  Now, Duel of the Laker Titans.
  Popular as the NBA is here with two teams playing to packed houses and pulling down hundreds of millions in local TV revenue, it’s been a long time since we were actually relevant, with the Clippers still in eclipse while disappearing early in the playoffs and the Lakers coming off No. 14-14-15-14 finishes in the West.

  My loosely scientific and somewhat subjective interpretation of the market shows the super-active spring housing market begins right after the Super Bowl and peaks at Memorial Day.
  That’s the period characterized by the insurgence of the largest number of home buyers going after the lowest number of homes for sale.
  Then comes the summer market, which starts right after Memorial Day and lasts roughly until Labor Day. After that, it’s all downhill through Christmas and N

• The downside of an off-market commercial real estate deal

  24-06-2017 15:30 via ocregister.com
  
  Our commercial real estate market these days is heavily weighted toward sellers. Akin to a boxing mismatch, buyers are outclassed and must muscle up to counter the punches thrown by a market favoring seller.
  If a seller lists his commercial real estate for sale, prices it fairly – or even unfairly in some cases – and assuming the building has good amenities, a ring full of buyers crowds his corner – with gloves full of cash – shortly after the first bell.

  Secession has always held a strangely prominent place in the American imagination, and it probably always will. Restive New Englanders contemplated a break over the War of 1812 during the Hartford Convention. South Carolina champed at the bit for decades, eventually cutting ties along with a Deep South wave opposed to Lincoln’s election and an Upper South unwilling to haul the restive states back in.

  California voters are pretty good at figuring out what is going in the state capital when it hits them directly. For example, recent polling shows that citizen awareness of the $5.2 billion annual gas and car tax is very high and, incidentally, very negative.
