LOS ANGELES – Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the LA City Council have united with seniors, tenant rights groups, unions and civil rights advocates to oppose Proposition 98, which aims to eliminate rent control, eviscerate local land use rules, gut environmental protections and undermine public water projects. Prop. 98 holds out the false promise of “eminent domain” reform, but instead obliterates Californian’s rights to fair housing.

I first met my "sunbaenim," (senior brother) Yoon Han Bong in May of 1983, when I was a foreign graduate student in New York. I met him with a group of students concerned about the path of our homeland. We were urban and full of intellectual pretentiousness; we thought we would meet a guy in a suit, with a refined speech. When he walked in, he did not look like what we expected at all... he resembled a handyman idling around Seoul's Union Station, with rugged hands. I thought: "this can't be him, right? Is someone else coming behind him?" and looked for others. Sometimes I remember that first encounter as if it happened yesterday.
