California Landlords Are Losing 6 Figures to Squatters — and Their Insurance Won’t Pay for It

Rob Casares bought a four-unit complex in South Los Angeles about 15 years ago. It was an investment and a way to provide housing in his community. Over the past three years, squatters broke into three of his units at different times. By the time the last one was removed — a process that took nearly a year — Casares told Spectrum News that the combined damage and lost rent had cost him six figures.

The Becerra era and Raman’s ‘earthquake’ in LA

TRANSITION BEGINS — In the five months between Xavier Becerra ’s come-from-behind primary victory and his general election win, he and his circle could deflect questions about his coming administration. California can only have one governor at a time, they said, and he wasn’t taking anything for granted. But now that voters have officially made him their next governor, everyone in Sacramento is racing to get some answers about what comes next: Who will Becerra hire and appoint? Which interest groups will be ascendant? What policies will he prioritize? The lobbyists, union officials and legislative leaders at his victory party offer some hints. Among the VIP’s circulating in West Sacramento were Becerra team members, including campaign hands Robbie Abelon, Kyle Layman and Lindsey Cobia — an erstwhile top Gavin Newsom deputy — and unofficial counselors like Arsenio Mataka, a former aide from Becerra’s attorney general days who focused on environmental issues. As we’ve noted elsewhere , Becerra’s sphere also includes adviser Courtni Pugh, longtime aide Liz Saldivar, veteran politico Karen Skelton, and policy adviser Nicole Elliott (another Newsom alum). Some of Sacramento’s most powerful interest groups did not endorse Becerra until it was evident he’d prevail. That made his early

Every Democratic Socialist Who Won a National Race This Election

The Democratic Socialists of America are here to stay. One of the most contentious—and misunderstood—political groups in the country rode a wave of popular support to groundbreaking victories this election. First reanimated by the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign and reaffirmed since then by a lack of imagination and initiative from the Democratic Party’s center, the DSA left wing is now firmly entrenched within the Democratic machine. Eleven DSA House and mayoral candidates won Tuesday after running on platforms emphasizing affordability, ending U.S. aid to Israel, and expanding access to health care. As a whole, with down ballot races included, DSA-endorsed candidates won 149 of the 294 races they ran in, with 37 races still undecided. Eight of them will be in the U.S. Congress next year. Here are the biggest victors: Nithya Raman — Mayor of Los Angeles Janeese Lewis George — Mayor of Washington, D.C. David Morales — Mayor of Providence, Rhode Island Angela Gonzales-Torres — House of Representatives, California Melat Kiros — House of Representatives, Colorado Donavan McKinney — House of Representatives, Michigan Darializa Avila Chevalier — House of Representatives, New York Claire Valdez — House of Representatives, New York Chris Rabb — House of Representatives, Pennsylvania Rashida
