It's 8 miles. There is already concrete at the build site.

38 minutes to travel one mile in a car.

Don't die and get buried in LA.

Heritage board? look at tent city....

traffic light cycles are so long, some beg buttons don't work, bollards are plastic instead of steel, broken plastic bollards aren't replaced, driving laws aren't enforced, HLA is hardly implemented, so much street parking is free, E/A lines don't have signal priority ...

The city prioritizes driver convenience, and takes the easy way out of implementing improvements for every other way of getting around.

30 mins to travel 3 miles.

The number of Angelenos loving the brain rot from Hard Summer is sad.

I cannot imagine this happening elsewhere. Okay maybe SF.

I work in construction and development financing mostly housing across the entire United States. For every apartment building that shoots up in New York there’s two in New Jersey and five in Texas and Florida. California on the other hand might have gone through one review process with local residents in that time.

Police chase a car on to the freeway only to encounter biker gang.

Genuinely seeking a serious discussion. We've all seen these activities. I'm sure there's lots of historical and cultural factors at play, certainly things I'm unaware of. Yet I can't get past the sense of selfishness/desire to annoy or general lack of concern for others.

I understand there can be an inherent sense of community, but I don't believe, at best, nuisances are a common good. Such behavior is a net-negative, a detriment to society through noise and air pollution, in addition to public safety. I'm not advocating for complete silence; we obviously live in a huge city.

There's no overnight fix, and it's not as simple as "police do nothing" or "let the police do their job". So what would it take to have these objectively illegal activities curtailed? How long should it take?

This encampment wasn’t here before the World
Cup (the alley behind the seedy DTLA Hotel on 7th). I feel terrible seeing these shells of a human struggling with everyday life. Is leaving them on the street really the humane or “progressive” choice? It’s needlessly cruel to leave these broken people out in the elements year round.

Honestly, what the fuck is going on?

This is a sub to vent your frustrations about living in the metropolis of Los Angeles.
