Love this! Thanks for sharing. Where do we put pressure to move faster? There are so many plans that feel stalled or approved and not moving forward.

I'm all for development around the stadium, but why stop there?
There's a huge open bus featured in the article that could be redeveloped, and the city or transit agencies could gain revenue streams to accelerate system growth. Here's how Paris did it:

That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted, so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the city’s fire budget increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget cycle, according to Blumenfield’s office, although overall concerns about the department’s staffing level have persisted for a number of years.
I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.
As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.
Do it here!
