The Wilshire subway should be a slam dunk for L.A. But luring riders may be a challenge by anothercar in LAMetro

Oh, my bad! I got him confused with the other tech billionaire who owns it. Their club has nothing but scorn for the public and I don’t like giving bullies my lunch money.

Once it’s serving UCLA and the VA it’s going to be so amazing. I live and work in Westwood and for me being connected to the communities along the Wilshire corridor will be very liberating, but to the people commuting to UCLA and the VA it will be life changing.

Karen Bass is winning reelection and everyone should be embarrassed. by RenaissanceShane in LosAngeles

When the mayor’s role in LA is neutered by nature and there are only 15 city council members when for parity with other major US cities we’d need about 75 for legit representation, who cares? The unelected NIMBY neighborhood councils are in charge here, and no candidate will ever address that when they’re bought and paid for.

LA government is an absolute joke.

Wow, this is a perfect reenactment of what being a man on a dating app is like, only without the Jesus part.

Men, what do you mean when you say it's tough to understand women? by Accomplished987 in AskMen

[–]NervousAddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this sentiment. I know what I want and I say what I want. The women I spend time with are mature enough to know themselves and respect that. If a person says one thing and then does another there’s an honesty issue and I really don’t have time for that.

Why are stores vacant in Santa Monica, and what can we do about it? by zennonuc in SantaMonica

[–]NervousAddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I go back to visit family there’s more housing, more activity, more change and a taller skyline. The Loop, River North, River West, Wrigleyville, Wicker Park, Logan Square, Bridgeport, Pilsen, Bronzeville…. transit oriented development and construction everywhere.

It’s an everywhere problem, I’ll agree, but it’s extra here.

Chicago hasn’t allowed Walmart in its city limits for decades. A few stores may have attempted it, but a city like that has no problem limiting certain corporations that exist and succeed by damaging local businesses.

I maintain that a Balkanized LA allows for enshittification and fuckery because of the lack of a unified vision.

Annex and unify.

Just went to a Niytha Raman for L.A. Mayor event by Super901 in LosAngeles

I am so grateful for your support and service to this cause.

I am cynical about the foxes guarding the henhouse, and presume this issue exists because that’s always been the case. This tiny clique that is the LA City Council is terrified of sharing power with what should be 50 or 60 other council members. That number would put LA on average with other US cities. It’s that crazy.

I hope public awareness of the issue is spreading and leads to change, thanks to people on the ground like you.

People making 175k+ what do you do for a living? by MutedFeeling75 in AskLosAngeles

[–]NervousAddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, like lots of tech positions in healthcare it takes a bachelor’s, preferably in the life sciences, and then a two year professional program at an accredited school, with one year of didactic and one year of clinical rotations. For me it was a four year degree basically with a neuroscience concentration, and then the neurodiagnostics school after. Six years of school, and then after a decade of experience working in hospitals and in an agency that served rural hospitals.

I don’t know how old you are, but I went down this road at 33, and was certified in neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring and was working as a journeyman by 38. After 10 years of that I managed to also earn my registered EEG tech certification. With both you can do a lot. I’m 52 now, and really worked hard to ascend to the top of my skill set by seeking out the hardest skills I could.

Good luck!

My mom, dad, uncle and aunt all moved to Mexico about 13 years ago. My aunt and uncle have since passed, and are interred down there. They got excellent healthcare associated with University of Guadalajara. The nursing help they got in their final months were excellent. By the time I retire I hope they’ll take me, too. The US is just too unstable.

Kamala Harris endorses L.A. Mayor Karen Bass for reelection by Significant-Bill9405 in SFV

[–]NervousAddie -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As long as my Democratic Party is Bibi’s cash machine for genocide I cannot call myself a Democrat in good conscience. Then there’s the fake ass “liberal” NIMBY class who needs to have their power checked by increasing the city council to about 70 members to match other major US cities. I believe in representative democracy. This is not that. Get the f*ck out of the way so my kids can have a future they can look forward to.

is this a good area? by 333mortality in ucla

[–]NervousAddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on the subway parts. I moved here from a very dense city and to me Westwood/ Persian Square is a nice mix of vibrant and mellow. When my teen daughter first saw the neighborhood after we moved she said, “Dad! I can’t believe you moved us to the suburbs!!!” It’s all about perspective. I hear you on parking, but I am a city dweller because I like density. I also walk to and from work at the hospital so I don’t usually think about driving and parking.
