• HOA Homefront: Is it our manager or is it us?

  Many associations struggle with a poor manager relationship, resulting in frustration for both sides. However, such struggles are sometimes created by the board and not the manager. Therefore, these can be resolved by a change in board practices.
  Truly, some managers are simply not cut out for the job. The need for excellent HOA managers increases along with the growing number of community associations. However, some are poorly qualified, overloaded with too many associations, disorganized, poor

• For Democrats, it may be 1968 all over again

  03-05-2024 16:05 via ocregister.com
  
  Watching the turmoil on college campuses today, it is becoming increasingly clear that for Democrats, 1968 appears destined to repeat itself, putting President Biden’s already doubtful reelection chances in greater risk. 
  Reminiscent of 1968, when the country was also in the midst of great civil unrest, and protests against the Vietnam War spread like wildfire across the country, college campuses are again the epicenter of protests driven by the far left, which have rapidly spiraled o

• Lawmakers still turn blind eye toward our pension debt

  SACRAMENTO – When arguing about whether the Treasury needed to take urgent action to deal with soaring federal debt in the 1980s, the late former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Herb Stein coined Stein’s Law. It was simple and obvious: “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.”

  Rachel Stark didn’t return to her hometown of Perris when she was writing her debut novel, which is set in the Inland Empire city. It’s not that she didn’t want to visit her mother, who still lives in the house Stark grew up in — the two connected in other places. She just knew that the Perris where she was raised isn’t really there anymore.

• Asphalt or concrete lanes? Both are used on 405 Freeway and elsewhere

  Q. I was wondering why there are two different surface materials used in the construction of the new lanes on the 405 Freeway in Orange County. It makes for a rough ride in the areas where the two surface types adjoin. I’m sure it’s a common practice, but I’ve just noticed it on the 405 in the Fountain Valley/Westminster area with the recent completion of the freeway widening.

  The decay in American education is an alarming national security threat. Most high school or college graduates know about little more than their sexual orientation or Taylor Swift’s juvenile lyrics and strutting.

  After Jerry Brown became governor of California for the first time nearly a half-century ago, he declared that the state had entered “an era of limits.”

  If California’s population is well off its peak, and developers keep on building housing, why does the cost of living in the Golden State remain lofty?
  My trusty spreadsheet looked at fresh demographic figures from the state Department of Finance to find any hints of solving this housing riddle.
  Start with the basics: California had 38.2 million residents living in households last year – that’s down 375,800 since 2020, or a 0.9% loss. In the same timeframe, California’s h

  As to the signs held by and the slogans chanted by the “pro-Palestinian” protesters, switch out the words “Jew” or “Jewish” and insert the word “black.” The nationwide George Floyd/Black Lives Matter protests of the summer of 2020 would then look like a knitting circle.
