I didn’t want to detract from the new speed camera install this week… but this scene goes through my head when LADOT folks talk about deadly speeding issues. LADOT engineered the streets to be deadly; they shouldn’t be shocked that they’re deadly. youtu.be/HMIyDf3gBoY?...

This will boost the city's parking fine revenue by millions. Parking fines have barely moved, while city costs have soared. xtown.la/2025/03/19/d...

Drop in parking tickets leads to widening city deficit

Los Angeles expected to spend $65 million more on parking than it takes in from fines.

L.A. transpo agencies don't know where their bus lanes are - chapter ~7. A few times, I corrected Metro's inflated mileage numbers. Today: LADOT's deflated list of streets where the city is considering automated bus lane enforcement - see CouncilFile 21-1224. cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkc...

L.A. is issuing hundreds of thousands fewer parking tickets than it used to. Will automatic cameras pick up where humans left off? xtown.la/2026/08/20/p...

It's been more than a year since the LAPD released crash data. So if there were other crashes here there is still no public record of it.

When L.A. builds, it builds single-family homes. This is no way to respond to a housing crisis.

One reason the Los Angeles #homeless crisis is so intractable: the city has been permitting many fewer apartments than it once did. xtown.la/2026/07/27/h...

Complaints about broken streetlights (blame copper wire thieves) are on track for another record this year. But the pace has slowed a bit in the past three months.

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

Los Angeles is handing out fewer parking tickets. But the average price tag is rising.

CrosstownLA @crosstownla.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Did you get an L.A. parking ticket recently? Consider yourself special. The city is issuing about half a million fewer of them these days.

New construction projects are a sign of economic vitality. Los Angeles is finally shaking off its COVID lull and beginning to move again. (2026 data through April 30)
