An Unresolved Struggle for Reparations, Redress & Restitution in South Africa Khulumani Support Group
This document summarizes perspectives on reparations and redress for racial injustices in South Africa. It discusses the views of thinkers like Bryan Stevenson, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Hillary Beckles who argue that countries must address the lasting impacts of policies like slavery, segregation, and colonialism. It notes that resistance to reparations in South Africa reflects a failure to understand how these historical actions have harmed people and that reckoning with moral debts is needed for true peace and healing. The document advocates for a 10-point plan of reparatory justice, including apologies, cultural programs, and debt cancellation to address inequalities and move towards repairing damage from the past.
This document summarizes Robert David Steele's background and perspectives on political and social issues.

Families Under Pressure: Leeds Trinity March 16Jon Beech
The document discusses the difficulties faced by migrant families seeking asylum in the UK. It begins by defining refugees and asylum seekers, noting the key differences between the two groups. It then outlines some of the common reasons people flee their home countries to seek asylum, such as war, civil unrest, and persecution. The document emphasizes that, upon arriving in the UK, asylum seekers and refugees face numerous challenges, including not being able to work, lack of choice in housing, separation from family, and negative public perceptions. It further explains how raising children amidst this uncertainty and instability can compound existing difficulties. The last sections provide hypothetical scenarios of migrant families in crisis situations and discuss available sources of support.
Debt is a reflection of a country's health and well-being. Excessive debt cripples a nation to the point that it can no longer repair itself, take advantage of opportunities or progress in the right direction. Nations are no different than families. The same ills that befall and affect families plague entire nations. Several European nations are going through that learning curve right now and the US is getting ready to learn the same lesson as well. Politicians have no consciousness and no integrity. They would gladly saddle a nation with an ugly debt just to make themselves look good (so they can get re-elected). They tell us they are on our side and they are doing all these great things for us, but the truth is that none of it is true.

The document discusses the debate around nature vs nurture and whether human development is predetermined by genetics (nature) or influenced more by environmental experiences (nurture). While genetics play a role in physical traits, the author argues that nurture has a more significant impact on who we become based on how our experiences and surroundings shape our perceptions from a young age. Changing one's experiences can change their development, and personal examples are given of being influenced by friends and lacking a talent despite family similarities.

This document provides an overview of a proposed model for a large-scale homeless shelter and community called Sanctuary Center. Key details include:
- Sanctuary Center would be a national project run at the federal level, consolidating existing homeless resources. Major cities would be required to establish local centers.
- Each center would consist of 4 high-rise apartment buildings housing different populations, and 1 commercial building. Buildings would provide over 13,000 beds total.
- The commercial building would contain services like medical care, job training, stores, and community spaces. Security throughout would be tightly controlled.
- Residents would have private sleeping areas and storage. On-site jobs, stores, and services are
This document proposes a solution to homelessness in the United States called Sanctuary Center. It would establish large-scale, high-rise housing complexes in major cities to provide shelter for the homeless. The centers would be funded through public and private sources and would offer support services. They would house different populations, such as families, young adults, seniors, in separate buildings divided into floors by needs. The goal is to create a self-contained temporary housing solution that provides long-term shelter without forcing people back onto the streets.
The interview discusses citizenship and the role of citizens according to several historical figures. John Locke believes citizens should play an active role in government and have natural rights to life, liberty, and property. Maximilien Robespierre believes power should be concentrated in those loyal to the revolution and terror is justified, while others argue this leads to oppression. Jim Hawkins says conflict arises from greed and a desire for total power, ruining society. Atticus Finch defends equal rights for all and believes citizens should stand up for their beliefs. In conclusion, good citizenship involves respecting others, contributing to the community, and participating in decisions that affect society.

The document discusses the founding fathers' views on democracy and their intentions for the US government. It states that the founding fathers feared direct democracy and believed the constitution left most governmental powers to the states. It explains that the founding fathers, based on their experiences in the American Revolution and observations of failures of democracies in the past, designed the US system as a republic rather than a democracy to better protect individual liberties and prevent mob rule. The constitution was written to limit government and implement principles of separation of powers and checks and balances.

Ancient asses were found across parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, inhabiting rocky highlands and deserts in warmer, drier climates. Over time, domesticated donkeys have expanded their habitats beyond these original regions to include other marginal lands.

This document discusses how government organizations can use online tools like social media to better reach and engage with constituents as newspaper readership and traditional media declines. It establishes that newspaper circulation and readership among younger demographics is decreasing significantly while use of tools like Facebook, Twitter, and mobile devices is rising dramatically among the same groups. The document addresses common objections to using social media, outlines benefits like expanding reach and participation, and emphasizes the importance of ongoing engagement to build trust and credibility within the online communities. It concludes by providing contact information for the National Association of Government Webmasters and the presenter's local government organization in Morris County, New Jersey.
America's Minority Middle Class Stagnant Recovery PPKenyetta Lowery
The document discusses how minorities were disproportionately impacted by the recession and housing crisis. It provides statistics showing that minorities experienced foreclosures at twice the rate of white Americans from 2007 to 2009. The recession left many minorities with higher debt levels relative to their assets compared to white families. The document also outlines various relief programs established to help struggling homeowners, but notes minorities remain at greater risk for the effects of the next economic downturn due to ongoing financial inequities.

2023-08-24 City of Portland Bike Parking Technical Memo w illustrations.pdfRoger Valdez
The Street Trust is proposing changes to Portland's bicycle parking code to remove barriers to housing production and make the code more equitable. The current code requires overly prescriptive bike parking dimensions that reduce usable space in units. The Trust recommends simplifying requirements, increasing flexibility, and centering user needs rather than prioritizing bikes over housing. Specific proposals include reducing long-term bike parking ratios, cargo bike space dimensions, removing the 50% cap on in-unit parking, and making some requirements advisory.
The letter urges the Bellevue City Council to maintain its current relaxed restrictions around parking within a half mile of transit. It provides three key reasons this exemption is important: 1) Mandating parking increases housing costs today and in the future. 2) Requiring parking undermines investments in transit and encourages more driving. 3) People seeking housing and those providing it should be able to decide themselves whether parking is needed or valuable. Maintaining the exemption will reduce housing costs, support transit, and give people options to live car-free near transit.
The document is a letter from the Foundation for Equal Opportunity (FREOPP) to members of Congress regarding using tax incentives to support more affordable housing. It makes two main proposals: 1) Granting tax incentives to private developers who restrict rents on a portion of units, similar to programs in Seattle, and 2) Expanding tax credits for families to apply to their rent payments to provide immediate assistance. Taken together, these could motivate local governments to remove barriers to housing development. The letter requests further discussion of these ideas to implement tax incentives that efficiently produce more affordable housing units and assistance.
This document summarizes arguments against Charter Amendment 29 in Seattle, which aims to address homelessness. It argues that CA 29 will:
1) Make it harder to clear encampments by requiring a complex "balancing test" for each individual camper before clearing an encampment.
2) Violate good governance principles by amending the city charter, which should define government structure not policy, and lock 12% of the city budget into homelessness services indefinitely.
3) Have numerous unintended consequences by invalidating existing laws and setting legal precedents around issues like land use and law enforcement without understanding the full implications.
Overall, the document claims that while more housing and services for the homeless are
The document summarizes that:
- A review by the Center for Housing Economics found that Dayton's actual eviction rate is far lower than the 25th highest in the country as claimed by the Eviction Lab, and Dayton ranks over 100th nationally.
- The Eviction Lab uses only 2016 data and does not clearly define eviction, which can vary legally between places.
- When using HUD data, Dayton's eviction rate is under 2% and not high enough to be ranked by the Eviction Lab.
- Getting federal rent relief distributed would actually help people hurting in Dayton more than changes to the eviction process.
King county-superior-court-order-on-rha-v-city-of-seattle-22421Roger Valdez
This order denies the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and grants the defendant's cross-motion for summary judgment. It finds that the three Seattle ordinances establishing defenses to eviction due to financial hardship during COVID-19 do not conflict with state law and are therefore not preempted. While the ordinance provision staying late fees is preempted, the rest can be harmonized with state eviction statutes as establishing substantive defenses rather than conflicting with the statutes' procedural framework. Controlling Washington precedent has established that the state eviction laws provide only procedures, not substantive rights, so local governments can permissibly provide additional defenses.
$25 billion will be allocated for rental assistance from 2021 through September 2022 for households impacted by Covid-19. The CDC eviction ban will end on January 31, 2021. State and local governments will distribute funds to households making less than 80% of the area median income who are at risk of homelessness or have experienced financial hardship or unemployment due to Covid-19. Housing providers will be paid on behalf of eligible renters unless they refuse payment. Renters or providers can apply for assistance on the renter's behalf if they cosign the application.
The document is a letter from Roger Valdez of Seattle For Growth to members of the Seattle City Council regarding a communication from the Seattle Renter's Commission urging an end to credit checks for rental housing. Valdez argues that eliminating credit checks is not a solution and does not help people with poor credit or economic challenges. Instead, he suggests having a serious discussion on how to better assess risk for housing providers through alternative methods or a city fund to offset risk, while also helping renters improve their credit through successful tenancies. He invites the council to have a collaborative conversation on sensible ways to reduce risk and help people with economic challenges succeed.
This letter from the Director of an organization opposes a bill, SB 5160, being considered by the Senate Housing and Local Government Committee. The Director argues the bill does nothing to actually help those struggling due to COVID-19 and that it introduces uncertainty for housing providers by allowing non-paying tenants to remain for months without consequence. The letter urges the Committee to shelve the bill and instead focus on distributing rental relief funds provided by the Governor to help tenants pay rent.
The document appears to be a listing of page numbers from the 1984-1985 volume 94 of the Yale Law Journal. There is no other substantive content beyond the repeated listing of "HeinOnline --- 94 Yale L. J." followed by a page number ranging from 1 to 70.
The letter requests that Governor Inslee convene representatives from housing providers to provide advice on designing a rent relief distribution program for funds allocated by recent federal legislation. The program should pay full unpaid rent and utility bills for affected households, consider current income for eligibility, pay at least 90% of funds directly to housing providers, limit third parties, use existing lender relationships, make direct electronic payments, allow future rent/utility payments if COVID impacts continue, and modify eviction bans to allow eviction of tenants who can pay but aren't. It emphasizes that the law requires payment to housing providers, and state and local governments must work quickly with property owners to ensure resources reach those most in need.

This document discusses incentive zoning and inclusionary zoning policies. It summarizes that incentive zoning allows increased development in exchange for public benefits, while inclusionary zoning requires affordable housing units be included in new developments. However, the document argues these policies are flawed because they are based on the false premise that more housing supply increases prices. It also claims the fees can make projects infeasible and constitute an illegal taking of private property without compensation.
This document summarizes data from a 2020 Housing Stability Task Force presentation by the Colorado Apartment Association. It finds that rent collection rates have remained strong in Colorado during the pandemic, at only slightly below 2019 levels. Eviction filings have also slowed significantly since April 2020 compared to typical levels. The data shows no correlation between eviction filings and changes in unemployment or average rent levels in Colorado. The document concludes that Colorado is not experiencing a housing crisis in terms of ability to pay rent or eviction rates. It argues policies should focus on decreasing the time and costs associated with the eviction process to balance housing access and stability.
Order Denying Injunction Against CDC Eviction BanRoger Valdez
This order addresses a motion for preliminary injunction against the CDC's nationwide eviction moratorium. The order provides background on the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken, including eviction moratoria. It describes the plaintiffs, who are landlords seeking to evict tenants for nonpayment of rent. It also outlines the requirements to qualify for protection under the CDC moratorium. The order analyzes the motion under the four-part test for preliminary injunctions, considering the plaintiffs' likelihood of success, irreparable injury, balance of harms, and the public interest. It notes defendants challenge plaintiffs' standing and argue failure to join indispensable parties.

Listing Turkey - Piyalepasa Istanbul CatalogListing Turkey
We are working around the clock to transform a long-time dream into reality. As a result, Piyalepasa Istanbul will be the largest privately developed urban regeneration project in Turkey.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WE HAVE BEEN LONGING FOR IS COMING TO LIFE
The good old days of the Piyalepasa neighborhood are being brought back to life with Piyalepasa Istanbul houses, residences, offices, hotels and a pedestrianized shopping avenue.
The wide streets of this 82.000 square meter development conveniently face the main boulevard in a prime Beyoglu location. “Piyalepaşa İstanbul” stands out as the only project designed to offer a neighborhood lifestyle, complete with its grocers, bagel sellers and greengrocer. Piyalepasa Istanbul has all the values to make it an authentic neighborhood, our very own community.
A NEIGHBORHOOD FULL OF LIFE, IN THE HEART OF THE CITY!
“Piyalepaşa İstanbul” is a “mixed-use” concept containing all the elements for a vibrant social life with houses, residences, offices, hotels and high street shopping.
“Piyalepaşa İstanbul” will take the liveliness of Istanbul into its heart. The elegant sparkle of Nisantasi, the young and colorful Besiktas, the variety and multicultural heritage of Istiklal Street will all be contained within the streets of this neighborhood.
“Piyalepaşa İstanbul” bears traces of the most beautiful examples of Turkish architecture from the Seljuks to the Ottomans and from Anatolia to Rumelia. With its graded facades, wide eaves, bay windows, pools, and interior courtyard systems, it offers a new living space without disrupting the city’s silhouette and neighborhood.
“Piyalepaşa İstanbul” is the new attraction of this splendid city.
TO BE AT THE CENTER OF ISTANBUL… THIS IS REAL LUXURY!
With its proximity to D-100 highway, connecting roads and tunnels, “Piyalepaşa İstanbul” is only minutes away from Kabatas, Besiktas, the Golden Horn and Karakoy.
“Piyalepaşa İstanbul” is close to the prestigious new Istanbul Court House, a major hospital, the Perpa trade center and the city’s most lively neighborhoods. With its shuttle service to Okmeydani Metrobus station, Sishane and the Court House subway stations, “Piyalepaşa İstanbul” will provide you with the most convenient transport connections.

“I’m looking to produce a follow-up segment on how
housing providers are weathering the pandemic one-
year in, especially as the eviction moratorium is
extended and the new federal administration takes
office.”
“Happy to help. Can we talk for a few minutes and get a
bit more about the context it will in. I’ll get some folks
lined up. How many are you looking for?”
23. What happened next?
“Bill, the team and I greatly appreciate your
patience and flexibility, and as the pandemic
continues, we’d love to hear from you again if funds
are (or aren’t) distributed for you. We have Mayor
Durkan and King County Executive Dow Constantine
on each week, so I will make a note to ask the
Mayor tomorrow about the undistributed funds
and the Executive when he’s on next Tuesday (and
we open those segments for community calls, if
you’d like to call in as well).”
