Save Proposition 13 for Palos Verdes Homes and the South Bay

Save Proposition 13 for Palos Verdes homes and the South Bay.

I received this email from Craig Huey today and thought it a good idea to make it a subject of my blog post for your review. Proposition 13 was and is instrumental in keeping homes affordable for hundreds of thousands of folks across the state of California. Anything done to weaken its intent will create incredible damage to budgets of so many families. The problem here in California is not a revenue one, but a spending one. Unfortunately our legislature still does not understand this. On the other hand, we get what we vote for, so as a body politic, maybe we need to look inwards to ourselves and change OUR thinking!

Proposition 13 for Palos Verdes homes

Here’s Craig’s email to me and a link where you can provide YOUR SUPPORT!

Thanks so much for your help in letting the Legislature know that we oppose the weakening of Proposition 13. As you know people will lose their homes, business owners will lose their businesses, jobs will be lost, rents will rise and taxes will increase if Proposition 13 is changed, modified or destroyed.

Proposition 13 for Palos Verdes HomesI’m sad to say that the Assembly passed a horrific modification that will unfairly raise taxes. Homeowners will have non-homeowners voting by less than a two-thirds majority to increase property taxes. Even though the politicians had said they supported Proposition 13, such as Al Muratsuchi, they were part of the liberal democratic supermajority that voted for it.

Those voting for it were the following Democrats: Alejo, Ammiano, Atkins, Bloom, Blumenfield, Bocanegra, Bonilla, Bonta, Bradford, Brown, Buchanan, Ian Calderon, Campos, Chau, Chesbro, Cooley, Daly, Dickinson, Eggman, Fong, Fox, Frazier, Garcia, Gatto, Gomez, Gonzalez, Gordon, Gray, Hall, Roger Hernández, Holden, Jones-Sawyer, Levine, Lowenthal, Medina, Mitchell, Mullin, Muratsuchi, Nazarian, Pan, Perea, V. Manuel Pérez, Quirk, Quirk-Silva, Rendon, Salas, Skinner, Stone, Ting, Weber, Wieckowski, Williams, Yamada, John A. Pérez

Be sure to remember that on election day.

The bill that the Assembly passed now goes to the State Senate. There it looks like it’s in suspense. We will keep you informed this is the case, which means it will not be voted on again until possibly next year. Thanks again for your opposition to changing Proposition 13. Please encourage others to sign the petition by going to www.saveproposition13.com, and forward this email to them. It has had a positive effect.

Best wishes,

Craig Huey Small Business Owner P.S. Again, please forward this to your friends and ask them to go to www.saveproposition13.com and sign our petition — we must stop the bill in the Senate.

“Hearst Castle” of Palos Verdes Homes

5 BEDROOMS
3 BATHROOMS (3 full)
2856 Square Feet

Breathtaking and inspiring, the architectural genius of Walter Davis flows through this home that he designed for his son.  Walter and Pierpont Davis were early pioneers of the courtyard complex, with projects of Mediterranean design dating from about 1915.  He was also the architect for the La Venta Inn, the first structure to be completed on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in 1924.  Ocean, harbor and city lights from most rooms, winding paths through lush landscaping, mystery and intrigue aat nearly every step.  This is a one in a kind property that astounds.  This is an incredible once in a lifetime opportunity to own, not only a home, but a work of art.  For example, the ceiling in the Master Suite took approximately 8 years to create.  It was inspired by the Capella Palatina, the Royal Chapel of the Norman Kings in Palermo, Sicily dating back to the 11th Century!  Think about it, anyone can own a home and hang a piece of art work on a wall; it’s something else all together to live in a work of artt!  Call or email for your private appointment.  Serious candidates only please.  For more real estate information visit http://www.homeispalosverdes.com/miraleste-homes-rancho-palos-verdes-homes/

Portuguese Bend Ocean View Real Estate

$ Click for current price

One of the more peaceful and "Norman Rockwell"-esque locations in all of Los Angeles County.  Only gated community on the Palos Verdes Peninsula (other than Rolling Hills).  This lot is nearly flat but has beautiful ocean views.  This community with equestrian and nature influence is perfect for that person/family looking for a true "escape" from the hustle and bustle for what is living in Los Angeles.  You really do feel like you’re entering another world as you cross from Palos Verdes Drive South and enter the Narcissa gate.  I can’t describe it in words; it’s something you breathe!  Lot is equestrian zoned.

South Redondo Beach Homes for Sale in the Avenues

$ Click for current price
5 BEDROOMS
5 BATHROOMS (4 full, 1 half)
4097 Square Feet

Finding balance in a home is often a tough thing to accomplish; brand new Redondo Beach homes too often have that sterile feel, and the older homes in Redondo Beach have just a ton of work you need to do to them to make them nice.  Here’s a home on the Avenues in Redondo Beach that has found that balance; built in 2010, it’s near brand new, but the fixtures, trim and styling create a very unique, warm, family styled quality Craftsmen feel.

The yard is nicely sized, larger than many in the Redondo Beach real estate market, but it’s not too large so it’s easy to maintain.  And a main feature of this sunlit back yard is the saltwater pool.  Have you ever swam in a saltwater pool?!  Ahhhhhhhhh!

Now as many know, the Avenues in Redondo Beach is an area high in demand amongst folks looking for a quality neighborhood in Southern California.  Imagine being walking distance to the shops and restaurants in the Hollywood Riviera and the beaches along the Esplanade.

Everything about this home shouts comfortable family living; the friendly neighbors, block parties, the large open kitchen and huge island around which your friends will gather.  Quality fixtures abound including the top of the line stainless steel appliances.

From top to bottom, from the welcoming front porch and yard, to the ocean views and roof top deck to the basement playroom for kids (where you can hide their playroom mess!) to the voluminous master’s suite, luxurious bathroom.  This South Redondo Beach home has it all and it’s ready for you today!

Follow this home or call/email for your private appointment!
