A Tale of Two Houses
From: (http://www.washingtonlife.com/backissues/archives/01apr/real_estate.htm)
Still another lawyer has parted with a D.C. property. Attorney William Green was assisted by Washington Fine Properties' listing agents Diane Fentress and Adaline Neely in the sale of 4875 Loughboro Road N.W. to John Reilly and Margaret Warner. Jean Smith of RE/MAX represented the buyers in the purchase of their new $1.2 million home which boasts five bedrooms and four fireplaces. Meanwhile, Weichert realtor Penny Yerks, who recently won a regional award for the "Highest Resale Dollar Volume," got John and Margaret $1,875,000 for their previous residence located at 175 River Park Drive in Great Falls, Virginia. Readers may recall that in 1984, John Reilly headed-up the Vice Presidential selection process for Walter Mondale. Margaret Warner is the chief Washington correspondent with PBS's "NewsHour with Jim Lehrer." The new owners of their former River Park Drive address are lawyer Terry Wingfield and his wife Fran.
June 27 - Tiburon If you've spent much time on the Sausalito side of the Bay, at Ayala Cove, or the dock at Sam's Anchor Cafe in Tiburon on Sundays, you've no doubt seen a loud and obnoxiously-operated red cigarette-type boat roaring around, often with topless women. . . . He was uncharacteristically down in the dumps one day at the pool, so we asked him why. He explained that he has a 200-unit or so apartment house in the South Bay with working class tenants. He said he was upset because the other person in the deal wanted to raise the rents just because they could. "We've got all these tenants busting their asses in low wage jobs just trying to pay their rent," he moaned, "and this other person wants us to squeeze another $250,000 a year out of them. It makes me sick." This was about five years ago.
Lecture Notes: 07-27-05
I just want to celebrate another day of living ----
Counselor: You are on.
The San Rafael Police were at it again last night. Not the sirens but that warning tone, sounds like a buzzer. What do you call that?
Counselor: And that too is my fault?
Well when Sedge Thomson or was it the Red Comedian over at KQED got you to betray me, I think part of your thinking was ---
Counselor: You know we are on.
Ah, fine this is part of the lecture.
Counselor: This is supposed to be The Tale of Two Houses?
That is what I am talking about. You live in Marin I live in Alameda. That was part of your thinking. And part of living in Marin is that you have these police departments which will carry out intel operations and photocopy the notebook and give it to Michael Weiner in less than 24 hours.
Or the Mill Valley Police trying to set up an incident with the school children. I have parked my car for years on the same street and they have never bothered it until the Mill Valley Police man is lurking near by. (Note O’Reilly, this is why I live my life like the “Groundhog Day”. (That way I can detect what is out of order.))
Did you know that the San Rafael Police would break into the Colonial Motel Suspect’s room and give the notebook to Michael Weiner? No, not exactly. Or that the Mill Valley Police would try to set me up for a felony? No.
But part of your calculation was that you knew you lived in the middle of this vast network of relations. Relations with the police and Sheriff of Marin and you knew that they are largely unregulated. They can do whatever they want. And you knew there were other relationships, with KQED and the Red Comedian and Sedge Thomson, and with Ron Owens at KGO, and on and on.
When I first moved to Marin I shared a townhouse in Mill Valley with Helga Lohr Bailey.
Counselor: No, first you had that apartment in San Rafael.
Yes! (Photographic memory.) You are right. I had forgotten. Then later I tried again to start over and rented in Marin. Yes I remember now. I have tried and tried.
Helga Lohr Bailey was an old Red from the 1930’s. A Jew who fled the NAZIs and married Mr. Bailey for the US citizenship she used to explain. He was a labor organizer as I recall. They were united in Red solidarity.
She worked at KPFA radio station in Berkeley. Some sort of “European News Report” or something like that. She was a difficult room mate.
Counselor: How is it that you end up in these relationships? I mean you are a conservative Republican and your roommate is an old Red, working at KPFA? Why do you think that is?
Sweetheart, . . . we are in the middle of a lecture . . . I am sure our audience wants to hear about the Two Houses, zoning, tax, government regulation, you know there is a kind of conservatism to the recent opposition to the Kelo decision. They support exclusionary zoning and, (or that should be AND), they support abolition of redevelopment zones. They oppose all progress! They do not want the government to allow construction anywhere! (And what are they but Post Liberal also?)
But . . . I have been thinking that my arguments have had more appeal with the left with liberals than with conservatives. People like Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity just don’t get it. “What’s the big deal?” they ask.
My arguments are directed not to conservatives but to the center or left of center to get them to come closer to the line, or even cross over. This is why here in the Bay Area I got so much unwanted attention.
I challenged their thinking, there long held assumptions. They really believe they are helping “the poor” and when I show that the opposite is true they are not only surprised but actually angry.
For example, all those people in the South Bay apartment complex owned by the Tiburon resident, the billionaire, Richard ‘Rick’ Parasol, are forced to pay an extra $250,000 it is because as Mr. Parasol says, because he “can.” Just that. The market condition is that he can raise the price. And why can he? Because the liberal establishment, the Democrats, liberals like Bernie Ward, and people like your friend Ron Owen, and good Democrats like the Marin Senators Boxer and Feinstein, because all of you working in combination, have created the situation in which the people are subject to the predation of the Parasols of Marin.
Those people are victims of liberalism. (Though I should say victims of Post Liberalism, in deference to our old Magistor Ludi, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. For he would have understood the distinction. (If you want to criticize the Democrats do so because they never considered Moynihan as their Presidential candidate.))
But you and your liberal friends in Marin, Berkeley, San Francisco have lived very comfortably in your homes, smug in the belief that you are ‘good’ and when it is shown that you are elitist egotists, pursuing your own interests at the expense of the people your friends actually become angry. And alas angry not at themselves and their hypocrisy but at me.
This is why they used you. This is why the county police and sheriff are gunning for me. This is why they all rejoice in my pending death.
So no. I do not blame you for the San Rafael Police last night. You did not create this society of hate and greed and delusion. You are just part of it.
But, to answer your question, I do not know why I ended up living with the old Red, Helga Lohr Bailey. Do you . . .?
Counselor: Oh! Now I am going to get blamed for that too?
Thank you Yvonne.
Counselor: You are welcome.
