Most feature grand staircases, closets bigger than studio apartments and kitchens more suited to a restaurant than serving a family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strength of the market seems to have surprised even Toll Brothers executives, \u003ca href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/3922186-toll-brothers-tol-douglas-c-yearley-jr-q1-2016-results-earnings-call-transcript?part=single\">who boasted in a conference call with investors last year\u003c/a> that the company didn’t have to offer discounts after the leak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have made no downward adjustments in our pricing,\" said Toll Brothers CEO Douglas C. Yearley Jr. \"It should absolutely be business as usual with typical Southern California pricing power and great action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Forgotten Leak\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Longtime Porter Ranch real estate agent Ken Sampson says these days he rarely gets questions about the well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A year ago it was on everyone’s mind,\" he said. \"Maybe one out of 15 asks about it today. It was a shock to all of us that the facility was even there, but I believe as a whole the public in general doesn’t really pay attention to it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are still lots of current Porter Ranch residents who are paying very close attention to the situation, and some of them moved away from the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laurie Carrigan is one of those who relocated; last month she moved her three dogs and six kids to a house farther away from the gas field. Carrigan says her family was still getting sick despite the ruptured well having been capped so long ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People that actually have experienced the grief and the doctor’s appointments and the constant rashes and nosebleeds are not willing to buy a house in Porter Ranch,\" said Carrigan. \"They’re willing to get as far away as possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s not selling her old house yet because her home value has been slower to recover, something analysts say is common with houses closer to Aliso Canyon. That in turn leads to higher average sales prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do see fewer sales the closer you get to the actual gas leak, but because those sales aren’t happening they’re not affecting the prices,\" said Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, home sales are up 18 percent in Porter Ranch over the past year, according to RealtyTrac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People are buying houses again,\" said Carrigan, who is a real estate agent. But because she doesn’t want others to go through what she has, she recently found herself in the strange position of steering a client away from buying in the Toll Brothers development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I told them, 'Don't buy until you know for sure. You have two small kids. Don't do it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said it’s tough to convince clients to stay away because they're hearing from Toll Brothers that everything is fixed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it’s fixed you assume it’s OK,\" said Carrigan, who added that besides unanswered questions about what caused the blowout, \"there are still elevated spikes\" of natural gas emanating from Aliso Canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'The Most Regulated Facility in the Entire Country'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Toll Brothers’ Frank Su acknowledges he still has concerns about the storage field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The gas leak was not great, and we still have concerns about the future and safeness of the facility,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toll Brothers agents emphasize to perspective buyers the level of regulatory oversight at Aliso Canyon, said Su.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We tell them the leak has been capped, the facility has been there for 50-plus years and it's probably the most regulated facility in the entire country. We feel like it’s going to be very safe in the future,\" said Su, adding that for most potential buyers, \"that’s enough for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su said he wouldn’t be recommending Porter Ranch if he didn’t happily live there with his family for the past three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were here during the leak and my kids weren’t affected,\" said Su. \"Porter Ranch is still a great place. It’s not a horrible place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also the rare place in Los Angeles where there are top schools, low crime rates and the ability to customize a home with a view from the ground up -- pluses that outweigh risks for many with the means to purchase a home here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A jury convicted former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca Wednesday of obstruction of justice, conspiracy and lying, bringing an end to a years-long corruption scandal that stained the reputation of the nation's largest sheriff's department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decades after he first put on a sheriff's deputy star, Baca, 74, now faces up to 20 years in prison for directing deputies in 2011 to hide an informant from FBI agents who were investigating the abuse of inmates in the county jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As the former leader of one of the largest municipal law enforcement agencies in this nation, Lee Baca knew what was right and what was wrong,\" Acting U.S. Attorney Sandra Brown said at a late afternoon press conference. \"And he made a decision. That decision was to commit a crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said the investigation ultimately changed the department, leading to a monitor for the jails and a fundamental change in the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A popular and progressive lawman, Baca had been elected as sheriff four times and served in the department for nearly 50 years before stepping down in 2014 as prosecutions against his deputies mounted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I appreciate the jury system, however I disagree with this particular verdict,\" Baca said in a short statement to reporters Wednesday afternoon in which he thanked his wife and friends for supporting him through the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You’ve known me for a long time,\" he added wistfully. \"I am a faith-based person. My mentality is always optimistic and I look forward to winning on appeal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca's defense attorneys argued that subordinates kept the sheriff out of the loop and that any action he took was intended to safeguard his jails from a shoddy FBI probe. They were not allowed to bring up a defense they had sought: that Baca is suffering from early Alzheimer's and that rather than lying to investigators, he simply didn't remember.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The jury is only as good as the evidence it gets to consider,\" said Baca defense attorney Nathan Hochman. \"Here, the jury did not get to consider all the evidence, but the appellate court will.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/03/2017-03-16c-tcr.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/LeeBaca-800x551.jpg\" Title=\"Ex-L.A.

Federal prosecutors decided to pursue another trial, hoping a second shot would bring a conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, jurors heard testimony over the course of nine days in a downtown federal courtroom with Baca appearing in court each day, but not taking the stand in his own defense. Baca's former assistant sheriff, Cecil Rhambo, testified he warned Baca not to mess with the FBI's investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought it was getting a little bit outrageous, quite frankly,\" Rhambo said. \"I couldn't physically grab him by his jacket\" to shake sense into him, he told the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the trial Wednesday, the jury foreman spoke to reporters but would not give his name. He said he found Rhambo's testimony particularly important. The foreman said he voted for Baca when he ran for sheriff, but was convinced Baca committed a crime to “protect his empire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We were following the directions of the sheriff.

Two sheriff’s sergeants later approached an FBI agent at her house and threatened to arrest her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, federal prosecutors have filed a slew of indictments, working their way up to the top of the department. Among those convicted is Baca’s former number two, Undersheriff Paul Tanaka.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s undisputed that Baca had contact with people involved in the scheme at various points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the central questions throughout his trials were how much Baca knew of plans to keep the informant from the FBI and to threaten the FBI agent, whether those acts impeded the grand jury investigation, and whether Baca intended them as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors called several of Baca’s former employees, including those who have already been implicated in the scheme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were following the directions of the sheriff,” former sheriff’s captain Tom Carey said during sworn testimony. “He was the engine of the train … it’s like he cut us loose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In retrospect, Carey told the jury “our moves, our tactics” were “obstruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During closing arguments, defense attorney Hochman said Carey, who’d already pleaded guilty to perjury, had a “believability problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government has a “basket of goodies” to offer witnesses such as Carey, Hochman said, including reduced charges, lowered fines and lighter sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hochman said, from Baca’s eyes, obstruction “was not one of the goals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inmate’s cellphone, Hochman said, raised safety issues in the jail to which Baca “had to act immediately.” Hochman said Baca’s goal was to “get to the bottom of the investigation” and keep the inmate safe from possible retaliation from others for being a \"snitch\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said Baca’s investigation into the cellphone was a “sham” used to cloak the conspirators’ goal of obstruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the FBI's investigation turned to Baca himself, federal prosecutor Elizabeth Rhodes said the former sheriff lied during a 2013 interview with federal investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca told them he had \"no clue this was a civil rights investigation\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said Baca knowingly made false statements \"to divert the government's attention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca was 71 years old at the time, Hochman said, and asked jurors how they would do if asked to review a conversation, a week ago, a month ago or a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Federal prosecutors decided to pursue another trial, hoping a second shot would bring a conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, jurors heard testimony over the course of nine days in a downtown federal courtroom with Baca appearing in court each day, but not taking the stand in his own defense. Baca's former assistant sheriff, Cecil Rhambo, testified he warned Baca not to mess with the FBI's investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought it was getting a little bit outrageous, quite frankly,\" Rhambo said. \"I couldn't physically grab him by his jacket\" to shake sense into him, he told the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the trial Wednesday, the jury foreman spoke to reporters but would not give his name. He said he found Rhambo's testimony particularly important. The foreman said he voted for Baca when he ran for sheriff, but was convinced Baca committed a crime to “protect his empire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We were following the directions of the sheriff.

It's like he cut us loose.'\u003ccite>Tom Carey, former sheriff's captain\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Baca's charges stem from a corruption scandal that emerged as the FBI was quietly investigating deputy brutality against inmates at Men’s Central Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputies in the jail discovered the federal investigation in the summer of 2011 when they found an inmate's cellphone and learned he was working as an FBI informant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Department employees then hid the informant from federal investigators and failed to deliver him to a grand jury investigating claims of brutality. Two sheriff’s sergeants later approached an FBI agent at her house and threatened to arrest her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, federal prosecutors have filed a slew of indictments, working their way up to the top of the department. Among those convicted is Baca’s former number two, Undersheriff Paul Tanaka.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s undisputed that Baca had contact with people involved in the scheme at various points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the central questions throughout his trials were how much Baca knew of plans to keep the informant from the FBI and to threaten the FBI agent, whether those acts impeded the grand jury investigation, and whether Baca intended them as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors called several of Baca’s former employees, including those who have already been implicated in the scheme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were following the directions of the sheriff,” former sheriff’s captain Tom Carey said during sworn testimony. “He was the engine of the train … it’s like he cut us loose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In retrospect, Carey told the jury “our moves, our tactics” were “obstruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During closing arguments, defense attorney Hochman said Carey, who’d already pleaded guilty to perjury, had a “believability problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government has a “basket of goodies” to offer witnesses such as Carey, Hochman said, including reduced charges, lowered fines and lighter sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hochman said, from Baca’s eyes, obstruction “was not one of the goals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inmate’s cellphone, Hochman said, raised safety issues in the jail to which Baca “had to act immediately.” Hochman said Baca’s goal was to “get to the bottom of the investigation” and keep the inmate safe from possible retaliation from others for being a \"snitch\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said Baca’s investigation into the cellphone was a “sham” used to cloak the conspirators’ goal of obstruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the FBI's investigation turned to Baca himself, federal prosecutor Elizabeth Rhodes said the former sheriff lied during a 2013 interview with federal investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca told them he had \"no clue this was a civil rights investigation\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said Baca knowingly made false statements \"to divert the government's attention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Shortly after taking office, the president signed an executive order targeting any immigrants living in the country illegally as priorities for deportation, particularly those with outstanding deportation orders, the Associated Press reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order also listed as priorities convicted criminals, those arrested for any criminal offense, those who committed fraud and anyone who may have committed a crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/federal-agents-conduct-sweeping-immigration-enforcement-raids-in-at-least-6-states/2017/02/10/4b9f443a-efc8-11e6-b4ff-ac2cf509efe5_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_iceraids-420pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.9e88419226b5\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Post reported Friday\u003c/a> that authorities launched a \"series of raids, traffic stops and checkpoints\" in about six states Thursday and Friday, citing attorneys and immigrant advocates as sources for the reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the AP it is unclear if the latest actions are tied to Trump's order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, some Los Angeles immigration attorneys and advocates said 100 people were arrested in a day and detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown L.A. -- a figure that ICE dismissed as grossly exaggerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reports fed fears running high in the Los Angeles area that immigration agents are stepping up attempts to find and deport immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angelica Salas with CHIRLA, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, said she’s heard too many reports of arrests for the current situation to be business as usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know what the pattern is around coordinated mass activity. And this is what coordinated mass activity looks like, where you have family members, attorneys, different people reporting this activity to us,” said Salas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salas said on a typical day, her group may receive just a couple of arrest reports, sometimes none, but that number has picked up this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials said of those arrested in Southern California this week, 150 had some kind of criminal record, 75 percent of them with felony convictions and the rest with misdemeanor convictions. Of those who did not have records, five had final deportation orders or had been previously deported. The others were described as living in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those picked up, according to CHIRLA, was a Van Nuys man named Manuel Mosqueda, who had a prior deportation order but did not have a criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the CHIRLA office Friday morning, his daughter Marlene Mosqueda described getting a phone call from her father’s fiancée after he was arrested at his home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was crying, and she was telling me that they came in, they wanted to ask questions,” she said. “The moment that he came out, they told him sit there, you stay there ... from there, they just asked for everybody’s identification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and CHIRLA staff said they believe agents came to the home looking for someone else, but ended up questioning the occupants, “and they ended up taking my dad,” Mosqueda said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father remains detained. Attorneys intervened on his behalf to stay his deportation and take his case before an immigration judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials have conducted periodic sweeps in recent years as local jurisdictions and some states -- including California -- have dialed back cooperation with federal immigration agents, refusing to hold immigrants who can otherwise be released. ICE has deployed “fugitive operations” teams to track down people who are released from local jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin complained that recent legislation that prevents local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with ICE on immigration enforcement has made his agency's job more difficult. But he denied that ICE targeted any so-called sanctuary cites for their \"failure to cooperate with us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One similarly large operation by ICE in August 2015 under the Obama administration led to more than 240 arrests in Southern California over a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a change in attitude, said CHIRLA staff attorney Karla Navarrete. She said Friday that when she went to a downtown holding facility Thursday to file paperwork on behalf of someone who was arrested, an officer there told her “things have changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the difference is that we are in a different era,” Navarrette said. “That it’s been clear that there is a goal to deport 8 million people.” That is a reference to President Trump's pledge to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants, which by one estimate \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-deportations-20170204-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">by the Los Angeles Times\u003c/a> could reach up to 8 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In comparison, more than 2 million people were deported during Obama's administration, according to the Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And this is what coordinated mass activity looks like, where you have family members, attorneys, different people reporting this activity to us,” said Salas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salas said on a typical day, her group may receive just a couple of arrest reports, sometimes none, but that number has picked up this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials said of those arrested in Southern California this week, 150 had some kind of criminal record, 75 percent of them with felony convictions and the rest with misdemeanor convictions. Of those who did not have records, five had final deportation orders or had been previously deported. The others were described as living in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those picked up, according to CHIRLA, was a Van Nuys man named Manuel Mosqueda, who had a prior deportation order but did not have a criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the CHIRLA office Friday morning, his daughter Marlene Mosqueda described getting a phone call from her father’s fiancée after he was arrested at his home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was crying, and she was telling me that they came in, they wanted to ask questions,” she said. “The moment that he came out, they told him sit there, you stay there ... from there, they just asked for everybody’s identification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and CHIRLA staff said they believe agents came to the home looking for someone else, but ended up questioning the occupants, “and they ended up taking my dad,” Mosqueda said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father remains detained. Attorneys intervened on his behalf to stay his deportation and take his case before an immigration judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials have conducted periodic sweeps in recent years as local jurisdictions and some states -- including California -- have dialed back cooperation with federal immigration agents, refusing to hold immigrants who can otherwise be released. ICE has deployed “fugitive operations” teams to track down people who are released from local jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin complained that recent legislation that prevents local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with ICE on immigration enforcement has made his agency's job more difficult. But he denied that ICE targeted any so-called sanctuary cites for their \"failure to cooperate with us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One similarly large operation by ICE in August 2015 under the Obama administration led to more than 240 arrests in Southern California over a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a change in attitude, said CHIRLA staff attorney Karla Navarrete. She said Friday that when she went to a downtown holding facility Thursday to file paperwork on behalf of someone who was arrested, an officer there told her “things have changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the difference is that we are in a different era,” Navarrette said. “That it’s been clear that there is a goal to deport 8 million people.” That is a reference to President Trump's pledge to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants, which by one estimate \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-deportations-20170204-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">by the Los Angeles Times\u003c/a> could reach up to 8 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In comparison, more than 2 million people were deported during Obama's administration, according to the Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
