@moseskagan @jessezwick If we fix the construction defect liability issue, couldn’t we see MF investors shift project to condos to completely sidestep rent control risks?

@rcmoya84 Wouldn’t it be better to have a politician who has the right instincts, who understands the problem and the solutions needed so that they do the right thing from the get-go? Political pressure can be bad as well as good.

@rcmoya84 It’s her attitude/mindset. Example: We had to fight her to avoid delaying the K Line extension over some ridiculous NIMBY "concerns" that had been repeatedly disproven in the past.

@rcmoya84 From @latimes “Comparing subway tunneling to redlining and racism and freeway screens through Black and brown communities is not the same thing,” said a resident of Glendale. “You know nothing about urban planning, and this is why you should not seek re-election.”

With @nithyavraman in line to make the mayoral runoff in Los Angeles, take a look at how she and NYC Mayor @ZohranKMamdani are attempting to end the left's civil war over housing — the most important affordability issue in both cities. https://t.co/xC3VrNCfNM

Something about LA just doesn't add up.

Cost to do curb ramps per corner:
Beverly Hills - $10,000
Caltrans - $15,000
City of LA - $50,000+

Why does basic infrastructure cost so much more in LA compared to surrounding cities or even our state transportation agency!?

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Richard Nixon's brutal truth on happiness that hits harder in 2026:

"The unhappiest people in the world are those in the watering places—south coast of France, Newport, Palm Springs, Palm Beach—parties every night, golf every afternoon, bridge, too much drinking, too much talking, too little thinking. Retired, no purpose."

He saw it decades ago: Endless leisure without struggle isn't paradise—it's a slow death of meaning.

"What makes life mean something is purpose, a goal, the battle, the struggle—even if you don't win it."

In an age of quiet quitting, early retirement dreams, and infinite scrolling... Nixon reminds us: The fight is what keeps the soul alive.

What keeps you in the "battle" right now—even when it's exhausting?

Is your city as cool as Minneapolis??

Minneapolis hosts an annual “Cat Tour.”

Neighbors put their cats in the window and crowds show up in droves to admire them and show respect.

It’s been going on for 8 years.

[Jonathan Edewards @jedewards]

@GustavoArellano @latimes Wow, that last sentence really ties it together. Great writing @GustavoArellano
