A large body of research shows that building market rate homes in a neighborhood makes nearby housing more affordable, but it appears that #LosAngeles Mayor Karen Bass is either unaware of that research or doesn't believe it. www.lewis.ucla.edu/research/mar...

Trump Admin is planning to ask Congress to dramatically cut funding for transit as part of the 2026 infrastructure law. The proposal would eliminate the transit account, which funds billions of dollars in capital expenses. It would also prevent states from “flexing” roads funds for transit.

POLITICO Pro: Trump administration proposals seek to eliminate transit funding

DOT recently sent two proposals to the White House budget office seeking to pare back transit money.

MY left-YIMBY millennial Mayor has been signing every zoning reform bill that comes across his desk, is asking for even more to he sent his way, and is now playing Subway Builder on stream. What is your mayor getting into these days?

I refer to them as “one of my boys”, if applicable, but I’ve been struggling to find an equivalent term for women/non-binary friends that doesn’t sound like I’m claiming them as a monogamous partner.

‘Truly disappointing’ to see @bmorerenters.bsky.social shut down comments on this post just because it was being pointed out that actual Affordable housing groups like Habitat for Humanity and Healthcare for the Homeless testified in support of these bills. It’s a matter of record - why hide it?

Amtrak’s span of service could really be better. I should be able to catch a Northeast Regional out of DC at 2 AM. What’s the point of having this Center of Global Empire if it’s only a 9-5 city?

The assumption here is that there is compelling research or data for the existing land use or that there is no need to justify the status quo.

And we’re not done yet, folks! The Planning Commission unanimously approved Bill 25-0066 - Allowing low-density multi-family where only single-family is currently allowed. Now, ➡️ to the Land Use & Transportation Committee This one allows SFH➡️MFH conversions broadly, and may be the toughest fight

I think you could quantify this. Like, say you: - apply a “15-minute city” type rubric to residential properties - you group nearby homes together into clusters, constrained by proximity - count up how many clusters there are - count how many are walkable *to each other* - score by longest chain

Well, if you’re the type of person that cares about streaming audio quality, you’d probably also enjoy high-quality instrumental versions of your favorite songs! Can also search YouTube for these, but half the time they were ripped from guitar hero backing tracks in 2009, so YMMV

I think it’s great, although I don’t use it for streaming. I get the highest quality downloads to throw into BandLab’s splitter to isolate the guitar/bass/drums/vocals

Yes, but they passed the re-written version in a special session immediately after the regularly scheduled one. Why they needed a separate session at 5:30 PM after the 5 PM one is beyond me

The answer as to “why” is basically: the Metro was built in the 80’s, intended to connect with an unbuilt N/S metro line underground at Charles Cntr. In the 90’s, they built a surface light rail line w/o federal funding, and took the easiest path through downtown, which happened to be Howard St

I consider this a connection, although reasonable people do disagree on this. It’s at least as much of connection as the Chicago Loop has with the Red/Blue lines!
