is that bad?

holy shit, Schindler’s Lovell beach house just hit the market for $18.8m

‘Quality of life’ metrics should take into account number of attractive singles, I can’t imagine Columbus OH would be doing so hot

Doing "single-stair reform" that requires a second stairway on the outside of the building might be the most San Francisco thing I've ever seen

this WRB somehow makes me think of LBJ

My father always talks about how great it was taking the bus w/ zero traffic from Irvine to LA to see all sorts of sports, from fencing to volleyball

the NYTimes publishing ranked lists

it's still Josh's birthday in LA so here is our finest brutalist bldg

Now taking recommendations for BURGUNDY

I’m hearing disturbing reports that the restaurant at the Bonaventure is no longer rotating

annoyed I had to learn who Ed Sheeran was today

new fall cycle of movie nights, popcorn & wine chez moi

Astrology is silly but it did give us Constance Collier in this clip so probably worth it overall youtu.be/IHYJSJuoO48

Thanks to everyone who's come out for movie nights w/ wine & popcorn at my place over the last year; next cycle to be announced soon

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

Jfc she’s the worst

"Her platform focuses on technocratic solutions like the theoretically best possible zoning policies rather than building power for the working-class by challenging capital." Good thing LA's zoning status quo is not devastating the city's working class or anything.

still laughing at Nithya Raman standing in front of some prominent permit expediters & saying “I don’t think we should need expediters in LA”

I love my new Civic hatchback but it feels SO MUCH BIGGER than my Fit

If you want to know why it feels like there is no direction or vision in LA, this is why. The LA establishment is stuck 50 years in the past, serving people like the Sherman Oaks HOA who want all the opportunity of being a global city while pretending their neighborhood is a village.

Imagine Karen Bass pronouncing ‘tlayuda’

I'm listening to Nithya Raman at the #CAInfillSummit in LA and she appears to know enough about the building plan check process in LA to know it doesn't work. This is something rare in a politician.

Closed communion is short for we think you’re all insane

This is also true in building code reforms. Getting your city/state to allow 6-story single-stair bldgs is great on paper. But if its only possible with a 50%+ larger pressurized stairwell that likely no one will build, at that point are you really allowing single-stair buildings?

Now accepting recommendations for CLEVELAND

Incredible content

Fond memories of trying to express this sentiment in French to Parisians & it going over like a lead balloon

have you ever thought about how cool buildings are
