Olischar/Juraczka ad World Heritage Site: Mayor Ludwig is once again lacking answers

by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Arbitrariness, arbitrariness and lack of transparency – Vienna People’s Party demands comprehensive clarification

Vienna (OTS) – “The fact is: The details of what the city is now planning in connection with the Heumarkt case following the decisions of the World Heritage Committee in Riyadh are being withheld from politicians and the public. And the open questions are becoming more and more. We finally want to know what’s going on. That’s why we made an urgent request to the mayor today,” said the planning spokeswoman for the Vienna People’s Party, local councilor Elisabeth Olischar, in the course of the urgent request to the mayor on the subject of world cultural heritage and planning practices in Vienna.

But even today the mayor failed to provide any substantive answers. So once once more responsibility was shifted, a lot of things were glossed over or questions were not answered for formal legal reasons.

“If you look at the sequence of the last few years, a quote from Franz Josef Strauss comes to mind in this context: ‘To err is human, but always to err is social democratic,’” said local councilor Manfred Juraczka in his contribution to the debate. Since the beginning, the Vienna SPÖ, with its changing coalition partners, has been unable to preserve the world cultural heritage and enable a viable project. “Finally act and give the hay market the attention it deserves,” said Juraczka in the direction of Mayor Ludwig.

Planless urban planning policy

“One thing is clear: what we are experiencing in connection with the Heumarkt case is the result of a haphazard and completely passive urban planning policy by the SPÖ Vienna,” Olischar continued. It is evident that the city government takes neither the rules of the game nor transparent processes seriously. The motto “Everything is possible” applies. “That means arbitrariness, arbitrariness, lack of transparency. A toxic cocktail. And that in such a sensitive industry,” said the planning spokeswoman.

The city must now do everything it can to save the world cultural heritage. As a result, a comprehensive reform of urban planning is necessary. “Above all, to finally ensure planning security, transparency and orientation in Vienna,” concluded Olischar.

The actress, daughter of legendary actor and director Charlie Chaplin, died on July 13 in Paris at the age of 74.

Charlie Chaplin’s daughter, Josephine Hannah Chaplin, has died in Paris at the age of 74, according to a notice in the notebook of the Figaro. She was the fourth of Charlie Chaplin’s eleven children, born of the actor’s fourth marriage to Oona O’Neill, herself the daughter of American playwright Eugene O’Neill.

Born in 1949 in Santa Monica, California, Josephine Chaplin had three sons: Charles, Julien and Arthur.

From an early age, the actress appeared in her father’s films: The limelight (Limelight, 1952) et The Countess of Hong Kong (1967). In the 1970s and 1980s, she would shoot in many feature films, such as “The smell of wild animals», «Red Nights», «Chicken In Vinegar» and even in the saga of «Charlotswhere she played Constance Bonacieux. She also starred in “Jack l’Eventereur» by Jesus Franco and «The Counts of Canterbury» by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

The actress has spent a long part of her life in Paris. Over the years, she was very invested in the transmission of the cultural heritage left by the representative of silent cinema. According The Sun , she had sponsored a statue of her father in Waterville, Ireland. Throughout her life, she will pay homage to him. “We feel that we have done everything we might to ensure that my father’s work is left to posterity in the best possible conditions.“, she said.

California’s Housing Crisis: Homelessness and Trailer Living on the Rise

by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

2023-07-22 02:30:08

Tamara moved into a trailer because she mightn’t pay her rent anymore. Beau did it following losing everything. As for Steven, he was tired of suffering crime in the only neighborhoods where he might still afford to live.

In California, the “trailers”, once hippie symbols of a free life or today new digital nomads, also testify to a much less glamorous social phenomenon: a housing crisis.

One of the US states with the highest per capita income, California, is also the one with the most homeless people. A third of the country’s homeless live in this state, which has 11% of the American population.

And with the housing crisis, many now have caravans, motorhomes, vans, mobile homes as their only roof, installed in sometimes improvised campsites in Los Angeles, where the authorities count around 75,000 homeless people, and cities around.

– Rent at nearly $3,000 –

“It’s the only thing I can afford,” says Beau Beard, pointing to his trailer parked in a narrow alley a stone’s throw from the hubbub of touristy Venice Beach.

For him, California was synonymous with a new beginning following a 42-month stay in prison. But he quickly became disillusioned.

“Here, it is the most expensive price per m2 on the real estate market” in the United States, laments this 57-year-old man. In June, the average rent reached 2,950 dollars (2,650 euros) per month in Los Angeles.

In 2021, seven million Americans spent more than half of their income on housing, up 25% from 2007, according to a study by the National Alliance on Homelessness, an NGO.

When his fiancée told him they were expecting a child in 2020, Beau bought a trailer to shelter his little family.

But child protection services didn’t like it. And withdrew custody of their daughter shortly following birth, believing that their accommodation was not suitable. She will be three years old on July 29.

“We’re stuck. We don’t know what to do,” he says, sitting on the porch of his blue trailer, which not only deprives him of his daughter, but also of any help finding subsidized housing.

We are “in a gray area (…) and that puts us at the bottom of the list for housing requests”, he complains.

– “Outcasts” –

His caravan is not alone on Jefferson Boulevard, which runs along the Ballona Ecological Reserve.

Here and there artistic installations, small gardens, chairs, tables line the caravans, a sign that some inhabitants have settled down.

But life is complicated, says Tamara Hernández, a makeup artist who left her apartment in Venice when the rent skyrocketed. In ten years, the rent for his studio has gone from 450 to 3,000 dollars.

Now, “to wash myself, you have to wait an hour to heat the water (…) It’s really hard here”, she says. And to the difficulties of everyday life is added the feeling of being pariahs. “I don’t know why people hate us. We’re good people.”

– “Impossible” –

Steven, who prefers not to give his last name, is employed in a supermarket.

He has lived here with his wife for two years. With their two salaries, they mightn’t afford more than a van, which they bought used for $6,000.

“It’s better than living in areas infested with drugs and gangs,” he explains, adding that to meet living expenses and rent in a middle-class neighborhood, he would have to work three jobs at the same time.

With prices rising by 6.5% in 2022 in the United States, the number of homeless people has increased in Los Angeles and other cities in the United States.

But in Los Angeles, the contrast is striking between the palaces of Hollywood and the homeless who sleep on the famous “Walk of Fame”, a famous avenue where the stars leave their footprints.

Steven, he dreams of other horizons.

“I’m saving to buy land, in Arkansas, or Missouri (…) I want to build a pond for fish and have a vegetable garden. Do you understand? But in California, that’s not likely to happen, it’s impossible.”
