💕thanks Kenny!

Not all protected bike lanes are created equal!

Culver City just made history, and it has something to do with these big boxy fortress style apartment buildings ….

Call the Assembly to pass SB 79! Please call your Assemblymember and urge them to vote YES on SB 79!

It's crunchtime, folks! SB 79, our bill to legalize apartments in transit rich areas of California, is about to go up for a vote! Call, text, and email! @cayimby.bsky.social
cayimby.org/call-sb-79/

I've watched many videos about how staircase requirements prevent us from building three-flats that historically brought gentle density to places like Chicago and San Francisco. Exciting to see my city doing something about it!

The rent is too damn high! Not building huge hallways in apartment complexes can help.

Single stair reform is coming to Culver City Council TONIGHT!

Our campaign wouldn’t have a shot if our elections had not been consolidated with the general. Holding elections in off years keeps turnout low and maintains the status quo

On the Westside, we feel this housing crisis every day.

Which is why I’m proud that Culver City, West Hollywood, and Santa Monica have all endorsed SB-79 to allow for more homes near transit, where they’re needed most.

Measure CL is supported by the local #CulverCity Democratic Club. Did you vote?

Measure CL is supported by a broad coalition from across the political spectrum including the @culvercitydemclub.bsky.social, Culver City Chamber of Commerce, Culver City Police and Fire, Downtown Culver City Business Association, and advocacy group @ourculver.bsky.social.

Vote yes today! ✅

hey Culver City, last week you should have received a ballot in the mail with just one yes or no question.

Here’s why you should vote ✅ YES ✅ on Measure CL 🗳️

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

have the people who thought Cuomo would win because "I stand with Israel" was the top issue for NYC Dem primary voters considered that maybe they are trapped in an information bubble by getting their news through a social media platform that isn't representative of reality?

Inspiring to watch a Muslim progressive win in the most Jewish city in the country.

We’re so much bigger than the big money PACs that try so hard to pit us against each other.

Big news! Last night, Culver City passed a budget with historic investments in:

🏡 93 affordable homes for low income families
💰 a brand new community-driven budget process
🧑‍💻 new grant writer / sr management position for parks and rec

Culver City is moving forward!

Today some cowards in face masks harassed and detained innocent people while they were at work.

This is shameless, disgusting racism and LA won't stand for it.

We will always stand up for our immigrant neighbors.

I’ll try to grab one for you Kenny 😊

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Culver City eliminated mandatory parking by a 3-2 vote in 2022.

A redline showing the old parking mandates versus Culver City’s amended parking regulation: “there shall be no minimum required parking for any use, except as may be determined through a Comprehensive Plan.” Almost everything else is repealed.

You can draw a straight line from Donald Shoup’s effective way of sharing his scholarship with the public to policy changes in hundreds of cities.

SFA is where I got my start in transpo policy so this was quite special

RIP professor and author Donald Shoup who showed us the heavy toll we all pay when we build communities around cars instead of people. He lived to see parking minimums be abolished in much of our cities thanks to @repfriedmanca.bsky.social and Shoup’s decades of research at UCLA.

Join us Wednesday, February 12th from 5-6pm for our next happy hour! We’ll be sitting down with newly-elected Culver City Councilmember and former SFA Steering Committee Member @bubbathefish.bsky.social Bring your best transportation questions and RSVP here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

New Bike Talk episode includes an interview with friend of the show, @bubbathefish.bsky.social as well as a clip from our chat with @michaelschneider.com -- as well a moving discussion with Altadena-based activist, Dorothy Wong.

Bikeshare stations and bike lanes everywhere. Rapid buses with 3 min headways. 55 kilometers of open streets every Sunday. ¡Viva CDMX!

I’m back home in Culver City and feeling inspired to help make our city even safer and easier to get around 🚴🚍🚏🚙👩‍🦽🚶👩‍🦯🤸‍♂️🌳

The journey begins!

It is the honor of a lifetime to represent you as your next Culver City Councilmember. Together, we can build a future that reflects the inclusive and forward-thinking spirit of our community. Let’s do this!

This win belongs to you, Culver City. Join us Monday at City Hall for a swearing in and afterwards at Rocco’s Tavern for a celebration.

People power prevails! 💪✊

Being able to ride from Westwood to Downtown LA in 20 minutes is going to totally and permanently alter the LA psyche, self conception, mental mobility map, housing markets, social networks, and so on.

in 1990 seattle grabbed swaths of land to upzone hoping to create 100k homes. the debate that upzones cause displacement is a myth. over the next 30 years, the black population cratered in single family zoned areas and grew where housing growth was allowed. density has saved our city’s diversity
