More proof that without property rights there are no rights.

I'm offended by the name "Ralph" it's just too "male" and oppressive so I will ask the state to fire his (her?) sorry ass or I will remain aggrieved and may require reparations for my years of mental slavery to "the man."

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Welcome to the Land Of The Free.

One reason I find this interesting is that my sister's brother in law, a builder, has recently started building houses (I mean, rather than just doing alterations to existing properties). His first small development of houses have been designed as suitable for people with an elderly or infirm parent/relative in mind (based on his and his wife's experience with her infirm father), with a kind of apartment for the dependent relative and suitable facilities.

Presumably under such a law as this he couldn't even advertise his houses as they are!

It's ludicrous. It's saying an advertiser can't specify what sort of home they're renting. Some places are suitable for families, others for groups of sharing students, others for single people, and for various economic groups.

California, uber alles, california uuuuuuuuber alles!

I can expect this from the "fruit and nutz" state.
When a property owner cannot describe the suitability of an apartment they are renting without getting sued... it may be time to pack up and call yourself an Idahoian, or an Arizonian, or even a Rhode Islander! What is while is a look at the stats on how many business and professional people (big tax payers) are "fleeing the State of California"!! They are tired of paying 5 X the money or more for housing and just about everything else and then getting taxed to death by the Governator.

What business is it of the government's to tell people who they can and can not rent to, anyway? Sure, landlords might discriminate irrationally against some people, but what business is that of the government? There are always other landlords who won't discriminate. These "Fair Housing Laws" only waste taxpayers dollars employing bureaucrats and provide money for bloodsucking lawyers.

"What is while" ... what was I thinking??? Try, "what is interesting"

I don't even know why I typed that word...it's not even close.

It is to the point that people who own and maintain rentals are getting out of it. You cannot win. If you word your lease with specific rules (like no more than a certain number of people in a rental.) and then try to enforce it, you can be counter sued in court. The judge will side with the tennant who decided it was not fair that they could bring 20 family members into a one bedroom unit. My aunt and uncle had many rentals a few years back and sold every one of them because they kept losing money and couldn't afford to retire with that kind of thing chipping away at their retirement funds. Sad, but true.
Between fixing all the damages, tennents leaving oweing 3 months back rent, the way laws have made the eviction process long and costly and the liability that the landlord takes on... it's ends up costing the owner 9 times out of 10.

As long as renters outnumber landlords, they will always be favored in tenancy law. Another example of how democracy is four wolves and a sheep voting on who's for dinner.

Yet another reason why an earthquake wouldnt necessarily be a bad thing. The state leading in Moonbat production could use a little Shake'n Bake with a few hordes of locusts thrown in.

If the statement simply said: "Well suited for 1 or 2 Muslim adults", we would not be reading this item.

Kafkafornia.

California is a great state, but we have a serious infestation of moonbats. Lefty weirdness isn't the Governator's fault; he suffers from it as much as anyone, and God knows things would be worse without him in charge. (As they were under Gray Davis. Yikes!)

I keep hoping the moonbat infestation will move to Vermont or some such place, and leave the rest of us alone. So far, no luck.

This is what you get with career socialist liberal bureaucrats who have too much time on their hands, trying to justify their existence as GOD.

California will resemble Detroit in a few years; no one who can produce anything (or pay for producing anything) will live there any longer - leaving behind a bunch of helpless cockroaches unable to support themselves.

All due to liberal stupidity.

My advice to all thinking Californians; do what I did, get out now, while you can - sell out completely, leave no ties that bind. Turn your back on the stupid bastards and never return - not even with a tourist dollar.

mother-in-law unit ?? Back when I lived in El Dorado County, they used to call those units "Grannie flats"! I guess you could get sued for ageism now for such a term!
(Sadly, my spell check had no trouble with the word "ageism"!)

Off-Topic: Moonbat History Lesson - Pre-Columbian American Indians were Arabic-Speaking Muslims.

"I keep hoping the moonbat infestation will move to Vermont or some such place, and leave the rest of us alone. So far, no luck."

Jay, I believe many of them have moved to Nevada to escape California's strangling tax rate. But there are just too many of them for you to notice a difference. (I used to live in Nevada.)

A couple of questions:

Does this mean that the increasingly-popular 55-and over communities are against the law in California?

Are landlords still able to indicate that tenants must be non-smokers? (Answer: yes...California libs hate smokers.)

Can landlords ban pets?

Did a Moonbat really put out the Olympic torch?
What do these idiots have against PEACE?

More sad news, the loss of Icon Charleton Heston.

The Moonbats are having a field day with with Heston's death saying things like "I guess we can now pry that gun from his cold dead hands" and "I wish he had died from gunshot wounds for his refusal to support gun laws". And these are the more tame comments Ive run across - the worst ones included abusing his corpse any number ways.

Appearently Shillary Clinton wants Bush to NOT visit China and protest the Olympics.

That's so great coming from a person who claims to not want any more war.

Good article on the insane Moonbats at the KOS and Hestons death.

WTF? Literally, WTF! This is, without a doubt, the STUPIDEST and MOST DANGEROUS thing I've ever read about up to this point. This is really, really, REALLY a danger to us as homeowners. You can bet your ass that if this poor guy loses, it will be cited across the country in cases not disimilar. People had best be prepared to defend their rights as landowners.

Red Leg, one of my friends in the PGR in Kentucky had a battle with his "Neighborhood Association" over the height of his flag pole! The "Hood Nazis" had a problem with people having flags, so they wrote it into the "bylaws" that the pole had to be a height that was "non-standard". Heaven forbid a regular citizen should want to fly Old Glory in their front yard! How gaudy and tacky can you be??? It seems it's not enough to dictate what color and style your mailbox has to be for some people. Maybe it's time to stock up on plenty of ammo, as we may have to fight for our basic freedoms all over again.

The moonbats can stay in California. Their policies will ruin the state, which will prompt them to move to other states and eventually ruin them as well. I like my state, Alabama, just fine how it is.

On second thought, why don't the moonbats just move to Canada?

Wait. A guy put an ad on Craigslist, and the state of California's suing him even though no one actually complained about it??? Does that mean CA is perusing classified ads looking for people to sue based on how they word their ads? That can't be right. Even for CA. There must be something more to this story.

California - always on the cutting edge of insanity!

Does that mean CA is perusing classified ads looking for people to sue based on how they word their ads?

It appears to be a state supported campaign group doin' the perusin'. This is one of the things many people haven't really got their heads around yet about the New Fascism. It contracts out government to a myriad external agencies; pressure groups, committees, faux charities and regulatory agencies and so on, with power, patronage and money swirling between them and all mutually reinforcing. It's a very, very effective strategy.

People tend to be watching out for re-runs of the horrors of the past and thus can't quite see what's going on because what is happening is a new type of abuse, unprecedented in history. For instance communism and national socialism were characterised by particular visible effects; organised secret police forces, militarisation of society, etc. Those things aren't the strategy this time. As a result, because people aren't seeing torchlit cod-pagan processions and lots of peaked caps and banners, they don't recognise the descending tyranny for what it is.

Power isn't being concentrated in government so much as in a huge nebula of governance with unaccountable appointed agents and agencies who are nominally outside the governmental structure, and touted as "independent". Government itself is actually becoming steadily weaker and weaker as its powers are drained away; some upwards to tranzi organisations (UN, EU) and sideways to the various types of agency. Government becomes just a creature that does the bidding of the real policy makers who continue regardless of attempts at democratic change by the populace (simply put, the EPA will still be making environmental laws regardless of who happens to be your president, senator or congressman).

This is why the cultural marxism project rolls on apparently regardless of the wishes of the people, even though it has little support. The structures have been fundamentally altered over the past few decades. Until those structures can be recognised by the mass of the people and actively dismantled, there is no hope of winning back freedom.

So,... if I advertised a house for rent, I could be sued by some legalistic lowlife demanding it was their "right" to live in MY house for free?!? What a joke!!! You spineless A$$O$ seriously need to relocate. I hear the Navy has some island land they only use in passing for shell deposits.

yeah, because EVERYBODY wants to spend time in a 480 square foot room with children...

no big - i heard the u.k. was trying to do away with people owning more than one home - WHAT NEXT?

dhimmitude abounds!

Simple, to the point, pretty much sums it up nice and neatly!!!

Dan, I will look into sending your Senator a "Nice Communication" this evening.
