Evidently, the California Coastal Commission is doing an event with Our Neighborhood Voices in Redondo Beach.

There’s a couple in Loma Linda

Insta-blocked by Larry Gross, CADEM regional director for SFV in LA, for gently reminding him that his opinion is overwhelmingly at massive odds with his own party on SB 79. If these are the unsophisticated primitive NIMBYs that Newsom is listening to, he probably has no business running for POTUS.

This is the values debate right here.

I have said “Contrarianism without strong values always leads to the right.”

That’s true for pundits generally.
What this interview shows is Coates‘ values.
And Klein’s lack of strong values.

Los Angeles city-county consolidation yesterday (minus the antelope valley they can go do their own thing)

A former expressway. Now a place for an evening stroll. Nighttime on the Cheonggyecheon River in Seoul.

"No planning, no consideration, no nothing. It’s not anything that I’ve ever seen in my life before."

It's been 7 mos since my coworkers and I were interrogated, insulted, and ultimately fired by DOGE. But I still can't quite believe how senseless it was.

300,000 people have left the government

*banjo picking and sporadic musket fire* dearest martha, the horrors of war-torn portland cannot even be described

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

One smart, cheap, urban response to global warming: shade canopies. Seville, Spain

In the US, even a “cheap” transit bus costs 2-3x more than in Asia or Europe -- and one agency may pay twice as much as another for nearly identical vehicles.

In Bloomberg, I explored a ripe opportunity to improve transportation by applying Abundance-coded, supply-side reforms.

It’s an interesting coincidence how the last name of the NYC DOT Commissioner who transformed mobility there is the same as the first and last name of the London Mayor who is doing the same in London.

This past weekend Londoners got a glimpse of the future of Oxford Street as it went traffic-free for the day.

Here’s what they thought ⬇️

After 4 years of med school, countless high-stakes exams, thousands of patients cared for, and dozens of essay drafts, we submitted our applications for residency last night.

While I’m overthinking every last word I wrote, I’m trusting I will find my place. Now the interview trail begins!

I’m literally not exaggerating one bit. It’s the truth.

Our local council of governments has a consultant who makes AI presentations on climate change doom & gloom and then turns around and calls bike lanes elitist. It’s terrible.

Oh look, a brand new Climate Action Plan going to Novato (CA) city council tomorrow.

88% of transportation and land use reductions to be accomplished through electric cars. Everything else is peanuts.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

Spoke to an older dude on the pier who was driving one of these, which he tricked out as a compact fishing vehicle.

“Lee, 39, is one of L.A.’s most prolific builders of new apartments, especially in Koreatown, where her family firm has been based since 1994…She’s frustrated that Los Angeles falls woefully short every year at building enough housing to meet demand, driving up the cost of housing.”

This is incredible and I love it for two reasons… first it’s funny that it was left to San Bernardino County, of all places, to make the argument for level boarding, and second, SBCTA didn’t even ask for an exemption, they just told CPUC they were going to do it bc federal regulations preempt state.

A Line is really sort of a hybrid now - stop spacing and speeds east of Pasadena are more like commuter/regional rail. Sort of like Seoul Line 1. We badly need to speed up the Washington Blvd - Union Station section to make it useful…

Meanwhile if you want a real dream for the Metrolink SB Line…

RSVP to join us on the bus to @metrolosangeles.bsky.social to support the C (K) Line Extension to Torrance at the (most likely) October Board Meeting. See you there! #SouthBayOnBoard
