If you think it is tougher to become a homeowner in San Francisco or San Jose, think again. And if you believe it is relatively easier on the pocketbook to be a renter here than New York City, you would be equally wrong. Statistics paint a dismal picture of the L.A. housing market. In August 2015, the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs released a study titled “Impacts of the Widening Divide: Why Is LA’s Homeownership Rate So Low?” Its authors point out that “The Los Angeles metro area…has the lowest homeownership rate among metropolitan areas in the U.S.” The percentage of homeowners in this county is 46, while in New York City it is 52 percent and 54 percent in the Bay Area. It is also considerably below the national average of 64 percent. In addition, the UCLA study comments that the metropolitan statistical area of Los Angeles “has the highest average housing burden and new owner costs.” Local renters face an increasing financial burden too. In a press release published last August, Zillow indicates that in the second quarter of 2015 local tenants paid 48.9 percent of their income in rent, as opposed to 35.6 percent between 1985 and 2000. In contrast, in the New York-Northern New Jersey area the percentage is 41.3. Whatever the city, more dollars spent on rent means less to buy groceries, pay car expenses or Metro fares, obtain insurance, and have a little left over for discretionary activities or savings. A variety of factors have contributed to this housing crisis. Stagnant wages is a key one. As a Los Angeles Times editorial, “How to get more affordable housing in Los Angeles,” observed in August 2015 that “Housing prices in Los Angeles have grown four times faster than incomes since 2000.” Similarly, the UCLA study cited above notes, “Since 1970, renters in Los Angeles, particularly those in the bottom income quartile, have been severely burdened, paying more than 30% and increasingly 50% of their income in rents.” Land use regulations also play a significant role. As planner and professor Greg - ory D. Morrow described in a Los Angeles Times op-ed piece last July, “For much of the last 40 years, planning in Los Angeles has been guided by the idea that growth is bad, that more people mean more congestion, pollution and social ills. The city has emphasized ‘downzoning’—reducing the number of units allowed to be built on properties—to actively curb growth. It hasn’t worked.…since 1970, half a million more people have moved to Los Angeles than were planned for.…” With 2016 being an election year, the forecast is for continued hand wringing by candidates about the Los Angeles housing crisis. Once the electorate has spoken in November and public officials feel momentarily motivated to demonstrate a capacity to act, perhaps the scarcity of new housing development initiatives will be replaced with those actually leading to more affordable single-family homes and apartments being built. This includes adoption of local inclusionary zoning ordinances for market-rate residential developments and adoption of state and federal tax incentives to promote housing. For those looking for a clean, decent, safe place to put their feet up after a hard day at work, the hope is that speeches are replaced with real change beginning now. n Ted M. Handel’s practice with the Business and Real Estate Group of Valensi Rose, PLC, focuses on real estate transactions and corporate law matters. He is the coordinating editor of the Real Estate Law special issue of Los Angeles Lawyer. 6 Los Angeles Lawyer January 2016 on direct INTERVIEW BY DEBORAH KELLY Daniel M.

  • Risk Management Strategies for Cattlemen
    RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR CATTLEMEN Kurtis Ward – President/CEO www.kisokc.com As a former agricultural loan officer, I witnessed first-hand the effects that the Dairy Herd Buyout Program had on the Cattle Market of 1986. During this time, I became intrigued by cattlemen who used some form of risk management (Futures, Options, Forward Contracting, etc.) as compared to those who did nothing but speculate on the cash market. It didn’t take long to observe which group made better financial and marketing decisions (perhaps that “hedging stuff” that my college professors were teaching was really important after all). This market event caused my loan officer career to be transformed into a new profession as a commodity futures broker who specialized in risk management strategies for cattlemen. However, my naïve belief back then was that everyone else was having this “illumination” about cattle hedging at the same time. In the 1980’s, it was said that less than 5% of cattlemen were involved in risk management. Fifteen years later, things haven’t changed much which is quite surprising when you look at the total dollars now at risk in any cattle operation. After what we’ve seen during the cattle market of the past two years, I truly believe that cattlemen cannot afford to be just cattlemen any longer. Rather, they must first be “businessmen” who incidentally invest their, time, money and livelihood in a cattle operation. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to quickly review the basics of several risk management strategies in a way that is very simplistic so that the foundational hedging precepts can be easily understood.

In particular, I received instructive input from Dr. Gero Schindlmayr. He suggested many of the problems that have been covered in this work. In numerous discussions he gave insight into physical and financial details of commodities and commodity markets. I also benefited from his suggestions on aspects of the mathematical models and their applicability to practical questions. I take the opportunity to thank my academic advisor Professor Dr. R¨udiger Kiesel who initiated the collaboration with EnBW from the university’s side and who supported my studies in every possible respect. I highly appreciate his confidence in my work and his encouragement which resulted in an enjoyable working environment that goes far beyond the usual conditions. I thank the members of the Institute of Financial Mathematics at Ulm University, in particular Gregor Mummenhoff, Clemens Prestele and Matthias Scherer, for the many mathematical and non-mathematical activities that enriched my time in Ulm.

  • A Landowner's Guide to Fence Law in Texas
    EAG-029 1/17 A Landowner’s Guide to Fence Law in Texas Tiffany D. Lashmet James D. Bradbury Assistant Professor Partner, James D. Bradbury, PLLC and Extension Specialist Austin–Fort Worth Kyle K. Weldon Student, Texas A&M University School of Law ii Preface This book arose out of a late afternoon call from a rural county in Texas. Two landowners could not agree on a fencing question and called the county for help. The county judge called us, and after a few minutes of discussion regarding the question, we realized that Texas landowners need a field guide for fencing questions. The three of us work with Texas landowners, and we get more questions about fencing than any other topic. And, while there are thousands of miles of barbed wire across the state, we lack an easy-to-use resource to answer the everyday questions that arise between landowners. Another lengthy law book would not fit in the glove box of a pickup, so we kept this short and easy-to-follow. It may not answer every question, but it should cover most. And, remember, the law will never substitute for an understanding between two neighbors over a cup of coffee. iii iv Table of Contents iii Preface 1 Introduction 3 Liability for Livestock on the Roadway 3 Open Range vs. Closed Range 3 Local Stock Laws 7 U.S. and State Highways 9 Landowners and Emergency Responders 9 Road/Highway Liability Examples 11 Liability for Livestock on Neighboring Land 11 My neighbor’s cattle are on my land.
