Metro Still Planning 605 Freeway Widening Mega-Project, Additional $46.9M Slated to be Approved This Week - Streetsblog Los Angeles Metro and Caltrans are planning a $4B+ highway expansion mega-project that would widen 15 miles of the 605 Freeway, plus several adjacent stretches of the 5, 10, 60, and 105 Freeways

I will never ever give Metro LA any credit for improving public transit when they're still trying to bulldoze my neighborhood. la.streetsblog.org/2026/04/20/m...

If you can buy a car made in China for less than $5k, why can't we buy it here? The average American spends $965/mth on their car and insurance. That's insane! 🤪 The Chinese car is all electric. & Its pink. I want one. #FuckTrump

I think a lot of people in LA don't really know what the city attorney does or who even holds the office, but Feldstein-Soto is an absolute train wreck and replacing her with Marissa Roy is one of the most important city races this cycle.

I don't think we should ban cars but nobody makes a more compelling case for it than drivers who argue that it is unreasonable to expect drivers not to kill people.

Ever feel like the state government and Congress are like two different groups of kids playing in separate sandboxes?

With the largest congressional delegation in the country, California has the power to make universal childcare a reality.

What landlord is paying you to advocate for stifling housing development? Landlords are the ones who benefit from the lack of competition

You: Increasing supply would probably do nothing. But a quashing demand, that’s the real solution.

You sound like a Californian (derogatory)

Greens to Announce Zohran Mamdani-Style Cost-of-Living Policies Like rent controls and workers getting at least 10% of what the CEO does.

PSA to European leftists: if you want to copy Zohran’s cost of living policies, you should know what those policies actually are.

and one of Zohran’s most important policies is making it easier to build a ton of housing by explicitly rejecting NIMBYism

I don’t get why YIMBY leftism isn’t more popular. Density is desegregation

it’s the only gen alpha slang I’ve adopted, I think it’s so funny

If you really think California goes red before it elects Katie Porter, I don’t think you should be taken seriously

and Queenslink! Queens deserves better transit

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
Mr. Mayor, please continue to support @queenslink.org just as you did when you were a State Assemblyman and when you campaigned for Mayor. Your home borough needs better public transit options linking north and south Queens, and QueensLink is one such option.

The dildo brigade is at the Fuck ICE protest in downtown Los Angeles today outside of the detention center

Are you familiar with Article 34 of the California Constitution? Public housing is essentially illegal to build in the state because local governments need voter approval.

If designed inclusively, cycling infrastructure offers independent mobility to those with physical impairments who are left behind by car dependence.

For many people housebound or reliant on others for transport, two—or three—wheeled travel isn’t just a form of movement, it’s a form of empowerment.

I’m really excited for their inevitable Percy Jackson phase

it's kind of funny how people don't include uncapping the house as one of the reforms that would probably be worthwhile doing

In a saner world this would be spent building out a safe bike lane network

Beta cuck city getting housing mogged by Chad state law

I’m glad she’s making it clear there’s only one serious progressive option and it’s not her

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

IMO every old streetcar route should AT LEAST get a dedicated bus lane

The strategy could be effective in a general. People not plugged in aren't voting in primaries though

Los Angeles’ housing crisis is self-inflicted. 

For decades, city leaders have taken deliberate actions to limit new housing.

Today, we announced our plan to fix this and triple housing production.

Vote for candidates who pledge to support green transportation. Support organizations working for green transpo (support Streetsblog!). And/or contact your Metro boardmember and tell them to stop widening freeways. boardagendas.metro.net/board-members/

you would think chiropractors were medically recommended by how often people talk about seeing one
