Volunteer over fear. Even when things feel hopeless, scary, and distressing, it is important to focus on what you can do and start where you are.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

While the adage “never post” is an important North Star, being at the @metrolosangeles.bsky.social LAX / Metro Transit Center opening is too rad not to.

Behold LA’s single-stair motion!
PLANNING & LAND USE MANAUEIVICNI MOTION A longstanding issue faced by the region's housing market is the need for more affordable "family-sized" apartments. Too often, growing middle class families are faced with either squeezing into small apartments or looking for a home whose rent, much less a down payment, is well out of reach. One of the most significant, but long overlooked barriers to the creation of these units has been the failure to update state and local building codes to reflect modern safety improvements and building techniques. The requirement for "dual-loaded corridors" and double stairwells, which was born out of early 20th century planning concerns, has since become a hindrance to creating larger units with greater natural light and ventilation and buildings with enhanced green space. Major cities across the country, including New York and Seattle, allow for the development of single-stairwell buildings over three stories. Among the 18 different jurisdictions between the United States and Canada that are contemplating code changes related to stairwell reforms, there is movement at both the state and local level in California, evidenced by efforts underway in San Diego, San Francisco, and the recent passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 835. As we consider how to build a more affordable, resilient, and sustainable city, a thoughtful update to the Building Codes will allow us to develop more desirable homes that better suit the needs of all Angelenos without reducing safety or accessibility. WE THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), in consultation with the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and the Department of City Planning (DCP), and with requested input from Livable Cities Initiative (LCl) and the American Institute of Architects Los Angeles (AIA LA), to present within 90 days modifications to the City's Building Code in order to allow for single-exit, single-stairway, multifamily unit residential bui…
