How Terrible Herbst Rose to Become the Best Bad Guy in the West

  Featured image credit: Elizabeth K. Joseph Few companies have risen quickly in the esteem of patrons by offering a truly terrible experience. It’s not the only distinction that sets Terrible’s apart from other businesses. You may better recognize the brand as Terrible Herbst or the Terrible Herbst Convenience Store; a mainstay of Las Vegas life since 1959. Terrible’s made its name by keeping people moving through their daily lives with an extra spring in their step. And they often deliver their countless services in quirky ways that fit the non-conformist anything-goes spirit of the city. Today, we take a closer look at the most terrible brand in the West.  “The P.T. Barnum of Gasoline” Photo credit: Coolcaesar It was in 1938 that Edward R. Herbst opened the far less memorably named Martin Oil in Chicago. It was his first gas station and he already had big ideas for it.

  Featured image credit: Dave Proffer We’ve all heard horror stories of homeownership woe. A flooding upstairs bathroom crashing down into a home’s lower level. The spark of electrical wiring burning down a dream. Unseen black mold contaminating everything it touches.

Southern California Edison (SCE) is cutting power… in some cases, indefinitely. Los Angeles is throwing money at the problem. And Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency. As residents continue to dig in and fight for their beachfront homes, the awkward question remains: when do we declare Rancho Palos Verdes uninhabitable?  Not Exactly a Recent Problem Photo credit: Lizzie McVeigh The volatility of Rancho Palos Verdes’s land i...

Wildfires Inspire Stricter Housing Price Gouging Laws… and More Multifamily Investment Woes

  Featured image credit: CAL FIRE_Official The rain has finally arrived in Southern California, but January’s historic wildfires continue to cause turmoil. But this time, the problems are legislative. Last week, Los Angeles city officials dismissed a proposed citywide rent freeze. The suggested changes follow allegations of price gouging that also inspired a slew of stricter price gouging laws.  The Rejected Rent Freeze Ordinance Photo credit: Envato On Tuesday, February 4, the Los Angeles City Council passed new laws protecting fire victims from rent increases and, even in some cases, evictions. The action follows reports of landlords evicting tenants who housed unauthorized guests impacted by the fires. Some of these guests also brought along pets expressly forbidden by the rental terms. Clarifying the city’s position, councilmember Traci Park stated at the meeting, “During this emergency, acts of kindness and compassion should not be punished....
