• Heisler: This is the Lakers succession struggle Jerry Buss hoped to avoid

  10-05-2019 22:38
  
  No, really. The Lakers just bottomed out … again.
  It was yet another bad week for Jeanie Buss’ Friends & Family, masquerading as an NBA front office … who are all still in hiding since Magic Johnson left April 9 … and, at the rate they’re going, may never be seen again.
  I’ve covered these guys since 1990, marveling at the level they functioned while being totally wacky.
  What happened was simple. Jerry Buss, who knew how to do this, passed away in 2013.

• At least 14 road cyclists were killed in Orange County traffic accidents in 2018, but there are ways to reduce the bloodshed

  National Bike to Work Week starts Monday, May 13. Good luck with that.
  My review of Orange County coroner records shows that at least 14 cyclists were killed in traffic accidents last year, an unacceptable number by any sane person’s count.
  Sure, that’s two fewer than the 16 people on bicycles killed in 2017. But that hardly matters.

• Lying lawyers still in business as state bar investigates

  10-05-2019 21:41
  
  It turns out the weary old joke about how other people can tell when lawyers are lying (when their lips are moving) might be in need of a new punchline: For some lawyers, it’s when they fill out their State Bar Association membership and renewal applications.
  That’s the stunning takeaway from a new California rule requiring lawyers to be fingerprinted not only when they apply for bar membership, but also when they apply for renewal. Just days before the April 30 fingerprinting deadli

• Homebuying slump: Sales in Irvine, Tustin drop 23% to start 2019

  10-05-2019 17:18
  
  Homebuying in Irvine and Tustin fell 23% in what was Orange County homebuying’s slowest start to a year since 2009.
  CoreLogic stats show the lowest countywide sales count for any first three months of a year since the Great Recession. It also was the third-slowest-selling first quarter in the real estate tracker’s database that dates to 1988. At the community level, sales rose in only one-sixth of Orange County’s 83 ZIP codes. With the slump, prices fell countywide, too.
