The homeless high-rise life is proving quite agreeable to ol’ Dave. I wake up to the best view in the city, and it gets even better at sunset.
I have to confess something: I never lived in Beverly Hills. My house was actually in Beverlywood, the upscale private community across the street from Beverly Hills (but technically in L.A.). The reason I always said Beverly Hills is that Beverlywood is VERY small. Small enough that a stalker could potentially drive around trying to find my house, or catch me taking out my trash, or see me through my window.
I have many great readers (you guys), but I also get many wacky DMs and emails. I could never risk identifying my community that specifically.
See, that’s why Mayor Bass and the City Council are putting a homeless shelter for 100 schizo druggies (trucked in from Skid Row) in Beverlywood (I wrote about that last year); it’s L.A. They can do it there, but they have no claim over BH.
Which is where I am now, faaaar from the shelter, which will open in November and drive down the property values of the poor bastards who live in Beverlywood.
That’s a main reason I sold; get out NOW before that cancer opens its doors. Because it’s bad enough worrying about stalkers; once that shelter opens, the simple act of wheeling your trash to the curb at night will become a terrifying experience, as any number of pants-shitting lunatics might be hiding in the bushes.
Beverlywood will become mini South Africa. Used to be, we never locked our backyard gates, because our friendly bean gardeners needed access. But starting in November? Wrought iron electric gates, entry codes, no more sending your kids to the local park unattended, or at all. Poop on the slides, urine in the sandbox.
I hated to leave my community of 50 years, but I’m very pleased to be in BH proper now. We don’t allow that shit here (literally).
Before I decided to sell, I tried leading a group of Beverlywood homeowners in a movement to oppose the shelter. Beverlywood went for Trump and against Gascon in 2024, but it’s amazing how that “red wave” didn’t translate to a passion for keeping our own neighborhood safe. This is why I rail so hard against rightist “dreamers,” “philosophers,” Bronze Age Raw Egg Moldbug, etc. The more you hook rightists on abstract issues and fantasies — Monarchism! Evola! Chemtrails! Satanic cults! Frankists! Deep State! Stollen election! — the more you wean them off focusing on what’s going on right in front of their faces.
The homeless shelter, named “Terraza” because Arkham is copyrighted by DC, was more than a story for me; it was a potential deciding factor for whether or not to sell my creaky old broken-down rat-infested house. So I pursued my questions even without neighborhood support.
December 18th last year I emailed the responsible parties: Mayor Bass, our councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky…
…Tonja Boykin (COO of Weingart, the government-funded nonprofit that will be running the shelter)…

…and Kevin Murray, the disgraced former California state senator who is CEO of Weingart.
And no, this photo is not fake.
And I asked this collection of barnyard grotesqueries a few simple questions.
Here’s the email I sent:
Dear Ms. Boykin, Mr. Murray, Councilwoman Yaroslavsky, and Mayor Bass:
My name is David Cole, a resident of Beverlywood for 50 years, a graduate of Hamilton High, Mayor Bass’ alma mater, class of 1986. I’m also a journalist whose work has appeared in the L.A. Times and the L.A. Jewish Journal. I have a keen interest in the Terraza shelter, and I hope you won’t mind if I throw a few on-the-record questions your way. I realize that a few months ago Weingart signed on to a letter (which Councilwoman Yaroslavsky refused to sign) of general principle, but I’d like to see if I can pin down a few more specifics.
1) Has Weingart provided any specific security plans? Including the exact number of security personnel and the exact number of guards per hour (i.e. how many in the morning? Afternoon? Night? Overnight?). If we don’t have such details, are we not owed them?
2) What is Weingart’s reasoning regarding the decision to set the minimum age of residents at 55? FBI crime stats show that criminality is still high at 55. Why not 62, the earliest retirement/SS age? That small bump in years would do a lot to protect us from potential criminality. Does Weingart have any data behind its decision to start at 55? If we learned anything from Covid, it’s that decisions must be data-based, correct? Not “hunch-based.” So do you have any data behind the decision to have a minimum age of 55 as opposed to, say, 62, the age in which FBI data clearly demonstrates a marked decrease in criminality?
3) The curfew: The letter Weingart agreed to in principle states “There will be quiet hours between 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., during which time, residents would be expected to remain within the facility. Loitering around the facility will not be allowed at any time, and, although there will be no formal curfew, wandering outside in the neighborhood after 10 p.m. will also not be permitted.” If wandering outside after 10pm “will not be permitted,” that means there’s a formal curfew. If there’s no formal curfew, then wandering outside after 10pm will be allowed. So which is it? Is there a formal curfew or not? Weingart needs to be clear on this. Because that letter’s double-talk. There’s either an enforced curfew or there isn’t, and if there isn’t, then “wandering” in the middle of the night will not be “prohibited.” Discouraged, perhaps. But not "prohibited." Because "prohibited" means formal curfew. And Weingart says there'll be no formal curfew.
4) From the letter: “To be eligible, residents must be capable of managing daily life activities - this will not be a facility for acute mental health or substance abuse treatment.” To what extent can Weingart legally discriminate on the basis of mental health? Is Weingart promising something it cannot legally deliver, so that should schizophrenics begin prowling our streets and we try to hold Weingart to that letter, you can say “hey, sorry, our hands are tied by the law?”
5) Has Weingart conducted any studies regarding the impact of the project on the shops in the Vons center across the street? This is the only supermarket we have now that Kroger closed the “kosher Ralphs” on Pico to childishly punish the City Council. Has Weingart spoken to the shop owners in that center? K&A Canton? Taco Plus? Sushi Zo? The laundromat, the salon, the Vons? Has any impact study been conducted regarding how this project will affect those business? Have the owners of those businesses been given a voice? I hope you'll forgive me, but I find it hard to believe that a majority of your residents won't flood that place during the day, with some loitering outside those businesses.
6) Terraza will be very close to Castle Heights Elementary School. Literally, a five minute walk. Is Weingart screening for criminal background? Has the school been consulted about the project? Will new safety measures be needed? Children walk home from that school (a school I attended myself in the 1970s) every day. What measures are being put in place by Weingart to assure their safety?
I hope you can find a few moments to reply to my questions.
Simple enough, no? Even for a group of taxpayer-grifting barnyard animals.
On December 19, Boykin responded: “Mr. Cole: Exactly which publication are you with?”
I replied:
Dear Ms. Boykin,
As I said in my email, I’m first and foremost a resident of Beverlywood for 50 years. I’m also a journalist. I’m not writing to you on behalf of any news organization; I’m writing to you on my behalf. But I nevertheless feel it’s important to identify myself as a journalist, out of fairness to you. I asked some very simple questions. I’m not asking to view Weingart’s financials or anything like that. I’m asking the most simple questions possible (like, “there will be no formal curfew but residents won’t be allowed outside after 10pm” is contradictory, so which is it?).
If the response I receive from you, or from anyone at Weingart, merits an article, I’ll write it freelance and take it to a local news org.
For context, in 2000 the house next door to me was rented by squatters who raised and abused dogs to the point where they’d become antisocial and dangerous. My only goal was to protect my family from those dogs, so I handled the matter privately via our HOA and Animal Control. When neither could be moved to act, I was upset, of course, but as a journalist there was no story there. When the dogs escaped the squatters' yard and mauled a pregnant woman who was walking down the street, well now I had a story, something beyond my narrow self-interest, so I published it in the L.A. Times.
I hope I’m being clear. I’m writing to you as a Beverlywood resident. I’m asking simple questions. And I’d prefer that your response be on-the-record because if Weingart is indeed putting people in Cheviot/Beverlywood at risk, and if Weingart cannot answer the simplest of questions regarding Terraza, then I’ll certainly want to publicize the story, and I’ll want a record of everything all sides said because any decent editor will demand that. On the other hand, if my questions can be answered thoroughly and honestly, I’ll have no story to shop.
Let’s not make this more complex than it needs to be. I asked simple questions; I’d very much appreciate simple answers.
David
Boykin replied, “I would be happy to speak with you. Please let me know the best time to call you.”
My turn:
Dear Ms. Boykin,
Thank you for your reply. As I'm a journalist requesting on-the-record responses, I'd prefer to conduct this correspondence in writing. If that's something you'd prefer not to do, if it's a sticking point, then we can set up a time for a phone call, but with the understanding that it will be recorded. This would benefit us both, to ensure that there's no confusion regarding the accuracy of quotes.
David
Once I made it clear that the conversation would be on-the-record and recorded, I never heard from Boykin again, and she never again replied to my emails or phone calls.
That told me all I needed to know. Bass, Yaroslavsky, and Murray wouldn’t reply at all, and Boykin wouldn’t go on record. They know what’s coming once that shelter opens, and no way are they risking making any on-the-record promises about safety.
At that point I was leaning toward selling.
Then in March, when I experienced the worst rat-attack my house had ever experienced, I decided once-and-for-all to sell. The rats and the schizos. They dunnit, they made me move.
Come November, best case scenario for my former neighbors?
The schizos eat the rats. Then die of plague.
Speaking of plagues…
Being back in Beverly Hills for six weeks now and loving every second of it, a few weeks ago I had a firsthand experience in how black crime finds you, wherever you dwell.
Indeed, getting charged by blacks seems to be a theme of my homeless adventure. I wrote about the crazed “foundational black” who ran at me in Santa Monica last month, and now that I’m back in Beverly Hills, where the grocery stores have nothing locked behind glass, it happened again.
I was at Pavilions (a high-end version of our Vons chain, founded, I should say, by a Mexi) up the street from my hotel. About 9pm. And I’m looking at the frozen goodies when a tall, nappy-haired muthafucka comes runnin’ down the aisle at me.
Of course I averted my gaze as I sidestepped him, lest D’Quandrinious think I be “lookin’ at him hard.”
Don’t you be hard-lookin’ at D’Quandrinious!
Next thing I know, alarms are going off. D’Quandrinious had stolen several bottles of expensive booze. Shit, I hadn’t even noticed as he ran past me; I was so busy averting my gaze from the Holy Black Man, I wasn’t looking at what was in his hands.
The security guard (a middle-aged Mexi) and the checkout clerks (three Mexi women and one Asian man) were standing around waiting for the BHPD. Turns out this one black guy keeps coming to the store every few weeks, likely from miles away in Carson, to steal booze because he knows nothing’s kept under lock and key here.
This is something the proponents of “soft on crime” fail to admit. Criminal scumbags talk. They know where to hit. In 2014, when Newt Gingrich and George Soros (two evil-ass muthas…I’d take a thousand tiny brown cleaning ladies over those two demons) led the drive to decriminalize shoplifting, word spread.
Blacks may not be rocket scientists, but they do talk. Hell, they talk better than whites. Only Jews match their loquaciousness.
Then last year when every county in California voted to dump the Gingrich/Soros law and re-criminalize all theft and all shoplifting, it took LaQuisha and DeScoundrelous a few months to realize it.
You may have seen that video from seven months ago. Two shoplifting LaWeavelles in the back of a patrol car being like “it a FELONY now? It be a FELONY?”
Word of mouth. Takes time, but it spreads.
Sadly though, word also spreads about the civilized parts of town where nothing’s kept behind glass. And I waited with the security guard and cashiers to give my description of the thief to the BHPD, which arrived on the scene quickly.
“Tall thin black man, wild nappy hair but no facial hair, in his twenties.”
“How tall would you say, sir?”
Now that’s a loaded question to ask a man of 5’6”. EVERYONE looks tall to me. But my two best friends are 5’10”, and DeStealius Jackson looked taller than both of them. So the best I could say to the cop was, taller than 5’10”.
On the plus side, word has also spread in BH about loitering. After the BLM riots, blacks routinely took over the streets here, just to torment us. I recall summer 2020 walking down Rodeo Drive at around 8pm with Jared Taylor, his daughter, and Mark Weber, and a loitering kang threw a glass bottle on the sidewalk in front of us, just to show his dominance.
He had no idea who we were, of course. To him, we were just four whites who needed to know their place.
Well, I’ve been back six weeks now, and I haven’t seen one single loitering black, day or night. Indeed, DeRobbin DaLiqqer is the only black I’ve seen.
Again, word filters down. Beverly Hills is its own city with its own mayor and PD, but we, like everywhere else in the county, are at the mercy of the DA, which is a countywide position. So when Soros minion Gascon was DA, we suffered along with everybody else.
But now that tough-on-crime Hochman is DA, word has spread: bottle-tossing loitering kangz WILL be rounded up.
Obviously, there’s no way to stop the random thievery I witnessed from an outsider black at that grocery store. But by God, I hope and pray for the continued gentrification of the westside and beanification of the east that will, hopefully in my lifetime, reduce the “foundational black” population to complete insignificance.
Another thing the anti-immigration extremists fail to take into account: immigration doesn’t just provide L.A. County with friendly cooks and cleaning ladies; it displaces a cancer. In this case, sending it back to the South.
Good luck Atlanta.
And good luck Beverlywood in November.
See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya.
Alternate best case scenario: Rats eat the skitzos, Rats die from Hep B.
As the lone pseudo-monarchist here, I can confirm that my type often venture into abstract theory and history too much. My detachment from concrete politics is due either to the monarchism or the fact that I'm a bean. Aye, señor, I just want to mow the lawn, drink beer, and Make America The Spanish Empire Again. (Sarcasm, kind of.)
