LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. New York Jets Shonn Greene Jersey .:Authorities say 43 homes have been damaged and 540 are under evacuation orders in the aftermath of powerful mudslides in the foothills north of Los Angeles that were stripped by a summer wildfire. Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich said at a news conference Saturday that parts of La Canada Flintridge were devastated.

[Agencies] Antonovich said 12 homes had major damage and 31 had light or moderate damage. He says 25 vehicles were damaged. There have been no reported injuries. Antonovich blamed the destruction on the US Forest Service for what he called the agencys inaction last summer in dealing with the massive Station Fire that denuded hillsides that gave way Saturday. Some residents complained they were not told to get out until the brunt of the damage was done — unlike during heavy rains last month when officials repeatedly warned foothill communities to be on alert. Nobody knew it was going to be this bad, said Katherine Markgraf, whose mothers house was filled with more than two feet of mud, debris and tangled tree roots. Last time, they started warning us in time to prepare for it. The storms payload came between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Markgraf said she only got an alert around 10:30 a.m. Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Matt Levesque said forecasters and county and city officials did not anticipate the magnitude of the slow-moving storm. If we had known there would have been this much rain we would have evacuated, Levesque said. It was more rain than anyone thought, and more intense too. And it stalled there over the hillsides. Rainfall totals topped 4 inches in a 24 hour period in some areas, the National Weather Service said. Markgraf spoke to a reporter as she stood on Manistee Drive, a cul-de-sac under an overflowed debris basin at what appeared to be the epicenter of the storms damage. Her mother Pat Anderson, president of the La Canada chamber of commerce, who lives in the house, had to call a neighbor to help her escape the rising mud in the predawn darkness. Andersons car had been sucked out of its garage and shoved against her next door neighbors home. Crews working to the road said some houses had been shifted from their foundations by the weight of the deluge.

Authorities worked to clear the mud-choked streets and ordered some 500 homes evacuated because more heavy rain was expected on Saturday afternoon and the hillsides remained dangerously unstable.

[Agencies] PADANG, Indonesia: The death toll from Indonesias massive earthquake will likely double as officials on Saturday reached rural communities wiped out by landslides that buried more than 600 people under mountains of mud, most of them guests at a wedding celebration. China plans to restructure shanty towns in the country and clear up idle land to increase land supply, in the latest efforts to add more affordable housing for low-income families, government officials said yesterday. We are striving to finish the restructuring of shanty towns within five years, said Qi Ji, vice-minister of housing and urban-rural development. In some areas, this job will be finished within three years. The move is part of the governments real estate package to curb soaring property prices and crack down on speculation. On Sunday, the General Office of the State Council, Chinas Cabinet, listed 11 specific measures that would increase the supply of low-cost housing for low-income families, encourage reasonable home buying while restraining purchases for speculation and investment, and strengthening loan-risk management and market supervision for real estate projects.

Currently, there are more than 10 million families living in shanty towns in the country. To finnance this transformation, the Ministry of Finance will also offer a number of favorable policies, such as the exemption of land use fees, stamp tax and contract tax, according to Wang Baoan, assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Yu Xiaosu, vice-minister of land and resources, promised to let these parcels of land enter the market this month. By the end of 2009, property developers still have 200,000 hectares of land on hand, which should be enough for housing development in the next two to three years. And we also have 220,000 hectares of land reserves that could be used to increase the supply and rein in property prices, Yu said. These measures, according to Qin Xiaomei, chief researcher with Jones Lang LaSalle Beijing, will definitely help stabilize property prices. But I dont think the real estate prices in Beijing will drop this year because of robust demand, high land cost and improved infrastructure, said Qin. Nie Meisheng, director of China Real Estate Chamber of Commerce, held a similar view. The transaction volume may drop after those tightening policies, the price may remain firm as property developers have lots of cash on hand and they will probably take a wait-and-see attitude, said Nie.
