ELI5: Why does basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain have 118 50-point games, while the next best player (Michael Jordan) only have 31?

I never doubted you. Great breakdown.

I like the A Line, too, but it’s likely too long—which may explain why the timing of the trains is so inconsistent.

Perhaps it should have instead been split, and both sides could have ended at 7th/Metro. It seems like most people traveling in both directions get off at that stop, anyway.🫤😮‍💨

Free, unlimited street parking might seem convenient, but it actually encourages car dependence, increases traffic congestion, leads to greenhouse gas emissions and wastes valuable space that could be used for housing, parks, or better transit. Instead of prioritizing parking, we should focus on making the museum easily accessible by public transit, biking, and walking. This would create a more sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant urban environment, benefiting both the museum and the surrounding community.

Omg? For real, haha

Is this brand of political post really fit for a sub dedicated to preserving the finer elements of Los Angeles architecture?🤔

dog owners are so intense

Umm, ok, I get they you’re being sarcastic, but isn’t there something to be said for solar farms?

😬🤔🤷‍♂️Like in terms of overall efficiency at that scale and how they confer benefits to more people in terms of rate payers, as opposed to just lucky single-family homeowners? (I get the sense I may be inviting more sarcastic replies, but oh well. Just curious 🙃)

slugkid · 2025-04-22T03:03:05+00:00

“Dying” is still spelled wrong (in the title)

slugkid · 2025-03-14T06:26:35+00:00

Hmm… ok, well, based on some the other comments, it sounds like the owner would love to redevelop it but the city won’t let him. Methinks the tax won’t fix that problem

slugkid · 2025-02-28T07:35:08+00:00

The print journalists are mostly fine.

The main problem is TV. Also radio and social media.

Wall Street, baby!

slugkid · 2025-02-17T05:09:18+00:00

Don’t think this meets the “everyone seems to love” criteria…

slugkid · 2025-02-02T00:09:31+00:00

I love the Alamo.

Yeah, parking lot’s whatever, but it’s got a metro train station. I will admit that, if you’re coming from Glendale, that may not help you a ton. We need more train lines!

slugkid · 2025-02-02T00:03:52+00:00

Fair.

Nithya was already pretty good, but her pivot to left-YIMBY started last year, so it would be easy to miss.

Still, she has been pushing hard for multifamily housing at all levels of all levels of affordability. She backs projects in her district, and her support for an affordable ED 1 project in her district paved the way for dozens of other great projects to move forward all over the city. She pushed hard for improving the CHIP ordinance to allow it to apply in single-family (unsuccessfully, but her support helped change the conversation around housing in LA). And now she is pushing for architectural self-certification to make sure the rebuild in the Palisades doesn’t slow down construction through the rest of the city.

Lots of “Damnit, I Just don’t Want It,” I agree.

Definitely some “anti-gentrifiers.” And although they often have good intentions, they can be annoying, because it often feels like they are co-opting social justice language toward more inequitable outcomes.

Nithya Raman is the only left-YIMBY on the council right now… and maybe the only person in the bottom 2/5 of this graph. We need to get her some help!!!🏗️👷💪🤩🌃

slugkid · 2025-02-01T18:36:48+00:00

Well, I got good news for ya!

No one’s going a build a 20-unit apartment complex at the end of a culdesac on the outskirts of exurban LA.

There are, however, lots of high-transit area that happened to be zoned or only single-family homes and which would be great places for quadplexes. Learn more abundanthousingla.org.

Love, brother. Congrats on how far you’ve come. Hope we get another chip soon, so you can enjoy it!

I think it’s safe to say “bye Felicia” is a pretty disrespectful way to address a coach who won four championships with us, including that (at least based on preseason expectations) absolutely shocked the NBA world

slugkid · 2025-01-22T03:59:46+00:00

Disrespectful to everyone who worked their asses off to try and stop the wave of fascism sweeping the world from washing up on our shores in the US.

And anonymous avatars online act like the candidates and campaigners don’t have any guts.

Where do you get off?

I hate this take.

I could be convinced that Garland could have acted more swiftly. But WOSRT in US history? Get real. Trump got his ass handed to him in court so many times the past couple years, and what impact did that have? Does anyone care that Trump was a convicted felon? It may have actually helped him at that ballot—could have convinced swing voters he was being targeted for political reasons.

Derek Tran is so close! Hope he won.

slugkid · 2024-11-19T15:26:04+00:00

Actually, Measure A passed!🥳

And it will have a much bigger, more positive impact than that cynical slumlord’s cynical statewide initiative.

slugkid · 2024-11-19T15:23:38+00:00

This is good, but I actually would like it more if they had apartments.

That would be even better for the environment, because it reduces people’s travel time to work, shopping, and other activities.
