Del Mar's parking fail
I lived in Del Mar Heights for many years. Though technically not Del Mar (only "Del Mar" by ZIP Code), I did quite a bit of business and dining in Del Mar. At the time there was one woman in a straw hat that walked back-and-forth all day writing parking tickets. She wrote my car a ticket at the Post Office because the time limit is 15 minutes but the Post Office can be very slow. I fought the ticket. Del Mar residents and their city council should be ashamed of their reputation of their very aggressive (abuse) of their parking assets. Greedy, small minded little city of 1% jackasses.— June 14, 2017 8:38 p.m.
Judge Curiel gets another tough one
I didn't know there were any civil rights regarding the leasing of commercial property. Employment, residential real estate, yes. Commercial property only has to comply with zoning. The lessor has great latitude with terminating a commercial property lease, especially if one of the clauses of the lease has been violated. It seems this "tribe" is hiding behind religion.— June 14, 2017 8:34 p.m.

Zapf's husband files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
The first meeting of creditors is on June 14, 2017. Eric Zapf submitted a letter to the bankruptcy court appealing them to discharge the Getsen judgment. Getsen (et. al. because the title insurer is probably looking to get some of their claim payments returned). This case probably could mean the Zapf's having to sell the home to satisfy creditors. Not sure how many city council people rent, but this may be a glimpse.— June 9, 2017 9:14 p.m.
Two more downtown high-rises — 800 Broadway and 6th & A
Hmm. No more Bosa towers? I wonder what city the pirate of Vancouver is pillaging and pilfering now that he has taken all the low hanging fruit from San Diego.— June 9, 2017 7:44 p.m.
Zapf's husband files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
Eric Zapf earned $47,125 for his real estate company (broker). This is the Court of Appeal document in that case: http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/nonpub/D062874.…— June 3, 2017 9:08 p.m.
Zapf's husband files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
True. But he did not operate a business. This bankruptcy appears to be trying to eliminate a single judgment from a negligent real estate transaction. Zapf is a licensed real estate salesperson, not a broker. So he is the hired help, not the boss (or a business). He should have stuck with energy bars, the "Boulder Bars"... but family feuds destroyed that venture. Now the Bounder Bar name has been assumed by a Colorado based marijuana edibles company. Boulder Bars were the company that Eric and Lori Zapf operated years ago.— June 3, 2017 8:56 p.m.
Zapf's husband files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
Seems like Eric is more of a stay-at-home dad with his reported income. I guess they are both proud parents.— June 3, 2017 8:38 p.m.
Zapf's husband files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
In the Getsen Acquisitions v. Eric Zapf case, testimony by the plaintiff says that Eric Zapf told the sellers that an "administrative process" could be employed to avoid both foreclosure and a short sale. According to the trial court's findings, Zapf "told the Habers, in essence, that the entire banking/real estate industry was crooked, and that the financial system was arranged so that banks could make their money and 'screw the homeowner'." E&O insurers are not going to be pleased about paying a claim when their client, who has a fiduciary responsibility to the sellers, is saying statements like that. E&O covers errors and omissions, and Zapf was not making any errors or omissions in that transaction. E&O has clauses in their insurance contracts and I'm sure that statements like Zapf made indemnify them from claims.— June 3, 2017 8:36 p.m.
