Extremely Californian thing to be like “yeah I could never afford to move to my neighborhood today” and then just move on as if it’s not a problem

True but parking is also evil

That's why we need both congestion pricing and a parking tax!

Cars without congestion pricing are a net loss for the consumer and society.

Nithya for Mayor Nithya Raman is running for Mayor of Los Angeles.

Let's get us a great mayor!

Thank you for helping make this happen, Congresswoman! I am proud to be your constituent, and I look forward to seeing you continue to work to hold all at ICE accountable for their crimes and human rights abuses.

I just donated to @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social because our city needs a pro-housing mayor.

And LA matches contributions 6:1 up to $257. So if you live in the City and can donate $257, her campaign will receive $1,799!! Go to secure.actblue.com/donate/nithy...

Electrification of transportation is a national security and economic resilience strategy, which would work well for this exact scenario we are in right now.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Many such cases

Anne Frank wasn't sent to a gas chamber, she died of typhus.

A now NBA player once stole a table from me at a hibachi restaurant

For $1 billion a day we could add enough solar panels to double the generating capacity of the US grid in less than five years.

There’s a lot wrong with this report: their methods of analyzing safety are poor: they don’t attempt to quantify the safety benefits of dual-stair reqs. But the most galling? A 7-12.5% cost savings is cited as meager.

10% decrease in hard costs would build A LOT of of housing in this state!

Firefighters are terrible at evaluating risk:

- Requiring all passengers in cars to wear helmets: would save 350 lives a year in California

- Requiring small apartment buildings to have a second staircase: saves zero lives a year in California

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

It sucks we have to wait until 2028 to get better Metrolink weekend service. Weekend demand is 82% of weekday even with much worse service, and ridership recovery is much higher for weekend than weekday!

If you’re following LA politics, make sure to follow @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social. It’s a new account just created for the campaign, so you’re probably not following yet!

43,000 people just in the City sleep on the streets every night because LA doesn't have enough housing and our City *actively* works to block housing from being built.

We need changes in leadership. We need @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social to be our next Mayor.

Ride transit. LA Metro fare stays at $1.75

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of old people until we figure out what the hell is going on

Wait, what? Which legislators and by which urbanists?

Very important project. This is just a design open house, not a hearing, but this project is one we will absolutely need to show up for in support.

I chose the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Only my second time there, the first being when I first visited SoCal in 2021. Still too much space surrendered to cars, but much less shitty than I remember back then!

And I wasn't even watching any TV, both were just from passing by. I guess that's what happens when a billionaire runs for Governor

Saw myself on TV not once, but twice today thanks to Tom Steyer

And Phase 1 of the Extension will especially be impactful for me. There's a lot of places there I want to go to more often than I do, because it's hard to get to. My life will change on May 8, when I'm able to ride the D to get to those valuable destinations.

I'm so excited for the D to get longer. As a Downtowner who does not own a car, the @metrolosangeles.bsky.social D Line Extension will genuinely change my life. I can't wait to ride the D.

The D Line will not just transform LA, it will transform my own life.

It’s hard to overstate the degree to which human progress in the 20th century was the answer to 100,000 years of our species’ prayers. Democracy delivered by progressive values. Prosperity for normal people ineffable to 10,000 years of kings - all delivered by progressive governance.

Not the point but this first claim is objectively untrue. The world is generally speaking the safest it’s ever been. Extreme poverty, deaths by violence/disease/war, and so much more are at historic lows. Progressives conjured miracles in the 20th c. The problem is the troglodytes unraveling this.

I want to do some exploring tomorrow but I don't know where
