First of all I hate the word landlord. I prefer unit owner as landlord just sounds so colonial and mean spirited.

We’ve really come to enjoy Top Chef Masters and hope it returns for a second season next summer.

We’ve all talked about our encounters with the homeless here before, and recently there was a study suggesting LA is the worst big city in American when it comes to treating their disadvantaged residents.
