Apartment Developers In LA Are Slashing Costs By Getting Rid Of Parking. laist.com/news/housing-h…
Good news for LA: their light rail system has jumped San Diego to have the highest ridership in the nation, following a 30% year-over-year increase from the opening of the Regional Connector

At DTLA Regional Connector stations “Metro widened streets that were supposed to be narrowed or left the same width. On Wilshire, city plans mandate the street should be narrowed and the sidewalks widened. But…Metro is restoring prior roadway widths.” la.streetsblog.org/2024/01/25/at-…
@schneider @LAPDChiefMoore This shows how uphill the battle for safe streets really is, when police are stolid defenders of the status quo, which in this case is "privilege of drivers over rights of non-car people". It's also why design changes and automated systems are needed, not police discernment.
bus drivers that wait 1-2 min until the train arrives before taking off 🙏🙏tyvm

In a similar vein, Atlanta replaced Union Station with a parking deck. That's how batsh*t crazy we went for cars in America. And that's how dire the need is to put a laser focus on retrofitting truly great urbanism into cities whenever we can.

In addition to the vast space required to move and facilitate cars, this commercial also highlights the social isolation of car centricity. The best case you make for meeting and mixing is the traffic cop. Is this moving us closer to experiencing and understanding each other?

If the rest of the world cycled as much as the Dutch, "it would slash 686 million metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution a year... roughly equivalent to erasing one-fifth of CO2 emissions from passenger cars globally in 2015." theverge.com/2022/8/19/2331… Via @justcalma
I have a super important story to tell y'all. My city, Atlanta (@CityofAtlanta), is trying hard to make money off locking up its own residents—$50 per day for each new person locked up. Here’s what's happening:
Thanks to the @GaRepublicans "guns everywhere" agenda, Georgia is #1 in "states that contributed the most guns linked to crimes in other states". 5,904 GA guns were recovered at crime scenes in other states in 2020. wsj.com/articles/gun-t…
