissions of greenhouse gases are to blame for heat waves, floods and heavy rains, droughts and stronger storms (particularly in the Atlantic Ocean), melting ice-caps and rais...

Making a Killing: America's Private Army and the Business of War - by David ZlutnickOn January 20th the Iraqi resistance shot down a Blackhawk helicopter killing thirteen American soldiers. Three days later, just hours before Bush would give his State of the Union address, a Little Bird helicopter was shot down, killing five more Americans—but this incident didn’t make nearly the amount of news as the former. While the five men died in combat, they were not members of the US military. They were employees of Blackwater USA, the shining star in a new breed of corporation s... Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2007 6:12PM
Rust Belt Ruckus: Inhabiting Industrial Collapse - by Chimney SwiftStaring off of my porch toward the river I see dozens of buildings: dilapidated, sinking into the river, being demolished, and wasting away. I scan the horizon, and through the blizzard I see a huge city, a once bustling metropolis, now eerily silent. I look down my street, and on either side are vacancies; some in bad shape but the majority are inhabitable. I stand on the porch of the biggest one I could find and smile, and then I go back inside and stoke the fire. Life is good to me, and I ... Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 11:57AM

Green Is...Not PG&E: Behind the Green Ink of This Nor Cal Utilities Company - by Sakura SaundersWalking around San Francisco, you might have noticed bright green ads featuring cutesy witticisms about what “green is,” sponsored by the local utility monopoly PG&E. My favorite ad prominently displays a piece of cow dung with the quote “Green isn’t always pretty.” Here, PG&E isn’t too far off; for them, green is… a lie. Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:01PM |
