@cd4losangeles We already close it every Sunday. So why not try something creative like a combination of higher frequency buses, a local network of bike lanes, and valet parking for those who reeeeally want to park.
I just went there last week and there was no parking. Induced demand!
@cd4losangeles Love the action and your run for major.
But doesn’t LA deserve better? Ventura Place is a cut through street. It would have been sooo much better as an open street for people (closed to traffic).
With Nithya’s urban planning background, this CAN’T be the best we can do 😕
Shiny new Bus Rapid Transit line in Guadalajara.
Of course the comments are all "they promised us a train!"
Yes, everyone everywhere was promised a train at some point!
But public budgets, technology options, and travel demand all keep changing.
Good leaders plan for now.
Our government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that melt human flesh to the bone. These bombs are targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. The U.S. must end its complicity in these war crimes, and pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.
If Elon becomes a trillionaire, I worry that that'll do to our perception of billionaires: will they stop seeming obscene to us by comparison?
Who talks about multi-millionaires anymore? About taxing them. About how maybe they shouldn't exist...
Invading a sovereign nation, slaughtering civilians, targeting medics, forcibly expelling people and demolishing their homes isn’t a “strategy,” it’s a list of war crimes.
This was HEARTBREAKING
Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel:
"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."
LOS ANGELES is building more transit than any city in America. 🚇🔥

The most car-famous city in America is quietly building one of the most ambitious transit expansions on the continent.
Great rundown by @UrbanizeLA

Same with the G-Line.
I regularly see fully loaded buses waiting for a handful of single occupancy cars.
The line that was hailed as "one of the best Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in the U.S." when it opened...

LA's metro system is screwed if it can't beat driving at rush hour going from station to station.
This kind of transit is doomed to only serve as welfare for poor people without cars.

In 1982, Israel bombed the Beirut airport.
The Lebanese were trapped as the IDF marched into Beirut, massacring thousands of civilians.
Hezbollah didn’t exist.
🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera confirms Israel bombed a Lebanese hospital for the THIRD time. The ICU is completely destroyed.
A mother desperately rushed to find her premature baby alive amidst the rubble. Washington is fully complicit in these war crimes!
White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.
In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.
Monsters.
Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre.
Israel is currently demolishing Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Israel just carried out another horrific massacre in South Lebanon.
Dropping massive bombs near Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre — wiping out 3 apartment blocks full of civilians.
People are still buried under the rubble.
This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.
