Shout out @metrolosangeles.bsky.social for the quick switch on the Expo train after someone hit a utility pole. Only had to wait five minutes for a replacement train. 🫑

Zohran Mamdani and the Rise of the Renter Politicians From city councils to Congress, homeowners have always dominated elected office. But after Mamdani’s victory, a slew of candidates want to follow in his footsteps.

You don't need to own property to have a say in the future of a community. That's why we're recruiting renters to lead. newrepublic.com/article/2076...

It is! I rode my bike all of the time in Chicago and Saint Louis. I rarely do here in LA after I was hit a couple of times. Nothing serious but still jarring.

Every time I think about riding mi bike, I think about this and have been chickening out more times than I’d like to admit.

I'm seriously so fucking sick of people using the e-bikers are lazy trope. And even if you *are* able-bodied and use an e-bike, who the fuck cares? Getting somewhere faster and not all sweaty is fantastic.

How an electric bike can protect your money as another oil shock hits Over $100 per barrel and rising, the oil shock of 2026 in its early days could still surpass the levels

How an electric bike can protect your money as another oil shock hits.

The argument for fossil fuels is ending, but so too is the argument for relying on cars for journeys of under five miles.

Here's some numbers to convince:

Most Americans don’t vote because the system works against us and most are focusing on surviving and also to mention the huge propaganda machine.

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.

And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how β€œthe richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

State law puts more homes near train stops. If LA wants to delay that, it must pick areas to upzone L.A. leaders opposed SB 79. Now that it’s law, the city is scrambling to delay some of its provisions until 2030.

The elected officials in the City of Los Angeles never fail to disappoint. The lengths they'll go to stop denser and more affordable housing near transit is beyond me. If you build transit, you need to build dense housing around it.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Los Angeles needs money. Airbnb says the way to get it is to loosen the rules on short-term rentals (STRs). But what if instead
the City enforced those rules? This analysis examines the potential role of STRs in generating revenue for the City of Los Angeles. Under the 2018 Los Angeles Home Sharing Ordinance (HSO), it is a violation for a host to list a noncompliant STR and it is a violation for a platform to book a noncompliant STR. Policy enforcement began in late 2019; the citation amounts today are $625 daily per noncompliant listing and $1,250 per noncompliant booking. Noncompliance under the
HSO is widespread. During the program thus far, the City has issued $2.1 million in fines, and through the first five years, collected just $472,000-an
annualized revenue for those years of $95,000. We find that since 2019 the City could have issued $5.2 billion in citations. If collected, this would have yielded $850 million on
average each year. HSO Noncompliance Creates a
Largely Untapped Revenue Stream Amid the threats noncompliant STRs pose to communities and to the housing market, it is important to acknowledge one of the few opportunities they provide: revenue generation. Consider the parking meter: it is simple to comply with well-understood parking rules, but some percentage of people, some of the time, will flout the rules. We do not need to condone these parking violations to appreciate the $133.5 million in fines they contribute to the city's
coffers annually.22 Thus far, the widespread HSO noncompliance has been a woefully untapped resource. The 1,374 citations issued by the City represent 0.17 percent of the total 777,145 noncompliant listings and transactions identified in this BNLA analysis. In December 2025 alone, Granicus reported 5,160 noncompliant STR listings with known addresses; yet that same month, DCP reported the issuance of a total of 15 citations-less than one-third of one percent. As a share of the total potential fines of $5.2 billion, the
actual fines of $2.1 million represent a mere 0.04 percent. The total (actual) fine revenue from the first five years of the program came to $472,434-about $95,000 annually.23 For fines issued in 2025, $195,000 has been collected thus far. BNLA finds that potential fine revenue has been $850 million annually.24 Within that
yawning gap lies an opportunity for easy, if unfortunate revenue. For the initial years of the HSO, STRs generated an average TOT income of $34 million per year. Fining program noncompliance might have generated income of $70 million-per month. If the City were to start collecting the potential fines from noncompliant listings and transactions today, in two months the City would generate over $95 million, without any voter referendum or
change in policy. If the City were to collect a mere five percent of the potential fines for noncompliance, the annual revenue stream ($42 million) would regularly exceed the annual TOT revenue currently generated by
STRs citywide ($34 million).

A new Better Neighbors report says if LA started actually enforcing its short-term rentals, the city would rake in $40 to $50 million each month β€” "more than any measure the city is currently proposing for the ballot to raise revenue."

Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
