We are launched! Gumbo is a short film about a gangster who wants to be a chef, but then his boss makes him do a hit. Passions and responsibility intersect in this one location thriller. It's Ratatouille meets goodfellas.

every single headline I see coming out of LA lately makes me think that their elected leadership is trying to turn the city into an unaffordable version of Dallas

how much is metro board's resistance to the K line vs Sepulveda just them not wanting to drive on the 405, vs not being able to imagine people not driving around the basin? 405 seems intuitive, we need an alternative. there's resistance to everything else

Today a Metro Board Committee postponed approving an alternative for the Northern K Line light rail extension. Not a good sign for L.A. County rail expansion. The K Line alignment goes to a vote of the full board next week.

NIMBYS saying "we're not against transit" in their comments, is just political cover for NIMBY politicians. They are blatantly anti transit. it's a political gambit.

I have had NIMBYs say this to me explicitly. They believe that because they purchased in a single family zone, they therefore have a property right that would be violated if it were upzoned.

For those that missed the metro board committee meeting today: Karen Bass is officially moving full steam ahead on trying to ratfuck what would be the highest ridership light rail line in the country next week, over unscientific tunneling concerns identical to fred rosen's in bel air.

New research from Pew quantifies the extent of the success of YIMBYism in Austin: after a huge run up in prices over the 2010s, the city dramatically liberalized and kicked off a building boom. Now rents are falling.

Austin’s Surge of New Housing Construction Drove Down Rents
After decades of explosive growth, Austin, Texas, in the 2010s was a victim of its own success. Lured by high-tech jobs and the city’s hip reputation, too many people were competing for too few homes....

My king with the correct take. The Oscars exist to generate revenue for the Academy and their archive + preservation efforts, mostly.

All of these reactions to this post a really funny to me because i was in metro zoom meetings having discussions and arguments about this alignment way back in 2021. blue sky is 5-8 years behind on K line transit discourse.
