GOP AG Reveals DOJ Funding for Soros-Supported Group Training Left-Leaning Prosecutors


(USNewsMag.com) – Andrew Bailey, the attorney general for Missouri, has written Congress to express his concern over a “radically progressive” and lenient approach to prosecuting crimes that is being propagated by a group linked to controversial Democratic donor George Soros.

Bailey has identified the group as the Vera Institute, an organization based in Brooklyn, New York. The organization’s stated goal is to “transform the criminal and legal justice systems.” The group has also received a grant from the Justice Department for an issue that Bailey believes warrants investigation.

According to the Missouri AG, the group “encourages” and trains prosecutors to adapt a much softer approach towards prosecuting suspects—an approach, he says, that is “counter-productive to public safety.” Bailey cites a recent example of how employing that kind of mindset resulted in tragedy: Kim Gardner, a circuit attorney for St. Louis, let out a repeat offender on bail, only to have the same man drive his speeding car into a young girl, causing her to lose both legs.

Why couldn't it just be me? Because she's softer than you. She's quieter than you. She doesn't yell at me.

San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California Home Sales Crater, Prices Begin to Drop. California Pending Sales Collapse 40%

The first year-over-year price declines crop up as the crazy California housing market “normalizes” amid holy-moly mortgage rates. By Wolf Richter for WOLF STREET.

Pending sales in California plunged by 40.6% in June from a year ago, according to the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.). Listings that went pending in June are expected to turn into closed sales in July, or at least many of them, and given the 40% plunge in pending sales in June, closed sales in July are going to be interesting. The discussion below is about closed sales in June.

Closed sales of single-family houses in California plunged by 8.4% in June from May and by 20.9% from a year ago. Closed sales of condos plunged by 27.0% from a year ago. Beyond the three lockdown months of 2020, June sales were the lowest since 2008.

All of the five regions had double-digit year-over-year sales declines – and in three of them, sales plunged by over 25%: Southern California, San Francisco Bay Area, and Inland Empire.

Of all the counties tracked by the California Association of Realtors, 48 experienced double-digit declines in closed sales. The counties with the biggest year-over-year plunges in closed sales: San Benito (-48.6%), Siskiyou (-45.2%), Orange (-36.1%), and Santa Cruz (-36.1%).

Here are the two most populous regions in California, the six counties of Southern California and the five big counties of the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area:

Sales in June, % Change fr. year ago Houses % YoY Condos % YoY
California Sales -20.9% -27.0%

Southern California counties -27.1% -24.8%
Los Angeles -20.6% -18.1%
Orange -36.1% -28.9%
Riverside -27.4% -24.5%
San Bernardino -27.5% -3.3%
San Diego -30.5% -32.0%
Ventura -22.6% -3.4%

San Francisco Bay Area counties -26.8% -33.4%
San Francisco -21.3% -32.7%
San Mateo (Silicon Valley) -31.3% -33.1%
Santa Clara (Silicon Valley) -31.4% -37.9%
Alameda -21.0% -21.8%
Contra Costa -31.0% -38.5%

Unsold inventory is suddenly coming out of the woodwork.
Active listing spiked by 64% year-over-year, to the highest since late 2019, and this occurred even as sales plunged:
San Francisco Bay Area: +61%
Southern California: +65%
Central Valley: 79%

Supply rose to 2.5 months, also the highest since late 2019, up from 1.7 months a year ago.

New listings jumped to 26,880 homes, the highest in nearly three years.

Crazy prices begin to fall.
Listings with price cuts rose to a share of 35.5% of total listings, the highest since 2019, with the median price cut being 5.3%.

Prices had gone crazy over the past few years. But over the past few months, county by county, prices began to dip from those ridiculous spikes. So these are deals that closed in June, but were made previously. Pending sales in June – the 40% year-over-year collapse – indicate that month-to-month dips in prices wasn’t a blip and are likely to become a trend.

Median prices are very volatile, they jump up and down, and can be skewed by changes in the mix of houses that sold, so take median prices with a good dose of caution.

In most counties in California, prices are still higher year-over-year. The month-to-month drops are just the very beginning.

But the first year-over-year price declines are cropping up in the San Francisco Bay Area, both in single-family houses and condos.

In San Francisco, the median price of single-family houses peaked in March at $2.06 million. It then dropped for three months in a row and in June reached $1.9 million, back where it had first been in March 2021. Condo prices were flat year-over-year.

In San Mateo County (norther part of Silicon Valley), the median price of single-family houses hit a crazy $2.4 million in April, and then dropped two months in a row, to $2.155 million, below June 2021 levels. Condo prices also dropped into the red year-over-year.

Median Prices, % change from year ago, June Houses % YoY Condos % YoY
California Sales 5.4% 10.0%

San Francisco Bay Area 3.7% 5.5%
San Francisco -2.6% 0.0%
San Mateo (Silicon Valley) -5.3% -0.7%
Santa Clara (Silicon Valley) 4.0% 5.5%
Alameda 9.2% 6.7%
Contra Costa -1.3% 13.6%
Southern California 8.4% 15.1%
Los Angeles 8.1% 15.0%
Orange 11.2% 15.8%
Riverside 12.2% 22.7%
San Bernardino 12.6% 13.7%
San Diego 9.8% 15.1%
Ventura 10.7% 11.8%

“Normalizing…”
No one knows what “normalize” means in the crazy California housing market, where the bottom has now fallen out of sales, but this market will “normalize further,” according to the C.A.R.

“With inflation remaining high and interest rates expected to climb further in the coming months, the market will normalize further in the second half of the year with softer sales and more moderate price growth,” said the C.A.R. report.

One thing is for sure: the magic is coming out of the housing market, as holy-moly mortgage rates begin to bite – and they bite a lot in California because prices are too dang high.
