4th generation Angeleno. I really like MacArthur Park, palm trees, and organizing against gentrification.

@Karmir_Kovkas Edendale was a singular neighborhood concentrated Glendale boulevard/ Alessandro Street. What you’re asking for isn’t unfounded or without need, but Edendale would be a misnomer at best.

Real talk: Nithya’s “rise” is all about Karen Bass sucking ass.

Stop trying to make it sound like the DSA-LA electeds are doing something comparable to NYC. They’re all just average liberal democrats who care more about power than actually doing something.

Met this sweet flock of Egyptian geese (Alopochen aegyptiaca) just chilling today on the west side of MacArthur Park lake. A fence would spoil this landmark and cost so much, with no real reason why. City of LA: care for the park and invest in making it better, not locked up!

@HowlingRhodes @Leonz0_o None of those seats even had a Latino plurality then..

Thirty Explosive years in Los Angeles County.. what a book..!! John Anson Ford really outdid himself.

Chinatown's last mall Dynasty Center is owned by Red Car and eviction threatened. Activists CCED seem to have tapped APIAHP to seek LA landmarking protection. https://t.co/KXAWWKMKap

It's very unusual for a nomination to come from out-of-state preparers. https://t.co/zWqeYwyTXJ

Who told LA it was safe to paint the Bates Motel palm trees white for "Projection," Vincent Lamouroux's 2015 art installation? Dr. Don Hodel, of course! 11 years later, the parcel is a vacant lot, historic cottages and tourist rooms demolished for nothing. But the palms abide.

@Bill_Skanely @hearinladotcom Oh my my, we seem to have struck a nerve here.. ad hominem is such an icky look. Your mother is going to die in a car crash on December 3rd.. savor the time you have left with her..!

[marciel andrade lopez @the105freeway]

@Bill_Skanely @hearinladotcom You should get to know the city you want to augment before posturing as if you have an actual clue.

[marciel andrade lopez @the105freeway]

@Bill_Skanely @hearinladotcom Why are there several examples of 100+ year old Washingtonia palms across the city then? The row of palms which lie off Adams at the 110 tollway exit, and the famous 170 year old Filifera palm at Expo park? Would you not say that they have been exposed to an urban scape?

[marciel andrade lopez @the105freeway]

@Bill_Skanely @hearinladotcom I’d check your references. Washingtonia palms live longer than 100 years hoss..

Yimbys rarely admit this so openly. They've got money and they don't like poor people. Also "gentle density"? So why do they want to bulldoze most of San Francisco, which is denser than that?

@shroxxy @LaInaMinute If you really gave a damn about canopy coverage you’d equally call for the rezoning of many of the industrial areas which abut the very same communities you clearly know nothing about outside of grainy maps re: Lineage Fire, land use has an outsized impact on temperature..!

[marciel andrade lopez @the105freeway]

@shroxxy @LaInaMinute You and I both share this goal, strange for you to frame it as otherwise. As a resident and product of those disenfranchised communities, as someone who lives with no AC, I can tell you that it is not a question of one or the other, we can keep our palms and plant shade trees.

[marciel andrade lopez @the105freeway]

@shroxxy @LaInaMinute So it’s not about restorative justice? It’s instead more of an ad hoc argument for you to destroy anything you don’t like? Congratulations, you’re no better than the real estate boosters who planted the palms in the first place.
