I can agree with the usually car-brained LA times on this one

[clara the urbanist @SlopHq]

$965 a month to own the average new car and nobody blinks. a transit agency raises the fare a quarter and it's a crisis hearing with angry public comment. we audit the bus to the penny and hand the car a blank check. interesting which one we call subsidized

this would be great right now

Per Reddit, there are new departure boards at Los Angeles’ Union Station.

I’d love these at all Amtrak and Metrolink stations in the county.

Problem isn’t $12 lattes or $10 smoothies.

It’s $60,000 salaries in $3,000-3,500-rent cities.

Rich people don't die if you tax them.

Poor people do die when you cut welfare and healthcare.

no comment, just 2 facts.

[limonadier rei :-) @chemdawgrei]

population density ≠ housing density

much of that LA population density comes from household overcrowding in areas w/ relatively low housing densities

In a perfect world Nithya's campaign would kick into high gear, lead a bike bus at Ciclavia, a late-night taco stand and explain how it makes the street safer, ride around with Angelyne, go to Santee Alley, Leimert Park drum circle on a Sunday, go to the Abbott Elementary set etc

[limonadier rei :-) @chemdawgrei]

ADUs are really changing the feel of LA’s residential neighborhoods

front yard & porch cultures are slowly but surely developing, less household crowding now that multigenerational families can build multiple units, new & more neighbors from rentals, more ppl walking around

LAPD causes more problems and commits more crimes than it solves

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

You voted for him knowing he was going to make life harder for other people. You just never thought it would be you. Your selfishness got us here.

[California YIMBY @cayimby]

LA deliberately cut its housing capacity from ~10M to ~4M homes through single-family zoning. It hit that cap in the 1990s, then added 5x more jobs than homes 2010–2015.

The result is one of the world's least affordable cities.

Y'all don't hear how this is just incel speak but in gay?

[jezz @JezziiB]

I will never understand how so many of y'all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money YOU PAY IN TAXES to create a social safety net that benefits YOU.

metro REALLY needs to invest in nighttime and weekend service

[Bussit baby @bussit_bbLA]

I love downtown LA and this tracks

[clara the urbanist @SlopHq]

a bus every 6-7 minutes is the entire secret of good transit. no schedule, no app, you just show up. the kids have been screaming the answer at us for over a year. six seveeen. headways. they're talking about headways
