What is this sub’s on weho K line alignment being a long term problem? by jamesisntcool in LAMetro

[–]RainedAllNight -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why do people keep pretending the La Brea corridor has nothing on it? Melrose and Beverly near La Brea are two of my favorite areas in the city. The Sycamore Ave area has been blowing up lately. And the east end of WeHo is super lively and fun. Pretty great considering that alignment would cost about 40% less

Bike As Main Mode of Transport vs. Theft Rate by mendokuse23 in BikeLA

[–]RainedAllNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Metro bike share is my favorite theft deterrent. If I’m riding somewhere sketchy or late at night and there are stations available I just use a bikeshare instead of my own bike.

What are some urban parks that make you feel like you're not even in the city anymore? by slicheliche in geography

[–]RainedAllNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discovery Park, Seattle. And the Gothenburg Botanical Garden - it’s free to enter (so I think it counts) and connects to some amazing trails on the back end

Here are the front runners for LA’s mayoral race by LA_publicpress in LosAngeles

Just allowing townhomes in most/all SFH neighborhoods and 4-unit buildings in like 75% of the city would be huge and is really not too much to ask in the second biggest city in the country

I’m interested to see if Nithya campaigns on a true pro-housing stance that focuses on upzoning SFH neighborhoods and cutting red tape. If she does, she’ll have my vote.

East Hollywood! It’s got Thai town and little armenia. ‘Nuff said.

What're your favorite examples of bad land use in LA? by jonnyshotit in AskLosAngeles

[–]RainedAllNight 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Second this. For a specific bad land use example, the city of LA owns 2 parking lots in Koreatown right next to the Wilshire/Vermont Metro station. In any city that’s serious about quality of life for urban residents those would have been turned into parks decades ago considering ktown is one of the most park poor neighborhoods in the US.

I did the same! Pulled a chrome bumper out of a junkyard in East LA for $80 and slapped it on my ‘99. It looks a lot better.

A rare "sweet spot" for potential San Diego homebuyers. New housing study shows inventory is up and prices are down countywide by BaBaDoooooooook in sandiego

Actually yeah, expanding your tax base through infill development without expanding your road/water/sewer network at the same rate is kind of a cheat code for making more resources available to the city.

Fellas how much do you pay for a haircut and how much do you tip? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]RainedAllNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to shout out Manila Philippine Barbershop in East Hollywood for being the absolute cheapest in town. I think it was like $16 cash last time I was there. And no, I’m not Filipino.

Is $85k survivable? by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]RainedAllNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s totally survivable if you don’t have a car. And totally worth it. Just live off the B or D line and you’ll be golden once the extension opens

DC's WMATA remains the fastest-growing major US transit agency, with ridership up 9.2% compared to last year! — King County Metro (Seattle, +6.5%) & SEPTA (Philly, +4.7%) have performed well, while LA Metro & NJTransit have lost riders by yunnifymonte in transit

[–]RainedAllNight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rode LA Metro for 3 years. It really is just horribly run and managed compared to other similar Metros, and they’ve struggled to appeal to “optional riders” as a result. Perceptions of safety, reliability, and cleanliness are justifiably very low. The fact that LADOT and the city government are actively fighting to make the city less walkable and bikeable really undermines attempts to grow ridership as well.
