@KnightLAT Yes and yet they are correct that the flux admission cost for this new museum is bonkers pricey. Fingers crossed people bite for the bytes, tho. We need every bit of good news we can get down here.

[KarenBassProgressReport @KBassProgReport]

The smoke situation in LA right now is far worse than Karen Bass @KarenBassLA @MayorOfLA is letting on

Karen herself was on a taxpayer-funded Chicago trip when this happened—despite her pledge to travel only to NY or DC

Crisis after crisis, and Karen is nowhere to be found.

@Meowmamerica @LAFD It's awful here; must be way worse closer. Be safe, everyone.

@LAFD Smoke engulfing northern DTLA this AM. Is this from the Boyle Heights warehouse fire? Smells more like wildfire.

[lisa napoli @lisanapoli]

@labruja04 @LAFD Maybe the good folks at the @DTLA_RA can get some answers.

[lisa napoli @lisanapoli]

@labruja04 @LAFD @YsabelJuradoLA @MayorOfLA @LAFD someone, say something, please!

[🌮LA New Liberals 🌐 @LANewLiberals]

Can we quit denigrating DTLA and just focus on investing in it and kicking the bums out of office who are holding it back? It’s full of talent and potential - let’s focus on unleashing that.

@mnolangray That "survey" is ridiculous and the fact that it keeps getting cited is (further) proof we live in reductive, clickbait hell!

[lisa napoli @lisanapoli]

@AdamNMayer @CapitalGroup just bought their building in a fire sale. There've got to be other rich companies who get the promise here. Why some AI start-up doesn't swoop in and land on @TheParkDTLA confounds me, for instance. And what about the fallow, corrupt LA Grand Hotel?

[lisa napoli @lisanapoli]

@Cassy_Horton @poldectonteg And how many of the people who run them actually live here?

[Cassy Horton @Cassy_Horton]

@AdamNMayer @YsabelJuradoLA @cd14losangeles we really need your help right now. So much opportunity for the whole city. We can't afford to miss out on what the next 2 years can bring. It's going to take your leadership and it's going to take confronting the impact of open air drug markets.

[Cassy Horton @Cassy_Horton]

Downtown LA generates 30% of the city's tax revenue and has 30% of it's hotels. If you want LA to succeed, you should be rooting for Downtown. If there's any silver lining re the bad press, it's hopefully that it motivates our leaders to take DTLA recovery more seriously.

@Leslie_Ridings @LAtourism @MayorOfLA @cd14losangeles Answer: Proposing rules to allow people to open-carry booze. (Lousy idea.)

[lisa napoli @lisanapoli]

@Cassy_Horton @UCLA_Grad @chemdawgrei The survey "methodology" is bunk, as Cassy has already highlighted

[Stephen Wade @StephenWadeAP]

LA Olympics looking for 60,000 unpaid volunteers. By not paying, IOC saves estimated $100-$200 million. IOC income is about $12 billion. This feels like exploitation. IOC could pay but doesn’t. LA CEO Reynold Hoover gets $500,000. Everyone cashes in but most athletes and vols.

[lisa napoli @lisanapoli]

@KTLA Dumb clickbait "study." Come see @DatalandMuseum open this weekend!

[lisa napoli @lisanapoli]

@Cassy_Horton @offbeatorbit I had a very pleasant ride on the 4 bus today.

[Steven Sharp @EstebanCortante]

Since I've seen this article floating around a lot, just want to point out a couple of things about this survey. The Times notes that the survey reached 35,000 city residents...that's residents of 75 different cities, 74 of which are not Los Angeles.

[lisa napoli @lisanapoli]

@Cassy_Horton Just wait till they see my public art walking tour! ;) That'll fix it!
