daniel_callahanLos Angeles considers ending parking requirements. Currently, all condos that don't provide parking are illegal. If you refuse to build parking, they will refuse your project.
robocallSouthern California has some of the best weather for bicycling in America. They should invest in bike infrastructure instead of catering to cars.
I’m all for bike infrastructure but LA is already so wide and sprawling it seems like it would take herculean effort to make it cyclable at this point.
I just want to ride a bike without constant fear of death. LA is statistically one of the most dangerous cities to ride a bike. I don’t care if it’s far—10 miles away and not dealing with bumper to bumper traffic sounds great to me, if I’m likely to arrive with my skull still in tact.
You’re right. Perfection is the enemy of better. Anything is better than nothing. I guess I just give up too easily.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 I dunno, man. I kinda agree with the first comment, even just to get it good enough would be a massive thing. That doesn’t mean impossible and it shouldn’t be tried, just… It does seem extra hard in a city that size that’s already built poorly for cars.
It’s just a lot of green paint on the streets. No big deal.
Don’t forget to paint the little man riding a bicycle too otherwise people won’t know what the green paint is about
Someone should invent bike lane highways with magnetic fields that can wirelessly power ebikes. The bikes wouldn’t need batteries, people would be encouraged to stay on the lane for the extra speed, and it would be easy to offramp and ride locally when you get where you’re going.
Can we have jumps in some places?
Well, they don’t.
When you put it like that, what was I thinking!?
Okay but what if instead of that we subsidized safaris where you sit in the back of a convertible and shoot pedestrians as the driver takes you around?
