Hahah nope.. we’re paying the price and road diets, transit construction, and bike lanes are as much needed improvements aswell as damage control for the lack of foresight we had back in the day..
Put all our eggs into one basket and now that basket is congested.

So you support impeding the flow of vehicles, and you still support the city's vertical growth?

The politicians just don’t seem to care though .

Bonin rides his bike to work which is fun but shouldn’t push it on the rest of the city , he has access to a shower and clean clothes when he gets to work unlike most in L.A.

Bonin is known to ride his bike all the way from Venice to City Hall where a shower and clean clothes await him. An amenity I’m sure your boss provides at your place of employ, right?

But Mike Bonin has been peddling something that’s got constituents of the mild-mannered councilman famous for his blue shirts seeing red. Gridlock. Deliberate gridlock.

Yeah, I heard that as well. I'm really glad that show illustrates how this city is being ruined with idiotic policies.

Yeah , they seem to be the only local media voice that is really telling the truth. The local news is totally sunshine and unicorns. I guess they've probably been paid off long ago.



Anybody that is a native of this city or has lived here many years can see things have degraded significantly. From tents and trash etc taking up sidewalks and mentally ill homeless harassing people wherever they go, to a increase in crime. Who knows the real crime stats since LAPD has been caught fudging the numbers. Many have just given up reporting crime also due to the soft on crime laws. The police aren't so motivated to even come out unless it's a murder.

How many ways can LA politicians fail their city??? They seem to have covered every single way and then some. Time to get some new "red" blood in there before LA collapses on itself

Think about it - would you risk your life and lose all that income ?
They won't come out for a murder if there's a chance they'll get swarmed- they will wait till there's back up a plenty- then go in en mass

Hopefully the business owners are talking up regime change for everyone's good!
