"That is a fair common law principle." "But what if the city you live in refuses to enforce anti-vagrancy laws, such as bans on camping, panhandling, or public urination? What if the resulting homelessness encampments increase crime in your neighborhood and result in your home smelling like urine?" "There is no cause of action in common law against a local government for not enforcing the law. If the mayor and district attorney decide not to enforce your city’s anti-vagrancy laws, and your home suffers as a result, your only recourse is the ballot box." "Some Arizonans want to change that." "The Arizona House passed a resolution this month that places an initiative on the November ballot that would enable real property owners to win tax refunds in state court if they could show a city’s decision not to enforce anti-vagrancy laws caused monetary damage to their property." "Not only should other states copy Arizona, but they should go even further. District attorneys should be financially accountable when criminals they choose either not to prosecute or to let out on parole go on to harm again." Full article: https://lnkd.in/e9tzPGsS

How does this happen? It sounds like the contractor messed up, and actually wasn't a #city case at all, but it raises the point for when cities do abate a substandard property: triple check the address. Another question: why was the house boarded up and vacant for 15 years? #codeenforecment #localgovernment #localgov #caceo #calcities #civicalaw League of California Cities California Building Officials California Association Of Code Enforcement Officers Civica Law Group, APC ICC Orange Empire Chapter Los Angeles Basin Chapter of ICC International Code Council https://lnkd.in/gQ3GQu5p

A bill introduced in the #California #Assembly, #AB1990 or the STOP Act aims to combat organized #retailcrime by allowing peace officers to make warrantless arrests for misdemeanor #shoplifting offenses based on probable cause. Key points include: 1. The bill is authored by Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo, who cites the escalation of organized #retailtheft as a threat to businesses, the state's #economy, and #publicsafety. 2. AB 1990 would amend Section 836 of the Penal Code to permit warrantless arrests for shoplifting violations not committed in the officer's presence, based on probable cause and a sworn statement from a witness. 3. The bill passed the Assembly with a vote of 44-1, with 35 lawmakers not casting a vote, including 32 Democrats and the Assembly speaker. 4. Progressive Democrats were uncomfortable with the bill, fearing it could lead to increased harassment and incarceration of people of color for minor offenses. 5. Assemblymember Ash Kalra was the only legislator to vote "no," while others, like Assemblymember Tina Mckinnor, spoke against the bill but did not vote. 6. The article argues that not voting on controversial bills may be detrimental to lawmakers' political interests, as it can be seen as failing to represent constituents. The summary highlights the key provisions of AB 1990, the concerns surrounding its potential impact, and the voting behavior of California lawmakers on this controversial bill.

I am often confused by politicians and their lack of ability to communicate in a clear and concise manner. It is likely because many of them know they are lying straight away. "Congestion Pricing," is an absurd name for this new potential law; we should simply be calling it an additional tax and argue its merits as to whether generating more revenue on the backs of those who already currently generate most of the revenue for the city is an intelligent and reasonable way of operating to benefit folks who may or may not live here, like or approve of our way of life, and have no intention of contributing positively to our society. Claiming environmental benefits from this new tax on commuters and residents is extremely thin and baseless logic. I would ask all politicians who approve this law, where will the funds ACTUALLY go? What benefits of this additional billion dollars will there be for the taxpayers, business owners, job creators and families of this city? And please, be specific. If we can realize safer streets, better schools, better paid and motivated police officers and fire fighters and EMT's, I am in favor! Good luck to us all. https://lnkd.in/dzjpG3QV
