“Moments of genuine crisis require leaders willing to make tough choices. Cities that build housing do so because they declare it a top priority and align their institutions accordingly. Cities that hedge and delay quietly sabotage themselves” @jessezwick.bsky.social

Contributor: Los Angeles is sabotaging itself on housing
The city's chronic housing shortage is not for lack of technical capacity or earnest speeches but due to political leaders’ ambivalence toward a remedy.

Careful planning: on Eagle Rock Blvd., the city repaved an 1/8-mile length but split it into two unconnected patches to avoid triggering HLA and installing protected bike lanes. The patches stop just before the intersection to avoid triggering the ADA and installing updated curb ramps.

I wanted to show the human cost of the city stopping repaving. Here are two LA streets that show how far the city will go to avoid keeping us safe, one by negligence and one by careful planning.

Yes, the city needs to actually repave streets. Yes, the city needs to repair sidewalks. Yes, the city needs to install curb ramps.
But the bigger problem is that when LA decides to do anything at all to "help" pedestrians, the result looks like this complete and utter bullshit

I wrote something with @futureis about how LA has basically stopped maintaining its streets.
At this rate, the city is going to be one big pothole in a few years, and we’re going to spend more on settling lawsuits than fixing streets.

Our city is not only doing close to zero street maintenance, but they’re also slow walking Measure HLA implementation as a result.
Very sad state of affairs. This isn’t what the voters voted for.

City traffic engineers are evil geniuses.
At this point, everyone is on to their violent ideology and voters are ordering them to make streets safe when they re-pave.
But you know what traffic engineers are doing instead?
They're saying "Oh, we're not re-paving. We're just repairing."

Why has the City stopped repaving streets? Oren Hadar tells me it’s to avoid complying with HLA and Federal law.
