Draft evasion is a felony. You're basically asking for ppl to throw away their futures for a scenario that you had no idea what it was like
It's easy for us to judge back then but if defending principles mean prison, the average person would avoid prison
Omg the pearl clutching in these comments is unreal. Any person with respectable principals will rather themselves die than murder innocent people. The people whose names are on this monument died anyway - I'm sure prison was preferable in all circumstances.

I grew up poor. WIC, Medi-Cal, Free Lunch, etc.
And no, fast food wasn't the "cheap option." It was a treat for when I got good grades. We ate rice, tofu, chicken, and green beans for most of our meals, all rather cheap and calorie dense foods
oh man this is it. this is the caught-with-your-pants-down moment for this idiot. low income communities very much rely on fast food as the cheap option for their families. everyone knows this. if you’re a data/policy nerd, you have no business not knowing this.

Prop 13 protects the homeowners class of the 20th century by robbing the future from Millennials and Gen Z
Florida is often treated like the butt of the joke, but a tax system based primarily on property taxes is far more stable than CA’s boom and bust cycles driven by cap gains / income swings

Do these people realize how insulting it is for the homeless and low-income to wanna prioritize using SHIPPING CONTAINERS as housing rather than having developers build actual housing with insulation, HVAC, and I dunno if this is that important but... dignity?
The cruel irony of knowing shipping containers are easily retrofitted to make nice homes and then using dozens or hundreds of them to build walls to keep unhoused people out while demolishing a park that they call home.

This is why YIMBYs must be pro transit as well. If we are going to support density, we need to make it significantly easier to build transit. Being able to move tens of thousands of people in an hour is needed to optimize economic growth
Whether we have the space to move more & more people as cities grow, plus room for all the OTHER important things that make streets & cities great, depends ENTIRELY on HOW we choose to move. And how design makes better choices easier or harder. HT

If LA were to implement this, this would upzone nearly every nook and cranny due to the sheer amount of bus stops with two or more lines cutting through it
The law will require municipalities to designate Transit Oriented Development Areas within:
🚆 800 metres of rapid transit stations
🚌 400 metres of major bus exchanges
Building height and allowable density will increase the closer they are to the transit hub.

Whether ppl wanna admit it or not, LA is a major transit underdog. We are considering automated trains for Sepulveda as well, improved safety, improving headways, and made some work on standardizing our station design. Legacy systems seem to constantly plateau
How have we as a country gotten to the point where *Los Angeles* is the only major metro area doing any significant work on its metro? LA also passed Chicago in total ridership last year.

Meanwhile, Emreyville, Berkeley, and Austin are showing rent prices dropping by the month by upzoning and/or permit streamlining, yet not a peep from the old guard Democrats
Corrupt real estate developers are gentrifying neighborhoods and forcing working families out of the homes and apartments, only to replace them with fancy condominiums and hotels that only the very rich can afford.

In Hollywood, a lot of people don't even bother picking up after their dogs in spite of the city providing little trashcans meant for such so ppl don't have to carry dog waste with them on their walks

She’s right. A community park in Chinatown had to stop growing tulips because white dog owners kept polluting it with their dog poop. As working class families bleed out and wealthy, mostly white, childless people move in, this will be more of a problem.

Like Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin, this heavy emphasis on mid rise and low rise apartments is contributing to the longstanding housing crisis in Brooklyn. No doubt high density can be achieved without high rises but that's only one piece of the puzzle. We need to meet demand
There are no skyscrapers in this view of Brooklyn. But with 5-12 story urbanism, you can build pretty much anything. Actually, traditional cities before elevators achieved champion densities at 5-7 stories. There is no magic story number, but low-mid-rise can get the job done.

It's not coming for another couple of decades. We need a lot of reforms to have it come sooner
If you could add one new heavy rail/metro rapid transit line that would generate the most ridership per mile in that metro area, which would it be? More interested in corridor & endpoints rather than elevated/tunnel or automated/non-automated, but be as specific as you like...

Normies expect shovels in the ground soon after these projects are announced. There's really no reason to do years worth of equity and environmental studies for transit, something that's been agreed for decades to be great for the aforementioned reasons
the upgrades to this bus route passed with a wide margin 9 years ago and because seattle undermines democracy through "outreach" this 6 year planned route will probably be watered down by the minority of voters who failed to defeat it at the ballot box.

Asking someone about their ancestral background is one thing. Asking someone where they're REALLY from can be insulting because it does imply a sense of them not belonging in the US.
If one is curious of someone's ethnic background, then just ask that. It's more direct at least

Los Angeles rail is way better than many people would assume. The only reason why the reputation isn't ideal is because LA has major cultural power, it's associated with cars, and our rail transit just isn't reaching its full potential

These sorts of people are one of the biggest reasons as to why YIMBYs are, for the lack of better term, snarky
Lots of data showing an increase in supply causes price drops and when there's a 100% affordable housing project, ppl will bitch about parking and "blocked views."

NIMBYs have:
- Worked overtime to block new housing, ignoring the fact their houses were once new development
- Fought for perpetually increasing property values but ignore whether their own kids can afford it
You guys have a victim complex. It's pathetic and very embarrassing
@yinyang_yo_
NIMBY’s are an invented category which is designed to denigrate and blame people who live in an area they like.

Fake environmentalists in the super orange Bel Air neighborhood working overtime to block the single bore tunnel going under them for heavy rail
this is what climate action looks like:
dense, mixed-income apartment buildings next to the train in a beachfront community with a Mediterranean climate requiring minimal AC/heating.
Hundreds of buildings like this should be built in cities on the California coast.

Fetterman really should assume a defacto leadership role in the Democratic Party. He's got the winning formula

Finding out that the term "containerized trash" is some highfalutin term for trash cans was a major trip..

This post is a strawman. No one is criticizing him for moving. He's being criticized for telling NA urbanists to give up
This was not something ppl took out of context, he doubled down entirely

CA Legislators really had decades to exempt CAHSR from CEQA and protect it from all sorts of litigation, yet they didn't
CEQA is making the CAHSR waste a good deal of the funding we beg the federal government for
We’ve environmentally cleared 422 of the project’s 494 miles!
By this summer, the Palmdale to Burbank section’s environmental document will be considered by our Board.
If approved, we will have completely cleared the 463 miles from downtown SF to LA Union Station.

Major cities in East Asia doubled or tripled in size within a decade during the post WW2 era. European cities didn't get the same type of population growth. They showed that high rises are necessary for meeting huge demand shocks. European urbanists need to take many seats

Literally, every kid wants everything to be a short walking distance from their house. These ppl are taking the 15 minute part way too literally
They're acting like the Gestapo will take them away or something with their persecution complexes
