we have seen over the past two decades at City Hall.

ELECT MAYOR AND CITY ATTORNEY No system is perfect, but Glendale voters should demand a change by our elected officials.

It is always about character and record, and not about ethnic background, race, gender, religion, etc., that matters and makes for a trustworthy elected or staff official.

It is hoped that Glendale voters will demand the council to place council districts (five or seven) and an elected mayor and elected city attorney, voted upon by all Glendale voters, on the March 2020 ballot. This could be a good start and direction for healing the wounds of fraudulent conduct by those in power.

Having small council districts would create a more representative and accountable form of government. Small districts would make it easier for council candidates to walk their districts and raise campaign money. The district council person would be closer to the needs of his or her constituents. Plus, having an elected mayor, voted by all Glendale voters, would make the mayor’s position more important than the present cer-

emonial mayor we have today.

The elected mayor would vote on council issues, hold office for four years, unless re-elected, conduct all council meetings, and be the spokesperson for the city.

Presently, the city manager and City Council appoint the city attorney, who becomes responsible to the council fi rst and then the voting electorate. Having an elected city attorney would make the city attorney responsible to the voting electorate fi rst and not the City Council.

Having a strong elected mayor and elected city attorney would help the most to eliminate some of the shenanigans

I think it is high time for legislation that would require landlords to allow pets. Since 1982 they have been required to allow children. It’s a double standard because children make more noise and cause more damage. I know from experience because I lived at an apartment complex that had noisy children. The resident manager’s grandson urinated in the parking lot in mid-daylight — right in front of his grandfather.

This is an excerpt from the American Apartment Owners Association (AAOA) about whether or not to allow pets: Reasons for Pets: Numbers of Pet Owners If you’re not renting to pet owners, you’re missing out on a huge portion of the population. According to the APPA, or American Pet Products Association, Americans own 95.6 million cats and 83.3 million dogs. To put that in terms of households, 45.3 million

households own at least one cat and 56.7 million households own at least one dog. If you don’t allow pets, you’re missing out on potential renters.

Reasons Against Pets: Pets Damage Property The problem most landlords face when a tenant moves out is the cost of replacing and repairing items damaged by pets. This includes replacing carpets, fi xing scratches on doors, chewed items, and general damage. This is indeed a potential problem, especially if the tenant has poorly behaved pets. A damage deposit should be able to mitigate those issues.

This reason is very weak.

That’s what a deposit is for!

Any damage caused by pets gets fi gured into the deposit.

Landlord’s Liability In some circumstances, landlords have been held liable for aggressive or vicious dogs. For that reason, some landlords have restricted the breeds to what is outside of so-called “dangerous breeds” or even have limited size when it comes to pets. However, the landlord’s liability is limited. According to Nolo’s legal encyclopedia, the landlord can only be held responsible if the landlord knew the dog was vicious and did not have the dog removed, or the landlord cared for or kept the dog.

If you’re concerned about the potential dog’s behavior, you could insist that the owner produce a record of the dog’s Canine Good Citizen® title that is awarded by the American Kennel Club, or AKC. This title is offered to all breeds and mixed breeds by the AKC and demonstrates the dog’s ability to behave correctly in a variety of different circumstances.

This does not explain why landlords don’t allow cats. In fact, there is a dog that doesn’t even live here. He lives with people who are homeowners and he frequently gets out. ~ MIKE JOHANSEN VIA EMAIL

BY ROBIN STREICHLER

EARTH BE DAMNED! JEFF BEZOS, SPACE EXPLORATION AND THE DEMISE OF OUR PLANET

In the guise of sounding environmentally concerned, Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has lofty futuristic plans. He explains in a recent CBS News interview why he’s pouring much of his fortune into his Blue Orbit space-exploration company to move “pollution generating industries” into space.

This idea, suggested as a means to save our planet, is coming from the same man who in September purchased 20,000 diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter delivery vans — not one electric vehicle among them — in stark contrast to companies like UPS, which is expanding its electric fleet and using best practices to reduce their environmental impact.

In fact, environmental leadership at Amazon is so bad that over 4,500 employees are pushing Bezos to stop peddling technology that aids in oil and gas exploration and to take a real stand to reduce the company’s massive carbon footprint.

Seen in this light, does Bezos’ seemingly magnanimous rationale for his space company’s contribution toward saving Earth still sound right to anyone?

The fact that the mainstream news media doesn’t even question Bezos’ preposterous and misguided priorities and hypocritical actions only underscores a collective misunderstanding of the urgency of what realistically needs to be done to save our planet.

With the massive amount of focus and money it would take to move our filthy, wasteful ways to space stations, the moon, or other planets, we could instead be directing all of those resources toward developing the best nonpolluting technologies on Earth.

I’m as excited as the next person about the idea of exploring space. But squandering precious resources on these types of plans at this critical moment seems more like a push for short-term profits for private space companies than a viable strategy to help save humans and over 50 percent of all species on Earth possibly doomed to extinction by the year 2050 if action isn’t taken now.

The sane priority is to mobilize all hands on deck to save our planet so that after we have overcome this crisis we can flourish, create and explore humankind’s greatest potentials — even in space. Otherwise, we will surely be facing endless years of damage control or even flat-out extinction.

A recent United Nations report says we have less than 12 years to mitigate the most dire effects of global warming. To not only meet but beat that deadline will take more cooperation, dedication and talent than any space mission. The message to convey is not only that we can do this, but that we must do this.

The pervasive childlike magical thinking that we have the time and luxury to not focus our science, technological and space-related research and development on solving our planet’s climate crisis seems to have hypnotized our generation at a time that is screaming out for us to take clear and sober action.

I recently saw “Apollo 11: The Immersive Live Show,” now playing in the Lunar Dome at the Rose Bowl, a story of human potential exemplified by the Apollo missions. Yet, this production also sends a misguided message that Earth’s ability to sustain life won’t last very long, so we have to focus on our space endeavors to colonize other planets.

In other words, even though the story celebrates our great achievements in space, it simultaneously suggests that we somehow cannot harness the same ingenuity to save our own planet.

How realistic is it to suggest that we can just hop on a spaceship to another planet without trying to save our own? That might work in a science fiction fi lm, but in reality that type of mindset would only lead to unprecedented suffering by all of Earth’s life forms.

And Mars might be good for explorers and industry, but even in bad shape, Earth would still be more habitable.

These escape-to-space ideations dangerously distract from the real work in front of us to clean up our own mess on Earth.

Suggesting that right now our primary focus should be colonizing other planets or building polluting factories in space promotes an unsettlingly and apparently widespread sense of normalcy around the concept of mass extinction.

The Apollo missions conveyed hope for the great feats we can achieve by working together. As we celebrate the anniversary of the moon walk, which fuels excitement and discussion around future space exploration, let us not forget that our innovative spirit is exactly what is needed to help us confront and overcome the many problems that we currently face here at home. ■ Robin Streichler is a Los Angeles-based writer who has written for National Geographic Television.

TENANT REVOLT

GENTRIFICATION LEADS TO EVICTION FOR MEMBERS OF THE WASHINGTON 16

BY JAMES FARR

O

n Tuesday, June 11, the Inglewood City Council unanimously approved permanent rent control, limiting rent increases to 5 percent annually. It was a victory for the residents of Inglewood and a benchmark for surrounding cities, such as Pasadena, which shares a similar housing crisis among its renting residents.

The latest victims of the crisis are the Washington 16, a group of tenants of a 20-unit apartment complex located on East Washington Boulevard who were served with a no-fault, 60-day notice to vacate.

On Friday, July 26, about 30 people, including the four members of the Washington 16 still living in the building, protested in front of landlord Jeff Lee’s posh Arcadia home.

PJ Johnson, who has already moved out of the building, led the demonstrators and demanded Lee return tenant deposits and abide by the city’s Tenant Protection Ordinance.

Much like the Inglewood tenants, and so many before them, the Washington 16 found themselves in dire need of assistance from the Pasadena City Council.

How It Went Down ...

Tenants were instructed by council staff to appear at 7:30 p.m.

Monday, June 10 as their issue was listed as Item No. 21 on the agenda.

It seemed like an ideal time; it accommodated the residents’ evening hours and allowed ample time for people, many of whom had not been to a City Council meeting, to become acquainted with the rules and procedures.

Working parents with their children (noted by the council), night shift workers who cut into their family and dinner time prior to work, and Jose Soriano, a college student who missed the first meeting of a summer course so he could attend the council meeting, were among

the Washington 16 members who spoke.

Their concerns were unambiguous. Would the city help the tenants negotiate with the landlord? Would the city help negotiate a longer move out period? Would the city provide financial assistance?

Specifically, financial assistance with the bridge time — the time between when they are paying rent for a place they can’t live in anymore and the deposit they have to come up with for their new homes. Further, what about the return of their deposits which the landlord has to return within 21 days of their last day of tenancy? That was something which no one expected the landlord to do in good faith.

Another question was whether the city was comfortable with forking over $5,000 per household to get their residents new accommodations.

What was the city prepared to do?

Calling the agenda item before the previously scheduled time, or before all of the residents of the Washington 16 had arrived, was not only a mistake, but it reinforced the residents’ mistrust in the process and lack of confidence in their city leaders. And to be honest, while foul language is not ideal in front of children, do you know what’s worse? Feeling like your time doesn’t matter and getting evicted from your home. Eviction is worse than any fourletter word hurled around by a council meeting interloper.

At least one tenant notified both Council member John Kennedy and Vice Mayor Tyron Hampton’s offices regarding their plight. No meeting was arranged. No help was provided upon that outreach. At least one of the tenants also called city Housing Director Bill Huang, and as of that Monday meeting there was no response. The city has the info of the building, the tenants who spoke, and those who contacted their council members and city departments. One would expect the outreach to come from the city, not the other way around. Comment cards have contact information. And how else can the city assist?

Grocery store workers will take part in a rally at 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug.1, in front of Ralphs Supermarket, 3601 E. Foothill Blvd.

The gathering is being held in solidarity with other supporters across Southern California who will be rallying for higher wages at other locations.

Currently, 60,000 members of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) are working without a contract at Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons and Pavilions grocery stores.

Pasadena has three Ralphs supermarkets, three Vons and two Pavilions.

The two sides are currently in contract negotiations. Grocery store owners tried to slash cashier’s pay by 25 percent and eliminate payouts on unused sick days, according to a story in the Los Angeles Times.

“With a balanced approach, this agreement can be a win for everyone — our associates, our communities, and our company,” Ralphs President Mike Murphy wrote in a statement.

The union is asking for higher wages for its members, as well as better health coverage and pensions. It’s also taking aim at a two-tier system that places a lower cap on wages for food service workers in the deli and bakery departments.

The union voted to strike in June. The strike vote was supported by 96 percent of the union, but so far employees have not walked off the job.

In 2003, 70,000 employees of Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons picketed outside stores for four months. Support for the employees took a hit at that time after 14 major wildfires broke out across Southern California, including Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside counties. During the crisis, residents began stocking up on items, leaving the shelves near empty.

Eighty-six percent of union workers voted to ratify a contract that included affordable health care benefits for new and current workers with no weekly employee premiums in the first two years, and only nominal payments if needed in the third year.

Employee contributions of nearly $190 million were used to rebuild the health plan reserves and a combined pension fund for new hires and current employees.

‘FREEDOM FOR ALL’

REP. SCHIFF COMING TO ALL SAINTS TO SPEAK AGAINST WHITE SUPREMACY

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) will discuss white supremacy from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday at All Saints Church, Adam Schiff 132 N. Euclid Ave., Pasadena.

“I will be joining clergy and leaders from diverse faith groups in our community to discuss how we can work together to combat bigotry and discrimination, and ensure our country continues to be one that promotes values of pluralism, acceptance, and freedom for all,” Schiff said in a prepared statement.

The event comes on the heels of several comments by President Donald Trump and a mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival last Sunday that left three people dead and 12 people injured.

“Read Might is Right,” by Ragnar Redbeard, 19 year-old Santino William Legan, the shooter, posted on his Instagram page.

The book, published in the late 1800s, has been described as a white supremacist text that promotes anarchy, according to CNN. In July, President Trump came under fire after he tweeted that four congresswomen of color should “go back to where they came from.”

Only one of the four freshman congresswomen, Ihlan Omar, is not from the United States.

Days after the tweet, Trump supporters chanted “Send her back,” at a campaign rally in North Carolina. The president later condemned the chant, and claimed he tried to stop it, but video showed he stood for nearly 15 seconds as the crowd chanted.

Sponsored by the Muslim Public Affairs Counsel, the Islamic Center of Southern California, IKAR and All Saints Church, the evening will include panel discussions with community and faith leaders in conversation with Schiff. Panelists include theologian Andre Henry, Omar Ricci, chairman of the Islamic Center of Southern California, Brooke Wirtschafter, director of community organizing at IKAR, Salam Al-Marayati, president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council and Susan Russell, senior associate for communications at All Saints Church.

“I think this a crucial conversation that the community needs to have on race and the divisions in our country. Are we a pluralistic society or one that will go back to the days of segregation?” said Al-Marayati. n

LAW OF FORCE

BILL CHANGES WHEN OFFICERS CAN LEGALLY USE DEADLY FORCE

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN

A bill designed to give the public more power in holding police officers accountable when they use deadly force cleared the state Legislature and is headed to Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign.

Shirley Weber Assembly Bill 392, the California Act to Save Lives, would force officers to rely on de-escalation techniques, such as verbal persuasion and crisis intervention methods, instead of resorting to using lethal force.

According to the bill’s author, Assemblywoman Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), officers will be able to use lethal force not when they think it is “reasonable,” but only when it is “necessary,” and if there are no other options. Prosecutors and juries will be charged in each case to determine if lethal force was justified, The bill still allows officers to immediately use deadly force in cases in which they face imminent danger.

Weber’s bill was co-sponsored by fellow Democratic Assemblyman Chris Holden, a former Pasadena City Council member.

Under terms of the bill, police can resort to deadly force if “the officer reasonably believes, based on the totality of the circumstances, that deadly force is necessary to defend against an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or to another person,” states the text of the measure, “or to apprehend a fleeing person for a felony that threatened or resulted in death or serious bodily injury, if the officer reasonably believes that the person will cause death or serious bodily injury to another unless the person is immediately apprehended.”

The bill was introduced shortly after two Sacramento police officers fatally shot Stephon Clark in March 2018. Police identified Clark as a suspect after responding to 911 calls. After chasing Clark into the backyard of his grandmother’s home, officers mistook Clark’s cellphone for a gun and shot him eight times.

The Sacramento District Attorney’s office declined to charge the officers, claiming the two officers genuinely feared that Clark had a gun, and therefore the shooting was justified and the officers “acted lawfully.”

Clark’s death prompted outrage and calls for reform in the state’s rules on police use of deadly force. AB392 made it through the Assembly in May and passed through the Senate on July 22 by a vote of 34-3.

The bill has been changed from its original form in order to gain support from the law enforcement community, according to the Sacramento Bee. n 08.01.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 9

TENANTS AND HOMEOWNERS AGREE: PASADENA NEEDS RENT CONTROL

BY PETER DREIER

T

he vast majority of Pasadena voters want rent control and protections for tenants against unfair evictions.

That’s the clear finding of a recent poll conducted by David Binder Research, one of California’s most reputable pollsters.

The scientific survey conducted earlier this year reveals that 69 percent of Pasadena voters want the Pasadena City Council to adopt a rent control law that would put an annual limit on the amount a landlord can raise the rent. An even larger number of voters — 82 percent — support a local law to prevent landlords from evicting tenants without a just cause, such as not paying rent, destruction of property, or exhibiting loud or violent behavior.

More than three-quarters (81 percent) of renters and more than half (55 percent) of homeowners embrace rent control. Even more — 88 percent of renters and 74 percent of homeowners — want the City Council to adopt a just cause eviction law.

The poll found that an overwhelming majority of voters in each City Council district wants the City Council to adopt these two measures. Support for a law to limit landlords’ annual rent increases ranges from 58 percent in District 6 (represented by Steve Madison) to 80 percent in District 5 (Victor Gordo). Support for a just cause eviction law ranges from 74 percent in District 7 (Andy Wilson) to 90 percent in District 5 (Gordo).

The poll also found widespread support for both measures across all demographic groups. For example, 78 percent of 18-38 year olds, 68 percent of 39-54 year olds, 61 percent of 55-73 year olds, and 62 percent of voters over 74 support rent control. It also found strong support among white (65 percent), Latino (78 percent), Asian (74 percent) and African-American (76 percent) voters. The poll revealed that 78 percent of Democrats, 73 percent of those with no party preference, and 37 percent of Republicans support rent control. The level of support for a just-cause eviction was even higher among each of these groups.

The poll, sponsored by Pasadenans Organizing for Progress (POP), surveyed a representative sample of 700 registered voters in Pasadena.

Sleeping Giants Last year, tenant and community groups put Proposition 10 on the statewide ballot. It would have repealed the Costa-Hawkins Act, passed in 1995, which prohibits cities from 10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.01.19

adopting strong rent controls. Under the current law, landlords can raise rents to market levels whenever a tenant leaves voluntarily or is evicted. Proposition 10 would have returned power to cities by allowing them to set their own rent control rules.

The real estate industry spent $75 million to defeat Proposition 10, most of it used to perpetrate a confusing propaganda campaign designed to scare homeowners and confuse tenants. Even so, about 55 percent of Pasadena voters supported Proposition 10.

But the defeat of Proposition 10 may have backfired by unleashing a dramatic revival of tenant activism at the local level across California.

That local activism is creating pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature to address the housing crisis. One bill that is gaining momentum is AB 1482, an “anti-rent gouging” measure that, similar to a new Oregon law, would make it illegal for landlords to raise rents more than 7 percent, plus the Consumer Price Index, in one year.

It also includes a provision that would only allow landlords to evict tenants with “just cause.” Housing activists consider the bill too moderate —— the CPI averages about 2.5 percent in California, it exempts buildings constructed in the past 10 years, and it would expire in 2023 — but they view it as an important first step. In early July the Assembly passed the bill, with Pasadena Assemblyman Chris Holden in support. The Senate will soon vote on the bill and housing activists are hoping that Sen. Anthony Portantino will cast a “yes” vote.

But Pasadena officials shouldn’t avoid dealing with the housing crisis by waiting for the state government to act.

Cities still have the authority to pass tenant protection policies that can provide more security and stability to vulnerable renters and protect the existing inventory of affordable rental housing. Unlike Proposition 10, the Binder Research poll was not confusing.

It asked voters two straightforward questions: Do you want the Pasadena City Council to adopt a rent control law and just-cause eviction law?

Of course, the fact that Pasadenans overwhelming support these two policy ideas doesn’t mean that the City Council will adopt them into law. For that to happen, public opinion has to be transformed into political activism.

It won’t be an easy fight. The real estate industry — including landlords, developers, bankers and contractors — is the largest contributor of campaign donations. Not one of the Pasadena’s City Council members is a tenant. Some own rental property. Some may

have swallowed the real estate industry’s propaganda that tenants’ rights laws are a bad idea.

Local politicians haven’t felt much pressure because renters have not been well-organized. Their voices have rarely been heard in the corridors of political power and in the media.

But that is changing. Tenants are now the sleeping giants of American politics. Around the country, renters — middle class as well as poor — can’t afford to buy a home. Faced with the prospect of being long-term renters, they have their backs against the wall.

They’ve become better organized and bolder, voting in larger numbers, and engaging in protests and even civil disobedience to highlight their grievances.

Tenants’ rights have become hot-button issues in a growing number of cities and states. Oregon recently passed a statewide rent control law. Tenants in New York City won a major victory that strengthened the local rent control law. Housing advocates in Washington State, Massachusetts, Illinois and elsewhere are gaining momentum for rent control.

We haven’t seen such an upsurge of tenant activism in California since the late 1970s.

Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Berkeley, Oakland, West Hollywood, and San Francisco have long had some form of rent control and just-cause laws, but a growing number of cities have joined them, including Beverly Hills, East Palo Alto, Emeryville, Glendale, Hayward, Maywood, Mountain View, Palm Springs, Richmond, San Diego, San Jose, Thousand Oaks, and Union City.

Some of these victories occurred in the past few months. After four years of organizing, the Uplift Inglewood coalition recently persuaded the Inglewood City Council to pass a permanent rent control law along with a just-cause eviction policy and tenant relocation ordinance. Rents are capped at 5 percent per year. In Culver City, the City Council voted 4 to 1 to adopt a one-year rent freeze and to consider permanent caps on rent hikes. The Long Beach City Council recently passed a tenant relocation ordinance that requires landlords to pay tenants up to $4,500 when she/he increases rents more than 10 percent or the renter is evicted without cause. Alameda adopted a just cause law and permanent rent control. Hayward adopted mandatory rent mediation and expanded its just cause protections. Other grassroots campaigns are underway in Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Concord, El Cerrito, Santa Barbara, Glendale, Santa Ana, San Diego, and other cities to adopt or strengthen tenant protections.

Victims of Gentrification Pasadena is ripe for a revival of tenant activism. In fact, it has already begun, which isn’t surprising, given the magnitude of the housing crisis.

Over half (56 percent) of Pasadena residents are renters. They are a diverse group.

Among them, 39 percent are white, 28 percent are Latino, 18 percent are Asian, and 13 percent are African American. As prices skyrocket, it has become more and more difficult to buy a home, particularly so for blacks and Latinos because of years of bank redlining and predatory lending. The homeownership rate for African Americans (32 percent) and Latinos (33 percent) is much lower than for Asians (46 percent) and whites (51 percent). Homeowners have twice the household income compared with renters — $115,074 to $55,752.

Pasadena is one of the most expensive places to live in California. The median price of a single-family home in Pasadena increased from $680,000 in 2013 to $960,000 in 2018, an increase of 41.2 percent. During that same period, the average price of a single-family home increased from $919,599 to $1,239,966, a 34.8 percent increase. Many current homeowners who purchased their homes a decade or more ago could not afford to buy the same home today.

In the past five years, the median rent for a two-bedroom apartment has increased from $2,139 to $2,695, according to Zillow. That amounts to a 26 percent increase — much faster than increases in incomes. A family needs to earn $108,000 a year to pay a $2,695 monthly rent without spending over 30 percent of its income — the rule-of-thumb among housing experts. (This doesn’t even include utilities). But three-quarters of Pasadena’s renter households have incomes below $100,000. The American Dream of homeownership is out of reach for most of them.

High rents make it almost impossible for tenants to save money for a down payment.

More than half (52 percent) of all Pasadena renters pay over 30 percent of household incomes just to keep a roof over their heads. A whopping 95 percent of renters with household incomes under $35,000 spend more than 30 percent of their incomes on housing. Many Pasadena renters spend more than half their income on rent, plunging many full-time workers into poverty and, for the most vulnerable, homelessness.

The housing developments approved by the city have exacerbated this situation. Ac-

cording to city data, only 18 percent of the 5,311 new housing units approved by the City Council since 2002 are within reach of low-income and moderate-income families. Most are luxury condos and expensive apartments targeted for high-income residents. For example, in the new 201-unit Avila apartment complex on Walnut Street, 171 units are market rate. Rents for two-bedroom apartments range from $3,680 to $4,300 a month.

Many Pasadena landlords evict families in order to cash in on gentrification. On any given block, the appearance of new luxury housing means that your once-affordable street is about to become unaffordable.

These human tragedies happen all the time in Pasadena. One recent example is Nathaniel Cooke, who has been a Pasadena city employee for the last 35 years and whose family has been in Pasadena for four generations. He’s been a model tenant, paid his rent on time, and even helped improve the property by providing outdoor maintenance for free. But he recently received a 60-day eviction notice and will be moving to another community and have to commute to his job in Pasadena.

“Landlords should not be allowed to evict tenants without just cause,” Cooke told the City Council in May. “If we had real protections for tenants in Pasadena, this would not be happening to my grandsons and me.”

Another victim of Pasadena’s housing crisis is Victoria Baker, who has lived in her apartment on East Washington Boulevard for 22 years. In June, Davis and the other tenants in the 16-unit building were given eviction notices and told to leave their apartments within 60 days.

“How do they expect us to move?” Baker said. “I have a job where I’m able to sustain.

But having to leave where I’m at (and move to an apartment) where rent is going to be $1,800, $2,000 — it’s kind of hard.”

Rent control is a popular and effective policy to prevent displacement and maintain affordable homes for tenants. Rent control does not freeze rents. It allows landlords to increase rents on an annual basis, typically based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. It also allows landlords to recover the costs of capital improvements. It simply stops landlords from gouging tenants to take advantage of the severe shortage of affordable housing. The landlord lobby and developers who seek to protect soaring real estate profits perpetuate the myth that local rent control would slow down new housing construction, but evidence from cities around the country with rent control shows that it has no impact, because it exempt newly built housing.

Today’s skyrocketing rents hurt the local economy. Tenants who spend too much of their income on rent don’t have much left over to spend in local stores and other businesses. So rent control is pro-business. If it was smart, the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce would support rent control.

The Pasadena Unified School District has lost many students because parents can’t afford rising rents and have had to move to other cities. The housing crisis hurts students because unstable housing — and frequent moves — means that they have to frequently change schools and suffer from the emotional trauma of eviction.

Pasadena certainly needs to expand the supply of affordable housing. To that end, city officials should strengthen the “inclusionary housing” law to require developers of market-rate apartments or condos to incorporate at least 20 percent of the units for lowand moderate-income occupants, like janitors, retail clerks, nurses, and school teachers.

They should also identify a permanent revenue source for the city’s affordable-housing trust fund and require all developers to build mixed-income housing.

But we cannot simply build our way out of this severe housing crisis. It will take years to build enough affordable housing to make any serious inroads. Meanwhile, rising rents and evictions are an immediate crisis for thousands of families. The City Council should put a priority on safeguarding the existing inventory of affordable rental housing and protect renters from arbitrary evictions and displacement.

Time to Organize Several local groups — including Pasadenans Organizing for Progress (POP) and the Pasadena Tenants Union (PTU) — are now organizing to get the city to adopt rent control and just-cause eviction laws. Under the banner of the Pasadena Tenants Justice Coalition, They’ve begun enlisting the support of faith-based congregations, community organizations, civil rights and civil liberties groups, and labor unions to support the cause. Indeed, the issues facing renters and union members — hotel workers, janitors, security guards, garment workers, day care workers, nurses, grocery workers, and grocery store clerks, as well as nurses, school teachers and municipal employees — overlap. A pay raise can be quickly wiped out by a rent increase. An eviction notice can threaten their families’ stability.

What’s needed now is a multipronged effort to push city officials to adopt policies that –CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

A Natural Choice GLENDALE’S WILD OAK CAFÉ OFFERS GOOD FOOD, OUTDOOR VIEWS AND SUMMER SUNSHINE

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO

s we reach the midway point of summer, now is a good time to look at a quintessential element of California fun that I found to be nearly non-existent on a recent trip to Seattle — outdoor dining.

To enjoy the Southern California sunshine I headed to Glendale where I found Wild Oak Café, a picnic-esque casual dining spot in a now-converted convenience store tucked into the hills behind the Chevy Chase Country Club.

Wild Oak Cafe sits alone, nestled into the base of an evergreen hillside.

Utilizing the architectural bones of a gas station convenience store, Wild Oak blends easily with the naturally beautiful landscape to create a cozy, cafe atmosphere. The red awning, which looks like it covered an old-school gas pump a half-century ago, now acts as shade for Wild Oak’s main dining area, an outdoor patio.

The once concrete floor has been replaced by weathered–looking wood slatted flooring. A vintage Model T sits just off the patio, alongside a tree, and holds pots of bright flowers. To order, you head inside where hints of a convenience store still stand, like the floor-to-ceiling refrigerators at the back that are filled with craft beers, bottled water and juices. Most of the interior has been replaced with

EL PORTAL 695 E. Green St., Pasadena (626)795-8553 Elportalrestaurant.com $$ Pasadena Weekly readers have been rewarding El Portal with the title of Best Mexican Food in the city for years. This charming little hacienda with brick walls, festive colors, fine art and a California elegant courtyard brings the authentic cuisine of Mexico and the Yucatan region to your table.

a kitchen, espresso station and pastry case, all visible behind the counter where orders are placed.

For better or worse, Wild Oak’s menu covers everything from all-day breakfast options, soups, steak sandwiches, chicken bowls and spinach salad to Portobello mushroom burgers, date smoothies, pressed juices and all kinds of coffee and espresso concoctions.

I visited at midday on a Sunday, the perfect time for my crew and me to check out their breakfast and lunch options. I nearly had a breakdown while perusing the photo-heavy menu which made every option appear equally as delicious. However, as nearly every food item on the menu is over $10, with most options closer to $20, I could not justify ordering quite as much as I typically would. The egg white breakfast burrito ($13) had all the staples — spinach, bell peppers, onions, cheese and salsa, with a choice of breakfast potatoes or hash browns inside. The burrito was smaller in size than the typical Southern California breakfast burritos that mom and pop shops like Lucky Boy have made us become accustomed to. I understand that egg whites are less voluminous than their higher-in-cholesterol yellow cousins, but the fact that it was smaller in size, higher in cost and about 80 percent potatoes and tortilla left me regretting my choice. I will give the benefit of the doubt and say the regular breakfast burrito ordered with hash browns would be a better choice in terms of bang for your buck, especially because for the same price ($13) as the egg white version you get bacon and sausage to occupy some space in the tortilla.

The French toast ($14) described on the menu as “fresh artisan bread stuffed with cream cheese and orange marmalade” came out as nearly an entirely different menu item. Rather than the bread being stuffed it was more like a spread of cream cheese and marmalade between the triangle slices, although the strawberries served on top of the

dish were a pleasant surprise that made up for the slightly misleading description.

On the cafe side of the menu, they have Armenian coffee ($3.50) which nails the bitter, full body balance you need in that delectable hit of caffeine. On the “do it for the Instagram” side of the menu is the rainbow flower latte ($8), topped with milk foam and contained in a glass with a mix of food coloring. A work of culinary artistry undoubtedly, but that adds nothing to the flavor besides a few extra dollars and some extra stress on the barista. I recommend sticking with the regular latte ($5) instead.

Wild Oak is a great date spot and neighborhood hangout. The outdoor location is dog friendly and there is plenty of shade and seating on even the hottest of summer days. As seemingly isolated as the space is, it provides a hub for the golfers next door to swing by and pick up some alcohol to-go or a quick bite before their round. As you sit on the patio you can watch the regulars who live in the mansions above Wild Oak stopping by for their daily coffee in their Maseratis and BMWs and all the Instagram influencers using the flower covered Model-T as a backdrop for pictures of their rainbow coffees.

Wild Oak is about the experience and the atmosphere as much if not more than the food.

For a converted gas station out of the way, it is understandable why they need to have a rainbow coffee; and with a neighboring community of multimillion-dollar homes I cannot blame them for having slightly higher prices than most fast-casual cafes.

While I was not the most impressed by the food, I respect the quaint charm and atmosphere of Wild Oak. It is a great first date spot, or a place to visit after a hike when you are not quite ready to be too disconnected from the outdoors, or just to stop by and grab some white claws to go.

THE PENDULUM EFFECT

DON’T SWING TOWARD MEETING YOUR MATE’S DESIRES AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR DAUGHTER’S LOVE Dear Patti, I’ve been divorced for four years and have never been with anyone that I’ve been so crazy about, until now. I met Anna six months ago and it’s been wonderful. She’s beautiful, exciting, fun, and very sexy. In the past I would’ve been uncomfortable with the fact that Anna is 23 years my junior, but I don’t care about things like that anymore. Now I just want to feel alive and have fun. I have a 16-year-old daughter that I adore, Mia. Mia lives with her mother, but recently she’s talked about coming to stay with me more, maybe even live with me when she attends college. I’ve always wanted Mia to spend more time at my place, but now I feel hesitant because of Anna. Anna has only met Mia a few times, but whenever I bring up my daughter’s name, Anna always says something critical. She says that Mia is spoiled, hangs out with the wrong kids, wears inappropriately short skirts, and shouldn’t live at home while she goes to college. I don’t understand why Anna’s so negative toward my daughter. Mia has always been pleasant and polite to her. My daughter and I have a close relationship and I’m proud that she’s so well adjusted and happy. For many years I devoted all my time and energy to taking care of my family and being the breadwinner. Now all I have to show for it is a divorce and huge alimony debt. I realize that Anna shouldn’t have so much input on my relationship with my daughter. But I also feel that I finally deserve my own life after all this time. To that end, I’ve actually been trying to convince Mia to move away to school. Mia is confused about the shift in my perspective and said that it doesn’t sound like me. I love Mia more than anything, but I haven’t had romantic feelings like this in years.

A woman like Anna doesn’t come along often and I don’t want to lose this chance for a new life. A buddy of mine says I’m being selfi sh. Does it seem that way to you?

— Brian Dear Brian, I’m pleased you’re opening up the sexual, life-giving part of you that was dormant during your marriage. It’s an exciting new aspect of your life and it’s wonderful. The emotional confusion you’re currently wrestling with is sometimes referred to as a “psychological pendulum swing.” This occurs when someone is living out an aspect of his or her nature at the exclusion of other aspects and then makes an extreme shift in the other direction. For instance, a successful CEO may have trouble appreciating her status because what she really wants is to be married with children. A family man might be frustrated and obsessed with what he thinks is a lost opportunity to pursue his passion for art or music. A child who shuts down when he gets bullied might turn around and become a bully himself before he swings back to somewhere in the middle. I’m wondering whether your focus on being the dutiful husband and father caused you to disregard other aspects of yourself that are now forcefully emerging. As you try to integrate these changes with your whole self, be cautious not to swing so far over that you subsequently ignore that which you’ve so lovingly and carefully cultivated — the role of Mia’s father. As for the woman you’re now dating, it sounds like you don’t want the relationship to end and would probably regret not seeing it through, but please proceed slowly. Maybe you could discuss your concern at how negating she sounds when the subject of your daughter comes up. You might gain insight as to what Anna is really feeling. If Anna’s already making demands and showing jealousy or resentment toward your daughter after only six months, it could be a red flag. Establish boundaries immediately when she acts like a rival sibling. Express to her in no uncertain terms that your relationship won’t work unless she learns to have a more open heart regarding Mia. Unfortunately, her problem may be bigger than just your daughter. Even if Mia leaves for college, Anna may become jealous of anyone who competes for your attention, including family or friends. I know she seems special, and may well be. However, if it turns out she can’t accept your daughter there may be another exciting woman out there who will love both of you. ■ Patti Carmalt-Vener, a faculty member with the Southern California Society for Intensive Short Term Psychotherapy, has been a psychotherapist in private practice for 23 years and has an office in Pasadena.

PRESERVING PASADENA

PASADENA HERITAGE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUE MOSSMAN CELEBRATES MORE THAN 40 YEARS OF KEEPING THE CROWN CITY ROYAL

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

P

asadena was a city on the verge of major transitions when Sue Mossman relocated here with her husband in 1976. Like other California cities, there were many forces calling to demolish or reconfigure long-standing landmarks in favor of building generic high-rises.

Mossman, however, saw things differently. She had fallen in love with her home and the historic Madison Heights neighborhood that surrounded it, and soon played a key role in creating the preservation group Pasadena Heritage in order to help stem the tides of change.

More than 40 years later, Michigan native and Penn State graduate Mossman was honored on July 13 at a special Castle Green fundraiser for Pasadena Heritage. Having served as the head of the nonprofit for the past 25 years, she was delighted to see

Jon Wright and Pasadena Heritage Executive Director Sue Mossman

PRESERVING PASADENA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 the gathering of 350 people raise more than $100,000 for its local preservation efforts.

“I first got involved in my own neighborhood’s issues and from there learned a lot about the city and development, and joined Pasadena Heritage soon after it was founded,” recalls Mossman. “There were development plans for high-rise buildings at Los Robles and Colorado, and for tearing down Old Pasadena, so I joined up with others who were very concerned about the dire consequences for the historic city that I had come to love.”

Among the battles she is most proud of Pasadena Heritage winning, Mossman lists the preservation of the former Bullock’s Pasadena department store, which is now the Macy’s on south Lake Avenue. She also singles out the fight to keep the Rose Bowl from becoming an NFL stadium, the termination of the 710 Freeway extension, and the growing strength of single-family neighborhoods all over the city.

Perhaps her biggest success, however, came in creating the biennial Colorado Street Bridge Party. The giant landmark is closed to traffic for one night every other June in order to host concerts, food trucks and thousands of people enjoying the chance to walk freely on the structure amid a stunning sunset view of the Arroyo Seco. Yet aside from all the fun aspects of the evenings, they’re also essential fundraisers for the bridge’s preservation.

“Early in our history, around 1978, the bridge was in considerable disrepair, with weeds growing through the cracks and chunks of concrete periodically falling off,” says Mossman. “Structurally it was fine, but suffering from deferred maintenance. Our first two bridge parties were to call attention to the sad state of the bridge and persuade the city to restore it. That took years, but the party really caught on and has stayed a favorite, but the fundraiser on July 13 was in place of that amid one of its off years.”

One key local figure whom Mossman and Pasadena Heritage have had a major impact upon is Pasadena’s current mayor, Terry Tornek. He had been a nationally regarded expert in historic preservation living in Massachusetts when he was hired as the city of Pasadena’s planning director. The city was realizing the value of maintaining its historic flavor over unfettered new development and Tornek often teamed with Mossman and her associates on 18 PASADENA WEEKLY | 08.01.19

preservation issues.

“Sue and Pasadena Heritage have been really instrumental in changing the whole ethos of Pasadena,” says Tornek. “We take preservation efforts for granted now, but that wasn’t true when Pasadena Heritage was getting started. Sue was there from the very beginning.

“It was really Pasadena Heritage and their battle to save Old Pasadena and the subsequent positions they’ve taken in landmark properties and districts and changed the ethic and self-image and is a big part of the reason we’re the great city we are,” adds Tornek. “Sue has been tremendously insightful in terms of being strong and well prepared on issues but also willing to listen and compromise when necessary to make something happen. She’s really been a terrific steward of that preservation ethic, and it’s part of the thing that makes Pasadena unique.”

One other longtime admirer of Mossman is Claire Bogaard, the wife of former Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard and a longtime active member of Pasadena Heritage in her own right.

“Sue has learned just about every job there was to do at Pasadena Heritage,” says Bogaard.

“The most important thing is she’s taken the organization from its early, early days when everyone was learning as they went, to a very organized, thoughtful, planned organization and she’s done a fabulous job taking it into a more mature state.”

Ultimately, Mossman is happy to have been a large part of keeping Pasadena special, particularly the past 25 years during which she has served as executive director of Pasadena Heritage. She points out the fact that she wasn’t specially trained for her life’s work should be an example that anyone who loves their city can step up and help preserve it as well.

“I’d like to think every Pasadenan is a preservationist on one level or another, but we have some work to do to awaken that in people’s psyches, and there are always, always buildings to fight for,” says Mossman. “I did not have any background or training. Probably my biggest credentials were just a passion to get involved in the community and trying to make a difference.” n Call Pasadena Heritage at (626) 441-6333 or visit pasadenaheritage.org.

VINTAGE TROUBLE FRONTMAN TY TAYLOR BRINGS HIS STYLISH SOLO POP BALLADRY TO ONE COLORADO SATURDAY

ouveau: a freshly actualized interpretation of the standard. Midcentury: a time signatured for being as vibrant as the technicolored tone of Judy Garland’s ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ and as choked off as the black and white portrayed in Billie Holiday’s ‘Strange Fruit.’

Romance: a melodic and transcendent language of the heart.

Songbook.”

That last element speaks for itself, as Ty Taylor audibly savors the word at the close of his spoken-word introduction to his 2018 release “Nouveau Mid-Century Romance Songbook,” which he’s still promoting with intermittent show dates, including one this Saturday at One Colorado.

To casual fans, the album may seem a radical departure from Taylor’s hard-charging soul-rock quartet Vintage Trouble, whose James Brown moves and scorching live shows established him

as a sharp-suited performance dynamo, and his offscreen vocals for Lester Grimes (portrayed by actor Ato Essandoh) in the HBO series “Vinyl.” But it isn’t anything new for the gospel-schooled New Jersey native, who still tours with Vintage Trouble. It’s just an affectionate U-turn back to the midcentury jazz and pop he first embraced as a wide-eyed kid while taking vocal lessons and studying the singing styles of Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Tormé, and Dinah Washington.

Unlike fellow Broadway alums Billy Porter, who updated Great White Way classics with R&B arrangements and guests throughout his album “Billy Porter Presents the Soul of Richard Rodgers,” and Kristin Chenoweth, whose “The Art of Elegance” revived pop standards with uncharacteristic nuance, Taylor brings to the mix his own songs, composed in the style of Great

American Songbook standards.

“Desolate/Better Off Without Me,” a silky duet with Renée Elise Goldsberry, is a melodic highlight. “I’m desolate,” she moans, while he croons in velvet tones, “You would be better off without me/ I wanted to give you wings/ Be the wind underneath your flight/ But I fucked up everything.” “Backbeat of the Boogie” is a snappy change of pace for Taylor, drummer Robert Perkins and pianist Peter Smith. But it’s ballads like “Quarter to the Blues,” the yearning, scale-spanning “Skies No More Be Gray” and cheerfully swinging “Wished for a Kiss” that shape the heart of his “Nouveau” valentine to his midcentury inspirations. n Ty Taylor performs in the One Colorado courtyard, 41 Hugus Alley, Old Pasadena, 7-9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3; free admission.

DAVINA & THE VAGABONDS, Sugar Drops (Red House): ★★★★

Dynamic Minneapolis vocalist Davina Lozier goes uptown with trumpeter husband Zack Lozier and a lineup of studio aces, including a full string section, clarinetist/saxophonist Jim Hoke, Stevie Ray Vaughan organist Reese Wynans, and — for the first time — a guitarist, Patty Griffin sideman Doug Lancio. Lozier still plays piano, and her music still swings and sways through woozy New Orleans jazz and second-line revels (“Bone Collection,” the amusing “Devil Horns”), upbeat pop (a personalized take on Ben Harper’s “Another Lonely Day”) and intimate balladry (“Deep End”). But with polished settings supporting her Amy Winehouse-style tones and phrasing, she sounds more relaxed and nuanced than before. davinaandthevagabonds.com

NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN AND PARTY, Live at WOMAD 1985 (Real World): HHHH½

Remixes and repackaged releases of the Pakistani qawwali icon have been so plentiful since his 1997 death, and their quality so uneven, that the pop world ardently thronged around him. Finally rescued from the vault, this concert explains why with crisp, bright clarity. Khan’s singing’s impassioned, joyous, and viscerally robust as his ululating calls soar with ascendant melodies over tabla, harmonium and handclaps. The 25-minute “Haq Ali Ali” demonstrates how hypnotically stirring Sufi music can be; the 21-minute “Allah Ho Allah Ho,” where Khan dips into deeper, more reflective notes, is nearly as epic in its calls for peace and tolerance. realworldrecords.com

LEROY FROM THE NORTH, Health and Fitness (self-released): HHH

Michigan-raised guitarist Eli Wulfmeier teases a full-length album (promised this fall) with five tracks of crunchy, ’70s-feeling rock. Allman-esque tunes “Here in My Home” (a rousing showcase for keyboardist Rai Thistlewait) and “Locked Out” show Wulfmeier pivoting from muscular chords to sunnier, country-dusted melodic playing. Punchy closer “Hey Man (Hammerheads)” recalls his work with fellow LA rocker Dorothy, as he vents frustration with social media and loss of privacy (“Let’s be careful when we’re talkin’/ Everywhere there’s someone watchin’”). leroyfromthenorth.com

KEVIN BREIT, Stella Bella Strada (Stony Plain): HHH

An imaginative instrumental set from the in-demand Canadian guitarist, titled after the custom-built electric guitar he wrings notes from while surrounded by shifting arrangements of horns, strings and percussion, plus organist brother Gary Breit. Even without the Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren clips respectively introducing the title track and “Marcello Loren,” they sound like cinematic romps through a midcentury Hollywood funhouse; Esquivel would no doubt approve of those and the slinky, harmony-buffed “Vegas Address” and “Shoo the Bluebird,” the latter a dreamy showcase for Breit’s bluesy slide playing. kevinbreit.com

Musical Melange

SUMMER BRINGS PASADENA’S THREE CLASSICAL ENSEMBLES TO VIBRANT LIFE

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI Great music is in the air across Pasadena this weekend and next, as the Crown City’s powerhouse trio of orchestras present an eclectic array of melodies in special summer season shows.

First up, the Pasadena POPS will turn the spotlight on its nationally renowned lead conductor Michael Feinstein for “Michael Feinstein Sings Cole Porter” at the LA County Arboretum in Arcadia. The show will feature him delving into Porter’s naughty sense of wordplay with “Night and Day,” “Begin the Beguine,” “Can Can,” “I Get a Kick Out of You” and “Just One of Those Things,” as Larry Blank takes over as conductor and lets Feinstein shine on vocals.

Feinstein has maintained a lifelong love of Porter, and most recently paid tribute to him with the POPS in a special concert during the 2016 summer season. That evening found the orchestra performing songs based on orchestral charts created by famed conductor Nelson Riddle that had never been performed before in Los Angeles, in addition to several arrangements created for classic Warner Bros. studio films.

The ability to pay tribute to his musical heroes from the Great American Songbook through Frank Sinatra and Porter each summer has left Feinstein deeply appreciative of both POPS management and the orchestra’s devoted fans.

“It’s been wonderful because the support of the community and audience is so exciting,” says Feinstein.

“The orchestra is incredibly gifted, all brilliant musicians. Many have worked in Hollywood and play all different types of music. They appreciate playing music that’s difficult for them. It’s demanding and one of the reasons we’re successful is that audiences realize this is the only place they’ll be able to hear these versions of these songs. It’s a once in a lifetime experience.”

Meanwhile, MUSE/IQUE will present another in its endlessly inventive series of shows melding its orchestra with intriguing guest artists at the Huntington Library, Art Collections & Botanical Gardens in San Marino. Saturday’s “Train/Glory” show focuses on “music inspired by trains” — a theme partly inspired by the fact that trains were instrumental in turning Pasadena pioneer Henry E. Huntington’s vision for the Huntington into reality.

“Train/Glory” will feature guest soprano Liv Redpath, in addition to the dance troupe BODYTRAFFIC, rising star pianist HyeJin Kim and another acclaimed vocalist, Alyssa Park. The show will feature classic songs about trains as well as selections from the scores of beloved train-based films such as “Murder on the Orient Express” and “Strangers on a Train.”

Finally, CalPhil will present “‘Carmen’ Goes to the Movies” next Saturday, Aug. 11, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The show will feature excerpts from George Bizet’s greatest opera, “Carmen,” featuring soloists Audrey Babcock, Cedric Berry, Annalise Staudt and the Cal Phil Chorale under the direction of Maestro Marya Basaraba. In addition, classic film music by Ennio Morricone (“The Mission,” “Cinema Paradiso”), John Williams (“Star Wars”), Bill Conti (“Rocky”), Rodgers & Hammerstein (“The Sound of Music”) and Elton John (“The Lion King”) will be performed. ■ The Pasadena POPS presents “Michael Feinstein Sings Cole Porter” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the LA County Arboretum, 301 N. Baldwin Ave., Arcadia. Gates opens at 5:30 p.m. for picnicking.

PEOPLE AGREE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

the overwhelming majority of Pasadenans already support. The citywide coalition could: 1. Sponsor a citywide town hall on Pasadena’s housing crisis, bringing together tenants and homeowners who want the city to adopt laws to make sure that Pasadena is an inclusive and affordable city.

2. Put a human face on the housing crisis. At least one tenant should tell show up at every City Council meeting to tell his or her story about rents, conditions, and evictions, and one homeowner should be there to voice support for rent control and just cause eviction.

3. Organize a massive voter registration drive among renters. POP and PTU could work with the League of Women Voters, PUSD, PCC, and Caltech to register high school and college students. They could work, with clergy groups to register people after religious services, with labor unions to register their members who live in Pasadena, and with the civil rights groups to target black and Latino renters. They also need to go door-to-door registering and organizing tenants in apartment buildings.

4. Make tenants rights an issue in the upcoming mayoral and City Council elections.

Send a questionnaire asking all candidates to answer “yes or no?” about their support for rent control and just-cause eviction. Follow that up by sponsoring a candidates forum on the issue, and then educate the public about their stances on these critical issues. Voters need to know which side which side they are on — the real estate industry or local residents?

5. Level the political playing field. Demand that all candidates for mayor and City Council agree to reject campaign contributions from developers, landlords, real estate investors, and bankers, who all have a stake in rising rents and luxury housing.

6. Run a slate of candidates for local office on a tenant rights and affordable housing platform.

7. Engage in protest, rent strikes, and civil disobedience, when necessary, to draw attention to desperate human tragedies created by the city’s failure to address the housing crisis.

8. Every year, identify Pasadena’s best and worst landlords. Give an award to the best landlords, protest at the offices and homes of the worst landlords, and push the city to do a better job of getting irresponsible landlords to fix health-and-safety code violations.

Pasadena is a city of enormous wealth and outrageous income disparities, as described in the recent report, “Pasadena’s Tale of Two Cities” report. It is time for local philanthropists, including the Pasadena Community Foundation, to strengthen our democracy by investing in grassroots organizing to make city a more livable and just city, and to help give working families, including renters, a stronger voice in local affairs. And it is time for local officials to take action on the biggest problem facing Pasadena — its housing crisis —with bold policies to make Pasadena the progressive city it claims to be. ■ Peter Dreier is professor of politics and chair of the Urban & Environmental Department at Occidental College. He is the coauthor (with Mark Maier) of the “Pasadena’s Tale of Two Cities” report.

Dwayne Johnson, Idris Elba and Jason Statham in Hobbs and Shaw

here are some movies that are just too ridiculous for words. Movies that defy logic, the laws of physics, common sense, rationality and the fundamental rules of storytelling — and are gloriously entertaining in spite of it all.

“Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” is one of those movies. The first spinoff from the ridiculously long-running “Fast & Furious” series of action movies (eight films so far, with a ninth due next year!), it stars Dwayne Johnson as an American agent named Roy Hobbs and Jason Statham as the once-evil, now-good British operative Deckard Shaw.

The two men have developed a love-hate relationship with each other over the last two “Furious” films, after Shaw entered the “Furious” series as the villain in the end credits of the sixth. That eight-film series started out as the story of an uncover LAPD cop infiltrating a car-theft ring and crossing over into joining them.

But in the fifth film “Fast Five,” Johnson’s character of federal agent Hobbs entered the scene to track down the gang — which was dispersed into hiding internationally — and enlist them to steal a drug lord’s $100 million bank vault from the center of the Rio de Janeiro police department. That insane assignment brought the series to another level, taking the scrappy team of car thieves into James Bond/”Mission:Impossible” territory with a series of globetrotting adventures.

The new movie focuses on its titular heroes as they try to find a British intelligence agent named Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) who has apparently gone rogue with a deadly super-virus that could wipe out the planet’s population within days. In reality, she has heroically injected the virus into her body for its 42-hour latency period in order to keep a half-human, half-robot former soldier named Brixton (Idris Elba) from capturing it on behalf of a shadowy British organization of exmilitary figures seeking to turn powerful weapons and viruses against humanity.

Hobbs is working for the US, Shaw for the Brits, and neither is happy about having to share the danger and the glory involved. But when it turns out that Hattie is Shaw’s long-estranged sister, and Hobbs might have to enlist his own long-estranged brother on Samoa to help save the day, the film shrewdly weaves in solid emotional underpinnings for the adventure.

Beyond that, there’s a brewing attraction between Hobbs and Hattie that drives Shaw comically nuts as the trio of heroes hop all over the planet. Brixton wants to get the virus back out of Hattie’s body so it can be weaponized worldwide, while Hattie, Hobbs and Shaw need to steal the device that Brixton’s going to use to extract the virus from her. If they can’t get it in time, Hattie will die and the virus goes airborne.

The script by longtime “Furious” scribe Chris Morgan and the direction by veteran stuntman-turneddirector David Leitch (“Atomic Blonde,” “Deadpool 2”) make this movie zip along at a nonstop rapid pace.

Beyond the usual hand-to-hand combat and kung fuey action, there is an incredible motorcycle chase, an unbelievable running and jumping chase down the side of a skyscraper, and a finale that is literally impossible to describe in any coherent fashion.

Just know that if you are an action fan, you are getting your money’s worth about 10 times over. And, like the “Fast & Furious” movies, this is basically a Wile E. Coyote cartoon come to life.

While Elba is a formidable villain and the trio of Johnson, Statham and Kirby are very entertaining in their combo of comedy and heroics, the movie also benefits greatly from a couple of truly surprise extended cameos by superstars who are perfectly matched for their roles. It’s nice to see that a movie universe that could be running on autopilot nine movies in is instead looking to give audiences extra bang for their buck throughout. n

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-655600-CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written re-

quest to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee.

This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.
