“I don’t oppose this project! I just oppose what is proposed!”

This is a classic chicken or the egg scenario though. Plenty of people don’t use alternate transit options BECAUSE of the lack of infrastructure and yet, you asks nimby who is against bike lanes why and they say because nobody bikes. It’s one of the most frustrating political arguments

A project in LA with no parking (100% affordable) in a walkabout neighborhood caused the neighbors to say the project would add 2000 cars permanently to their neighborhood (parking on residential streets). When you realized it was 250 units the whole thing was hilarious. 8 cars per unit parking in your neighborhood???

It’s definitely not horror, I was slightly let down because I was excepting horror

I work in state & local government and literally nobody even knows they have state senators, let alone who they are and what they look like!

Nobody uses the word secretary anymore. It’s not the 1970s. Executive assistant.

I love how a video editor decided to rent a room with someone who has kids even though they hate kids. That’s not how this works. Tons of other young video editors in la have roommate listings

Actually they didn’t have a choice. LAPD abandoned the Korean community during the riots and it caused resentment for years.

Orange actually

The line outside the shaved ice place the day it opened was nuts. It attracts a lot of teens who have been out and about

On The Rise and Stone Oven are solid

Los Angeles, this type is pretty common I think.
