Honestly, I’m not really sure since I haven’t lived in a rent-controlled apartment myself. But my understanding is that apartment buildings built/occupied before 1979, are forbidden by the city from raising their rents more than 5% in a 1-yr period. BUT the owner can sell whenever and if they do sell, new developers…

No idea. Not even sure how they would because it’s not illegal in CA for a private business owner to redevelop his property and price former tenants out. I obviously think tenants should be protected from this kind of bullshit but I don’t think there’s anything they can do, legally. But I don’t really know.

I am 100% onboard with this. As someone who had to be bussed into a better school district (by a program meant to help desegregate in the 90s, I shit you not), I loathe and detest the current system. It’s horrible and it’s not working and rich people will seriously fight tooth and nail to keep it this way around here.

Yeah, I do too. I walk my dog past there, actually. And in comparison to East San Jose, which would have comparable housing, yes it absolutely is a good neighborhood. The area does have low income housing but it also has pretty nice homes and a fantastic elementary school only a few blocks away.

Just FYI, this is really close (within walking distance) to Santana Row, which is essentially a strip mall for the very, very rich. There’s a potential to make a lot of money there, but first gotta get those pesky poors out of the way. The apartments are in a good neighborhood with a solid school district. My guess…

I actually suck at it too! It’s how I came across these, I have to put so much effort into making my lips look even and good in bright lipstick that I want it to at least last me two days. Is it lazy? Yes. Does it work? Also yes.

I haven’t tried Jeffree Star (because of the racism thing) but I have tried KVD and OCC and Sephora’s own brand. The least drying (for me) has been Sephora but that one has also been the one to come off fastest. Beauty Bakerie is not great on dry lips (which I tend to have) but here’s what I do to prep: few drops of…

I am a bit of a makeup horder and, in case anyone is looking, Beauty Bakerie is a black-owned business with GORGEOUS lip colors that won’t even come off with soap.

I actually had to stop reading Gawker sites (including Jez) when it was still early in the primaries. It was ridiculous. Would be nice if they would at least acknowledge it.

Yeah, nobody really cares. Now Trump and Carson, those are people I want to see debate Hillary or Bernie and their respective running mates.

I would definitely wear as lingerie, don’t even have to take it off for sexytime! Maybe not for $36 but as someone with very small boobs, I could rock this without worrying about the lack of support.

I do not understand the appeal of Ariana Grande, she seems like a huge asshole. I’m not going to say she can’t sing, b/c she clearly can but her music is kind of mediocre.

Hey there, used to be a commenter on old Jez (from 2006) but then I left b/c I got pissed off and now this article brought me back (dammit)...
