They know that imo. They just don’t believe that voters will care

Why so? I believe in consolidation for sure, but wouldn’t it be as one big city of LA and not ceding it all to the county?

It costs less money than in the UK! High sticker prices don’t reflect actual costs to students

No one wants to believe that there is real disagreement. It’s much easier to believe the other side is just dumb or uneducated.

Yeah absolutely agree there. I see Waymo trialing their new purpose built cars near me all the time. I think smaller personal taxis the size of golf carts will probably take over.

Robotaxis will be an enormous good if they get people to give up private car ownership and we can then get rid of free curbside parking.

Idt he’s proposing reassigning them. That would never work. Just buying them out or move them to other lines.

NYC housing is so bad that it makes me glad I live in LA. Will a 1 Br have to hit 8k a month for people to wake up?

As someone who will get an MD, PhD...only MDs should be called Dr in a clinical setting.

A lot of white parents don’t like the outcomes that fair systems eg SAT/ACT only create. So lots of mental gymnastics to justify anything else but that.

Also Blue-> Red state so they’re sacrificing safety and a safety net.

Ehhh, consolidation is not going to solve the structural problem here. These hospitals are basically designed to lose tons of public money, and there's very little incentive from anyone to whip them into shape e.g. drop $$ losing services, layoffs, close beds.

They’re trying to close SUNY Downstate so not clear merging into the public system would help
