The influx of ghetto Californians

[Big P]

My neighborhood can out ghetto yours ...I actually live in a nice area with older homes on big lots (one acre +) and many of them have been massively remodeled. It all started about 10 years ago. My neighbor 2 doors down was a city councilman. He and his wife were getting divorced and she started revenge ing her gardener...they owned an empty lot next to their house and she cheap-sold the lot to the gardener and cheap sold the house to one of his buddies...the gardener built a modest house and they started moving travel trailers in behind the houses...built a tall privacy fence around the back yards with gates going into the back...then kicked off their coyote (illegal alien smuggling) business...both front yards are full of unmarked U-haul type van/trucks and beat up chase cars and the backyards are full of illegals...these guys run 24/7 and at any given time there is no telling how many people are there...there is a constant stream of people in front of my house walking to the bus stop to shop while they "lay over" for the next leg of their trip...

Thread over.

Oh I don't care, really. I just think it's funny. The only other time I have ranted on a message board was at SR. All of those "CIA Pop!!!!" replies acting like Pop has cured cancer but keeps it hidden for the sake of humanity just got to me one day. It was difficult to participate in a true basketball discussion with all of the "over the top" responses and being mocked if your poor soul did not think the Spurs' latest move was the greatest heist in the history of sports. ST was looked at in such a negative light that I never actually came to the site to see for myself (as if you guys were hoopsWORLD or something). Once I did, I never looked back. Now I lurk here

Fixed

You rang?

Derrick Dial? ...& the supposed super INSIDER Amente..lol what a joke( I know he's media or something, but still..seriously?)..he breaks the news after some major site already broke it, then expects you to kiss his ass to get the rest of the info lol. I can't believe I fell for their so many years ago..its like they would brainwash you from visiting ST.

Flight attendant, my furry friend. Don't hack them off and piss away your good fortune.

Yeah, I know, but it kinda kills the ring-a-ding-dingness of the joke.

California vs. Texas in fight to attract and retain businesses



\\

And no matter how many protections a state builds into its programs, experts argue that taxpayers and politicians never know what's happening inside corporate boardrooms. Companies can always threaten to leave to shake more money out of state governments — regardless of whether it really makes business sense to move, said Fisher, the tax incentive expert.

"The company still holds all the cards," he said.

California May Quadruple Tax Breaks for Filmmakers

http://www.businessweek.com/articles...to-400-million


Are film tax credits cost effective?



"They don't pay for themselves," said economist Bob Tannenwald, who authored a national study on film tax credits for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a group that researches policies affecting low- and moderate-income people. "They have to be financed somehow, so spending has to be cut or taxes have to be raised elsewhere."

San Antonio, TX (score: 24.5)
While it may not be quite as popular as its Lone Star sister city, Austin, San Antonio, the country’s seventh most populous city, is quickly rising. In March, San Antonio will offer a new tax incentive program that will make it the only place in Texas to offer 20 percent. Currently, a budget of $250,000 in in-state spending is all it takes to qualify for the state’s 7.5 percent cash grant, with projects spending $5 million eligible for a 17.5 percent grant. The city also offers up-front sales tax exemptions and a six percent state occupancy tax. Also of interest is the San Antonio Local Filmmakers Grant, which provides residents with a $25,000 matching grant to make a feature-length motion picture in the city. San Antonio is also home to the country’s largest Alamo Drafthouse movie theater, a must-attend for any cinephile. With its cost-effective new incentive and briskly emerging moviemaking scene, it wouldn’t surprise us to see San Antonio crack the top 10 next year.
