I discovered a ghost town on California's central coast and made a video about it! (Ok, I didn't *discover* it, but you probably haven't heard of it either (: ). www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1-b...

I wonder how long these special edition LA Metro maps will stay up. Also, can I have one when they‘re taken down?

New fare gates have been installed at the 7th St/Metro Center station!

I'm going to say something politically contentious: "high quality" is higher quality.

My city put together this awesome map of public art: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v.... So many pieces I had never seen before. What's the wackiest one you can find? #art #publicart #santabarbara

Do you wish you had ridden the first train ever into LAX? Well I did! And I filmed it so you could come along too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3hK...

I can't stop looking at this poster.

A look down the newly-viewable tunnel toward Wilshire/La Brea from the Wilshire/Western stations! We’ll be riding in that tunnel soon people!

Just spotted an archaic use of the word “for” outside a coffee shop.

“The cities will be part of the country; I shall live 30 miles from my office in one direction, under a pine tree; my secretary will live 30 miles away from it too, in the other direction, under another pine tree. We shall both have our own car... —LE CORBUSIER (1967)”

We filled an entire parklet! They say no one supports more bike lanes...but then a bunch of urbanists meet and use every outdoor chair at a restaurant and there's still not enough. Way to go, Strong Towns Santa Barbara!

Checking out the new D Line stations from the bus thst I will stop riding once the D Line opens!

Sometimes you start with a "ville" and end up with a whole "town."

The mark of a good local urbanists meeting: you fill up the entire parklet.

Ok, can someone explain this? The sign said the next train to NoHo was in 16 minutes, but it pulled in 6 minutes after I took that picture. As the train pulled in, the other sign said the next train was in 8 minutes—even though it was right there!

Bike (*?) on the train. Oh yeah!

Anyone else in a Reformation-type mood today? #zoning #zoningreform #california

As someone who had environmental stewardship pounded into my head throughout elementary school, it feel weird to say this: it’s great that environmental review has gotten out of the way of urban multi family development in CA! www.latimes.com/california/s...

A lost era is still sometimes visible in Downtown LA.

The look on the dog’s face when I show him the dog toy store is closed.

When your parking lot is bigger than your attraction. Like 10X bigger.

W need protected lanes, people! A new study found that if every city expanded its bike lane network and redesigned streets to match Copenhagen, global walking and biking rates would increase by 412 billion miles per year — reducing emissions from private cars by 6%. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I love a restaurant with paper tablecloths!

Interesting that the LA curfew map lines up with the freeway donut that surrounds downtown. Maybe there should be an actual city with residents inside that space instead of office buildings, warehouses, and 30% of land as parking lots.

How do you like flight updates in the BRT station that leads to the airport @thetransitguy.com?

I think we need planning-themed Standup Comedy. There’s clearly and audience for it @strongtowns.org

Went on a tour of where the Freeway was torn down in Downtown Providence. 15 years later, most of the land has been filled in with offices, housing, a Trader Joe’s, and restaurants. The riverfront park is thriving. Let’s do more freeway removals!

This is my kind of bar! @nerd4cities.bsky.social

Hanging on the Providence Stoughton Line. First impression of the East Coast: wet.

LAX Metro Station is Open!

Bikes at the beach! A perfect conclusion to CycleMAYnia!

This still makes me chuckle. The 4th grader in me is alive and well.

We made it up the mountain! But are there any balls here?

Gawk at the Chalk (art).

The cost of sprawl...

State legislatures are fighting the housing crisis...from many fronts!

Maybe Gavin really did pay attention to Ezra Klein... www.sfchronicle.com/politics/joe...

Sneak peak of LA #Metro D Line station construction at Wilshire/Rodeo!

Please just tell me: WHICH FLOOR IS 2?!

June 6th, everyone! An opening date for the long-awaited LAX/Metro Transit Center has been announced. We are inching ever so close to having a rail connection at LAX! www.metro.net/projects/air...

Does your neighborhood have one of these? If its from after WWII, probably not. * Technical name: Accessory Commercial Unit. * Normal-person name: front yard business! I'll describe more about the comeback of these things in the thread.

One size *does not* fit all

Love this work-around! But what are things you can't make in an airfryer? www.youtube.com/shorts/_O0rL...

Has the author of this article ever heard of a 3-story building? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/m...

Not sure where there's still empty land inside Seattle city limits to build SF, but there's nothing like an ADU to prove zoning reform, done properly, works! www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The 20 most walkable cities in the world, all of them located in Europe, with Milan topping the list and Bilbao in fourteenth position. Data from The Economist study 'A universal framework for inclusive cities of 15 minutes', depicts the average time that someone has to walk to reach daily needs.
