Yes, I just spent 1.5 hours trying to understand the Los Angeles Mayor Bass campaign's latest "No Show Nithya" claim. (a thread)
Just 130 of the 10k new affordable housing units built citywide were in Nithya Raman’s district — the second worst record of all 15 council districts.

Raman talks a big game on housing. But after 6 years on the City Council, her rhetoric doesn’t match her record.

Each day, our dedicated Providence teachers are showing up for our students and supporting our kiddos as they grow. Happy World Teachers Day! ✏️
A vertically oriented illustrated collage celebrating teachers. Four bordered photographs are arranged down the left side, while large colorful lettering and school-themed illustrations fill the right side.

The top photograph shows a group of adults and elementary-aged children posing in a classroom; one child holds a championship-style belt. The second photograph shows children and adults posing inside the Rhode Island State Library in front of a display and digital floor-plan screen. The third photograph shows three adults standing in front of classroom posters, with the person in the center holding a colorful book. The bottom photograph shows three adults posing at an indoor formal event.

On the right, large orange lettering reads “HAPPY WORLD TEACHERS DAY!” Beneath it is a hand-drawn yellow pencil with a black graphite tip and pink eraser. Large blue lettering reads “A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR PVD TEACHERS!” The lower portion includes illustrations of a globe labeled with continents and oceans, and a stack of multicolored books. The background is light beige with a paper-like texture.

The 200-unit affordable housing development proposal on Ethel Ave. in Sherman Oaks, Councilmember Raman’s district? Still a vacant lot. One of the reasons why the number of affordable housing units in CD4 is so low: Mayor Bass watered down ED1 & capitulated to single-family homeowners & NIMBYs.

I don’t understand: 1. the seemingly vibes-based opposition to center-running lanes, 2. how curbside lanes are now good enough, 3. what Mayor Wu is about anymore, 4. what Boston’s transpo plan is.
