@lintonjoe.bsky.social the Streetsblog article says that Alhambra got $10m, but i think the Attachment A of the board agenda shows that Alhambra *requested* $10m. Attachment B is showing that Alhambra will only receive a total of $4.45m. am i reading the attachments correctly?

her reaction to Newsom's "go YIMBYs!" remark was... very restrained!

lot of cities have such strict rules that the only way to build *anything* is to go to city council for a variance. that empowers both NIMBY busybodies and well-connected developers who know how to grease the right palms. that's regulation from private interested parties

i spoke with CM Hutt for a couple of minutes at ciclavia today. i thanked her for her support of ciclavia, and said i hoped that she would support bus lanes on la brea. she said she's still collecting feedback from the community. sigh

i love reading any discussion about the different levels of scrutiny

ohhh, so if you're rich enough to own a SFH, it's cool to be exempt from the ADA. but you can turn around and wave the ADA around as a reason to oppose additional housing in your neighborhood. got it

SFHs in your area rent for much more than $1500/month. they are not affordable. thus, they should not be allowed to be built. am i doing this right?

ohhh yeah the incumbent SFH owners definitely aren't maximizing their profits by limiting housing options in their neighborhood right?

which of the preexisting SFHs are ADA compliant and have an apartment manager?
