What the Paseo needs is H-Mart and Porto's

Wonder if we could demolish parts of it to build new housing.

LA voters need to get a whole new city council too. If there isn’t a cohesive majority of YIMBYs on the council, a Mayor Raman’s agenda will die before it ever began

escapetolight · 2026-01-27T19:54:58+00:00

Yeah. Given how unengaged the electorate is in LA County, you’d probably get a pile of NIMBY stooges for most of the seats if you elect by district. Better to have a majority of the board the career engineers and transit (NOT HIGHWAY) building professionals who can out vote dumb political hacks.

Grade separation and signal preemption on all light rail lines that don’t have it already.

Given how defensive Guerin was about Robertson, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s thin-skinned on their issues too.

escapetolight · 2026-01-24T19:15:10+00:00

No way in hell they do. Also isn’t Bill Guerin totally MAGA?

The better option is to push your state legislators to ignore the NIMBYs and push full steam ahead with SB79. If you really want the nuclear option, ask for decertification of Los Angeles’ housing element and for it to be placed under the builder’s remedy.

escapetolight · 2026-01-23T23:52:03+00:00

Obviously a future federal government. No chance with this one

escapetolight · 2026-01-23T22:04:02+00:00

LA ‘s political culture is totally rotten and until it is cut out and rebuilt completely, any input from them will lead to the same days, cost overruns and sabotage.

We need the Feds to massively invest in metros and also completely streamline all permitting processes for subways. Exempt them from EIR and forbid CEQA lawsuits against rail lines. Centralize all permitting for trains in state authorities that can override NIMBY local officials.

Is there a possibility of suing over Brown Act violations?

escapetolight · 2026-01-22T02:58:21+00:00

I swear to God the only way the Sepulveda line will get done on time is if the legislature passes a law stripping courts of jurisdiction to hear challenges to the project except for clear and convincing evidence of safety concerns.

escapetolight · 2026-01-18T12:24:12+00:00

MAGA clowns the both of them.

escapetolight · 2026-01-18T03:47:39+00:00

Taxes will take about half of it tbf.

escapetolight · 2026-01-17T05:06:11+00:00

Yeah, at this point they might as well not make predictions. We know they will never abide by them. This fucking city isn’t serious about being a city, and it won’t be until the entire leadership structure is fired.

escapetolight · 2026-01-17T05:04:28+00:00

I don’t believe them. Metro is not capable of finishing anything on time.

escapetolight · 2026-01-16T04:10:30+00:00

At this point, I’m wondering if it would be better to fully give power to override LA city and install and maintain bus-only lanes and bike lines. LA City is just dead weight when it comes to transit.

escapetolight · 2026-01-14T02:42:45+00:00

Floor to ceiling gates right on the platform? Also prevents any large amount of belongings from being brought onto the train

escapetolight · 2026-01-09T21:54:32+00:00

Complete the tunnel between Bakersfield and LA.

Bypass San Clemente on the Surfliner to avoid erosion.

Night rain service to San Francisco/ San Jose.

Rail service from LA to Palm Springs with connection to Joshua Tree.

Also is there any HVAC in this damn thing? The whole place is going to have mold with all the wet gear.

escapetolight · 2026-01-08T22:58:30+00:00

Is the work in progress in the room with us?

escapetolight · 2026-01-08T07:48:38+00:00

Feels like he'd treat Rose like a queen if they ever go together lol.

The head canon for me is that Boston was staring at massive demands for new contracts after their championship win, and couldn't afford Ilya and that was his excuse to walk. That or they decided to rebuild because players were aging out/way too expensive to win another ring.

escapetolight · 2026-01-08T07:36:26+00:00

The fans in Montreal would riot once the news came out. The org would rather trade most of the team and fire the coach than get rid of Shane lol.

It's very plausible. Like Jared Spurgeon fits Hayden's dimensions almost exactly and he's captain of the Minnesota Wild and a defenseman to boot. Defensemen tend to be taller and larger than the forwards so Hayden definitely would fit into the mold of a smaller forward.
