The Coastal Commision makes it quite difficult to build new housing along the coast in Santa Monica and often works against local goals such as making our Downtown less auto-centric and more pedestrian friendly. We agree that serious reform is needed. @BenAllenCA @RickChavezZbur

A lot of public support persists as well. And once the project is done - and 1,000+ new residents join our community - there will be even more people who will be glad these homes were built.

We wish @santamonicacity took these bike lane violations more seriously. We spend millions of dollars of new bike infrastructure but then don't bother to ensure that cyclists can reliably use it.

Mississippi has significantly higher rates of drug use, mental illness, unemployment, and poverty than California. But homelessness there is a whopping 10x lower, because at the end of the day homelessness comes down to whether someone can afford to pay the rent.

Santa Monica's Housing Element is WORKING! Since early June, 1,210 new units have been proposed. All enabled with our new zoning. This is a huge deal - about 3x more than we produced PER YEAR over the last 8 years. Our housing crisis was a policy choice. Now we're fixing it.
Tomorrow! Join us at Santa Monica Brew Works at 6pm for our monthly Happy Hour. We’ll talk about bike lanes and housing and beer and enjoy the 75F perfect weather outdoors. See you there!
If you search google for “YIMBY,” the first sponsored result is a hit piece from an organization called Housing is a Human Right, which is part of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF). AHF is also a slumlord. This is a thread about one of the weirdest forces in LA politics.
Are you a Santa Monica resident? Some on the Santa Monica city council are trying to chip away at progress made on protected bike lanes in the city, including making changes to “enhance vehicle movements” Make your voice heard: us4.campaign-archive.com/?u=e06b221ec78…
the new 17th st bike lanes in Santa Monica are a dreammmm

@streetsforall meetup ft. @SMSpoke @SaMoForward @climateactionsm & SM Families For Safe Streets 🤝🤝(+ 🍻&🍕). It’s almost like a bunch of people in Santa Monica and on the West side want safe streets. Shocker.
Just in case you were wondering what my neighborhood looks like on 34th Ave. A place some residents call a “Third World Country”, “armageddon” and a “fortress-style Berlin Wall” among hundreds of other insults.
“Affordable housing” requirements in new market rate developments make housing more expensive overall and put the entire financial burden for housing subsidies on middle class renters while letting rich people—who overwhelmingly live in single family homes they own—off the hook.
Thank you, @metrolosangeles! This is a game changer. More trains = more riders.
LA Metro announces that B/D lines will increase frequency to every 12 minutes on September 10, 2023, and light rail frequencies will be increased to 8 minute peak, 10 minute off-peak in December 2023. media.metro.net/board/Items/20…
"Every apartment needs parking because everyone has a car in LA" Guy you can literally just get on a bus and there are people on it. What is your theory of the case here
it’s so infuriating that Amtrak tried to fix this by straightening out the slow, curvy track in Connecticut but NIMBYs protested and nothing was built. why are we letting a few hundred angry, rich boomers stop infrastructure that will benefit millions?
Love that $31 @Amtrak fare but 4.5 hours from Boston to NYC (if on time) is just gross.
New housing doesn’t “trickle down,” it lets people move on up to better housing.
New research from Sweden shows that while most new homes are occupied by households with above-average incomes, the homes freed up by this initial move are mostly moved into by households with below-average incomes urbanlab.ibf.uu.se/urban-facts/

We can't allow those who spread fear and hatred to hold us back from tackling the housing and homelessness crisis. We stand with our Mayor and Councilmember Young-Yaroslavsky in their efforts to build more affordable housing across Los Angeles.
Some attendees were wearing blue tape above their lips to symbolize that they felt their input on the project had been silenced, I was told by a couple of them. A Jewish friend of mine noted the resemblance to the Hitler stache to one of them and they apologized and removed it.
Shameful behavior from a “liberal” community seeking solutions for the people on their streets… then protesting all solutions.
This meeting is a shitshow. People yelling at the councilwoman. Karen Bass just called for it to end.
@SaMoForward 🥳 Looks like we’re going to need some BRT on Santa Monica and Wilshire 👀
@SaMoForward @BradleyEwing I was just on the mandatory community meeting for 1819 SMB and it's still gonna be two years until it breaks ground and another two years after that until it starts having people move in. :( Project timelines could still use some work.
