have you considered, uh.. not doing the measure m freeway projects in the first place?

[Charles Marohn @clmarohn]

Housing is an investment. And investment prices must go up.

Housing is shelter. When the price of shelter goes up, people experience distress.

Housing can’t be both a good investment and broadly affordable—yet we insist on both. This is the housing trap.

Escape on 4-23-24.

I am crushed and angry. After an inspiring 2-day huddle on walkability w/ @americawalks, I learned that two pedestrians died on @CityofCostaMesa streets incl. on a @CaltransOC road we know is dangerous & deadly. Pedestrian deaths are preventable, unacceptable, and must be ended.

More than ever, the state needs to step up now to support the LOSSAN rail line. https://t.co/wzwGwPiP6I

Concerned Citizens and Transit Advocates need to phone CA State Governor Gavin Newsom's Office and Demand State Emergency Funding to immediately start repairs to get the Amtrak and Metrolink tracks reopened ASAP with the same intensity as the recent downtown LA I-10 shutdown.

[Costa Mesa Jaywalker @JaywalkerCM]

It’s unbelievable that something so loved and harmless–the neighborhood cafe–is still illegal in most U.S. cities by default, and that the state needs to step in.

[OC for People-Oriented Places @OC4POP]

Freeway in LA falls apart, Governor @GavinNewsom flies down to SoCal, declares state of emergency, and gets it fast-tracked for repairs in a matter of weeks. Where is that leadership when it comes to the second busiest rail corridor in the country?

Amtrak and Metrolink service was suspended in Orange County Wednesday after a landslide in San Clemente sent boulders and falling debris onto the train tracks below. https://t.co/9PzMaxFLlO

@FlomamaFlo @GavinNewsom The State needs to take on a stronger role in this issue. We need help. @GavinNewsom @SupervisorFoley

Love to see it !

[Councilmember Kathleen Treseder @DrTreseder]

Last evening, the City Council unanimously voted to continue moving forward with Irvine's first open-streets event. Mr. Aaron Paaley with @CARSLA is the consultant on the planning of this event and brings invaluable expertise to the City of Irvine.

A letter calling for SoCal regional rail governance reform has been written by @RailPAC, @streetsforall and @calelectricrail. It says county agencies do not prioritize regional rail and defer to hyperlocal interests. They call for an independent agency to focus on regional rail.
