In California, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland have the highest rates of retail crime in America, according to the National Retail Federation. Especially stunning is that LA has held the top spot for five years running. But it’s not just stores that are reporting a whopping $112 billion in losses for 2022, smash and grab car burglaries are on the rise too. Crooks cruise California streets peering through car windows, seeing something valuable inside they break the glass and grab whatever they can. Recently a California District Attorney had her county SUV windows smashed while parked in front of…

If you drive a classic car in California, you may have to keep it in the garage. California’s Air Resources Board, or CARB, wants to make “zero emissions zones” prohibiting internal combustion engines. Currently in California, if you own a car built before 1975, you are not required to pass a Smog Check. California is seemingly targeting those car owners with proposed zero emissions zones, which are common in Europe and only allow electric vehicles (EVs), pedestrians and cyclists. It appears CARB is targeting vintage cars to meet their very aggressive net-zero carbon goal set for 2045. The agency is gathering…
The numbers are staggering. The homeless population in the city of Los Angeles is almost 46,000. More staggering than the population is the money spent on the homeless crisis. Los Angeles city has budgeted $1.2 billion (2022-2023 LA city budget) for “homeless services” including housing.

That’s a lot of money, more than some cities with the same population spend to provide services for all their citizens. Take for example Freeport, New York. Freeport has a population of almost 44-thousand people (43,808 2020 US Census). The…
California will ban the sale of new gas-powered mowers, leaf blowers and chainsaws in 2024. The zero-emissions law will only allow battery operated or plug-in electric lawn equipment. What will that mean for the 160-thousand employees working for the 50 thousand small landscaping business owners in California?? A lot of change… and a lot of cost. The change: a professional landscaper says to obey the law, will mean a complete retrofit of his workshop. New equipment and possibly hundreds of small batteries and the power to provide the surge of electricity to charge the volume of batteries and equipment each…

The Wall St. Journal reports many hotel chains have adopted additional fees for early check in and for late check out. It’s about the money. Hotel chains are making up for profits lost during the Pandemic with these sneaky new fees. At some Hyatt hotels the price to stay late goes from 50 to $100 depending on how late you want to check out. So, next time you ask to get to your room early, or if you are thinking about staying…
