Her housing record was always really bad and I sorta suspect you can’t consistently be bad at one thing but good on the other. The instincts that make you bad on either housing or transit will inevitably make you bad on both.

it’s crazy how Michelle Wu ran on being the transit mayor and then turned around and started governing like Doug Ford

Btw, I heard that downtown Manhattan Beach restaurant owners really like cyclists. They find that people who arrive by bike come more often, stay longer, and spend more money. Makes sense. We don’t have to fight traffic or leave when the parking meter runs out.

In 2024, Moulton said he didn't want his daughters, then 3 and 6, to be "run over on the playing by a formerly male athlete." the in-town soccer league they would have been eligible to play in WAS COED AT THE TIME. Oh, and he gave an absolute loser non-apology about it.

Seth Moulton’s anti-trans rhetoric comes back to haunt him in Senate debate with Ed Markey

"I deeply recognize your trauma, and I'm sorry if my comments hurt you," the congressman said.

There's a lesson here: Unlike Dem leaders, Republicans don't follow public opinion; they shape it.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 5d ago

Republicans who see Canada as an enemy has leapt up this year, similar to how Republicans’ approval of Putin shot up in 2016. Virtually no anti-Canada US constituency before this year, and virtually no pro-Putin constituency before 2016. Out of nowhere. Now millions say that’s their position.

Mayor Bass is pushing the state legislature to put into *state law* that cities with over 2 million people (only LA) cannot reduce the # of car lanes of a road that leads into a cemetery without mayoral approval. Just to kill this desperately needed bike lane project.

If only this included protected bike lanes, improved light rail, dedicated bus lanes and strategies that actually allowed people to get out of cars and easily get from point a to point b.

I gave an ebike tour of differences in bicycle infrastructure between South Bay coastal cities today. 🥵Behold, the difference between Redondo Beach and Torrance! Retaining walls & Class 1 bike paths fell victim to disinformation. Torrance returned state ATP funding rather than building this project

Why is no one in the bike lane? Maybe because it vanishes without warning

LADOT’s second Toronto barrier installation and the first outside DTLA on Imperial Highway. These will also be used on the Spring/Alameda project, and likely on Ohio. Great option for true Class IV protection. Bravo LADOT — let’s replace all K71’s citywide!

Quite indicative of how South Bay politicians think of transit, which is to say, not very much at all.

Also could not stop laughing at Rep. Ted Lieu asking Metro such specific details about Archer’s air taxi service as if it was real (again Metro has *nothing* to do with air taxis!) And then at one point Lieu asks what LA28 is???

Be sure to always ask how the air taxi got there

expect the new board member to be santa clarita's Patsy Ayala, who is thankfully a huge upgrade over Jason Gibbs. Ayala is in particular a fan of Metrolink, and reportedly of AV Line electrification, so it'll be nice to have someone on the board who gives a shit about ML (or even knows it exists)
