- Great food but service EhOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/31/2014Didn't find the staff super helpful. We had to flag them over to our table more than once and it wasn't a busy time. The food was good and it was fun to try vegan food. Turns out it's very good!Special Features:
- Service needs improvementGFgirl99Dined on 8/29/2014Food was interesting and well presented although portion sizes were very inconsistent. Some dishes were tiny while others average in size. Patio was beautiful. Server made us feel very uncomfortable the entire meal as if waiting on us was a big, bothersome favor. One of the strangest dining experiences because of that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Where's The Meat?HappyDiner50Dined on 8/28/2014Don't be misled by some of the customer comments - or the lukewarm review written in the New York Times. Pure Food and Wine is a deeply satisfying dining experience. The dishes are creative and tasty and the presentation is exquisite. I am a meat lover - so coming here was a tough sell...but I am so glad that I did.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful nightgstarDined on 8/25/2014It was a perfect night, so the outdoor garden ambiance made it more special. The food was great and the staff was outstanding. I love this place.Special Features:
- Tasty!TheCsDined on 8/22/2014I have been dying to visit this restaurant since I first got the cookbook Living Raw Food last year. I finally made it to NYC and made this my first lunch stop. I had the S&M salad, which was delicious, however I feel like it didn't really showcase what this restaurant can do, and it was mainly a giant pile of greens. The accompanying rosemary crackers were delicious; however, I should have ordered an entrée. My companion had the falafel salad (same thing - tons of greens). The falafel was delicious, the tabouli was lovely. I will definitely come back, but I will order something a bit more special...and try a juice, too!Special Features:
- Very creativeMichVIPDined on 8/21/2014Loved this place. It was highly recommended by a friend and I agree that it is one of the best vegan restaurants in NYCSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CatarinaVIPDined on 8/20/2014Some of the most creative, delicious cuisine in the city…here's a place where it's (nearly) impossible to replicate the food. Nice to see art applied to vegan/raw cuisine. Spectacular.Special Features:
- pure food and wineDeliciousDined on 8/20/2014a great restaurant to catch up with a friend, beautiful garden in the back to sit out and relax and enjoy very good food. The service was attentive and the menu creative!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- rmclarkVIPDined on 8/19/2014A Very long wait for food for our party of two. Management brought us a complimentary glass of wine and an amuse bouche to apologize for the delay in the kitchen. Attentive and polite staff, very nice environment in the rear garden. Delicious entrees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pure GoodnessOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/16/2014Wonderful food for the table (Taco Salad, "Orreo" Cookie ice cream, Mallomar). The service was a little slow (especially since my dining guests and I were the only ones dining inside the restaurant at 12pm), but still friendly overall. Overall a great experience, as usual.Special Features:
- Great food, lovely ambience.MarionmDined on 8/15/2014I had the fixed price menu for $30 the salad was huge and so delicious, I had the lasagne as I had heard so much about it. I was disappointed I found it too intense with so much paste however I know it is all down to personal taste, the food served to other diners around me looked great. I had the tiramisu for desert which was really good. I loved the place and would definately go back, however I thought thought the staff could have been more attentive... Ie how is your meal. I ate less than a quarter of my lasagne but nobody asked me if everything was ok with it. I had a mojito which was good and some lavender tea which was also good . Over all a pleasant experience.Special Features:
- Most uniqueOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/14/2014Most unique rest in NYC, with only Dirt Candy as a fellow leader. They keep breaking new ground -- this past visit: cauliflower polenta that was great and happens to be raw, vegan. You've never been so sated and energized after a meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great outdoorsveggienorbVIPDined on 8/13/2014Food is delicious, and the staff are absolutely outstanding, BUT, while the garden seating is real nice, noise inside is loud. Don't miss Pure Food and Wine, but, weather permitting, make sure to book a garden table.Special Features:
- A gemMarieAMDined on 8/13/2014The outdoor garden patio area was enchanting ! Our server was attentive and very helpful. The food was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Raw food?atcmschroedDined on 8/12/2014I went into this experience with some hesitancy - I'm a fairly traditional foodie, loving my well grilled meat. This was a lovely and artistic expression of using raw food to amazing affect. Flavor combination were superb. Wines eclectic and interesting. Our waiter was superb, enthusiastic, great advice, respectful. Hip, dark ambiance in Gramercy Park. One of the best vegetarian options in all of New York City.Special Features:
- Salad and sundaeKathleenDined on 8/12/2014I went here for my birthday lunch. We ate outside in the outdoor garden which was so very special and beautiful. Honestly the food could have been terrible and I would have been happy. Was I blown away by the food? No but the ice cream was divine and you will not find a better salad anywhere. Next time, I would get a salad and a sundae!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best meal I've had in agesJerseyGurlinthecityDined on 8/11/2014The food was absolutely spectacular! Presentation was beautiful for every course. Ingredients were not only fresh but the combination of flavors in all of the dishes was really special. I highly recommend the "nut cheeses" as an appetizer and the tamales with fresh mole inside (just the right hint of chocolatey sweetness) and cashew sour cream! We had the orange blossom cake with strawberry semifredo but the ice cream sundae at the next table looked amazing too! Can't wait to go back again! (And I am not even a vegetarian!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LunchKateDined on 8/7/2014Relaxing atmosphere, great service, with a delicious vegan menu. The desserts are amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative and Wonderfulfoodie2301Dined on 8/5/2014Amazing Restaurant that stands out as a unique experience in a city full of wonderful places. You feel good eating hear in more ways than one. Highly recommendedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, weird smellBrooksVIPDined on 8/4/2014The food was unbelievably delicious. I am definitely going back. But, the service was super slow and the weird smell indoors took some time to get used to.Special Features:
- Lovely FoodCapezionkDined on 8/2/2014Great dinner experience. Wanted to visit a raw food restaurant and my (non-vegan, non-vegetarian) husband totally enjoyed himself and was impressed with the food. He was worried about leaving "hungry" and in fact he couldn't finish all of his food because of how full he felt. I ordered the tamales and he had the lasagna, we also ordered the chips and guac as well as the crepe to start. Each dish was unique and like eating art! Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food was amazing!DelishveggiesDined on 7/30/2014Portion sizes were perfect. The dishes were vegan and so very delicious. I wish I could make such wonderful food like this at home. I will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- new favorite spotsouthernfoodieDined on 7/27/2014INCREDIBLE, "feel-good" good. Friendliest staff of all NYC restaurants I have been to.... and all seemed genuinely happy. Wonderful food, romantic atmosphere, perfect spot to lounge or take a date.Special Features:
- Best Raw food!JSTOKERDined on 7/27/2014I am from a big foodie town Chicago and Pure Food and Wine was by far some of the best Raw food i have ever eaten! The staff was super friendly and amazing. I was already a fan of Pure Food before coming to the actual restaurant. I have all of Sarma Melngailis's cookbooks and love her life story. She has done amazing things with raw food and it would even change the minds of meat and potato eaters.. Thanks again for preparing such wonderful food with much passion and love. Raw food will change the world one day!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always SuperbbellanycDined on 7/22/2014As more raw food restaurants pop up around NYC, I'm thrilled to have increasing options for dining out. But none of these wonderful new places even comes close to Pure Food & Wine. It is the most expensive of the raw restaurants, but you get what you pay for. And Pure's beautifully presented, throroughly gourmet and incredibly filling food is worth every penny. I have taken countless burly male friends to Pure and blown when they learn that raw does not mean rabbit food. Even my mind is blown with the chefs do with food here! My most recent visit included the date bread appetizer and the tamales. Yum!! Reservations are sometimes hard to come by last minute. I recommend sitting outside in their charming courtyard any chance you get.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for Raw Vegan FoodDoctoRVIPDined on 7/19/2014Great place for Raw Vegan Food. Notable Organic Wine List.Special Features:

- Amazing DinnerMelissaKaveskiDined on 7/17/2014I've dined at this restaurant before, but never in the garden. What a delight! Great service, nice wine list, and the food was better than I remember. Despite the number of people, it was pretty quiet and romantic. Perfect date spot. Check out that patio!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing serviceraukarDined on 7/16/2014Service here was amazing, and the food was very nice as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Way TastyBiker1Dined on 7/15/2014While it took a while beyond our reserved time to get us seated (in all likelihood because it was a rainy night and they only had the indoor seats available), the staff was super hospitable in spirit, the restaurant comped our drinks for the wait, and my vegan pal who I brought to Pure Food pronounced it "the best restaurant in the world" after our meal and called over the waiters to tell them so. Great place in all ways.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great!!Cec83Dined on 7/14/2014Fantastic food! We tried the chefs tasting menu and it was one great dish after another. The waitor was very service minded and recommended a great wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a wonderful mealjonathansalomonsDined on 7/14/2014This is the place for raw food meals, prepared to perfection. The service is very attentive and knowledgeable. Also, a great selection of wine, some organic.Special Features:
- Great food - Poor ServiceluvmyfoodDined on 7/11/2014We were at first skeptical about raw vegan food - especially when we saw the prices on the menu but decided to try it. The food was really great - it was really fun to figure out how they created the various tastes without cooking or using animal ingredients. The deserts were fantastic! Great ambiance - we were able to get a table in the back patio area and it was a lovely warm evening - more like a dinner party in someone's backyard than at a restaurant. Service was really poor however - no check-in to see how the food was or whether we needed anything, we had to grab our waiter's attention to order additional items, waited a long time for our bill, etc. Quite disappointing considering how much money we spent there. No tip for him!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great eveningKodoDined on 7/11/2014Fantastic venue for vegans and others. Had dinner with a 'regular food' colleague who has never eaten vegan food before and she raved about it. Will definitely be back here soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!NYVeg123Dined on 7/11/2014Our dinner was delicious (especially dessert). We shared the Crepe with White Asparagus, Pear and Arugula as a first course, my husband had Hen of the Woods Tacos al Pastor and I had Sweet Corn and Cashew Tamales with Chili Spiced Portabella as an entree, and we had Chocolate and Jungle Peanut Butter Cheesecake and Blackberry Cobbler with Cornbread Streusel for dessert. The tacos and tamales were both amazing -- an array of flavors and didn't seem raw. The desserts were likewise delicious, though by way of warning incredibly decadent and rich (the cheesecake was the richest I've ever had anywhere). The costs are high, but the portions are huge - I think in our case doing all three courses was probably too much!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing cure for jet lag !MKEfoodieDined on 7/10/2014Made reservations two days before I landed in NYC and I was so glad that I did. Not only is raw food a great pick me up but the whole dining experience wiped away all the stress and drama from my many delayed flights!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!WhatsforDinnerDined on 7/8/2014The food was absolutely delicious, and so well presented. You must have the sangria, as well as the corn pudding appetizer. I was very pleasantly surprised with how satisfied I left this restaurant. Great healthy food that is worth the $$.Special Features:
- Amazing!VegafoodieDined on 7/2/2014Was honestly one of the best meals I have ever had! I've been vegan for 6 months now and haven't found a vegan restaurant I liked until coming there! Even my non-vegan boyfriend enjoyed it thoroughly and said it was one of the best meals he has had in a very long time. Not only was the food fantastic the cocktails were delicious! I would definitely recommended this place to anyone looking to relax and dine into some delicious food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

When u compare the landscape of boxing, from this point in time of stars/potential stars, compared to 2003 roster from each division, would you say (talent-wise) boxing has progressed or declined?

also the essence of being a man, I know it sounds a bit meh, but it's the fact that then, anybody fought anybody and why? because they wanted respect, you had fighters like Hagler taking on all comers just for that bit of respect, and sure politics got in the way but still it didn't stop him fighting anyone and everyone. You had the likes of Aaron Pryor forever chasing Leonard etc etc. Know though you only see this in some fighters, but the up and comers you see with this attitude are all way too far off and there doing if for the money not the actual glory.
Then again the ppv rate has been bigger than ever, but that's only when certain fighters fight

Precisely meter lime, bulk powder and solids into your process
March 16, 2009
Meter lime, activated carbon, calcium carbonate and other powders and bulk solids into your system without the need for a mechanical conveyor by using this precise conveying system available from the manufacturer. The solids are directly introduced into your liquid flow plumbing, as pre-blended slurry, resulting in reduced mixing time and increased efficiency. Maintenance requirements and power consumption are also reduced. With no mechanical conveyors, your plant layout considerations can be quickly accommodated by simple adjustments to your plumbing. Metered accuracy of your product is assured through the use of the manufacturer's in-house feeder and bulk bag unloader, further increasing efficiency with longer, uninterrupted production runs. Other equipment used in water treatment systems includes the manufacturer's tubular drag conveyor systems. Tubular drag conveyors are flexible in their layout possibilities, extremely durable and useful in water treatment de-gritting system applications. It is a conveyor operating inside a pipeline. The totally enclosed system is designed to handle a wide range of flow-able materials 24/7, and provides a high degree of protection, isolation and cleanliness. Being a "liquid-tight system" it prevents seepage and confines odors, making it ideal for these wastewater treatment applications. Elastomeric washers tightly seal the chain links pin and bearing surfaces, preventing any wear and abrasion by the conveyed materials. The unit also comes with the manufacturer's exclusive Performantee!

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the decrease in unauthorized immigration, the latest ruling on Arizona's employer-sanctions law, Iraqi refugees, Alabama and Arkansas on the in-state tuition debate, and more.
In 2006, Department of Homeland Security immigration officials made over 1.2 million apprehensions of immigrants at points of entry along the U.S. border and within the United States. MPI's Aaron Terrazas examines the most recent data on immigration enforcement.
MPI's Claire Bergeron and Muzaffar Chishti report on the Democratic and Republican platforms, the worksite raid in Mississippi, the new citizenship test, and more.
The 1.6 million Filipino immigrants residing in the United States in 2006 accounted for 4.4 percent of all U.S. immigrants. MPI's Aaron Terrazas examines their socioeconomic characteristics, where they live, and the size of the Filipino-born unauthorized population.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the Scheduled Departure program, special visas for Iraqi nationals, hospital "deportations," and more.
This report provides an estimate of the taxes paid by immigrants in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, which encompasses the federal district and portions of Maryland and Virginia. It compares the tax payments of immigrant households with the contributions of native households between 1999 and 2000.
Debates on immigration policy often discuss calibrating immigration levels to meet the labor needs of the nation's economy. Indeed, it is clear that immigration strongly affects U.S. labor markets – over the past thirty years, foreign-born workers have grown to record numbers.
New immigration legislation must include changes to achieve effective and resolute enforcement of the immigration laws. Because border and workplace enforcement have been addressed elsewhere, this policy brief offers suggestions for other key enforcement improvements that Congress should implement.
This report investigates the demographic characteristics and experiences of American retirees abroad through a focused study of two countries—Mexico and Panama—that have exhibited dramatic growth in the population of United States-born seniors in recent years. Findings on the decision-making process of emigrant retirees, their integration experiences, and their impact on local communities are drawn from an analysis of 17 interviews and nine focus group discussions.
En años recientes, un flujo de estadounidenses que aumenta continuamente se ha estado dirigiendo a América Latina, especialmente para su jubilación. A medida de que la generación del "baby boom" envejece, se espera que ese flujo gane velocidad.
This report examines how counterterrorism strategy relates to border security and immigration reform, and how terrorist mobility should be countered. The author argues that terrorist mobility comprises a set of problems distinct from the challenges of managing large-scale global migration.
This report explores the complex issues surrounding temporary worker programs by looking at the ways in which the United States has responded to domestic labor shortages from the 1940s through the present. It examines the intent and structure of both historical and existing temporary worker programs, and raises salient policy questions that result from the analysis.
This policy brief compares existing proposals for comprehensive immigration reform by President Bush and the 109th Congress with regard to changes to lawful permanent resident (LPR) admissions, the terms and conditions of nonimmigrant visas, and policy responses to the existing unauthorized immigrant population.

Mixed martial arts referee 'Big' John McCarthy failed to obtain his license to resume officiating in the state of Nevada after his Sept. 10 application was chewed up and spit out by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), according to Sherdog.com.
McCarthy — perhaps the most recognized and respected referee in the history of the sport — retired from his in-ring duties following his 535th bout (the main event between Roger Huerta and Clay Guida) at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 6 Finale in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Dec. 8, 2007.
"Big" John hung up the medical gloves to pursue a new career as an on-air personality and strategic adviser for The Fight Network, as well as a color commentator for the Affliction: "Banned" event in July 2008.
During his absence, the famed referee made comments in support of then-exiled star Randy Couture, as well as some criticism regarding the direction of UFC pay-per-views and its current officiating.
While the critique was small potatoes, it didn't sit well with UFC President Dana White or Keith Kizer, Executive Director of the NSAC. Both sides remained diplomatic, but McCarthy never reapplied for his license to officiate in Nevada, even after his return to the sport at Strikeforce: "Destruction" in November 2008.
Until now.
Naturally, Kizer insists that McCarthy was not approved due to limited space and a large pool of applicants -- not personal ill will, and that his application is not denied -- just in limbo with the dozens of other applicants who will never see the inside of a Nevada cage.
Like the many fighters he's overseen throughout his career, McCarthy was gracious in defeat:
"A license to referee or judge with an athletic commission -- it's not a right, it's a privilege. Everyone kept bringing up the fact that I wasn't licensed in Nevada, so I said, 'Alright, I'll apply.' I have no problems with anybody in Nevada. When you do your job right as a referee, there's not gonna be a lot of people saying things. The sport is growing; the officiating is having to grow with it. The whole reason I'm [back] reffing is because it's what I love to do, and I'm going to enjoy doing what I'm doing."
Internet activists have started a Twitter campaign to persuade the powers that be to enlist the services of McCarthy for UFC 104: Shogun vs. Machida, which is held in his home state of California (and where he is currently licensed).
Will we ever see "Big" John back in the UFC? Well, compared to how easily we got Tito Ortiz back inside the Octagon, McCarthy's homecoming could almost be considered a foregone conclusion.

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has signed legislation to expand a scholarship program that will allow more medical students to practice in high need rural areas.
In a statement Wednesday, Deal said the legislation calls for some Georgia Medical Student Scholarship recipients entering certain primary care and specialized medical practices to work in underserved areas with a high level of need. Deal says the law will change how state agencies classify underserved areas that students will work in.
Deal says the scholarship program provides up to $20,000 to qualified state residents to help pay the costs of medical school.
The Georgia Board of Physician Workforce will define the regions scholarship recipients may work in, and the areas will be approved by Department of Community Health and Department of Public Health commissioners.

It holds the nickname "most important meal of the day" and Lisa Kadermis, a Sanford Health Dietitian, would agree.
"Breakfast tends to be a really busy time of the day but if you skip it, then you might find mid-morning that you're really dragging, so we want to take advantage of the opportunity," said Kadermis.
Experts also say it's not only important to just eat breakfast but make sure you're eating a healthy one. Containing lots of whole grains like oatmeal, getting a good source of protein, along with some fruits and vegetables.
Incorporating a nutritious lunch and after school snack in your daily school diet is also recommended, especially for younger children.
"Going more than three, four hours without eating is kind of more than their bodies can handle, so we want to help them bridge that gap with some good planned nutrition in-between," said Kadermis.
Some recipes shown on Monday's Valley Today include:
Chicken Salad
1 can cooked chicken or ¾ cup homemade chicken
1 stock celery
2 tbs. ranch dressing
Chop celery and drain chicken. Mix ingredients together.
Pumpkin Dip
1 can pumpkin puree
6 oz Greek yogurt – vanilla or honey
2-3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tbs. brown sugar
Combine all ingredients until well blended.
Oatmeal in a Jar
¾ cup rolled oats
¾ cup milk
¾ cup yogurt of choice
½ cup chopped fruit of your choice
Mix ingredients and store in fridge over night. Top with oats/nuts.
Baked Oatmeal – Berry Banana
2 bananas
2 cups frozen berries
3 cups rolled oats
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
3 tbs. melted butter
2 eggs
2 cups milk
2 tsp. vanilla
Slice banana and line the bottom of the pan with the banana and berries. Mix together dry ingredients, spread in pan over the fruit, mix up the remaining ingredients and pour over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes.

Tenant groups propose sweeping package to ease the "eviction epidemic"
Tenant advocates today proposed a sweeping set of legislative proposals to address what they're calling the "eviction epidemic" that has hit San Francisco, seeking to slow the rapid displacement of tenants by real estate speculators with changes to land use, building, rent control, and other city codes.
"In essence, it's a comprehensive agenda to restrict the speculation on rental units," Chinatown Community Development Center Policy Director Gen Fujioka told the Guardian. "We can't directly regulate the Ellis Act [the state law allowing property owners to evict tenants and take their apartments off the rental market], but we're asking the city to do everything but that."
The package was announced this morning on the steps of City Hall by representatives of CCDC, San Francisco Tenants Union, Housing Rights Committee of SF, Causa Justa-Just Cause, Tenderloin Housing Clinic, UNITE HERE Local 2, Community Tenants Association, and Asian Americans Advancing Justice.
"San Francisco is falling into one of the deepest and most severe eviction crises in 40 years," SFTU Director Ted Gullicksen said. "It is bad now and is going to get worse unless the city acts."
The package includes: require those converting rental units into tenancies-in-common to get a conditional use permit and bring the building into compliance with current codes (to discourage speculation and flipping buildings); regulate TIC agreements to discourage Ellis Act abuse; increase required payments to evicted tenants and improve city assistance to those displaced by eviction; require more reporting on the status of units cleared with the Ellis Act by their owners; investigate and prosecute Ellis Act fraud (units are often secretly re-rented at market rates after supposedly being removed from the market); increase inspections of construction on buildings with tenants (to prevent landlords from pressuring them to move); prohibit the demolition, mergers, or conversions of rental units that have been cleared of tenants using no-fault evictions in the last 10 years (Sup. John Avalos has already introduced this legislation).
"The evidence is clear. We are facing not only an eviction crisis but also a crisis associated with the loss of affordable rental housing across the city. Speculative investments in housing has resulted in the loss of thousands affordable apartments through conversions and demolitions. And the trend points to the situation becoming much worse," the coalition wrote in a public statement proposing the reforms.
Evictions have reached their high level since the height of the last dot-com boom in 1999-2000, with 1,934 evictions filed in San Francisco in fiscal year 2012-13, and the rate has picked up since then. The Sheriff's Department sometimes does three evictions per day, last year carrying out 998 court-ordered evictions, Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi told us, arguing for an expansion of city services to the displaced.
At "Housing for Whom?" a community forum the Guardian hosted last night in the LGBT Center, panelists and audience member talked about the urgent need to protect and expand affordable housing in the city. They say the current eviction epidemic is being compounded by buyouts, demolitions, and the failure of developers to build below-market-rate units.
"We're bleeding affordable housing units now," Fred Sherburn-Zimmer of Housing Right Committee said last night, noting the steadily declining percentage of housing in the city that is affordable to current city residents since rent control was approved by voters in 1979. "We took out more housing than we've built since then."
Peter Cohen of the Council of Community Housing Organizations actually quantified the problem, citing studies showing that only 15 percent of San Franciscans can afford the rents and home prices of new housing units coming online. He said the housing isn't being built for current city residents: "It's a demand derived from a market calculation."
Cohen said the city's inclusionary housing laws that he helped write more than a decade ago were intended to encourage developers to actually build below-market-rate units in their projects, but almost all of them choose to pay the in-lieu fee instead, letting the city find ways to build the housing and thereby delaying construction by years.
"It was not about writing checks," Cohen said. "It was about building affordable units."
Last night's discussion began with a debate about the waterfront luxury condo project proposed for 8 Washington Street, which either Props. B or C would allow the developer to build. Project opponent Jon Golinger squared off against proponent Tim Colen, who argued that the $11 million that the developer is contributing to the city's afforable housing fund is an acceptable tradeoff.
But Sherburn-Zimmer said the developer should be held to a far higher standard given the obscence profits that he'll be making from waterfront property that includes a city-owned seawall lot. "Public land needs to be used for the public good."
Longtime progressive activist Ernestine Weiss sat in the front row during the forum, blasting Colen and his Prop. B as a deceptive land grab and arguing that San Francisco's much ballyhooed rent control law was a loophole-ridden compromise that should be strengthened to prevent rents from jumping to market rate when a master tenant moves out, and to limit rent increases that exceed wage increases (rent can now rise 1.9 percent annually on rent controlled apartment.
"That's baloney that it's rent control!" she told the crowd.
themselves, and so know nothing about it.
It shows.
"What do you think is supposed to happen here? He takes a 7K loss every month?"
Actually, yes. Why would you buy an income property that doesn't bring in enough income to cover what you paid, never mind make a profit.
Your problem is that you're seeing homes where actual people live as investments first and homes last.
Is it not possible for the City to enact some kind of law that restricts purchasing property solely for the purchase of "flipping it" to make an enormous profit? Flipping real estate seems to me to be one of the most immoral practices going these days -- following on the heals of the bankers who bundled bad mortgages and sold them as good. It's a contemptable practice that does absolutely nothing to create a healthy, prosperous, inclusive and dynamic community. At the rate the flippers are going, only one percenters will be able to live in SF and the Bay Area.
Bay Area land is expensive since there are tens of thousands of jobs in the area that pay far in excess of six figures. SF land is even more expensive because of its beauty, cachet and the massive transportation investments that make it relatively easy to get around without a car.
Money wins in this world. If you've got money you can live in the Bay Area. If not, you're living in Stockton, Tracy or Fairfield.
I'm surprised you didn't learn this from your parents or in high school.
...economic money supply is now underpinned at its foundation by such real estate flipping. Actual finance capital in general, dwarfs mere real estate finance by itself, but the real estate factor is like a cornerstone to the economy. (This is why we just had a global economic crash triggered by an overvalued real estate and mortgage financing bubble.)
So yes, it should be illegal to flip buildings for profit.
And winning the campaign to make it so, is going to be a tough fight. (But we -can- win.)
However, one thing we can also do right now, is ramp up taking over buildings as nonprofits and co-ops one at a time. This has been going on for decades and we should increase it in volume and speed.
The tax rate on short-term capital gains is higher than on long-term capital gains. While there is no cGt on owner-occupied homes up to 500K.
and more painful, to end flipping
constitutional right to be able to buy and sell real estate. Nothing in the way titles are transferred is really within the city's (or rather, the county's) control.
does not make it true
100% correct, else you would not protesteth so much.
Transfer taxes are under local control to some extent.
a transfer tax, what it absolutely cannot do is set differential tax rates based on political criteria.
Keep dreaming. Nothing that you think we need will ever be done.
that. But they have to keep believing or else accept that their entire belief system is 100% wrong and unrealistic. And that would hurt too badly.
Flipping is not immoral… you just say thet cuz you are a loser who can't compete at the game…Hell they even flip houses on TV.
So because it's done on TV that makes it all right.
Turning someone, especially someone marginalized, from their home is immoral.
Rent control destroys cities, I like what San Francisco is becoming very much
Go to Detroit, you can pay the lowest possible rent there.. it is your paradise.
How old is your building if the mortgage was paid off 100 years ago...?
Sounds a bit hyperbolic
building will change hands every few years. each new owner has a higher mortgage and a rebased property tax.
Either that has to be reflected in higher rents or the owner will have to exit a loss-making business.
Eric doesn't understand this issue at all.
Housing should not be allowed to change hands like that. It should be illegal.
That's hilarious.
And you want me to trust your costings for clean energy?
It is a really old building.
Maybe if it is the same owner, but then he's be damn old.
chances are it has been sold over many times, and each time it sells, there is a new higher mortgage.
Do you understand that? It's very basic.
And I repeat, for what must be the third time now in this conversation, that buildings changing owners repeatedly like that is totally destructive to the city and its tenants, and should not be permitted. It should be illegal to flip housing for profit.
Surely you get that?
Revoking all property rights is totally out of the question, and no politician is seriously suggesting that.
My building has changed owners at least five times in the last two decades. That should be illegal.
So your idea is that businesses cannot be sold?
And you are perfectly aware of that fact.
That is how the city defines it, and how the IRS view it.
Benjamin Franklin to Robert Morris
25 Dec. 1783, Writings 9:138
"The Remissness of our People in Paying Taxes is highly blameable; the Unwillingness to pay them is still more so. I see, in some Resolutions of Town Meetings, a Remonstrance against giving Congress a Power to take, as they call it, the People's Money out of their Pockets, tho' only to pay the Interest and Principal of Debts duly contracted. They seem to mistake the Point. Money, justly due from the People, is their Creditors' Money, and no longer the Money of the People, who, if they withold it, should be compell'd to pay by some Law.
All Property, indeed, except the Savage's temporary Cabin, his Bow, his Matchcoat, and other little Acquisitions, absolutely necessary for his Subsistence, seems to me to be the Creature of public Convention. Hence the Public has the Right of Regulating Descents, and all other Conveyances of Property, and even of limiting the Quantity and the Uses of it. All the Property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other Laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it."

The Writings of Benjamin Franklin. Edited by Albert Henry Smyth. 10 vols. New York: Macmillan Co., 1905--7.
"There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for studios in that building to cost $1800 a month."
The funny thing is that Eric thinks he should be able to rent very cheaply, but he also thinks that he has a perpetual right to live in San Francisco.
If studios in San Francisco cost $500 a month, millions of people would want to live in San Francisco, and could afford it.
Eric's belief is apparently that since he lives in San Francisco now, he gets to live in San Francisco forever, even with cheap rents.
You live in El Cerrito, and want to live in San Francisco and can afford $500 a month? Tough - you get to live in El Cerrito forever. Luck of the draw, man.
Under Eric's proposed system, it would be much fairer to have a five year limit on living in San Francisco, so as many people as possible could have the experience of living in San Francisco. Let Eric live in El Cerrito for a while.
It's a matter of equity.
Which should be the objective
Let's pass the Housing Security Act!
I'm in!
If housing were socialized everywhere, and cheap everywhere, most people would want to live in San Francisco, and not El Cerrito.
Why should you get priority over someone who lives in El Cerrito for cheap housing in San Francisco, if you both can afford it?
Eric thinks that rabid bear landlords should have no property rights - but, of, course, he thinks he has an inviolable right to live in San Francisco for as long as he wants.
Losers in El Cerrito have to stay in El Cerrito - why should they have any right to live in San Francisco?
After all, Eric is already there, and you have no right to displace him.
If all housing in the country were socialized at once, we would return to the status quo that exists right now, of people's desire and ability to move to San Francisco. That would essentially remain unchanged.
"If all housing in the country were socialized at once, we would return to the status quo that exists right now, of people's desire and ability to move to San Francisco. That would essentially remain unchanged."
So, you are going to reduce everyone's salaries by the same amount of the rents? Otherwise, housing in San Francisco is going to get a lot more affordable - not just for you, but for everyone else as well.
At $500/apartment millions of people would want to and could afford to live in San Francisco. You think that dropping rents to $200 in El Cerrito would stop people from trying to live in San Francisco at $500?
So, you would have far more people trying to live in San Francisco than there was available housing. Having a lottery to determine who could live in SF would be a lot fairer than simply giving perpetual housing rights to those lucky enough to live there already.
...dramatically reduce rents in San Francisco.
Oh, socializing housing in San Francisco might reduce the rents.
You might not like the other consequences, though...
It would be far fairer if we had a Commisar of Housing who assigned housing to each person based on their political purity and adherence to party doctrine. This has worked so well in Beijing and everywhere else it has been tried.
If housing prices were not set by the market in San Francisco, desirable units would be allocated by bribes and connections. How can you leftists be so naive?
shot at a nice home than the current process, which is too efficient, liquid and transparent for such manipulation to be possible.
They want theirs but lack the means, ability and skills to have it, so they want to mess with the system.
Death Panels.
cheap and plentiful?
Greetings Comrade!
The People's Housing Authority welcomes you to our home. Due to problems of homelessness and a lack of housing for the working class, you have been assigned Ted as your new roommate. You have thirty days to clear space for your new roommate to move in. Maintenance requests will be done by the Authority - you'll now receive the same prompt, reliable service as those previously in public housing (all housing is now public!). Of course, with no new property tax revenue, no new units will be constructed (hey, we're not going to tax ourselves), so prepare to have bunk beds installed in your unit to house more fellow citizens.
Over the course of the next year, we will be reviewing your situation to determine if you are eligible to remain in the dwelling you now occupy. You may be reassigned to a new unit in a new neighborhood by order of the Authority. If it is determined that neither your nor your spouse/significant other are ineligible to remain in the city (neither of you works in the city for example), your permit to dwell in San Francisco will be revoked and you will be required to leave.
You may contest these actions, but the new tenants will of course have the right to file an appeal. This of course may take several months. The people will decide what is best.
Good thing we stuck it to those capitalist pig-dogs, right!
Have an excellent day.
It's a truly terrifying prospect.
There's a reason some people have nothing better to do than post on websites all day. No one hires them since they have no intelligence or common sense, only emotional reaction to external stimuli.
I don't know many progressives who listen to Eric about many subjects, so landlords shouldn't be too elated when they read his often clueless comments and think he somehow represents anything important. There are dozens of people who are much more thoughtful and knowledgeable about subjects such as state and local housing laws that landlords should be concerned about, who unfortunately don't post much on websites like this dominated by posting manics like Eric, lilli and racer.
Like the landlords who post here, Eric and his buddy marcos are purely entertainment value. The fact that Eric thinks the landlord posts are actually serious and thoughtful rather than merely teasing him just makes his reactions that more laughable.
...put forward more radical ideas that others might not be thinking of and/or might gain from. (The bogus reactionary posts provide easy launch points from which to unfold concepts.)
And, ask anyone who was involved in the CEQA fight over the past year if the progressive community listens to me.
They'll say yes...
And that's just one of the campaigns I work on. There are many others.
As to why I've been posting a lot over the last week or so. I'm on a semi-vacation and have time to do so.
Any other attacks you'd like to fling?
Eric, pick a subject and stick with it. All important issues facing humanity are very complicated. We don't live long enough to have much impact on any one issue, much less a handful. You had a decent reputation in the green power field (until Paul Kangas come on here and had some thoughtful comments and articulated them better), so maybe stick with that. But throwing yourself into multiple, complicated issues just makes you look like a buffoon, which means you'll never accomplish anything since no one will take you seriously even on subjects that you might have some expertise. Reputation is impossible to rehabilitate once its gone.
Some of the people in this coalition like Gen and Ted have been working in the tenant housing law area for decades. They've written books and helped author countless pieces of legislation working closely with supervisors and city attorneys. You could take a 2-year college level class taught by them and still only know a portion of what they know about state and local housing regulations. Let them lead on issues like this, along with other people who have been working on these issues for years. If you want to volunteer to help pass out literature or man an information table or whatever, fine, but to post 30 times on a subject you're not that well-versed in just makes all progressives look bad and makes you look like a joke.
You seem to have forgotten the saying, "Better to not say anything than to open your mouth (an obsessive number of times!) and let the world know that you really don't know what you're talking about."
...as they launch attacks at another progressive.
Care to step forward and reveal yourself?
As to understanding housing issues. I have done deep study of economics and other key concepts my whole life largely from an anarchist and Marxist perspective. The organizers in San Francisco working on housing are for the most part not from that more radical perspective and pursue change on housing policy via a much more Liberal methodology.
It is no secret to anyone that the campaign for affordable housing in San Francisco is treading water at best. Perhaps what those organizers need is an outside perspective that is not so entwined in local minutia; so that they can get ideas for thinking outside the box.
Nobody in the movement has cornered the market on experience and wisdom, and we should all listen to eachother and learn together.
Not attack eachother.

Natalie's Review
Southbrook Vineyards Triomphe Syrah 2008, V.Q.A., Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada: Vintages Wine Panel: This wine won a Silver Medal at the 2010 Ontario Wine Awards, and swirling, sniffing and sipping shows why. The wine finds a happy balance between the Rhône and Aussie Shiraz styles. Aromas suggest pepper, black raspberry, plum, red licorice and vanilla. Dry, with pretty, lush fruit that is almost instantly refreshed by racy acidity. The tannins act as a complement to the fruit and acid. Enjoy this medium-bodied wine. My note: Chocolate and dark plum aromas on the nose. This supple, full-bodied and tasty wine is a very pleasant quaffer. Drink: 2010-2015. 129809 12% XD 750 mL $24.95 Score: 88/100.

Over $500 worth of frozen meat was stolen from a vehicle parked outside a home on Penny Lane in North Fort Myers, according to Lee County Sheriff's Office reports.
The victim told deputies she had parked her work vehicle in front of her home and conducted an inventory at the end of the day Monday night.
When she went out to the vehicle Tuesday morning, she discovered 4 cases of beef, one case of pork and two cases of chicken were missing from the freezer of the vehicle.
A witness told the victim he saw John Pirigyi take food out of the truck's freezer and place it in a Nissan SUV. He didn't think anything of it at the time because Pirigyi was an employee of the same company.
The victim advised Pirigyi had been fired and should not have taken anything from the truck.
Pirigyi was arrested and charged with burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and grand theft greater than $300 less than $5,000.

Let your nose do the work, not your eyes. That's the general idea when it comes to deciding whether food is safe to eat.
But what about those 'expiration' dates that are so prominently printed on our food?
"It not an expiration date, it's a use-by date," said Jill Roberts, a food science researcher at the University of South Florida. "They're quality labels."
The language is varied…
…but the implication is the same. Roberts, proudly a self-proclaimed 'food cop,' says we can largely ignore the dates.
"Those things are not regulated, and they are basically meaningless," Roberts said.
Roberts said there are close to 125,000 hospitalizations each year due to food borne illnesses. However, she said the dates stamped on our food have little or nothing to do with preventing those outbreaks.
"Most of this labeling has been driven by taste," she said. "It has nothing to do with safety."
The Food and Drug Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture require an "expiration" date on exactly one product: infant formula.
As for everything else, here's how the FDA puts it: "This information is entirely at the discretion of the manufacturer."
No universal standard
The USDA says 20 states have individual rules regarding select products, such as milk. But there is no federal standard. And there's no guarantee the date is based on science.
"There is no uniform or universally accepted system used for food dating in the United States," the USDA said.
Roberts estimates 40% of the country's food goes to waste—much of it unnecessarily when consumers strictly adhere to the date on a package. Other researchers agree with her conclusion.
A Natural Resources Defense Council study, conducted in conjunction with Harvard University, put a price tag on the question. The research, titled "The Dating Game," estimated a food-date-conscious family wastes as much a $2,200 worth of food each year.
But they don't have to.
Roberts says use your nose. And your tongue.
"When you look at a box of cereal and it's past it's use by date, who cares," she said. "If you haven't opened that product it's good for another couple of years."
In fact, the FDA allows grocery stores to sell food past the date on the box.
LINK: FDA on expiration dates
"Is it safe to eat? Sure. But it's not going to taste good," she said.
And that's the consequence of not having a uniform standard based on science: Food safety is left up to us.
Roberts says the dating system must improve. She recommends a model similar to the "Nutrition Facts" placed on food.
"It's in the same place, in the same format on every box," she said.
Until regulators adopt a universal system, Roberts says consumers will be left to guess whether the numbers actually correlate to protecting their health.
"We don't know what that date means," she warned.

The National Association of Realtors renews its support of Habitat for Humanity
AMERICUS, Ga. (Aug. 10, 2006) – The National Association of Realtors will renew its support of Habitat for Humanity's mission this year. NAR, state and territorial associations of Realtors will sponsor 54 Habitat homes in the Gulf Coast area as part of the REALTOR–Habitat partnership for Gulf Coast Recovery. Seven of those homes will be sponsored and built in the New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village during this year's REALTORS Conference & Expo in New Orleans Nov. 10-13.
In the past six years NAR has sponsored Habitat builds in each of the cities hosting its annual conference. More than 100 NAR volunteers each day will build in partnership with families in need in the Musicians' Village.
Also during that week New Orleans' native son Harry Connick Jr. will be the featured performer of the National Association of Realtors Celebrity Concert. As this concert represents Connick's first time in the Convention Center since his visit immediately following Katrina, Connick agreed to perform if, and only if, NAR sponsored several homes in the Musicians' Village.
The Musicians' Village was conceived by Connick and fellow New Orleans musician Branford Marsalis in partnership with New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity as a way to help displaced musicians and others come home. Connick is the honorary chair of Habitat for Humanity's "Operation Home Delivery," the long-term rebuilding plan for hurricane-affected families along the Gulf Coast, while Marsalis is the honorary chair of the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity efforts.
"The National Association of Realtors has been a faithful Habitat partner for years–and we're grateful for their involvement. This latest partnership is an extension of that commitment, and demonstrates the concern NAR members have for the many families so desperately hoping for a better life in a better house," said Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity International. "Through its support, the NAR is playing a critical role in Habitat's efforts to create decent, affordable housing solutions for families throughout the Gulf Coast region."
Last year, NAR also provided $1.7 million to Habitat for housing relief to those left homeless in South Asia due to the December 2004 tsunami. The donation helped build "REALTOR Villages" in four South Asian countries.
About The National Association of Realtors
The National Association of Realtors, "The Voice for Real Estate," is America's largest trade association, representing more than 1.3 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in Americus, Ga., in 1976, Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses in nearly 100 countries, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people.

Jason Smith
The closest Tigers basketball beat writer Jason Smith came to athletic greatness was nailing a baseline shot before the halftime buzzer of a White Station High junior varsity game. Alas, he never scored another bucket, yet managed to dust himself off and pursue a career in sports journalism at the University of Memphis. After seven years covering preps for The CA, Smith was promoted to the Tigers basketball beat in 2010. Now, when he's not in the backyard trying to relive his one shining moment on the court, he spends most days at the Finch Center, trying to keep Tigers basketball fans close to the players and the program.
Phil Stukenborg
Phil Stukenborg has covered University of Memphis football since Tiger coach Justin Fuente was a junior in high school, The Pyramid was THE downtown arena and Conference USA was a fledgling league with Memphis as a founding member. He's also spent as much time -- actually more -- covering the city's pro tennis and golf tournaments and remembers an Andre Agassi appearance at The Racquet Club once generating as much buzz as a Kobe Bryant appearance at the FedExForum does now. Oh, and although he doesn't cover the NBA's Grizzlies, he feels fairly confident he can explain, if asked, what being amnestied means.
Mark Weber
Mark Weber found his passion for sports photography covering the University of Alabama and Auburn University sports for the Birmingham Post-Herald after graduating from Western Kentucky University. In 2004, he came to The Commercial Appeal and became the University of Memphis Tigers beat photographer. Mark has enjoyed covering the Tigers from football bowl games to the Final Four. In addition, he shoots a wide variety of assignments for the newspaper, including long-term projects on the Memphis community. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling with his wife and spending time with their German Shepherds.

Are you ready to play ball with Back in the Game?
Now that ABC's new sitcom, starring Maggie Lawson and James Caan, has premiered, we want to know if you think it's a hit or a miss — and what you think of every new show this fall season.
ABC's innocuous new sitcom about likable underdogs, Back in the Game, could just as easily be called "Luck of the Draw." This Bad News Bears-lite gets a major assist right out of the gate with an enviable time period (Wednesday, 8:30/7:30c) sandwiched between TV's best family comedies, The Middle and Modern Family. Which could always backfire, of course, if the show doesn't live up to ratings expectations, and while this Little League comedy doesn't quite measure up to the big leagues, we shouldn't be surprised if family audiences rally around the team, turning a solid base hit into something potentially worthy of extra innings.

On ABC's new comedy Back in the Game, Maggie Lawson stars as Terry Gannon Jr., a single mom who finds herself down on her luck and moves back in with her estranged father, Terry Sr. (James Caan), an ex-athlete nicknamed "The Cannon."
On the baseball diamond behind 20th Century Fox Studios in Los Angeles, James Caan is consoling 11-year-old Riley Kehoe. It's the second week of production on ABC's new Little League comedy, Back in the Game, and the camera has just stopped rolling on a scene in which Riley collides with his twin brother and fellow actor, Griffin. Riley hit the dirt hard, so Caan steps in with a bit of advice. "Next time, take him out" ...
