Subject: Page Mill Litigation -Attorney Client Priviledged Communication--
I received a call today from Chris Lund. Chris is a tenant in a 4-plex unit owned by Page Mill properties in East Palo Alto.
Chris stated that he ¡s a party named in a law suit and relayed the following:
ln mid-July a class action law suit was brought agaínst Page Mill propertíes claiming that Page Mill is using LLC ownershíp
structures for the purpose of circumventing rent control regulations in East Palo Alto.
The pro bono suit, represented by Heller Ehrman LLP, claims that Page Mill regislered each small rental property (4 unit or
less) in separate LLC structures in order to meet the "Mom and Pop" exclusion to rent control. They state that Page Mill is
a large owner of rental property in East Palo Alto and should not be considered a small operator for the purposes of rent
control. Page Mill has fìled a counter law suit stating that they are entitled to establish LLC ownership of property.
There is a larger case that the Stanford Gommunity Law Center (SCLC) plans to file in the near future. This suit will focus
on Page Mill's holdings of 5 units or more. SCLC will claim that under the rent control ordinance Page Mill is not allowed to
raise rents more than 3.2 percent annually. Page Mill has worked on a concept of "banking" prior year unused rent
increases to allow them to raise rents in excess of 3.2 percent annually. Chris noted that SCLC has determined that some
tenants in Page Mills rental units are CaIPERS system members.
Chris stated that Page Mill was using predatory practices. Page Mill's properties are the only affordable housing for
students and grad students in the area.
He has reviewed thal2007 lnvestment Report on line that notes that CaIPERS is an investor with Page Mill. They are
unable to determine who are the other investors in the fund.
Ghris stated that this Ís the starting point of their campaign, they intend to send letters to the head of CaIPERS
lnvestments and the Governors Office.
I thanked Chris for bringing the issues to our attention. I gave him my contact information and asked that he continue to
keep me informed as the issues progress. He said that he would do that, and that he would put his questions in an email
to Clark McKinely and l. I said that it might take us time to respond to his questions, but that we would get back to him
with our answers.
Chris is sophisticated and not overly adversarial. He stated that he appreciates CaIPERS progressive position on
responsible investment, that he is an investor and he understands that often times investors do not know the detail of what
investment partners are doing.
I placed a call to David Taran and Terry Lee, principals at Page Mill to discuss the issue. I have not heard back from them.
I will work closely with Javier once the public records act (email) comes in from Chris.
Javier and I are working on another public records act request from Andy Blue of Tenants Together, a tenant rights
organization Ín the San Francisco area. We are currently looking into our files to determine what, if anything, is disclosable
to Tenants Together ín our investment partnership with Page Mill.

refusing to produce the PPMs based upon the applicable Government Code Sections, including 6254,6254.7,

Laurie, Clark,
Thanks again for taking the time earlier today to address my questions regarding Page Mill Properties.
To summari ze, they include:
1) What is the current value of CaIPERS investment with Page Mill Properties?
2) Does Page Properties' attempt to exploit the mom and pop exemption in the East Palo Alto rent
Mill
confiol ordinance by dividing its holdings into sham LLCs constitute a violation of corporate good
governance as defined by CaIPERS?
"Section 5. APPLICABILITY
5.1 This Ordinance shall apply to all real property including mobile home parks, which are being rented
or are available for rent for residential use I whole or in part, except for the following:
A. l. Rental units, which are owed by landlords who olvn a maximum of four rental units in East Palo
Alto."
Page Mill Properties currently owns and operates roughly 1,500 units in East Palo Alto.
You can find a brief summary of the current situation and pending legal cases at
http://wwrv.paloaltodailynews.com/arlicle/20O8-7-27-epa-rent-petitions, As I mentioned on the phone, I
am a party to the class action suit being handled by Heller Ehrman. I have cc'ed Eric Oberle, a named
plaintiff in that suit, as well as David Taran, the CEO of Page Mill Properlies on this email.
It's my hope that, by bringing thése issues to the attention of relevant investors,Page Mill Properties can
be encouraged to adhere to the spirit of the rent control ordinance and act in good faith as a socially
responsible member of the community.
Kind regards,
Christopher Lund

Subjecfi California Apartment Association Legal Fund Takes on East Palo Alto Rent Control Ordinance
Laurie
Thanks for the call today. Here's an interesting development regarding advocacy for and enforcement
of the law and defense of property owner rights despite hostile actions by a vocal minority. We
understand that there are rnny other property owners and managers who are beginning to step
forward... not to mention existing and new tenants and other community members - the silent majority
- who are voting through their continued tenancy and new occupancies for the effort property owners
like us are making to improve previously blighted communities, properties and units, enhance
community safety and security, improve property life safety, and deliver more value at higher though
still attractive and below adjacent market rents.

Jeff,
Thank you and I did receive your phone message. As per your request, I will send you and Jim Shore a copy of
the PRA request later today.
Javier
Dear Javier:
Pursuant to Laurie and your request, the following is a brief summary of the litigation matters that you
discussed with Jim Shore yesterday. Of course, the following consists of privileged and confidential
inforrnation.
Before I discuss the particular litigation matters,I would like to provide abrief overview of Page Mill's
efforts in East Palo Alto. Prior to making any investment in EPA, Page Mill conducted significant due
diligence as to the appropriateness of an investment in a city which held the infamous title of the
"mutder capital" of the Unitèd States. As part of its due diligence, Page Mill made many inquiries of
EPA officials, to obtain an understanding of the City's Rent Control Ordinance and the maximum rent
that could be charged to the potential tenants. That infomration was important as Page Mill knew that it
would be necessary to recoup for its investors at least some of the significant funds that would be
required to beneficially change EPA's landscape. The City advised Page Mill that Page Mill could
charge tenants up to the maximum allowed by the certificates of maximum rent. Based significantly on
that information, Page Mill moved forward with its strategy to purchase multi-family housing West of
the 101. Page Mill then embarked upon a combined strategy to upgrade the lifestyles of EPA's residents,
especially with respect to health and safety, while at the same time to provide Page Mill's investors with
a good return on their investment-
Unfornrnately, as you know, after Page Mill began acquiring properties and began to implement the
strategy, the City tried to illegally change its Rent Ordinance contrary to State and local laws.
Consequently, Page Mill had no choice but to ask the Court to compel the City to comply with the state
and local law, and Page Mill has been successfril in that regard. My client does not seek to obtain any
benefits beyond those consistent with the City's lawful ordinances. In fact, I am hopeful that you are
Lware that Page Mill has already spent millions of dollars in providing security and upgrading the safety
and overall appearance in EPA. The positive impact upon our tenants and the residents of EPA is

enoÍnous. The area of EPA where the properties lie began as the police beat with the highest calls for
service. That same area now boasts the lowest calls for service. Alother example of a thoughtful social
strategy is that Page Mill has agreed to work with tenants who because of special circumstances are
unable to afford the rent increases that are allowed by the certificates of maximum rent. In response to
demonstrated need Page Mill has frozen or even reduced rents for many tenants.
W'e remain committed to working with our tenants and the City to find common ground and to see EPA
become a vibrant and economically diverse community and we remain committed to be the kind of
investrnent parbrer CaiPERS can be proud of.
To the extent you have any questions or need any fuither information about the litigation, please direct
those between yourself and me to, again, maintain the privileges and confidentiality required.
Page Mill Management et al v. City of East Palo Alto, et al, San Mateo Superior Court. The property
mânager and certain o\¡/ners filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate and complaint for declaratory relief
challenging the City of East Palo Alto's urgency ordinance which sought to unfairly and unlawfully limit
the rent increases for multi-family properties in East Palo Alto. The trial judge ruled in our favor and
agreed that the City did violate various State and local laws. Consequently, the Courtjnvalulalcelthg
City's urgency ordinance. The remaining portion of the case is scheduled to be tried in January 2009.
Woodland Park Management et al v. City of East Palo Alto. et al. San Mateo Superior Court. The
properfy manager and certain o\ilners filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate and complaint for declaratory
and i4junctive relief chatlenging a set of new rules adopted by East Palo Alto's Rent Stabilization
Board. The new rules, much like the previous urgency ordinance, would change key provisions in the
local ordinance and would authorize the City to roll back rents on multi-family properties in the City.
This case has been consolidated with the urgency ordinance case above and is scheduled for trial in
Januna 2009.
Woodland Park Management et al v. City of East Pa-lq Alto, et al, San Mateo Superior Court. This is an
action for Writ of Mandate directing the East Palo AIto Rent Board to accept applications for rent
certificates. Under the Rent Ordinance, these apptications were due by July 1, 2008, but the Rent Board
refused to accept the applications when they were submitted on June 30. The Rent Board refused to
accept the applications because it was in the process of again changing the rules after-the fact, this time
by raising the registration fees, but had not properly completed the process by June 30 and had not
performed its ministerial duty to send registration statements that included statements of fees due by
June 1 as required by the Rules and Regulations. The action was filed on July 9, 2008 and is set for a
hearing on the merits on August 29,2008.
Oberle et al v. Page Mill Properties. et al, Santa Clara County Superior Court. This is a class action
against Page MillProperties and 50limited liability companies (as well as David Taran) seeking a
declaration that all of the limited liability companies should be treated as a single o\Mner for purposes of
determining whether they qualify for the East Palo Alto Rent Ordinance's four-unit exemption (if a
landlord owns four or less units, the property is not subject to the Rent Ordinance). The complaint also
seeks damages for over-charges together with a statutory penalty of $500 per violation. The complaint

seelcs to impose personal liability on David Taran on the theory that the multiple LLCs are a sham. The
action was fìled on July 15, 2008 and has been served on all of the defendants except David Taran and
perhaps Jim Thompson. Responsive pleadings begin to be due on August 21,2008. This is, again, an
attempt by the City (through its allies at the Stanford legal aid office) of undoing its own express
provisions of its Rent Ordinance. As you can see, this is, at least partly, the miror image of the 1643
Woodland LLC action described below which seeks to confirm that the Rent Ordinance means what it
says, i.e., that if a landlord has four or less units, it is not covered by the Rent Ordinance. Here, there are
several properties that fall within this exception, and there is no basis to undermine the exception.
Procedurally, defendants intend to file a motion for change of venue from Santa Clara County to San
Mateo Counf¡r, which will likely be heard in mid to late September 2008. Thereafter, defendants intend
to file a motion to disqualify plaintiffs' counsel (Helter Ehrman) on the ground that they represented
David Taran with respect to a similar real estate investment and corporate structure in the late 1990s
where Heller recommended and set up multiple LLCs in the context of a proposed development deal. In
addition, defendants intend to file an anti-SLAPP motion challenging the complaint. That motion will
likely be filed by September 22 and should be heard in mid-October.
City of East Palo Alto v. Woodland Park Management. Page Mill Properties, LLC, et al, San Mateo
Superior Court. The City of East Palo Alto filed an action alleging that tenants have been charged more
than was allowed by the rent certificates and the rent was incrçased more than once in a calendar year,
This is related to the writ of mandate proceeding because the Rent Board has not issued new certificates
showing the increased rental amounts because it refused to accept the applications that wère submitted
on June 30. In addition, there is a dispute about whether the Rent Ordinance prohibits more than one
increase per year and whether such a limit is preempted by state law. The City filed the actjon on July
3I,2008. The Court sided with us by denying the City's request for a temporary restraining order on
July 31, 2008. The City's motion for preliminary injunction is set for hearing on August 29,2008.
1_643-.Wood1and-LL_@,SanMateoSuperiorCourt'Thisactionfordec1aratory
relief seeks a determination that the properfy owned by this LT,C is exempt from rent control and
regiskation requirements because the East Palo Alto Rent Control Ordinance exempts olryners that own
four or fewer units in East Palo Alto. The ruling in this case would affect approximately 50 other LLCs
that own four or fewer units. The complaint was filed on July 16, 2008. The defendants filed a demurrer
claiming failure to exhaust administrative remedies, which is set for hearing on September 19, 2008.
Defendants intend to either file an amended complaint or oppose the demurrer. Defendants expect to file
a motion for judgment on the pleadings or motion for summary judgment at an appropriate time, most
likely within the next 60 days. A judgment on the pleadings motion would be heard on 16 court days
notice. A summary judgment motion would be heard 75 days after it is filed'

31, 2008. The Court sided with us by denyins the City's request for a temporary restraining order on
July 31, 2008. The City's motion for preliminary injunction is set for hearing on August 29,2008.
1643 Woodland LLC v. City of East Palo Alto, San Mateo Superior Court. This action for declaratory
relief seeks a determination that the properfy owned by this LLC is exempt from rent control and
registration requirønents because the East Palo Alto Rent Control Ordinance exempts owners that own
four or fewer units in East Palo Alto. The ruling in this case would affect approximately 50 other LLCs
that own four or fewer units. The complaint v/as filed on July 16, 2008. The defendants filed a demurrer
claiming failure to exhaust administrative remedies, which is set for hearing on September 19, 2008.
Defendants intend to either file an amended complaint or oppose the demurrer. Defendants expect to file
a motion for judgment on the pleadings or motion for summary judgment at an appropriate tíme, most
likely within the next 60 days, A judgment on the pleadings motion would be heard on 16 court days
notice. A summary judgment motion would be heard 75 days after it is filed.

MEMO
To: Anne Stausboll
In2O06CaIPERS Real Estate entered into an investrnent partnership committing $100 million to
Page Mill Properties II, L.P. Page Mill has amassed almost 100 existing apartmant buildings in
gait Palo Alto aggregating over 1,800 units housing over 6,000 residents. Page Mill embarked
on a building rehabilitation progïam, including new roofs, seismic upgrades, and improvement to
common areas and landscape.
Page has come under harsh criticism for raising rents on tenants who are primarily low
Mill
income and working families. Community leaders have expressed fear that Page Mill's strategy
may include replacing some of the last available affordable housing with more expensive housing
stock.
All of Page Mill's properties are under East PaloAlto's Rent Stabilization Board which limits
frequency and size of rent increases. In response to concerns that Page Mill might increase rents,
the city proposed to restrict the ability of Page Mill to do so. (Allowable rent increases under the
rent stabilization ordinance is in dispute.) Page Mill reacted by increasing rents up to their
understanding of allowable rents the week before Christmas.
The City Council passed an urgency ordinance imposing a six-month retroactive rent frceze on
rent confolled apartments. Iniespãnse, Page n¿ili ¡lea a lawsuit in San Mateo County Superior
Court to force the city of East Palo Alto to rescind the urgency ordinance. The Court fou:d in
favor of Page Mill.
Staffhas conveyed sftong disapproval and disappointment to Page Mill for their recent actions.
Notably, staff has told Page Mill that the investment of CaIPERS fimds should not result in the
involuntary displacement of low income or work force households; or in adversarial legal action
against loial góvernment. Staff has meet with Page Mill to reiterate these concerns,
The Page Mill investment partnership is included in the urban programs stategic review that is
curently underway by consultants and Investment Office staff. Staff intends to present the
findings of this reyiew to the Investment Committee in the late summer. Staffwill make
recommendations at that time relative to which parbrers staff considers to be aligned long term
relationships, and the disposition of investnent partnerships that may no longer be aligned with,
and accretive to, the CaIPERS investrnent office.

Dear David,
This letter is written to relay CaIPERS' disappoinfinent and concern over recent events
that have occurred as a result of Page Mill Properties II investments.
As our understanding of the issue increased, it became apparent that this was a potentially
explosive issue with the ability to impact the success of the Page Mill investment
strategy. Page Mill's handling of the situation appears to have inflamed sentiments and
associated CaIPERS with the negative impression made by Page Mill at the community
and city council level.
'We
are disappointed and skongly disapprove your recent actions. Notably, the
investment of CaIPERS funds should not result in the involuntary displacement of low
income or work force households; or in adversarial legal action against local govemment.
We have contacted you several times requesting a meeting with you at our offices. To
date, you have not been responsive. It is critical that we continue to cornnunicate in an
open manner, It is our hope to work with you to assure the successful outcome of our
investment partnership.
Please don't hesitate to contact us to schedule the meeting and discuss this issue frrther.
Sincerely,
Laude Weir

PROPERTIES
August 2008
Through the end of the second quarter of 2008, we have made 96 total invesfrnents for
approiimatel y $257 million, consisting of income producing properties representing
t,igg u*ts in East Palo Alto, California. Our strategy, to assemble these properties at
aitractive prices and to facilitate and accelerate the City's economic redevelopment and
development initiatives, provides the Partnership rvith multiple value creation
opportunities.
This letter highlights the major invesbnent, financing, capital and management activities
of the Partnership during and through the second quarter of 2008. The letter should be
read i¡ conjunction with the accompanying unaudited balance sheet at June 30, 2008 as
well as thqunaudited statements of operations, changes in net (deficit) assets and cash
flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Investment Acfivitv
P\A-2029
density suburban infitl mid-rise residential, mixed use and commercial development and
redevelopment for rent and/or sale.
Capital.{ctivity
Capital commiünents to the Fund remain approximately $116.5 million as of the end of
June 2008. During the second quarter, we called 25o/o or $29 million of committed
capital. Proceeds from the capital call allowed us to pay down the subscription line in
full. Remainingproceeds were used to fund additional asset management activities, fund
expenses and operating requiroments as permitted under the terms of the Partnership
Agreement, Thè remaining capital commitment is cunently expected to be reserved for
potential future requirements associated with these investments,
Subscription Line
The Partnership's subscription line of credit with The Royal Bank of Scoiland was
reduced during the quarter frorn the previous $30 million to $9 million coincident with
the associated reduction in uncalled capital commitments referenced above which
collateralize the line. The facilily has been used to facilitate initial real estate investments,
provide flexible financing for initial asset management activities, pay ftind expenses and
provide for other operating requirements as allowable under the teffns of the Partnership
Àgreement, As aèquisitions arc stabilized, permanent properlyJevel financing and
capital calls will contribute to repayment of subsoription line financing. As of June 30,
2008, $0 million \ryas outstanding under the faoility'
The fair value adjustment required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, which was adopted effective January 1, 2008, has resulted in a $10 million
difference between the contractual obligation of the Mortgage Loan Payable and the
amount that would bc paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants based on market conditions as of June 30, 2008. Furthermore, a $3
million reclassification of the remaining unamortized defened financing costs as a
PM-2030
required offset to the debt balance has been recorded resulting in a net $7 million
unrealized gain.
As we have completed our acquisitions activities, we have continued to turn our attention
substantially towards completing our deferred maintenance and capital improvement
programs focused on safety, seismic retrofit, security, lighting, cleaning, landscaping,
coÍrmon area improvements, painting, unit improvements and repairs among others. We
have also been implementing and optimizing numerous property management and tenant
service programs, including leasing collections, information systems and reporting
improvement programs to improve the appearance, firnction and operations of our
investments over time. Coincident with the initial progress weove made across these
progrrrms, we have successfully irnplemented and collected initial rent increases during
the second quarter of 2008 across our properties to begin to bring undor matket rents up
towards market rates, We have also recentþ consolidated operations of our properties
into eleven communities of proximate logical properties, better aligning and streamlining
our property management resources and activities. At the same time, we have been
carefüly examining and reducing operating costs. We are pleäsed with our.progress in
improving our rental properties and in meeting and better serving the needs of our new
and existing residents.
Leqal Matters
Also, subsequent to quarter end, we filed and were named in litigation actions involving
the City of East Palo Alto and certain tenants seeking clarification and enforcement of
relevant rent control ordinances and regulations including related to raising rents. In the
first quarter of 2008, we received a judicial ruling in our favor allowing us to raise rents
as perrritted by the City of East Palo Alto's own certificates of maximum rents. We have
followed a thoughtful legal stategy that we believe complies with the letter and intent of
the relevant ordinances and regulations and will continue to do so.
PM-2031
In addition, during and subsequent to quarter end we have received interest in our
properties from several prospective strategic corporate tenants, redevelopment partners
ãnd potential acquirers fãr sóme or potentially all of our properties. We believe these
various expressións of interest represent encouraging validation of the potential of our
properties and investnents. We have retained advisors to heþ us explore these
opportunities.

Hi David,
I am very concerned that the current PageMill investment strategy may result in the involuntary displacement of
low income households. ll is important for me to undersland the issues in detail leading up to, and the necessity
for, the rent increases. I need to understand the accommodations that PageMill has in place for tenants at risk of
displacement due to rent increases.
Please provide the PageMill/Centrix strategy going fonvard for addressing this issue, particularly in lighl of the
possible inclusion of PERS in lhe next volley of press activity.

rental housing in the greater PaLo Alto area is to be found in this narrow space.
PMP's acquisitions started around the Four Seasons complex and spread from there- At
present, they have,purchased ower L500 uniEs in East Palo A1to, which makes Èhem by far
Lh. l"tg"=t landlorã in the city. They have sunk almost half a billion dollars of investor
money iñto their purchases, and the prices they have paid to acquire these properEies
gt"aÈIy outstrip ihe kind" of rental incomes they can earn from them. On the face of it,
this sãems quite strange, because the city has a fairly strong Rent Stabilization
Ordinance--passed b1r the voters, irrevocable by the city council, that stands in Ehe way
of drastic rent increases or redeveÌopment of properties for purposes other than rental
housing.
Initially, PMP stated that they would be a law abiding citizen intent on improving
the housing sLock in the neighborhood. This has turned ouL to be quite unLrue' Last
December they began to show everyone their actuaf motives, issuing rent increases to some
L3OO units, in open defiance of the city's Rent Stabilization Ordj.nance. The increases
ranged from 9? to 43år , and represent a serious hardship for many of the peopfe facing
them--not to say an eviction by other means. Many people are on fixed income and quite
vulnerable, but Page Mi1I has evicted them anyh/ay, while cynically pretending that the law
doesn't apply to them. This is ctearly contrary to the l-ocal ordinance.
1
PM-2091
The affair \rrith the rent increases has followed a complicated and unfortunate
course. It is too compLicated to expfain at. length here, but'effectively PMP made use of a
situation of demoraliãation and undèrstaffing in the rent office to seize upon aaset of
outdated and inapplicabl-e Itcertificates of mãximum legal rent'r in order to make series
of contradictory änd bizarre cLaims abouÈ the nature of the certificates ' It has
exacerbated this by coordinating its increases to occur all at once, which has had theof
effect of overwhefming the CityTs resources and of intimidating tenants with a sense
inewitability. trlany pãople hawã just moved away in the face of pay-now-or-be-evicted
threats from their landlord.
The city has reeponded poorly to this challenge. 'fhe city council and the rent board
are united. in oppositiðn to Èñe rent increases, but the ciÈy attorney quit in November,
and they trave 1ãèked the organization, the courage, and (most imporÈant1y) the legal
counsel- to respond effectivé1y. Unable Èo free themsel-ves of this 1aw, Page MilL has
decided to start a thousand fires against it, daring the city to bankrupt itself on lega1
defense of a 1aw protecting its pool people. On Page Mi11's side: a fancy public relaEions
firm, and a team ãf lawyerã headèd up by a specialist in overturning municipal ordinances
ana úusting unions -- Oã East Palo A]to's siãe: a few parÈ-time wolunteers straggling in
from Stanford law, and some community activists.
The stories told by the many people facing rent increases are heartbreaking, and we
are very concerned by cIèar patternã oi tenant harassment--ranging from false notices of
-ittegat unit
eviction for unpaid ient to searches. (rn our complex alone, four out of the
eight units havé received false notíces of eviction in the last few months. r hardly need
to add Èhat it is a terrifying thing for most tenantÊ to receive such a notice.)
BuÈ our concern is not simply hrith the plight of individual- tenants. We are
convinced that pMp does not want tð be a landlord at all, but is t.rying to circumventand or
overturn the rent stabilization ordinance in order to kick people out of their homes
redewelop the land for commercial purposes. Iilothing less than a wast redewelopment project
woufd iuËtify the scale of PMP's investment. Moreover, because of PMP's highly l-everaged
and fiåanciaify vulnerable position, we bel-ieve that they wil-1 act quickJ-y and.ruthlessly
in. the next months to overturn the ordínance and remake the tandscape of the city the standard
according to Ëheir plans. Some of this they could do J.egal1y if they foll-owedivtill
procedurã for redeväfopment, which involveÈ buying out the tenants; but eage prefers
Lo intimidate people or force them out by other means--it is cheaper.
Our personaf experience wj-th Page MiII has given us a window into how they plan to
do this, Last summer we discovered thãt our fandlord (which was not Page Mi1l atcompel the time)
was evading the Rent StabilizaÈion ordinance, and we embarked on a campaign to
i"gistratiãn of his units. Because of the disorganization and demoralization in the Rent
eoãrd Office, this was not an easy thing to do. Eventually, we caught him, however--
ironically, the fact Ehat he was trying to selL the units Eo Page Mill allowed us to
corner him- vùith the help of the Rent goard, the city council, Lhe City Attorney, andhis a
pro-bono volunteer from stanford law, we forced him to regíster in order to complete
äafe. He paid g19o,0oO in fees and penalties to the cíty, rolled back our illegal rent
increases-, and signed a lega1 agreement with us that he woutd regieter the units years ' (Thie
was a slap on the wrist, .ãmparãd with what he shoul-d hawe paid for over twenty of
wiflfut evasion of the Law and handsome profits from doing so.)
Curiously, while our ofd landlord paid up.to the city, he did not register the
units. Insteadl he delayed signing the agreement with us until after the saIe. Thereafter,
page MilL has refused tã regiãter the .l.tlt=. They separately íncorporated each unit as an
LLó (in Delaware!), and are claj-ming a "sma11 ovlnet'l exemption from the Rent Stabilization
1
P\Ã-2092
Ordinance. Theyrve created a large number of these I'mom and pop" LLCS.
We no\¡/ believe that Page MilI's strategy is to use the separate incorporations to
circumvent the Ordinance by ãelIing the separate units to themselves for condo-ization'
Once condo-ized, the lseparaÈe ownèrs" wili get together and vote for demolition. This is
obviously an inappropriate business practice: moreover, is aLmost certainly ilJ-egal.
corporation s¡ruãLurès may legitimately be used to avoíd some taxes, but they may noE be
,.r""ã to evade civic dutieã. Wè are looking into legal resources for contesting the IrIrCs in

lrle befieve that CalPers should investigate Page MilI's practices very seriously, for
bot,h humanitarian and financial reasons:
Fj-nancÍal: obviously, any highly leveraged reaL estate company is a risky investment
in the current market, We befieve that PMP might be an especialfy poor investment - PMP
representÊ itself as a large company, but when you look at them closeIy, you realize thaL
thãy are nothing but a couple of frat boys sitting oh a vast pile of debt, just trying to
see what they can get av¡ay wit.h. Page Mi1I has waged a huge bet t,hat the ciÈy is too
d.isorganized and incompetent, to protect iEseff and its citizens. But if we are right and
the city can prevail against these ilIegaI tactics, Page Míll will be sÈuck wiÈh a stock
of modeãtly pèrforming rental properties they bought at a premium based on the idea that
they could-out*.n"uver the 1aw. Holding investments in Page Mi11 would not, under this
scenario, be a good thing for investors such as CalPers.
As we lrrap up this email, we shouJ-d warn you about one thing: because PMP has a
publíc reLations firm working at high heat, most of the media coverage has been heavily
Lorqued toward their perspective (they like to insinuate that everyone else is
incompetent). Most media accounts are simply werbatim reprintings of PMP's press releases.
So take what you find on google with a grain of salt !

Dear David,
This letter is written to relay CaIPERS' disappointment and concem over recent events
that have occurred as a result of Page Mill Properties II invesftnents.
As our understanding of the issue increased, it became apparent that this'ù/as a potentially
explosive issue with the ability to impact the success of the Page Mill investment
strategy. Page Mill's handling of the situation appears to have inflamed sentiments and
associated CaIPERS with the negative impression made by Page Mill at the community
and city council level.
'We
are disappointed and strongly disapprove your recent actions. Notably, the
investment of CaIPERS fi¡nds should not result in the involuntary displacement of low
income or work force households; or in adversarial legal action against local government-
We have contacted you several times requesting a meeting with you at our offices. To
date, you have not been responsive. It is critical that we continue to communicate in an
open manner. It is our hope to work with you to assure the successful outcome of our
investment partnership.
Please don't hesitate to contact us to schedule the meeting and discuss this issue further.

Hi Anne - Rob wants to respond to this concern and would like information on this investment ASAP. Thank you.
Page Mill Propertíes is a private equity investment fund, and Calpers appears to be one of its biggest investors. Until very
recently, their website described Page Mill Properties as specializing in commercial real estate. So it was with great misgiving that
people in East Palo Alto watched them, starting about 1B months ago, start buying up large swathes of rental housing in East Palo
Alto, From the very beginning, observers were suspicious that PMP was intent on some other goal than providing rental managemenl
servíces for the working people living in these units.
The area in which PMP is acquiring land is the "west side" - the nanow strip of E. Palo Alto bat extends west of Highway
101 . This is the area that used to be known for "whiskey gulch," and which now features the 4 Seasons Hotel and a big law complex.
The rest of the ''west side" remains modest: it houses a very large number of apaftment complexes along with some single family
units. A fairly large portion of the affordable rental housing in the greater Palo Alto area is to be found in this narrow space.
PMP's acquisitions started around the Four Seasons complex and spread from there. At present, they have purchased over
1500 units in East Palo Alto, which makes them by far the largest landlord in the city. They have sunk almost half a billion dollars of
investor money into their purchases, and the prices they have paid to acquire these properties greatly outstrip the kinds of rental
incomes they can eam from them. On the face of it, this seems quite strange, because the city has a fairly strong Rent Stabilization
Ordinance-passed by the voters, inevocable by the cily council, that stands in the way of drastic rent increases or redevelopment of
properties for purposes other than rental housing.
PM-2103
lnitially, PMP stated that they would be a law abiding citizen intent on improving the housing stock in the neighborhood. This
has turned out to be quite untrue. Last December they began to show everyone their actual motives, issuing rent increases to some
1300 units, in open defiance of the city's Rent Stabilization Ordinance. The increases ranged from 9% lo 43%, and represent a
serious hardship for many of the people facing them-not to say an eviction by other means, Many people are on fìxed income and
quite vulnerable, but Page Mill has evicted them anyway, while cynically pretending that the law doesn't apply to them. Ïhis is clearly
contrary to the local ordinance.
The affair with the rent increases has followed a complicated and unfortunate course. lt is too complicated to explain at length
here, but effectively PMP made use of a situation of demoralization and understafflng in the rent office to seize upon a set of outdated
and inapplicable "certif¡cates of maximum legal rent" in orderto make a series of contradictory and bizarre claims about the nature of
the certificates. has exacerbated this by coordinating its increases to occur all at once, which has had the effect of overwhelming the
lt
City's resources and of intimidating tenants with a sense of inevitability. Many people have just moved away in lhe face of pay-now-or-
be-evicted threats from their landlord.
The cig has responded poorly to this challenge. The city council and the rent board are united in opposition to the rent
increases, but the city attomey quit in November, and they have lacked the organization, the courage, and (most importantly) the legal
counsel to respond effeclively. Unable to free themselves of this law, Page Mill has decided to start a lhousand fires against it, daring
the city to bankrupt itself on legal defense of a law protecting its poor people. On Page Mill's side: a fancy public relations firm, and a
team of lawyers headed up by a specialist in overturning municipal ordinances and busting unions - On East Palo Alto's side: a few
part{ime volunteers straggling in from Stanford law, and some community activists,
The stories told by the many people facing rent increases are heartbreaking, and we are very concerned by clear patterns of
tenant harassment--ranging from false notices of eviction for unpaid rent to illegal unit searches, (ln our complex alone, four out of the
eight units have received false notices of eviction in the last few months. I hardly need to add that it is a terrifying thing for most
tenants to receive such a notice.)
But our concern is not simply with the plight of individual tenants. We are convinced that PMP does not want to be a landlord
at all, but is trying to circumvent or overturn the rent stabilization ordinance in order to kick people out of their homes and redevelop
the land for commercíal purposes. Nothing less than a vast redevelopment project would justify the scale of PMP's investment.
Moreover, because of PMP's highly leveraged and financially vulnerable position, we believe that they will act quickly and ruthlessly in
the next months to overturn the ordinance and remake the landscape of the city according to their plans. Some of this they could do
legally if they followed the standard procedure for redevelopment, which involves buying out the tenants; but Page Mill prefers to
intimidate people or force them out by other means-it is cheaper.
Our personal experience with Page Mill has given us a window into how they plan to do this. Last summer we discovered that
our landlord (which was not Page Mill at the time) was evading the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, and we embarked on a campaign to
