The California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) has just released their 2021 Fair Housing and Equity legislative package that will fight for fair housing and equity issues. This is part of an initiative created by C.A.R. called Californians Need Housing Now that seeks to work with the Legislature to pass laws that address the housing affordability and availability crisis through increase housing supply and fair housing reforms. “REALTORS® are on the front lines fighting to overcome California’s housing supply and affordability crisis, which includes ensuring fair housing opportunities for all people,” said C.A.R. President Dave Walsh. “This CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® legislative package is a critical first step in what must be an ongoing effort to eliminate discrimination and other barriers that have historically prevented so many families from realizing the economic and societal benefits that housing provides.” The package of bills includes AB 491, a bill that would eliminate the “Poor Door” feature seen in many multifamily properties. The “Poor Door” is a separate entrance, often times on a different side of the building from the main entry, for the occupants of the affordable units. The bill would ensure that multifamily properties provide occupants of affordable units the same access to common entrances, common areas and amenities that are provided to the occupants of market rate units and do not isolate the affordable units to one specific floor or area. Another bill, SB 263, would amend the educational requirements for real estate licensees to include implicit bias training and an update to the fair housing component that would provide for an “interactive participatory component that allows a licensee to experience role play situations as both a consumer and a professional licensee”. Additionally, C.A.R. is co-sponsoring SCA 2, a state constitutional amendment that would repeal Article 34 of the California Constitution requiring that any development consisting of “low rent” (affordable) housing that is financed in whole or in part by any federal, state or local government be approved by a vote of the people in the jurisdiction where the project is located. If repealed, this could go a long way towards creating more affordable housing in communities that have traditionally excluded them through voter efforts. This would be a strike against the activists who fight against increasing the supply of housing in California.

Your Handyman

Legislators are Discussing Many Proposed New HOA Laws – Here are Sacramento’s Good Ideas

Patching Plaster Cracks

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL

By Mark Baird In typical years the Legislature considers a handful of bills concerning HOAs, but 2021 is an unusually heavy year. There are at least 20 bills pending that reference or directly affect common interest developments. Many are technical, but a handful of bills propose to make significant changes (some good, and some bad) to California associations. This column addresses five bills in which their current form would help HOAs, and next week’s will cover some unhelpful proposals. Senate Bill (“SB”) 392 is sponsored by the California Association of Realtors and authored by Senators Archuleta and Hueso. It would help HOAs by amending Civil Code Section 4040(a) so that starting in 2023 HOAs could use email as the default method of sending documents or notices to members. Members could still opt for postal mail, but most presumably would accept electronic mail, thereby saving association time, resources, and cost. The bill also would require HOAs of over 49 members to have websites providing general information to members unless two third of the members voted otherwise. Assembly Bill (“AB”) 502 by Assembly Member Davies, would modify Civil Code Section 5100 to allow HOAs of any size to forego sending out ballots if at the end of the nominations period the number of eligible candidates matched the number of open seats. In that situation, the bill would allow the HOA to declare the nominees elected to the open seats, saving the HOA the money and time of an election, which is a foregone conclusion. Presently, for reasons this writer does not understand, the current Civil Code Section 5100(a) allows only HOAs of 6,000+ members to use this very sensible approach to uncontested elections. The current draft bill has some overlap

Question: We live in a home in San Roque that was built in the 1930’s and all the inside walls and ceilings are finished with lathe and plaster. There are several doorways inside the house that have unsightly cracks in the walls over the doors. I have tried several times to patch these cracks using spackle and even fiberglass mesh drywall tape, but the cracks just come back in a year or two. What can be done to permanently patch these cracks?

between Civil Code Sections 5100 and 5105, but hopefully that will be cleaned up in the committee process. AB 1101 is authored by Assembly Member Irwin and is sponsored by the Community Associations Institute. The bill would simplify and clear up some important terminology problems regarding the HOA banking and insurance requirements found in Civil Code Sections 5502, 5806, and 5380. The bill would also simplify the board’s oversight of expenditures from the current “$10,000 or 5% of the HOA’s deposits total” to simply $10,000 or greater. SB 432’s author is Senator Wieckowski, also the author of 2019’s SB 323, the election reforms in law that took effect in 2020. SB 323 narrowed HOA board candidate eligibility standards to five possible requirements and omitted term limits, a common eligibility factor. This bill would correct that omission by creating a new Civil Code Section 5100(g)(3)(B)(v), allowing HOAs to disqualify candidates who have served the maximum consecutive or total allowed terms. So, HOAs may next year again be allowed to have board term limits. SB 391, authored by Senator Min, would add a new Civil Code 5450(a) allowing HOAs during times of declared emergency to hold meetings entirely by telephone or video conferences. As an urgency statute, if it passes, it would become law immediately upon the approval of the Governor. Our state legislators have come up with five good legislative ideas for HOAs this year – review these bills, compliment their authors at www.leginfo.legislature.ca.gov, and consider asking your own representatives to support these helpful proposals.

Your HandYMan: The problem that you are experiencing is quite common in older homes and is usually caused by what is technically called differential settling. Most homes that were built pre-depression have a perimeter wall style foundation with a raised wood floor instead of the cement slab foundations that new homes are usually supported by. These older perimeter wall foundations tend to shift a very small amount as the soil heaves up in the winter when it is saturated with rain, and then drops a tiny amount as the soil dries and cracks in the summer months. This minor movement in the foundation causes stress throughout the structure of the home and much like an earthquake fault, the cracks in your plaster wall are release points for this stress. Permanently patching such a crack is often not easy and, in my opinion, the best option is to fill the crack with a flexible latex caulking that will allow a little movement. Filling the crack with a brittle filler like caulk or drywall compound will eventually crack again as the house continues to shift. Drywall is not as brittle as plaster and may be the only permanent way to deal with the cracks but matching the texture of the drywall to look the same as the plaster is probably past the limits of a homeowner project and you may need an experienced drywall contractor. A layer of drywall correctly screwed down over the old, cracked plaster ceiling or walls is commonly done in older homes.

A good base is a must-have. If you only have room for one set of dishes, make them white, because they allow you to create a million different looks on your table.

The Joy of Dining: A Spring Table at My Cottage Phots courtesy Mary Carol Garrity/TNS

By Mary Carol Garrity As the flowers poke out of the ground, and the leaves bud on the trees, another force of nature comes back alive: my desire to entertain. In the winter months, Dan and I don’t have folks over as much, preferring to cocoon when we’re home. But one of my rites of spring is dressing my table and sending out invites, welcoming friends back to our cottage. It was a quiet day at the cottage, so I pulled out all my must-have tools for setting a great table, many of which are brand-new pieces. Then, I went into my table-setting zone and pulled together a lovely spring arrangement, perfect for a Sunday brunch or casual dinner with great friends. So what are my must-haves? First, a good base. One of my favorite tricks is to use a 60inch square tablecloth, turned on the diagonal, placed at the center of the table. I think full-sized tablecloths are a waste. They are ex-

pensive, hard to launder and difficult to iron. The small squares give you the same lovely textile base, with none of the headaches. This tablecloth is all cotton, hand-blocked print, and is perfect for spring and summer. We also have a great group of hand-blocked print napkins right now that are as beautiful as they are fun. If you only have room for one set of dishes, make them white, because they allow you to create a million different looks on your table. If you have space for a second set? Majolica. I lost my heart to a unique Victorian era pattern years ago. When I’m setting a table at my cottage, I can’t seem to not use majolica, somehow, somewhere, on the table. I like to mix the stemware on my tables. Often, I will find a colored glass that brings out a hue in the dishes or napkins, like cobalt blue, amber or amethyst. If the table is neutral, I might stay with clear glasses, but they won’t be a matched set. When it comes to the flatware, I’m a fan

of bringing in something a bit different and fun. I love bamboo-handled pieces for spring and summer. If you look closely, you can probably tell the napkins on this table are really kitchen towels. Often when I set a casual table, I will use towels because I love their generous size, how easy they are to launder and how they look on the table. And, best yet, when they become too dingy for the table, I relegate them to the kitchen, where they get to work. What’s left? The little details that make a table special. Fresh flowers. Candles. Place cards to mark each guest’s spot, and let them know you are excited to have them with you. This column was adapted from Mary Carol Garrity’s blog at www.nellhills.com.

Pops of red serve as the perfect spring accent in this oversized kitchen. Photos courtesy Design Recipes

Use these colors for an invigorating spring home By Cathy Hobbs

Tribune News Service

A piece of art dominated with chartreuse adds an element of spring to this entry area.

Although it may not feel like it in some parts of the country, spring is officially here. The transition to spring not only signals the start of warmer temperatures, but also an opportunity to infuse fresh, invigorating colors into the home. While some colors may automatically come to mind when you think of spring, other colors may surprise you. Looking for interesting colors to use this spring? Here are some of our top spring color tips.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS REAL ESTATE

USE RED Red is one of the most versatile colors. In nature, found anywhere from flowers to birds, red is an ideal color to signal the return of spring. CONSIDER USING A COMBINATION OF CITRUS COLORS When looking for interesting spring colors to pair, you won’t go wrong with yellow and green. DON’T BE AFRAID TO USE TINTS, TONES AND SHADES OF GREEN Green is a very clean color and combined tints, tones and shades in a single space can feel crisp and fresh.

SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 2021

Orange- and yellow-based tones work well to perk up this kitchen.

USE SPRING COLORS IN UNEXPECTED AREAS OF THE HOME SUCH AS KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS Often these spaces are ignored and may even need more attention. GO BEYOND FLOWERS While flowers are a wonderful way to include elements of spring, accessories and artwork can go a long way in telling a spring color story. THINK CHARTREUSE Chartreuse is one of those colors that is always on trend. Chartreuse can be paired with dark sophisticated colors like charcoal gray, brown or black. Chartreuse can also be used alone or paired with lighter colors to create a lighter look. ADD A NEW, AFFORDABLE DECOR ELEMENT SUCH AS LIGHTING OR TOSS PILLOWS Tired of your same look? Why not add a new table or floor lamp or toss pillows to your space? These are some

low-cost decor options that will help to refresh your space. Paint. Walls don’t have to be white. Whether an accent wall or overall color, painting is a quick, affordable and instant way to add color to your space. Greenery. Whether trees or plants, greenery can also help to bring an element of spring into the home. Orange. Orange is one of the more popular colors in home decor. It’s not only a warm and happy color, but it also blends well with other colors including those suitable for spring because most shades have strong yellow undertones.

Multiple spring elements such as a yellow painted walls, pops of green and use of greenery helps to convey a fresh look.

Bleeding Heart is Ideal Native Perennial for Shade in Dry Gardens

Up close the heart-shaped flowers show why they were beloved heirlooms. Photos courtesy Maureen Gilmer/TNS

By Maureen Gilmer They crouched at the toe of a north-facing cliff, all hearts and flowers in a mass of pink. It flew by so fast I was unable to look closely, so I parked and hiked back to the rock face. Fine land slide material had built up over many years in one spot, just inches at the toe. In this well-drained, relatively infertile mineral soil grew the Pacific bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa). It was my first view of the plants in habitat, a very curious place for an understory perennial to grow. The plant was large, so it had been growing there a long time. The species, like many herbaceous California perennials, dies back with late summer drought, then flourishes again with the rains. That means it liked it right there, and if we create similar conditions with northerly exposures and rapid drainage, the species becomes an ideal native perennial for shade in the dry colorful garden. It also dies back in time for wildfire season in the West.

E14

The bleeding heart I knew in horticulture is native to China, where it was taken from the mountains and planted in gardens early on. It did not come west until Robert Fortune gathered one from a mandarin’s garden around 1850, and sent it to Kew. The Victorian rage for anything sentimental made the heart-shaped flowers wildly popular in gardens. Naturally this was shared in America, where division made them easy to multiply. Since then it has become a beloved plant, with sentimentally shaped flowers appealing to just about everyone. The long sprays of dangling magenta hearts on thin wands are charming as they bob and sway in the breeze, although it’s not a wind-tolerant plant. It is, however, the best choice for spring beauty around large shade trees where ferns and sedges thrive. The results of European breeding have resulted in superior varieties. The long-time garden favorite is the variety ‘Luxuriant,’ which is a big beautiful plant widely used by the landscape industry. That means it’s

proven to not have terminal problems in the future. The Dutch have been breeding Dicentras for some time now, seeking hybrid variations in the plants to start a new named form. Many are the results of crossing Dicentra spectabilis (Zone 3) with Dicentra formosa. Others are the result of crossing their offspring. This intensifies the genes that hail from two different continents separated by the Pacific. It is also remarkable that both species evolved separately to become so similar. This makes it possible for the dominant drought-resistant genes of the native to be more easily transferred on to the next hybrid generation. The roadside plant in alluvial deposits is not typical for Dicentras. They live in a woodland environment where there is a porous duff layer on top of the soil. Feeder roots grow active with the first winter rains in California, drawing nutrition from decomposition at the soil surface. In gardens, create a similar condition with mulch for surface rooting and water conservation.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS REAL ESTATE

Use bleeding heart as a problem solver. Bring color to barren side yard views along with very early bulbs. Plant them around your coast redwoods to share their natural duff. It’s traditional in China to plant bleeding hearts in conjunction with rock work, perhaps because they are found in the wild in such associations. In times of drought, consider growing native Dicentra formosa for a beautiful plant that thrives during the rainy season, then dies back to the ground for heat of fall. Nothing is better protected during wildfire season than roots insulated by earth. The species may be difficult to find, but it’s worth the hunt. You’ll agree when such delicate beauty jumps out of winter with hearts and flowers to announce the arrival of a drier than average spring.
