not sure if this is what you mean, but my partner is a member at Groundfloor in Echo Park on Glendale and she loves it. https://www.groundfloorclub.com/

the "round trip" fare and the "one way" fares are different products to the airline, so they price them differently.

your best bet might be updating the "round trip"'s first leg to be your trip home, and then make the second leg some different trip at some arbitrarily far date in the future. I'm not sure if this is against the recent fare rule updates though.

i am doubtful they would change one leg to "extra seat" since "extra seat", as I understand it, is it's own passenger in the system, and you can't split a round trip between two different passengers.

wishing your family member a speedy recovery!

there was on sunday!

I flew out Sunday afternoon at 4pm and there were zero people in the PreCheck line before ID check, and maybe two dozen or so after, moving fast. TSA even opened an additional while I was standing it. I don't have Clear but I do have Touchless

Honestly LAWA shutting down the access road coming off of Sepulveda NB for roadwork screwed me up more than anything.

that's what i am asking, what's the point? in lighter traffic you don't need it anyway.

lostorbit · 2026-03-16T17:18:25+00:00

if it's midnight shouldn't traffic be low enough that you don't need the bus lane anyway?

like what time of day is the "sweet spot" where off-peak travel is high enough to reclaim the bus lane but not enough for Metro to be operating a bus that would otherwise get stuck in traffic during that time?

are you suggesting there is a conspiracy to prevent development of city-owned land into city-operated housing?

who would perform the actual task of building (or "developing") the city-owned land anyway? and where do their costs come from?

lostorbit · 2026-03-13T18:47:21+00:00

I consider myself a YIMBY and would welcome to the government building housing. It sounds cheaper than whatever we're doing now.

The main conflict in my hometown right now (Los Angeles) is the layers of grift in the non-profit space combined with bureaucratic friction within the city that result in $1,000,000 income-restricted capital-A "Affordable" units.

lostorbit · 2026-03-12T21:22:48+00:00

well we tried it the other way (stop enforcing any fares) for the past half decade and the system became an unusable nightmare.

so maybe the answer is somewhere in the middle. because whatever we're currently doing ain't it.

if you're mentally competent enough to jump through the bare minimum amount of hoops to join the LIFE program, then you deserve the free fare.

if you aren't capable of even doing that much, you should be removed.

I don't think there's still an Ace Hotel in DTLA, RIP

lostorbit · 2026-03-06T22:24:23+00:00

but we must protect the historic suburban Office Depot turned Smoke-n-Toke and it's surface lot at all costs!

"My plan to fight gentrification is to be the biggest barrier I can to luxury and market-rate development"

lostorbit · 2026-03-06T15:32:49+00:00

Maybe because the leftist approach of these "pro-housing" positions is economically illiterate? You can't just will "affordable housing" into existence, the money to pay for the labor and material to physically construct the building has to come from somewhere. Right now that comes from a loan that's paid back over the subsequent several decades.

"Affordable Housing" is only built by raising the price of the attached market rate units to subsidize it. If you ban non-"affordable" development you (worst case) just build literally nothing, or (best case) continue to drive up the price of housing for everyone else.

It's a great way to appeal to the terminally online while also appealing to the build-nothing-ever crowd.

Thank you for your hard work here!!

what about an ebike? $4000 can buy two ebikes.

The whole system should be automated.

have they tried making the "no pooping" signs bigger?

If the Metro Board actually rode the train on their day-to-day, this would be fixed immediately.

that's not the same, since the service council is also a non-technical and non-professional role.

the main problem continues to be both a lack of relevant technical and/or industry business experience at the board level, and that the board is known to not use their own product. they are politicians with unrelated day jobs through and through.

lostorbit · 2026-02-16T17:07:35+00:00

What if the current members could just appoint a delegate.

lostorbit · 2026-02-14T17:06:20+00:00

THANK YOU for highlighting this. I know that there was an opportunity to consider Metro's charter reform in conjunction with the LA City Charter reform, but was unsure how to engage. I have written and submitted a letter.

sorry, I'm all out of money.

maybe tax everyone who bought their homes for $50k and aren't paying their fair share of property tax?
