Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud has stated that Arab states will act to their full potential if Tehran were to obtain nuclear weapons.
“If Iran gets an operational nuclear weapon, all bets are off,” Prince said in an interview at World Policy Conference in Abu Dhabi.
Prince stated that the area in which we are located is extremely dangerous. The regional states always consider how they can protect themselves.
Prince Faisal stated that Riyadh still had doubts about the Iran nuclear deal but that it backed efforts to resurrect the agreement as long as it was only the beginning of a bigger agreement with Tehran.
“The signs right now are not very positive, unfortunately,” Prince said.
Prince also added that it would be quite pleasant to be able to believe that the Iranians do not have any interest in developing nuclear weapons, as we have heard from them. Right now we require more assurance.
Gulf Arab nations pushed for a more robust accord to address their worries about Iran’s missile development, the drone program, and network of regional allies.

Affordable housing in Fremantle
A project in collaboration with Aung Kyaw Thein, Kavi Lasrado, Melissa Soh and Tuan Ngo
Winners of the [design]ability competition run by The Department of Housing
Genius Loci - Spirit of the Place
Being a previous site for medium density social housing notorious of crime and drug, the site undoubtedly carried a bad vibe. In our efforts to re-invent our site’s image, it was important to highlight its significance in its surrounding context. Located eight km’s from Fremantle’s centre, it quickly became clear to us that it was removed from the typical charm of Fremantle; instead, the site was stuck in a limbo between low density suburban housing, high traffic and soon to be (maybe) truck freight link, almost sealing its fate into being an undesirable place to be, let alone live.
Despite the competing surrounding location factors, the site itself undulates down to the North/Western corner with a spine of of mature Eucalyptus trees leading down to Holland Street. The project is grounded by these natural site characteristics and aims to make them a part of the every day life of the residents.
We chose to use the North/South line of Eucalypts as a defining moment in our scheme and introduced a swale on the Northwest corner. This swale will create an ecologically productive water retention basin that will recharge the ground water for existing and new plants. In addition to this, a big ecologically aware move was through the use of drivable grass blocks as the predominant ground treatment as a way to ease run-off into stormwater drains. The surrounding ground level will be landscaped into a playful integration of native plants with play-scapes (playground landscapes) as well as community gardens.
Spine of Eucalyptus trees
Rotating the apartment levels other than ground floor to respond to site conditions
Town Houses on Holland street
View of apartment building on the way to Fremantle's centre - West bound on High Street
Working with the nature of the ground and its position as a threshold between suburbia and truck highway, we settled towards a form that will be true to this origin. An eight storey mass (Billboard and landmark) on the face of High street and a block of humble two storey townhouses which settles in nicely with the building grammar of Holland St. It is at top priority that our proposal was inoffensive and respectful to the surrounding community as a way to make amends from past wrongs and opportunity to also give back. With this thought in mind we were inspired to activate the ground level and work with the existing ecology of the site.
Double storey North facing apartments. The orientation as well as the loft design creates comfortable living conditions through cross ventillation and natural light.
Realistically, younger people are the strong demographic of Fremantle, and many of these couples and singles are well travelled, coming back to Perth for family or to settle down. These people often look to live in Fremantle, as it is a place with a rich culture and history. It is also a place viewed to be more urban than much of Perth, which is part of the appeal. The most important step in executing an affordable housing scheme was to recognise the need for diversity. To use diversity in our favour as a democratic leveller, an opportunity to learn from people around you in different walks of life; a lesson in respect, a provider of equal opportunity for those who risked being the victim of gentrification, a step towards more responsive useful spaces.

What is Consumer Debt?
Consumer debt is generally debt taken on in order to enjoy goods and services rather than investment in a home or other asset that may appreciate in value. When the economy is rolling, or the real estate market booming as it did in the last decade, it is very tempting to take out a home equity loan. Perhaps you purchased a boat, car, or recreational vehicle. If you ran up credit cards enjoying dining out or other pleasures, you may now be burdened with crushing consumer debt.
If you are an individual who has become mired in debt, it is possible you might never get out without the benefits of the federal bankruptcy laws. Bankruptcy may allow you to discharge many of these debts while promising to pay other debts.
Consumer debt is the debt of individuals rather than businesses. It can be “secured” or “unsecured.” Credit card debt is an example of unsecured debt: you borrow money purely on the promise that you will pay it back. A secured debt on the other hand, is borrowing for something that the lender can repossess in case you fail to repay the debt.
If you use a department store credit card to purchase a big ticket item (such as a TV, jewelry, computer, or furniture), you may have unknowingly given the store a security interest in the newly purchased item. Had you used a bank credit card the same purchase would have been unsecured.
Loans that are not secured are usually easier to discharge in bankruptcy. The lender was taking a greater risk, and therefore charged you a higher interest rate. Your ability to get credit was based partly on your credit rating at the time.
Secured loans often have to be paid if you want to keep the secured item(s) after you file bankruptcy or you can choose to surrender the item to your creditor and eliminate the debt. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, some secured debts can be stripped and turned into unsecured debts, which would allow you to keep the secured item and only pay a portion of the debt.
Hard Times Can Result In Debt
Turner Law Firm, PLLC knows that getting into debt is not only tempting, but unavoidable when people suffer illness, divorce or loss of a job. People rarely have enough savings to get by for very long, so they borrow.
Let Turner Law Firm answer your questions about bankruptcy if you need medical debt, credit card debt relief or have other overwhelming consumer debt. You may be eligible to file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Other forms of bankruptcy are intended for businesses, farms, and other entities.
Let us help you gain greater peace of mind.
We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

Take a seat...
It's often easy to spot the differences between a gaming chair and an office chair. For one, the bright colours and often larger frames of gaming chairs mean they stick out immediately whereas office chairs can blend into the background far easier.
A gaming chair is usually designed in the racer style, with a tall winged back, bucket seat and raised seat edges. You'll often usually find lumbar and head support cushions included, with armrests that can be adjusted in a minimum of three directions. You'll also find that gaming chairs can recline significantly further than office chairs, and offer rocking and tilt locks as well.
An office chair tones things down considerably. You'll find a flat cushion with a wingless back, often with fixed lumbar support built in. Armrests will generally only move up and down, and reclines will be limited with more restrictive tilt locks.
Gaming chairs are built to withstand longer use, which means they often employ materials that more users find comfortable. You're more likely to find memory foam seat cushions in the starting price category, with padding all the way up the back and on the armrests as well.

NOT everything is on the doorstep for trendy city-centre dwellers. Like out-of-towners, they have to do a weekly buy-in.
While the wide range of restaurants and delicatessens have proved ideal for Manchester's highest earners, they have to drive or catch a bus to the bigger supermarkets.
New research by students at Manchester Metropolitan University has found that almost half of those living in the city traipse back to the suburbs to do their weekly shop.
During the three-month study, MMU students questioned 200 city centre residents about their shopping habits. Just one in three was happy with range of food stores available. Most said city living had failed to live up to their 'everything-on-your-doorstep' expectation.
But with forecasts predicting that the number of people living in the city centre will rise from 8,000 to 13,400 by 2006, the researchers say that will need to be matched with an increase in food stores.
Kate Whittaker - who conducted the study with fellow students Phoebe Stewart, Jane McNabb and Anna Morgan - said: "Before they moved they all said that they had thought it would be more convenient and some thought they would have no need for a car because everything would be on their doorstep. Most people now realise the reality isn't that convenient. For some that has come a quite a shock and they are disappointed.
"I spoke to one woman who didn't want to commute every day and thought that would be cheaper. But prices were more expensive in the city because of convenience.
"This is something I had never thought about before - but living in the city isn't really convenient. It is a massive issue and people don't really think about it before they make the move."
Among the issues raised by some residents was the food stocked in the city - which they said was more geared to employees in search of a lunchtime snack - and the higher prices demanded by some convenience stores.
Research student Jane McNabb understands the issues raised because she lives in the city's Northern Quarter and experiences difficulties shopping for food.
She finds it so difficult to buy what she needs locally that she often shops on the internet - even though she would rather do so her shopping in the aisles or over the counter.
One 43-year-old city dweller told the researchers: "I have lived in the city centre for years, all over, and I've seen so many more apartments spring up since then and the number of food shops hasn't seemed to increase at all."
In light of the research, the need for a greater range of food stores in the city centre has also been echoed by leading retail analyst Cathy Parker, who is based at MMU's Business School.
"Too often regeneration projects focus far too much on improving where people live rather than improving how they live," she said.
"People move into the city centre to avoid long commutes, but if they still have to get into their car to go shopping then city centre living has not brought the improvements they expected."
Fiona Woodward, spokeswoman for developers Urban Splash, recognises the need for city centre accommodation to have the services they require relatively close-by.
She said: "The number of food shops available in the city centre is increasing, but they rarely seem to be located in the areas in which they are required the most. Urban Splash is looking to alter this by creating mixed retail units in the ground floor of our new developments in Castlefield."


PM's decision to scrap electoral reform has outraged NDP.
Maryam Monsef showed no desire to hold a referendum, blaming the committee for not achieving consensus on the issue. She is moving ahead with the next phase of her outreach, she said, announcing the launch of a new consultation process -- in the middle of the holiday season.
Chris Wattie / Reuters
Opposition MPs were livid.
The Liberals started backing away from the commitments made during the election campaign. Both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef seem to be trying hard to find arguments that would absolve them from the promise to make "every vote count."
And a majority still want a referendum.

If you’re looking for something in the middle of Europe, why not try Prague? Prague, is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, with over 2 million people. This beautiful city is understandably the center of some great architectural wonders. A highlight we’d like to see: Charles Bridge.
Now, if you’re really the adventurous type, and want to see the world from a bird’s eye view (in an oh so amazing way), why not take a trip to the forest and stay in a treehouse? I’m ready! Let’s go!

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Porsche Boxster radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.
Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2016 Porsche Boxster is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Porsche recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
What does radiator repair include? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Porsche Boxster cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks.
If your radiator is acting up, odds are good that your water pump needs to be checked for proper function, too. The water pump is one part on your 2016 Porsche Boxster engine that needs to be addressed ASAP once an issue is identified. This vital part keeps coolant moving through the engine, hoses, and radiator. If it’s not working well (or at all), your engine can easily overheat. Our technicians can take a look at your radiator’s components to help you stay ahead of any potential engine problems. From the radiator cap to the heater core, your 2016 Porsche Boxster is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Every job we do is backed by our Triple Promise: Fixed Right, Priced Right, Right on Time.
Wondering how to make your 2016 Porsche Boxster radiator last as long as possible? Read on for answers to common questions, and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care when your engine shows any signs of a faulty radiator.
Keeping your cool is easier when your engine is cool. Schedule your 2016 Porsche Boxster radiator repair or service today.

CaptiveMotion and metricminds came together at the end of a 5 year project to create facial animations for the cutscenes in Alan Wake
CaptiveMotion and metricminds have announced the completion of work on Alan Wake, a psychological action thriller in the works at Remedy Entertainment and set to be available on May 18 (US) and May 21 (Europe), exclusively for Xbox 360. Work on this project commenced with a 5 day shoot in late November, shooting with actors in the Tempe based CaptiveMotion studio. Over the course of 7 weeks, CaptiveMotion and metricminds generated 51 minutes of facial animation in 445 unique sequences. This animation, captured with CaptiveMotion's proprietary Embody technology, tracked as many as 1,600 individual markers per actor. After capturing the actors, the performances were mapped to a total of 21 separate characters. Proprietary tools then allowed the team to seamlessly synch the facial performance to the pre-recorded voice over work as well as drive realistic tongue animations. Additional services that were provided include rigging, skinning, and geometry modification.

I do not believe in war, but neither do I believe we are done with it. What I know for certain is that no future conflict should be started by leaders who do not have the courage to be honest about why it is necessary and to engage the entire nation in the effort.
The debate over fiscal responsibility has been muddled by the Great Recession; inevitably, perhaps, arguments over long-term fiscal problems have been conflated with debates over short-term recovery programs. Both debates have suffered terribly as a consequence.
For 10 years, the United States has been fighting very real and very expensive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But we have never levied a dime in special taxes to pay for either of these conflicts, let alone the also-expensive war at home (in the form of homeland security).
Without a draft, and without a war tax, 99.9% of Americans do not have to sacrifice at all to continue the war. It is too easy for war to become, for 99.9% of us, more like a video game played out on television.

W and I arrived in Charleston just in time to run the Bridge race with my best friend, Mary. Right before we were about to start the race we ran into an old friend from high school (who just so happens to be Mary's other BFF) so it was so fun to catch up before the race began.
Mary and I decided that goofing off was the best way to make it through the 6 miles that neither of us had trained for. This is about half way through on the amazing bridge that I marvel at each time I drive across it. So fun to know that I have run over it as well.
We noticed a group of Charleston fire fighters running together in uniform. Even in their cool (and heavy) hats! This is when I decided to run up beside one of them and ask him if he minded carrying me the rest of the way...He said yes but I did not have to actually take him up on the offer. Although my sore feet would now suggest otherwise. Then Mary, W and I ventured out to the beach for W's first experience with the sand and waves and beach in general. I'd say it went pretty well, although I will NEVER go to the beach unprepared again. Baby + sand + curious hands + mouth and eyes close by = sand in baby's eyes and mouth = tears. Lots of tears = bad, unprepared mom (note- W was fine and I was able to catch those tiny hands before he did any real damage). Next time I will make sure I have a water bottle with me to wash off any sandy fingers...
Our first few days in Charleston have been a blast and I cannot wait to share more camera pictures when we return to Texas. Yay for the beach, nice weather, best friends, family and the most beautiful city ever.

Humbling of a colossus: From the moment they first rumbled through the fog of WWI, the tank has changed history. Now, as British top brass consider scrapping them, historian NIGEL JONES recounts their terrifying toll on their prey... and their own crew
November 1917, and the day dawned dank and foggy over the water-logged trenches near Cambrai in eastern France.
Not surprisingly, Gefreiter (Lance-Corporal) Wilhelm Bar of Germany's 27th Reserve Infantry Regiment was feeling more demoralised than usual.
Then suddenly, out of the mist, burst a hurricane of shellfire, swiftly followed by the grinding sound of hundreds of engines and then the looming shapes of huge metal monsters, as the first large-scale tank assault in the history of warfare got underway.
'Masses of English infantry and numerous tanks bore down on our company from all sides,' Bar wrote later. 'We defended ourselves like demons. 'Fire at the infantry!' I screamed in the terrible uproar of battle ... but without artillery we were powerless against the tanks. They literally showered us with bullets and our losses were heavy...'
Firepower: A Russian T90 tank
This was the weapon that transformed warfare. An all powerful vehicle never seen before by soldiers that could cross virtually any terrain, that would develop massive firepower and become decisive in battle after battle, leaving untold carnage in its path.
No longer would an army's rate of advance be based on the pace of a foot soldier, or slowed by cavalry regiments' mounts that had to be regularly fed and watered. The tank, deployed in huge numbers, would make fast-moving armies invincible.
Yet now, some 100 years after it was first deployed by the Army, the Ministry of Defence is reportedly considering scrapping tanks altogether under radical proposals to modernise our forces and focus on cyberwarfare.
The cost of upgrading Britain's ageing fleet of 227 Challenger 2 tanks and the 338 armoured Warrior fighting vehicles that support them on the battlefield is apparently prohibitive. If these vast machines are mothballed, it would not only bring to an end the glorious history of the British tank but even presage the end for its supremacy in other countries.
But it was Winston Churchill, then the dynamic young First Lord of the Admiralty, who first championed the tank in London in 1914, after hearing that the War Office had abandoned tests involving a tractor-like vehicle called a 'trench crosser' as the heavy vehicles were considered too cumbersome.
Churchill's ever-fertile imagination was fired up by the idea of a vehicle with caterpillar tracks rather than wheels that enabled it to crawl over any terrain, however hostile.
Searching for ways to break the deadlock that had bogged down movement in the trenches of France and Flanders, Churchill took over the mothballed project.
He immediately ordered production of 18 experimental vehicles he called 'landships' but which soon acquired the nickname of 'tanks', as the people who made them reckoned they looked like water tanks.
In those early days, tanks were put into action in groups of two or three at a time, but a far-sighted British commander in the newly-formed Tank Corps, J F C 'Boney' Fuller, suggested switching strategy and using hundreds of tanks in a co-ordinated mass attack.
The plan was to put them into action at Cambrai — with huge initial success. For the first time on the Western Front, a major breakthrough was achieved, and although the Germans soon regained most of the ground they had lost, they adopted the tank themselves and began to copy the British and make their own.
The French, too, started producing tanks, and together the two Allied powers co-ordinated a mass tank attack at Amiens in August 1918 which rolled up the German army and led to the Armistice that ended the war just three months later.
Conditions for those early tank crews were hell. Temperatures inside reached a scorching 100f (38c), and thick smoke from the engines choked the crew.
The deafening noise meant orders could only be transmitted by hand signals, and bullets hitting the tank's outer shell detached red-hot splinters inside which flew about lethally, forcing the men to protect themselves with chainmail visors like medieval knights.
But the tank really came into its own in World War II, reaching its apogee with the German Army's panzer divisions.
Adolf Hitler, who had served as a lance-corporal on the Somme and may have encountered them on the battlefield, clearly understood their power.Commanders such as Heinz Guderian and Erwin Rommel pioneered 'Blitzkrieg': a style of assault that combined tanks and war planes to punch through enemy defences and spearhead a full blown and swift-moving invasion.
In the words of the historian Robert Citino: 'There were no horses this time, just cruel grey machines, engines roaring, treads clattering, machine guns barking away. They were on you almost before you knew it, and you were lucky if you lived to fight a second day.'
German tank columns had swept through Poland in 1939, and — a year later — Rommel's tanks crossed the Meuse and reached the Channel in a matter of days.
But the Germans were not alone in building up their tank forces. More than 84,000 Soviet T-34s were built between 1940 and 1946 — but it soon became apparent that crews were terrifyingly vulnerable to enemy tanks and shellfire.
A British Mark IV at the battle of Cambrai in 1917
If a shell penetrated a tank's armour, it would 'brew up', exploding in a fireball and incinerating the crew.
The Red Army nicknamed the T-34 the 'grave for seven brothers', a reference to its seven-man crew.
The lightly armoured American-made Sherman tanks were derided by the Germans as 'Tommy cookers' for their propensity to catch fire after being hit by an enemy shell.
After the fall of France, British tanks were deployed against the Italians in North Africa, but their finest hour came in 1942 when, copying the use of Blitzkrieg, General Bernard Montgomery built up a decisive advantage in tank numbers in Egypt to crush the German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps at the second Battle of El Alamein.
Tank driver Edwin 'Ben' Instone of the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, was one of those decorated for his valour at El Alamein. His citation reads: 'His tank was hit ten times, the last shot killing the operator and seriously wounding the commander and the gunner. He was trapped in his seat, but pushed the spare driver out and sent him for help.
'He then got out from the same door and re-entered the tank by the turret. He gave morphia to the two wounded men, and then, single-handed and under heavy fire, got his commander (who had lost both legs) out of the tank. He broke the fall for his commander by letting himself fall under him from the top of the turret.
'He then got his gunner out, who was almost fainting. Having given his commander more attention, he led back his gunner, who was very weak, to the first aid post, where he got help for the commander. All this was done under heavy machine-gun and shell fire.'
The war was really won, not on sands of North Africa but on the Russian steppes. In July 1943, Hitler approved Operation Citadel, a German offensive around the Ukrainian city of Kursk. It proved to be a fatal error. What followed was the largest set-piece battle in history, where 1.3 million Russians and 3,444 tanks faced 900,000 Germans with 2,700 tanks in an area the size of Wales.
Vast swathes of Hitler's panzer force were destroyed at Kursk, in the greatest tank battle the world has yet seen, and it opened up the road to Berlin and Germany's eventual defeat.
A year later, Britain and the U.S. too tasted victory in the west when, in Normandy, after the D-Day landings, by sheer weight of numbers, their Shermans defeated the pride of Nazi Germany's tanks — the Tiger — a massively heavy tank equipped with a lethal 88mm cannon, which was produced in too few numbers to avert Allied victory.
In the decades since, the tank has remained the flagship of every major army in the world. They have been used to pull off military coups, lead patriotic parades and overthrow Middle Eastern dictators. They have also crushed popular protests as far afield as Beijing, Budapest and Berlin.
And they couldn't be more different from the original Mark IV with its top speed of 4mph and peashooter gun barrel. Germany's monstrous Leopard 2A7, the tank widely considered to be the most advanced model in the world, weighs 60 tons, has grenade launchers, machine guns and a 120mm cannon delivering pinpoint accuracy at 2.5 miles — and can travel at more than 40mph.
If the Ministry of Defence ever relents and decides the tank has a place in its future plans, experts say the only option would be to buy a squadron of Leopards. How ironic, given the impact of that first Mark IV on terrified German troops more than a century ago.

Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) is the general name given to crop coverage provided through the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC). As the name suggests, multi-peril crop insurance policies provide coverage to the agricultural producer for a number of naturally occurring perils.
MPCI insurance policies provide coverage for loss of production or a combination of yield and price coverage. These combination products cover loss in value due to a change in market price during the crop insurance period, in addition to the perils covered by the standard loss of yield coverage.
Provides protection against physical damage from hail and/or fire. Other coverages provided include fire department service charges, transit coverage to the first place of storage, catastrophe loss award (most coverages) and replanting coverage (most crops). Options exist in some areas for other perils, such as wind and theft.
Crop-Hail can be used along with MPCI or other comprehensive coverages to offset the MPCI deductible and provide protection up to the actual cash value of the crop. Coverage is provided on an acre-by-acre basis, so damage that occurs on only part of a farm may be eligible for payment when the rest of the unit remains unaffected.

On Tuesday, May 19, a tiny percentage of California voters will go to the polls, in yet another special election.
This time, we'll be voting on run-off contests, replacement candidates, and the usual host of incomprehensible budget initiatives, whose only real benefit seems to be reaped by local TV and radio stations selling airtime to opaquely named special-interest groups. ("Californians for a Better Tomorrow," anyone?) On both sides of almost every initiative, the commercials usually take a negative, scare-mongering, vaguely hysterical tone, that's ultimately both confusing and alienating. I voted for gay marriage. But I tend to vote a straight-line "no" against all the budget initiatives, on principle: Isn't this why we elect people to the statehouse in Sacramento? Shouldn't our elected officials be making these decisions?
In any case, California's current budget crisis looms large over this. There's talk of default, of bankruptcy, and all manner of thumb-sucking punditry about who—or what—is to blame, from illegal aliens, to gerrymandered districting, to Arnold being a RHINO (a Republican in name only) who keeps growing the government.And it's all wrong. It all misses real point, and the real issue, which is California real-estate taxes, and the state's refusal to revisit something called Proposition 13. To use a New York expression, it's the third rail no one in California will touch and no one wants to talk about. Case in proof: When Arnold ran for governor and brought Warren Buffet onboard as his "special economic advisor," Buffet made some remarks in the press about Prop 13, and his feeling that the taxes on his California beach house were too low. Arnold's reaction? He went all Terminator on the Wizard of Omaha, warning Buffet that, if he did so much as mention Proposition 13 again, he'd have to do 500 push-ups.
In simplistic terms, here's the explanation for all of this:
In 1978, California passed the ""People's Initiative to Limit Property Taxation," otherwise known as Proposition 13, or, sometimes, "The Howard Jarvis tax revolt." It mandated that real-estate-tax assessments would be based on the selling price of a home, and could be increased by no more than 2 percent a year.
Got that? Taxes are based on the sale price. Good. Now let's jump ahead, 31 years, to a block of houses that Zwillow.com or Redfin.com estimates are worth $2 million apiece.
House 1 was last sold in 1979, and pays $5,255 in real-estate taxes based on its $370,000 sale price.
House 2 was last sold in 2000, and pays $18,000 in real-estate taxes, based on its $1.3 million sale price.
And House 3 was turned over in 2006—at the height of the real-estate bubble—and pays almost $40,000 on its $2.4 million sale price.
So what you have is three virtually identical houses—same lot size, same square footage, same basic amenities—paying wildly different taxes. And because there's a disincentive for homeowners to move—to hang onto those low tax rates—most of the homes on the block haven't sold in two decades, and fall in at the lower end of the tax assessments.
In other words, what you've got here—in real terms—is an entire block of California homes that are nominally worth $2 million each, that isn't paying its own way for government services. It's absurd. It's ridiculous. And what Arnold Schwarzenegger was banking on—living for—borrowing against—were the taxes to come on all those brand new $300,000 and $400,000 McMansions, in all those new developments that were put up over the past few years, that are now leading the nation in defaults.
California can pass all the budget propositions it wants. And it can continue to nickel-and-dime its citizens with yet still more nuisance taxes on cell phones, auto leases, license fees, and Internet services. Ultimately, it's all chump change.
Because until California takes a hard look at normalizing real-estate-tax assessments, it's a little like arguing about the bedroom wallpaper while the house is on fire.

Enthusing new Aussie country duo Seaforth have “reimagined” their catchy debut single, ‘Love That.’
They’ve just released a super-chilled version of the song, plus a new music video.
Filmed in Greenpoint Brooklyn, the video is set against a glittering New York City skyline.
It’s black and white colour-grade makes it distinctly different from the very colourful video for the original track release.
Check out ‘Love That (reimagined)’
Seaforth are childhood friends Tom Jordan and Mitch Thompson, who grew up together in the Sydney suburb of the same name.
They recently followed in the steps of Keith Urban and Morgan Evans and signed a major label recording deal in Nashville.
There’s no doubt the duo truly living the dream right now.
They’re on tour with Sony Music label-mate and country megastar Kane Brown in the USA and are working with Urban’s esteemed producer, Dan Huff.
As you can see (below), they just had a massive weekend with Brown at the Allen County Fair and are starting to build a strong following.
Seaforth will make their Grand Ole Opry debut on September 6 and join Mitchell Tenpenny on his Anything She Says US tour later in the year.
The boys also recorded the song ‘Anything She Says’ with Tenpenny as a prelude to the tour.
Check out ‘Anything She Says’ with Mitchell Tenpenny
Fingers crossed that they make it back to Australia, in the not too distant future, to play some shows as well!
