Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 21hFinding out that he sends his kid to DC public school forgave a lot sins for me. That's pretty basic test I have for urbanism and he passed it. 010
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 22hYup. I actually typed it was refreshing but couldn't make it fit and deleted it. It'd prefer to just battle nimbys who are straight up about what they believe than the liars we have out here. Just today someone on Nextdoor said HPOZs dont need affordable housing because it's not really affordable. 010
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 22hBass has moved so far to the right in this campaign. Nextdoor is basically full Bass support 24/7. It will be very good for LA if she loses, very good. And very, very bad if she wins. We are really at the biggest turning point in my LA lifetime. 1201
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 22hI tangled with these NY suburban Nimbys back in the old housing twitter days. They are on another level. California Nimbys are very practiced at hiding their anti housing behind secondary arguments like vacancies or whatever. These NY'ers are just straight up racist. 120
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 23hShe's planned a trip out of the country for whenever that happens. 010
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 23h80% of my district of like 225k people voted for HLA, the bike lane prop.

Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 23hMy bike commute to DTLA today was absolutely gorgeous... oh and my commute to take my kids to school was the same. 120
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 23hIn my neighborhood Bass is having a "closed door" zoom with anti bike lane advocates. She is free basing nimbyism all day long. She doesn't listen to anyone outside of her anti housing anti bike lane bubble. So to her this is like a huge gotcha because she's only talking to her group. 010
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 23hVillaraigosa was a million times more bike friendly than Bass. He got hit on his bike and then really started pushing bike lanes. 1110

Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 13/10/2026We are paying millions because we won’t do things like road diets to fix dangerous roads. 010
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Isnt liability already attached? LA pays out a ton of money on unsafe streets. They are very strong to make the argument they have to remove a crosswalk for liability but not that they have to put them in. 110
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I wish that fear of liability went both ways. LA removes DIY corsswalks but also removed a road diet where a mother was then killed riding with her kids. Now there's a lawsuit. Where was the fear of liability then? Where is all the fear of liability when engineers identify high injury corridors? 190
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 13/10/2026This is severe desperation. All of these people are already voting for her. Why waste your time on this? 040
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 13/10/2026She is long since out of power. I have a feeling the group is just her now, since you just email...her. 110
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 13/10/2026This is hysterical. I don't think they are going to let me join and ask about safe streets. 370
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Karen Bass is spending the last few weeks of election, pandering to Nimbys. I wasn't even aware that Silver Lake Together was still around. They are a group who used to be in power of the Silver Lake neighborhood council and tried to kill the Rowena road diet, but since have faded. Bass found em! 2242

Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I don’t think it was, I think and you probably agree it was to say “hey maybe the pedestrian had some blame, we’re not sure”. Cops almost always side with drivers. 010
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Yup. If you look up 69th and central there’s a legal intersection to cross “an unmarked” cross walk. But he was killed in a hit and run so I’m sure it’s hard to guess where he was crossing. It’s entirely unnecessary to bring it up except to give a hit and run driver an out for murder. 010
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Oh sure, let’s just let the flow of traffic decide how fast we can drive near schools or in front of Russell’s house. 070
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The original post is about speed cameras and urban roads. Are you arguing against speed cameras in cities or just making some entirely different argument? 030

Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026One kid is getting better and the other has a fever. I skipped a conference this morning so my wife who’s been nursing number 2 can sleep in. It feels like at least 1 of our 3 kids has been sick everyday since school started. It’s exhausting. It you’re not working, you’re nursing. 030

Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Mayor Bass's statements on the pedestrian death has huge mayor in hot dog costume vibes. You want to find who is accountable? Maybe start with the mayor who has blocked safe street projects throughout the city. 0102
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 09/10/2026These stories on a pedestrian killed in South LA continually say it was "outside a marked crosswalk". But look at the road. The whole thing is outside a marked crosswalk. Where are the crosswalks? This is a highway, not a road. 2252

Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If we built a lot more market rate housing, it would make the old housing much, much cheaper. 100
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 05/10/2026And why are California market rate housing prices so high? Could it be because we don’t build enough market rate housing? 110
Chris @chrisbybikes.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The min wage for fast food workers in California is $20/hour. 30% of full time income is about $900 bucks. There are cities in California you can do that in. LA could do it too if we just legalized more market rate housing. 120
