San Francisco Bay Area Housing Crash Continues Under current conditions, a renter would be able to live in a house for 30 years, then buy that house outright with the saved principle payments, and have an extra $277,200 of savings on top of that: ($770 x 12 x 30). The renter comes out way ahead of the owner, and this doesn't even count the huge losses the owner will suffer as housing falls year after year for the next decade or more, just as in Japan....

Muni's $729,000 hammer The Chronicle's Monday editorial "A timely fare hike" endorsing a
Muni fare hike is no surprise: we progressives know the right-wing California Hearsts are pro-business/anti-consumer and responsible for leading the war to grant downtown businesses tax breaks that are forcing the city's residents to assume the financial burden of balancing San Francisco's budget.
It is also no surprise that SPUR's Jim Chappell endorsed the fare
hike: the right-wing think tank is also aligned and...

Leno, Peskin Push to Stop Speculator Evictions Board President Aaron Peskin will introduce a resolution today to put the Board of Supervisors on record in support of AB 781, which prevents speculator evictions under the state Ellis Act. Peskin's action follows a dramatic North Beach press conference last Friday (ignored by the Chronicle) where Assemblymember Leno was joined by victims of speculator evictions from across San Francisco. Opponents to the bill argue that protecting the city's rental housing stock is anti-homeownership, and ma...

UC workers are paid so little that they depend on welfare to get by First the governor proposed a rule change that could eliminate lunch breaks for California workers. Now, if a new report about the University of California is correct, it seems lunchroom workers themselves are paid so little at UC campuses that many of them qualify for nine public subsidies for the poor, including food stamps and public housing....

Schwarzenegger Threatens California State Teachers Retirement System Four big squares marked “vacant” sat alongside photos of remaining board members on the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) web site this week. It seems the squares’ former occupants (two Republicans and two Democrats) had the nerve to vote against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal to privatize pensions of all new state workers, including teachers, into a 401(k)-type system starting in 2007, and his proposal to shift onto local school districts the state’s contribution t...
