Are California lawmakers chipping away at your property rights? In this seminar, we break down two major changes impacting homeowners, HOAs, and landlords statewide. Learn what California Assembly Bill 130 means for HOA enforcement and how AB 1620 could force landlords to rent renovated units at legacy rates. If you're a homeowner, HOA board member, property manager, or landlord, this is a must-watch. What we cover: AB 130 (effective July 1, 2025): HOAs are now capped at $100 for most fines tied to CC&Rs, with no late fees or interest allowed. The only exception is for documented, immediate health or safety risks. We'll explain what qualifies, why HOAs must comply immediately, and what policy updates are required across California's 50,000 HOAs. We'll also discuss practical implications like “18-wheeler screens” and “boat screens” and how enforcement changes under the new cap. AB 1620: A tenant with permanent mobility disabilities can move to a comparable or smaller unit in the same building without losing their rent level. We'll walk through a real-world scenario: a landlord renovates a first-floor unit, only to be required to offer it at the prior (lower) rent. We'll outline who's covered, what “comparable” means, and the financial risks for owners planning upgrades.

Bronwyn Holm speaks to Liz Gunn about her recent article on a specific pillar of Agenda 2030, which aims to take away all of our private property rights through local council bureaucratic overreach. Below is the full writeup by Bronwyn.The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 is a non-binding international agreement adopted by UN member states — including Australia — to guide disaster risk management globally. It focuses on reducing disaster risks (like bushfires, floods, pandemics, etc.) to protect lives, livelihoods, and property.What is the Sendai Framework?Adopted by the UN in March 2015 in Sendai, Japan.Aims to reduce disaster risk and loss of lives, homes, infrastructure, and the environment.Covers both natural hazards (like storms, droughts, fires) and human-made disasters (like industrial accidents or biological threats).It focuses on four key priorities:Understanding risk — using data, science, and communication to assess hazards.Strengthening governance — national and local policies, laws, and institutions.Investing in resilience — infrastructure, land use, emergency services.Improving preparedness — early warning systems, community plans, recovery frameworks.What Does It Mean for Your Home or Property Rights?Here's where it gets concerning — especially for property owners:Key implications:Local councils and governments may rezone or restrict your land (e.g. declare it flood/fire-prone) based on “disaster risk,” and claim it aligns with the Sendai Framework.Biosecurity or disaster powers might be extended using Sendai-aligned policies to justify actions like:Forced relocationCompulsory land acquisitionDestruction of property deemed “unsafe”Barriers to rebuilding after disaster unless you meet strict criteriaYou might lose autonomy over rebuilding or land use after a declared disaster or in a designated “risk zone.”MEANING you will lose your property.RENTING people means your owners have lost your property where you live.Important Note: The Sendai Framework itself is not law — but Australian governments use it to justify domestic policy changes, including:State disaster legislationEmergency management powersBiosecurity measuresHousing development limitsWhat Are Your Rights?You still own your home and land unless it is forcibly acquired under state or federal legislation.If affected by rezoning, forced acquisition, or development bans, you may have legal rights to:Challenge decisions in courtSeek compensationPush for community consultation (though this is often limited)You can object to planning changes through local councils (though not always successful). GYMPIE has passed theirs past recently- so every one needs to go to the council meetings and object.Joining private land trusts, Indigenous Corporations, or PMAs (Private Membership Associations) may help you reclaim autonomy in future structures.Earthfood: www.yourearthfood.comBan Dic Dan (Victoria Campaign): https://bandicdan.com

They discuss the contentious stadium funding bill benefiting the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, highlighting how the St. Louis Cardinals stand to gain hundreds of millions for stadium upgrades despite sitting out the negotiations. Lamping shares his candid view on the Chiefs and Royals potentially moving to Kansas and expresses indifference toward the Royals. They also cover Kehoe's surprising mix of consensus-driven politics—supporting both school choice and increased public school funding—and recent laws such as the K-12 cell phone ban and free in-state college tuition for first responders' kids. The conversation critiques government expansion masked as incentives, stresses the importance of property rights, and warns of looming fiscal constraints due to Medicaid funding changes.

While serving in the US Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee and Homeland Security Committee. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. Our conversation is focused on: The US airstrikes authorized by President Trump targeting Iran's nuclear sites and the realities on the ground within the Middle East. Lessons Learned in the Middle East | The next step as calls for "regime change in Tehran" grow louder within the Iranian diaspora, and the importance of an organic grown opposition in Iran to revolt, rather than foreign intervention. The rise of socialism in America's major cities. Ten percent of NYC voters choose a socialist with anti-Semitic views as the official Democratic Party's NYC mayoral candidate for the November 2025 election. Rise of Socialism in America | Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist embracing radical views which undermine the U.S. Constitution would be the first Muslim to lead the nation's largest city if elected. His chants for a "free Palestine" and the public call to "Globalize the Intifada" - a slogan used by pro-Palestinian activists to call for widespread violence against Jews and Israel has raised serious concerns from within New York and around the country. Focusing on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it carries out its responsibilities in arresting illegal immigrants involved in criminality. On the efforts of ICE within Virginia: “We are now through over 2,000 arrests as part of the Virginia Homeland Security Task Force. It's working, and most importantly, we're getting really tough bad guys off the street.” - Governor Glen Youngkin, Virginia In addition to the conversation on US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites authorized by President Trump and the reaction by Democrat leaders on the Hill, Tom Garrett also highlights the challenges we face within America as New York City's democrat voters elect a staunch socialist as its candidate for this November's mayoral election. Tom Garrett is a US Army veteran and served in locations including the perilous Balkan region during the 1990s right after the Dayton Peace Accords were signed. He served as Assistant Attorney General, Commonwealth of Virginia. In 2016, Honorable Tom Garrett was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.

Eric Claeys’ new publication, Natural Property Rights, presents a novel theory of property based on individual, pre-political rights. The book argues that a just system of property protects people's rights to use resources and also orders those rights consistent with natural law and the public welfare. Drawing on influential property theorists such as Grotius, Locke, Blackstone, and early American statesmen and judges, as well as recent work in normative and analytical philosophy, the book shows how natural rights guide political and legal reasoning about property law. It examines how natural rights justify the most familiar institutions in property, including public property, ownership, the system of estates and future interests, leases, servitudes, mortgages, police regulation, and eminent domain. Thought-provoking and comprehensive, the book challenges leading contemporary justifications for property and shows how property both secures individual freedom and serves the common good.Join this Talks with Authors program to discuss all this and more!Featuring:Prof. Eric Claeys, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason UniversityJ.

I, Stewart Alsop, had a fascinating conversation on this episode of Crazy Wisdom with Mallory McGee, the founder of Chroma, who is doing some really interesting work at the intersection of AI and crypto. We dove deep into how these two powerful technologies might reshape the internet and our interactions with it, moving beyond the hype cycles to what's truly foundational.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 The Intersection of AI and Crypto01:28 Bitcoin's Origins and Austrian Economics04:35 AI's Centralization Problem and the New Gatekeepers09:58 Agent Interactions and Decentralized Databases for Trustless Transactions11:11 AI as a Prosthetic Mind and the Interpretability Challenge15:12 Deterministic Blockchains vs. Non-Deterministic AI Intents18:44 The Demise of Traditional Apps in an Agent-Driven World35:07 Property Rights, Agent Registries, and Blockchains as BackendsKey InsightsCrypto's Enduring Fundamentals: Mallory emphasized that while crypto prices are often noise, the underlying fundamentals point to a new, long-term cycle for the Internet itself. It's about decentralizing control, a core principle stemming from Bitcoin's original blend of economics and technology.AI's Centralization Dilemma: We discussed the concerning trend of AI development consolidating power within a few major players. This, as Mallory pointed out, ironically mirrors the very centralization crypto aims to dismantle, potentially shifting control from governments to a new set of tech monopolies.Agents are the Future of Interaction: Mallory envisions a future where most digital interactions aren't human-to-LLM, but agent-to-agent. These autonomous agents will require decentralized, trustless platforms like blockchains to transact, hold assets, and communicate confidentially.Bridging Non-Deterministic AI with Deterministic Blockchains: A fascinating challenge Mallory highlighted is translating the non-deterministic "intents" of AI (e.g., an agent's goal to "get me a good return on spare cash") into the deterministic transactions required by blockchains. This translation layer is crucial for agents to operate effectively on-chain.The Decline of Traditional Apps: Mallory made a bold claim that traditional apps and web interfaces are on their way out. As AI agents become capable of generating personalized interfaces on the fly, the need for standardized, pre-built apps will diminish, leading to a world where software is hyper-personalized and often ephemeral.Blockchains as Agent Backbones: We explored the intriguing idea that blockchains might be inherently better suited for AI agents than for direct human use. Their deterministic nature, ability to handle assets, and potential for trustless reputation systems make them ideal backends for an agent-centric internet.Trust and Reputation for Agents: In a world teeming with AI agents, establishing trust is paramount. Mallory suggested that on-chain mechanisms like reward and slashing systems can be used to build verifiable reputation scores for agents, helping us discern trustworthy actors from malicious ones without central oversight.The Battle for an Open AI Future: The age-old battle between open and closed source is playing out again in the AI sphere. While centralized players currently seem to dominate, Mallory sees hope in the open-source AI movement, which could provide a crucial alternative to a future controlled by a few large entities.Contact Information*   Twitter: @McGee_noodle*   Company: Chroma
