I'm sold on the benefits, but your diagrams illustrate the need to pair single stair reform with open space requirements and the elimination of parking minimums. I am a bit concerned about what Americans would do with point access alone

I want these events to be about that future, but outside of a few booths (Streets For All, etc) most of the people and orgs represented do not. LADoT had two booths staffed by community outreach consultants who didn’t know what HLA was. Most of the politicians represented don’t get it

It was fine. Maybe I’d prefer it if it meant MORE events instead of the it being the only way to have them. The fans were out in force and they seemed happy. Biggest disappointment was that my free Stranger Things(tm) bike light doesn’t play “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)”

It’s amazing how much of the internet is just shoveling us mildly credible things we want to believe. Feels like it’s all confirmation of priors

Americans won’t even listen to experts from the same field if they’re from a different country

who hasn't been inspired by the vibrant color of painter's tape when selecting trim colors?

(also, aren't there more than one painters? painters' tape?)

Easier mountain passes seems a bigger factor than the port itself for Los Angeles? Otherwise, Oakland/Alameda could have dominated

Gotta undo that splitting of 12th and buy some land from UP

Not that it matters, but the picture shows *The* 101 in downtown Los Angeles
