Occupy LA Cost the City $2.3 MillionAfter a long delay the city has finally released a tally on the cost of Occupy LA: The Los Angeles report requested by the City Council includes an estimate of more than $1.6 million in overtime for police, the Department of General Services and the Office of Public Safety. But the report notes that the estimate does not include the cost of restoring City Hall park. A rough early estimate [...]...
200 Arrested at Occupy LA, The Tent City is GoneAs I watched the live feeds last night the impression of both the news channels and the occupy livestreams was that the entire event was handled professionally with very few scuffles breaking out. This is as violent as it got last night: The tent city is gone and it won’t be coming back, at least not in City Hall park. The city is fencing it off so they can begin [...]...
Video: Weepy Protester Upset Over the End of Occupy TornotoThis has to be right up there with the original Ted Hall freak out video: Occupy Toronto was evicted.

Unbelievable: LA Offers to Pay to Move Occupy LA IndoorsFrom the LA Times, word of a deal to move the Occupy LA camp from its spot beside City Hall to new digs: Los Angeles officials have offered Occupy L.A. protesters a package of incentives that includes downtown office space and farmland in an attempt to persuade them to abandon their camp outside of City Hall, according to several demonstrators who have been in negotiations with the city. The details [...]...
Video: Occupy LA Still Camped at City Hall, Mayor Won’t Say When They’ll Be EvictedThis is exactly what I expected from Mayor Villaraigosa. After weeks of dithering over the camp, the Mayor announced a midnight deadline. He was very specific. Everyone had to be out by 12:01 AM Monday morning. This brought hundreds of extra people down to the camp, including media people. There was a small police presence which mainly kept the major streets clear. At 6am, the cops started pulling back (possibly [...]...
Mayor Retreats on Offer to Give Occupy LA Free Office Space After Word Leaks to the MediaYesterday I noted the outrageous plan by Mayor Villaraigosa to subsidize Occupy LA, giving them a one year lease on 10,000 s.f. of office space for $1. It appears the media leak of the plan has caused the city to quickly back away from its proposal: Occupy L.A. organizer Ryan Rice, who met with representatives from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s office on Tuesday afternoon, said the city staff were unhappy after [...]...
Video: Cafe Near OWS Says Business Down 40% Since Occupation BeganAlso noted in this clip, at least three businesses have decided not to move downtown in the wake of the protests. Given the chaos and vandalism this week, who can blame them. Finally, the cost to the city of Oakland has surpassed $2 million in police overtime alone. No doubt the final tally will be much, much higher. That’s not including the $4 million in lost revenue caused by the [...]...
Stimulus Saved Jobs at a Cost of Nearly $300K EachSometimes you have to know when to stop digging and admit failure: The report was written by the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors, a group of three economists who were all handpicked by Obama, and it chronicles the alleged success of the “stimulus” in adding or saving jobs. The council reports that, using “mainstream estimates of economic multipliers for the effects of fiscal stimulus” (which it describes as a [...]...
