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.

Contributor: You're not imagining it. L.A. has surrendered to the potholes
To avoid a legal obligation to make sidewalks accessible, the city stopped repaving streets in July and doesn't plan to resume.

“$150 for delivery so I ordered the chair for pick up instead”
Props to Crate and Barrel for having a bike pick up option
Amazing what you can do with an electric cargo bike and a Burley utility trailer

A pedestrian is injured every 5 hours in Los Angeles. When will people be sick enough of this status quo to demand that the city redesign our streets around people instead of cars?

Everyone complains about driving in LA — the traffic, the parking challenges.
For any trip under 5 miles (66% of trips each day), it’s the slowest, least efficient, least convenient, least joyful mode of transportation possible.

I got inspired by my experience today picking up groceries at Whole Foods — and motivated to write this by the electric Hummer that pulled in next to me as I was leaving.

No, you don’t need a car to pick up groceries. You just think you do.

Last week I went to San Francisco and Sacramento for work. Thanks @mobilityforwho.bsky.social for putting together a fun video featuring my very multimodal trip: biking my @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social to the airport and putting it in the overhead bin, using BART @sfbayferry.com and @amtrak.com!

Even by LA standards, this project is egregious, and undercuts the billions @metrolosangeles.bsky.social has spent on improving transit to the airport.
We never learn; amazing that right now the city is moving full steam ahead on a project their own EIR says will make traffic worse!

The city is about to spend $2B+ to make traffic *worse* at LAX. We could do so much with that money, but instead we’re about to light it on fire with a freeway-style interchange in front of the airport, undercutting our transit investments.

For the one on the left there is limitless funding and political support to expand and improve.
The one on the right is running on 1920s technology, gasping for basic funding, with little political support.
