Incoming skilled immigration requirements don’t need to specify which skill is required, just that the skill is valuable. EG., pay $1 million income tax in advance, be granted a five year visa.
A head tax generalizes such a flow.

One of the funny thing about the "skilled labour" approach to immigration is that it turns apparent economic liberals into believers in 1950s Soviet planned economy where the government apparently knows how many pair of shoes we'll need to manufacture, hence we need so many shoemakers, not one more.
Probably further focus on people to fill job and skills gaps that we lack and try to avoid importing more “unskilled labour” that is unfair for the people coming here and for young people already trying to find employment.

Separate but equal is good enough for me. If cars can loop around a city at 35 to 85 mph, #bikeNYC cyclists should be able to legally attempt the same.

Automobile crash reporting too often skips over the facts of what happened and picks up a vengeful tone to ask why weren’t the survivors jailed. All this while never diagramming the incident.
Did this driver leave the roadway and, with her car, hit pedestrians on the sidewalk ?

HB2454 makes bicycles intended users (rather than permitted) of a roadway, excluding interstates or controlled access highways. This allows bikers to hold the city accountable for hazards on all roads, not only bikeways.

It is customary to use yellow on the left edge of the roadway. Perhaps yellow is more requisite where one-way segments lead to two-way segments.

LA is a failed city. Free money but they have to give it back because they were incapable of spending it in a reasonable timeframe. There’s basically nothing the city can do right anymore.
The City of LA is about to give back millions of dollars of previously won money for active transportation projects because it can’t build things in any reasonable amount of time.

Higher ceilings (building height per floor) also prefered by people who need ductwork for central air conditioning, and not weak window or wall-sleeve units.

The fix isn’t more design review meetings or process – it’s streamlined rules and tools: modernized building codes that make smaller, more varied buildings feasible.
