Lol. When was the last time you heard a Mayor, especially someone like Villaraigosa send a letter using the phrase “screwed over”? That first letter is either an earlier draft or I seriously doubt it’s what the Mayor of this huge city would send to the ‘Greater Corporate Banking Industry’. Mayor’s staffs usually don’t let things like that leave the building. Still interesting. Thanks for the post.

Perhaps Mr LA Mayor forgot to include sending a letter to the LA Housing Department. They too, appear to favor greed, by their recent increase inspection fees on tenants, at a time of, as Villaraigosa puts it, “hellish economic hardship.” And, by continuing to place many multi-family properties into the Rent Escrow Account Program, where some properties are eventually lost through foreclosure.
