Culver City just made history, and it has something to do with these big boxy fortress style apartment buildings ….

I've watched many videos about how staircase requirements prevent us from building three-flats that historically brought gentle density to places like Chicago and San Francisco. Exciting to see my city doing something about it!

Bubba 🐠 @bubbathefish.bsky.social · Sep 8

The rent is too damn high! Not building huge hallways in apartment complexes can help.

Single stair reform is coming to Culver City Council TONIGHT!

Our campaign wouldn’t have a shot if our elections had not been consolidated with the general. Holding elections in off years keeps turnout low and maintains the status quo

Taniel @taniel.bsky.social · Sep 5

this fall, New York City voters are deciding a ballot measure that could turbocharge turnout in future municipal elections

i wrote about it, and just how much it's transformed local turnout in other cities

To Boost Turnout, Ballot Measure Proposes Moving New York City Elections to Even Years - Bolts

When cities hold their local elections on off years, they tend to see terrible turnout. Many are rescheduling their contests when many more people go to the polls. Will New York be next?

On the Westside, we feel this housing crisis every day.

Which is why I’m proud that Culver City, West Hollywood, and Santa Monica have all endorsed SB-79 to allow for more homes near transit, where they’re needed most.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

have the people who thought Cuomo would win because "I stand with Israel" was the top issue for NYC Dem primary voters considered that maybe they are trapped in an information bubble by getting their news through a social media platform that isn't representative of reality?

Inspiring to watch a Muslim progressive win in the most Jewish city in the country.

We’re so much bigger than the big money PACs that try so hard to pit us against each other.

Today some cowards in face masks harassed and detained innocent people while they were at work.

This is shameless, disgusting racism and LA won't stand for it.

We will always stand up for our immigrant neighbors.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Apr 22

The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Son Arrives After ICE Refuses to Let Him Attend Birth

Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

You can draw a straight line from Donald Shoup’s effective way of sharing his scholarship with the public to policy changes in hundreds of cities.

Culver City eliminated mandatory parking by a 3-2 vote in 2022.

A redline showing the old parking mandates versus Culver City’s amended parking regulation: “there shall be no minimum required parking for any use, except as may be determined through a Comprehensive Plan.” Almost everything else is repealed.

RIP professor and author Donald Shoup who showed us the heavy toll we all pay when we build communities around cars instead of people. He lived to see parking minimums be abolished in much of our cities thanks to @repfriedmanca.bsky.social and Shoup’s decades of research at UCLA.
