I've lived in LA for almost 5 years now and about 4.5 of those have been without a car and it's kind of amazing how much better off I've been without it.

LA's Planning Department has released their report on SB 79. I'll have further comments later, but my initial reaction is that I'm incredibly impressed at the level of analysis and quality of work Planning was able to accomplish in such a short period of time cityclerk.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2...

LOST OUT ON $100 MILLION IN GRANT FUNDS for Active Transportation Projects⁉️ The City doesn't have the staff to implement these grants due to budget/staffing cuts. ✂️ Budget season is NOW! Create your own LA budget at mylabudget.lacontroller.app & submit to your Council Member!

The LA City Council Field Deputy spreadsheet has been updated for 2026. Use it, especially if you have issues with your landlord. Your councilmember’s office can help and as a bonus it helps us all when your CM knows what their constituents are dealing with.

I don't want to be a vulnerable road user. I just want to get around.

I love this map and it is a reminder of one of my problematic robert moses takes that we should turn west adams into a giant sepulveda basin sized reservoir/lake

Melrose was supposed to undergo a complete streets makeover from Highland to Fairfax that would have installed stormwater gardens to mitigate flooding, among other critical safety improvements. The previous councilmember killed the project

Pacific Surfliner is stuck at Union Station and I've never seen something like this before. Rain is leaking through the entire observation car. "When it rains it pours.", the conductor said.

LAPD was the biggest gang in LA before ICE.

When I first heard about the Charter Reform process that LA was undertaking, I was so naively hopeful about it all. Now whenever I hear about it, it's cause the commission has been a total mess 😭

Watching the Super Bowl at a gay bar, I’ve got the Halftime Show and gay porn all in one view 💙

I went to bed last night disappointed that Horvath opted to stay out of the LA Mayor's race only to wake up and excitedly find that my Councilmember, Nithya Raman, decided to jump into the fray!

I like Nithya Raman cause she sticks to her beliefs. Not in the stubborn sense, but rather she doesn’t simply follow the political headwinds. She carves an often unpopular path forward because she earnestly believes it’s the right thing. That’s what we need to defeat NIMBYism in this city #LA

It’s a busy and beautiful day on a new LA Metro B Line train 💙

I’ve spoken with Nithya Raman a number of times now, particularly about housing and public transportation, and I would be THRILLED to have her as Mayor of LA.

Thank you Katy Yaroslavsky for your leadership. Enough is enough. michaelschneider.medium.com/las-darkest-...

Huge students march in North Hollywood! Caught the tail end of them as I was on my bike passing through

Anti-ICE school walkout protest in North Hollywood

I looove the LA City Hall Observation Deck 💙

City transportation official opts for white line and signage instead of gate to keep their baby off the stairs.

I’m aware that some are unfollowing me because I’m posting “political” things (that’s a bizarre word for the evil and insanity that’s happening). To each their own. I find it surreal that other urbanists are just posting normal city-building content like everything’s normal. It sure as hell isn’t.

I got some LA Metro transit themed art for my office at work, I love them so much! The artist is @mettimart.bsky.social, and you can order some prints of your own at mettimart.com/shop

I started a job in IT a few months back and as a lifelong nosy ass bitch it's been really fun to get brief glimpses into the world of the users I help out. But on the other hand, people look to me for solutions and when I *don't* immediately know how to solve their problem it's really stressful! 😥

Long Beach vowed to eliminate deadly crashes; instead, they’re the highest in over a decade lbpost.com/news/long-be...

Went hiking yesterday and forgot to post these pics

There’s something about the new LA Metro B Line trains, everyone is so joyous on this train 😭

it seems your mother has made international headlines

The true thanks goes to @fema.monster for all of his work in curating and hosting the Urbanism+ feed and labeler!

Heads up hearing from a lot of people that ICE is back in Little Tokyo

LA River says Abolish ICE

He’s baaaack And big mad!!

People seem to like this Sepulveda Transit Corridor rec more than I expected. I actually think it's kind of...bad? Feels like a decision made to appease the Sherman Oaks Homeowner's Association (and the NC) moreso than bc it's what the people want or bc it provides better service. #urbanism+

I'm an LA two, but a deep space nine.

Serving Anna Wintour today wearing my sunglasses indoors cause I started getting a migraine as soon as I got in to the office 🙃

Our city is not only doing close to zero street maintenance, but they’re also slow walking Measure HLA implementation as a result. Very sad state of affairs. This isn’t what the voters voted for.

LA has surrendered to the potholes: @michaelschneider.com and I have a piece in the LA Times today about how the city has stopped repaving our streets. (Also thank god for great headline writers at actual newspapers!)

Renting a Wombi e-bike for a month or two for funsies and I did a stress test with a big Costco run! The people who say “but how will I get my groceries without an SUV???” have zero imagination. #urbanism+ #bikesky #LA

hey sometimes you get a chance to actually have your voice heard. tell LA leaders we need a more walkable city! www.mobilityactionplanla.org/survey

Karen Bass's solution to avoid having to build bike lanes? Just stop repaving streets all together.

Brings me great pain when my 761 bus (one of the few remaining rapid lines) is a short, non-accordion bus 😭

The Van Nuys Airport and the 405 make navigating between the East and West Valley on a bike in a *safe* manner so difficult #SFV #LA

Hate when the bus driver actually stops at the yellow light

After consistently breaking the law, losing in court, wasting its residents’ tax dollars, & embodying the worst of NIMBYism, Huntington Beach must do what I always said it must: BUILD. MORE. HOUSING We’re in a housing crisis Do your part Build your fair share I insist

The CIty of LA leaders are going to the bad place for shit like this smh

I’d like to hold the city of Los Angeles in contempt

Why is there more roadkill than ever before in Los Angeles? Lingering effects of the pandemic may be partly to blame. xtown.la/2025/12/16/l... @streetsblogla.bsky.social

Why are more animals than ever being run over on Los Angeles streets?
