No, this is not legal. Holden gives the address of some ( slum ) building 
that he owns as his official address, but in reality he lives outside of the 
city, in Marina del Rey. Holden is the closest thing LA knows to a 
race-baiter a la Marion Barry or Coleman Young ( along with Diane 
Watson and Rita Walters ) , who claims a white conspiracy against him 
responsible for his frequent accusations of sexual harrassment, but he 
lives in a decidedly nin-black area. He claims that his own constituents 
would threaten him - but if he did not represent them poorly, there would 
be no anger. Holden should be prosecuted, but the city attorney's office 
refuses to prosecute Holden no doubt because of the potential for ". racial 
unrest ". The  April 1992 Rodney King riots have led to a widespread fear 
of any whites taking on black interests, -

this would be a good idea The CA law should be repealed on this matter - 
obviously Beverly Hills ,Santa Monica , Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, etc. 
could not require oficers to live in those cities, nor many of the cities in 
Marin County, but if passed in LA it would be an excellent idea that would 
go a long way towards preventing another riot. 
 but there is no good reason to enforce this as there is

More sadly, it has become the norm - SM
