Day 2: River

Ángela Aguilar: “La Llorona”

Ay, de mí Llorona, Llorona, Llorona
Llévame al río

Tápame con tu rebozo, Llorona
Porque me muero de frío

(Woe is me, Llorona/take me to the river
Cover me with your shawl, Llorona/For I'm dying of cold)

Thanks for providing the space to vent!

It's so frustrating--so much of what they claim to want would be *helped* by having more housing. Want to "help people stay rooted long term"? Have more diverse housing stock in the neighborhood so seniors can downsize! Want to "build fire safety and resilience?" GROW YOUR TAX BASE!

Ugh. I had a brief conversation with one of those folks and gave them an EARFUL. And then had the pleasure of pointing to the neighbor's two giant ADUs looming over my back yard and saying THOSE ARE GOOD ACTUALLY.

(I was about to put on my "Viviendas Para Todes" Tshirt and head over to the event, before I saw that it was last week....)

I live in this neighborhood! I *WANT* more housing near me! More people on the street! More support for local business & community spaces! More riders for local transit! More kids! THAT's what makes a vibrant community, not some redlined fantasy frozen in amber.

Agreed! Total POS.

If it's at all helpful, keep in mind that bills he declines to sign DO become law. CA law requires an outright veto to stop a bill passed by the legislature.

I was one of them! It was a great day. One of the many reasons I love visiting DC.

Roads are pretty slippery today--be careful!

Mine is a class 1 (no throttle), so I'm always pedaling; the e-assist compensates for the weight of the bike & my gear. I turn it down when I want the workout, up when it's hot or I'm tired. On net I'm definitely getting more exercise compared to my regular bike because I ride it 50x more.

I ride North Park to Logan Hts/E village every day. Strongly recommend an ebike if you can swing it--the climb out of downtown can be a drag at the end of the day, plus makes it easier to ride in work clothes. I splurged on a Gazelle, but the other options suggested here are good and less spendy.

(Credit to a lifetime of listening to SoCal traffic reports. For extra credit, I can tell you what an Sig Alert is!)
