When you ask a County official if developers are paying bribes to County officials, those County officials always say: "uh, no, not in our County..that must be in San Francisco or one of those OTHER counties..."
If you ask the FBI, or any major forensic investigator, you get the opposite answer: "Yes, bribes are paid pretty much every day.."
As an average citizen, you may not care so much at first. You might think that those bribes are just for office buildings or shopping malls and why should you care?
You should care because those bribes are costing you your home!
Developers HATE affordable or reasonably priced homes. So do realtors. So do banks. THEY ALL MAKE MONEY OFF OF INFLATING THE VALUE OF REAL ESTATE.
None of them are on your side!
Ask yourself this: Why do Counties bill $900,000.00 to build a "low-income" studio apartment. Developers sell that same studio apartment for $1,600,000.00 and yet it only costs you $200,000.00 to build a whole 2 bedroom single family home if you are the GC?
It's an organized real estate crime racket!
If the developers didn't blockade your ability, or the small builder's ability, to build, you could build a $200,000.00 home in San Francisco, San Mateo, Marin or Alameda County.
For example, Alameda Naval Airbase in Oakland was going to be turned into a lovely "green city". All these small developers came in with great low-cost plans but the developer who got the contract was the one that paid the most bribes.
Bribes are paid to the Governor, the Mayor, the Supervisors. the agency bosses and staff. The bribes are paid through trusts, shell corporations, real estate, billions of dollars of Google, Twitter, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix and Sony Pictures stock and stock warrants which is never reported to the FEC; Billions of dollars of Google, Twitter, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix and Sony Pictures search engine rigging and shadow-banning which is never reported to the FEC; Free rent; Male and female prostitutes; Cars; Dinners; Party Financing; Sports Event Tickets; Political campaign printing and mailing services "Donations"; Secret PAC Financing; Jobs in Corporations in Silicon Valley For The Family Members of Those Who Take Bribes And Those Who Take Bribes; "Consulting" contracts from McKinsey as fronted pay-off gigs; Overpriced "Speaking Engagements" which are really just pay-offs conduited for donors; Gallery art; Private jet rides and the use of Government fuel depots (ie: Google handed out NASA jet fuel to staff); Recreational drugs; Real Estate; Fake mortgages; The use of Cayman, Boca Des Tores, Swiss and related money-laundering accounts; The use of HSBC, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Deustche Bank money laundering accounts and covert stock accounts; Free spam and bulk mailing services owned by Silicon Valley corporations; Use of high tech law firms such as Perkins Coie, Wilson Sonsini, MoFo, Covington & Burling, etc. to conduit bribes to officials; Payroll W2 and 1099 payments which were actually bribe payments for political work such as character assassinations and internet rigging; and other means.
The bribes pay permit offices to delay you or deny you, they pay zoning offices to zone you out, they pay insurance companies to not insure you, they banks to not finance you or to make your terms too harsh, they pay neighbors to sue your project, they pay every City, State and County office to stop, delay or cost-expand your single family home project so that you are not making the developers look bad!
YOU, with your $200,000.00 stand-alone home completely F*ck the market for all the $1,600,000.00 tiny condo's that the developers are hawking, particularly in the Bay Area!
All those Californian's that moved to Texas are the ones that finally worked out the math on this.
A nexus, though, was reached. The developer greed hole has sucked the entire American housing market into it's swampy dark whirlpool and now the emperor has no clothes.
Entire houses cost $200K to build. That is the fact that every American has become aware of. The developers and realty associations have hired a billion dollars worth of pundits, TV shills and fake bloggers to try to tell you that you must spend two million dollars to get a home...but they are lying scumbags!
In another example: There are national HUD Home Ownership Voucher HCV Homeownership Regulations (24 CFR Part 982, Subpart M) - HCV homeownership regulations are found in Sections 982.625-982.643 per the Statement of Homeowner Obligations.
A woman named Marcia Fudge is in charge of it in Washington, DC.
Many people have applied to the county on a monthly basis via the web, email, in-person visits, letter and phone calls.
Applicants participated with HUD and USDA in multiple qualification hearings and appraisals for the HUD and USDA home ownership vouchers and they were deemed “100% qualified”, under those agencies guidelines at every point.
When your name comes up, if you meet the criteria, you get $1600.00 per month of your mortgage paid for by the government. You have to pay the rest of your monthly mortgage, over and above, the $1600.00, or so. In many areas, on top of that, you can get up to $200K of your down-payment advanced by the feds. (ie: AC Boost, etc.)
The Developers and the real estate associations hate this! They pay part of their bribes to keep this program as inactive as possible. This program blows up their organized real estate crime racket. Marcia Fudge was supposed to have increased this program by 1000%, but the developers and real estate broker lobbies have blockaded every effort.
County agencies removed, deleted, hid, shadow-banned, held back or otherwise reprisal-harmed Applicant's from the waiting lists, holding databases and application programs in an intentional or malicious manner.
The developers hired their own hit-squads of ex-intelligence operatives including: Cardinal & Pine; Pacronym, Acronym; The Americano; Investing in US; Shadow Inc; Courier Newsroom; IN-Q-Tel; Gawker Media; Jalopnik; Gizmodo Media; K2 Intelligence; WikiStrat; Podesta Group; Fusion GPS; Google; YouTube; Alphabet; Facebook; Twitter; Think Progress; Media Matters); Black Cube; Correct The Record; Orbis Business Intelligence, Undercover Global Ltd; Stratfor; Jigsaw; ShareBlue/Acronym; Versa LLC; American Ledger; Supermajority News; New Venture Fund; Sixteen Thirty Fund; Cambridge Analytica; Sid Blumenthal; States Newsroom; Hopewell Fund; Open Society.; David Brock; AmpliFire News; American Bridge; Plouffe Consulting; Pantsuit Nation; MotiveAI; American Bridge 21st Century Foundation; Priorities USA; Kroll Tactical; PR Firm Sunshine Sachs; The American Independent Foundation; Covington and Burling; Buzzfeed; The American Independent; Perkins Coie; Secondary Infektion; Wilson Sonsini and thousands more to run hit-jobs, character assassinations, dirty tricks and economic reprisal attacks on any targets who reported their crimes or messed with the County officials they "OWN".
Using FBI and FINCEN quality forensic databases to check the stock market and investment banking ownerships of County officials and their families, which includes those entities that are financier/beneficiary oligarchs and tech companies, you can easily see the crime links.
Any developer or realty group who is, a USA and California governmental entity, doing business in the State of California, both, legitimately, and, covertly with an organized crime ‘enterprise’ operating within our Government that makes any revenue can now be tracked.
Nearly 40 Congress people have bailed out of the 2022 elections because they got tracked. Now a number of forensic groups are tracking EVERY county official in the Bay Area. Did you notice that Nancy Pelosi's kid got busted in a real estate scam? That was only the beginning?
Have you noticed all those FBI arrests at San Francisco City Hall? That was only the beginning?
There is no County official in the Bay Area who should not think their phone was not bugged for the last two years!
