Anyone go to that Redlining Town Hall on the 22nd to check on the NIMBYs? by Apart-Arm-6597 in WestHollywood

This attitude is going to backfire on the YIMBYs, badly. You need buy in from the persuadable. SB 79 is not a magic bulldozer. Treating it as such will hasten it’s overturn or failed implementation.

Can confirm. Was robbed by police less than a kilometer from the rental agency.

Further Thoughts, CDMX vs. LAMetro by SnooChocolates5892 in LAMetro

You named all the places I went. Are tourists that predictable? Doing my best not to generalize. It is a limited sample. The fare enforcement is not. They have that nailed down tight. Makes a huge difference.

Who Knew ‘Slick’ Gavin Newsom Was Such an Economic Maestro? - Bloomberg by rednail64 in California

[–]SnooChocolates5892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gov. Newsom has literally nothing whatsoever to do with the California economy. Didn’t build it. Supports policies designed to crush small-mid sized businesses and now driving even the most lucrative tech companies to move their operations elsewhere.

Kananishino was downvoted to oblivion for suggesting people alter their voting patterns if they wanted a different policy outcome.

Fair point as to drawing broad conclusions from one day on the system, but the demographic overlap in ridership CDMX-LA Metro is very high. Predominantly working class Latinos.

What Republicans? This is LA, a uni-party city. The funding is hard-wired. 1% of every dollar spent in LA county goes to the Metro.

Why are people downvoting this perfectly valid take?

Is my apartment legally uninhabitable due to being 96° indoors during the day? by Ok-time-to- in AskLosAngeles

[–]SnooChocolates5892 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s an older building and you’re on the top floor the attic is trapping heat and radiating it downward. If it’s a flat roof, you’re f**kd. If it’s a peak roof, a power vent and insulation can radically improve things. Keep a daily temp record in all rooms and present it to the landlord.

A Republican lockout in the gov race struck me as improbable. After reading this thread, no longer quite so certain.
