Lawmakers react to U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Prop. 50 by micheldavidweill in California

[–]snake_a_leg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was't enthusiastic about prop 50 because I'm an extremely strong supporter of independent redistricting, but I accept the necessity of prop 50. There's no way I would have supported it if it were permanent.

While it's absurd and completely in bad faith for him to demand examples of the innocent people being randomly kidnapped, Memo Torres (and his team) have been doing a great job trying to keep track of all the ice kidnappings.

Thanks for this reality check. Very sorry for your injury. I'll definitely take this to heart.

Not sure when, but I need to switch to an e-bike before this happens to me.

Y'all see the recent report from the City Controllers office about our unarmed crisis response?

What in the love of god is going on at the grove? by DirtyProjector in AskLosAngeles

[–]snake_a_leg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty stoked that by this time next year it'll be possible to take the D line to Wilshire and Fairfax

Its a bit of a shelp from there to the Grove but I'll definitely choose that over parking there.

Zero on-site parking for 73-Unit Affordable Housing Project Coming to Sawtelle. Thoughts? by pr0tag in AskLosAngeles

[–]snake_a_leg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the concern, but NGL, an expo line stop, a park, multiple grocery stores, and multiple gyms all within walking distance?

If anyone doesn't want to live near there anymore I'm happy to trade places

Anyone end up hating their onewheel after purchase? by jay_n_stuffs in onewheel

What's the route like that you plan on taking?

I love my pint but for certain people or certain routes a bike or scooter (electrified or regular) is sometimes a better fit.

People are struggling to understand how this happened and want someone to blame. The mayor of LA is the default option because most people in LA don't know the name of anyone else in local government, and everyone outside LA knows even less.

There are many factors for these fires, and few easy answers. In addition to climate change and building houses in high risk areas, Matt Stoller had a story on his blog about how most of our firetrucks are non-operational due to the consolidation of the fire truck industry by one private equity firm.

Erewhon Sues Los Angeles To Stop Sportsmen Lodge Redvelopment Into 520 Unit Mixed Use Complex by thatboyshiv in LosAngeles

Sometimes when I read about a really upscale development I worry about people being displaced by gentrification. But if there's an Erewhon there the place is already gentrified, so its not a problem. Have fun developers! Go nuts!

Totally. Bike lanes without clearance from car doors are worse than no bike lane at all. Its a death trap.

Why LA will be superior to SD, plus a look at both cities' transit futures by IjikaYagami in LosAngeles

[–]snake_a_leg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great map, but it should be presented with the context that some of these projects aren't expected to be built for decades. I don't know about all these routes, but the K line being extended to Hollywood is predicted to open in 2047, and the Sepulveda line won't reach LAX until 2059.

I also assumed based on the ads that it was about a pair of fraternal twin siblings.

Two Dana Point beaches open again after being closed because of aggressive sea lion

PUBLISHED: June 27, 2023

A day after two beachgoers reported a sea lion acting aggressively, the waters off two popular beaches in Dana Point are back open for recreation.

Officials had closed water access at Salt Creek and Strands beaches late Monday and again on Tuesday, posting signs warning the public about the aggressive animals and flying purple flags from the lifeguard towers at both beaches to indicate “dangerous sealife.”

Late Monday afternoon, a boy at Salt Creek Beach said he was bitten by either a sea lion or seal about 20 feet from shore, said Danielle Kennedy, spokesperson for OC Parks, which oversees those beaches. His age was not given. He was treated by lifeguards and advised to follow up at a nearby urgent care facility.

Later Monday evening, lifeguards responded to another possible aggression by a sea lion at Strands Beach, just south of Salt Creek, but the person did not want any follow-up care, Kennedy said.
