Thanks for covering the Surplus Lands @estebancortante.bsky.social! la.urbanize.city/post/santa-m...

Look at the difference between NorCal and SoCal.

In the Bay, out of the 11 Senators repping urban areas, 8 voted yes.

In LA County, out of 13 Senators only 4 voted yes.

The LA delegation is killing housing bills.

CHIP did something!!

Wish metro would cut this project and upgrade the metrolink line instead.

Desalinization and vertical farming aren't necessary to free up rivers and land for conservation. Those would impose high costs on consumers - not very Abundance. Instead, the state should be putting a small thumb on the scale to discourage feed production for cattle & beef consumption.

Don't knock cross-ventilated!

The irony of this is that the banned example in the first picture looks much better than the preferred design. IMO cities should impose a few requirements like no blank walls facing pedestrians at ground level, and leave it at that.

Lots of homeowners north of Montana in Santa Monica reclassified as having fire hazard risk, and lots of buildings below sunset in WeHo. Ugly new reality here.

Given the high project cost I'm surprised Metro is recouping any $ value. I'm surprised this project is getting funded / moving forward at that cost to start with.

That's an insane cost when the pilot detected 0 weapons

Sounds like a trick to shift funds to highways. A subway that connects two areas of a city is local, a highway that does the same is through running to some other highway for regional access

BOS approved 13C? Awful
