More like he didn't want to get recalled lol .

$180,000 yr+ to be a councilman and just come up with bad idea after bad idea is a pretty sweet gig .

One other recent example of what they get paid to do

None of what they do actually benefits the people that voted them in .




The road diet is just the latest fail of many fails courtesy of the out of touch idiots running the city.

Yes. The road diet in Mar Vista is still in its infancy.
Therefore, the article you've quoted is irrelevant considering data has yet to be fully analyzed.

When you're old enough to drive, you'll understand how frustrating traffic can be -- particularly when our streets were never intended for our current population density. As I've previously stated, developers have set our growth policies rather than those whose job it is to act on our best interests for the greatest good of society.

Still waiting on that data

Im very aware of the implications of traffic, which is why I made the savvy decision to purchase my property in a walkable area - in order to take full advantage of alternative means of transport.

You dont move into an urban mecca and complain of the populous.

This isnt the 1950s anymore buddy. Density is the future.

Doug Mcintyre just had Bonan on 790 AM. He is a professional politician and to the easy to fool or the uninformed or the gullible he sounded very good.
Doug can't really go after these guys or none of them will ever come on his show so he didn't argue with him as well as he could have. Bonan continued with his up yours , I'm going to do whatever I want attitude.

There are the McIntyre's of the world but also the John Kobel's. The entire ideal that I have a house in a neighborhood so I can blockade everyone else is an act of war and Bonin will be the first target hopefully the other representatives will learn the lesson that they can't block a public highway.

Perhaps one day we get to the point that because you jammed things up in your selfishness that nobody finds it worthwhile to travel to your neighborhood to deliver your groceries, be a cashier or give you a staff working at anyplace that you want to walk to. But then you are stuck behind your own roadblock and can't get to a walkable place..

The problem is these people want to create some kind of European hamlet or village experience right in the 2nd largest city in America .
With a bunch of people biking or taking their Vespas to work.
That's just not the reality in L.A and it's not what most people want . But these politicians do not care about the people only for their own little pet project fantasies and that becomes more clear each day.

The traffic that does peel off of those congested main arteries tends to be of the aggressive frustrated kind. Some of it ends up cutting through narrow neighborhood streets. And not at 25mph. I'm here, I see it.

Not hating, but Venice had the normal bike lane thru that stretch before, local cyclists will tell you it served them well for years.

I hope all these supposed benefits come to fruition, but so far I'm not seeing any of that.

Are you the real Vanilla Ice? If so that would be pretty awesome.
