Cut out the middleman. Efficiency in government.

It’ll be so wonderful once this building is operational. The contractors holding this up should be sued out of existence.

This is an engineering problem, not an enforcement problem. If that many people are speeding, the road is designed to comfortably drive that fast. If Malibu really wants to slow down drivers, it needs to redesign the road to make drivers’ natural speed slower.

Literally the only thing missing here is to ensure that there are interesting and useful places within a short walk. Stores, restaurants, bars, transportation options, and jobs. This is the neighborhood I want to live in.

This year’s Vuelta showed just how dominant Tadej has become. The racing was reminiscent of a decade ago since his crash on Stage 8. Breakaways getting five+ minute gaps & staying away all day. GC fights only on the last mountain. This isn’t how modern racing due to Tadej’s strength & UAE’s tactics.

With the transit center directly in the middle, there's no reason other than car brain why this can't be a world-class destination instead of a deadbeat wasteland. Much of the parking needs to be high density use to bring it closer to how cool a ballpark should be (Padres, Cubs, etc.)

Welcome to Bluesky. Please familiarize yourself with the following accounts to understand the range of opinions it is acceptable to express.

Ever wondered if the filament you're printing will stick to the build plate you're using? Every time someone tests this, it stays in their head. What if instead, we shared standard test results? willitstick.fyi is my attempt at community science for plate/bed adhesion. #3dprinting

California housing folks, does HCD have a consolidated list of housing element sites? Their website says they have a map, but it's really just a map of surplus sites. I want to map all of the identified housing sites from every city's housing element across a county or region.

I picked up some new pieces of “art” over the weekend. I’ve given them backstories. These are portraits painted in the 1980s of son and grandson of the TailSpin version of Shere Khan. They might be the most ridiculous things I own now.

1/3% of all residents of the City of Los Angeles are currently in line to borrow Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey from the LA Public Library. Who says movies dissuade people from reading?

For the past couple of years, I've been working to set up the South Bay Cities Regional Housing Trust. At the first Board meeting for the Trust, I presented on Affordable Housing 101. This was my very first slide, "Building housing costs money."

Please, Mr. Traffic Engineer, may I cross the street?

Pern Pla just rolls off the tongue.

I mentioned the other day that LA is on the cusp of becoming the best transit region in California. That transformation is only accelerating too. Envisioning realistic plans for future transit development like this is a powerful form of advocacy because it gives folks something to rally around.

This looks like a useful tool for folks cross-posting between Bluesky and Mastodon.

The most frustrating thing about the LAX Skylink delays is that as soon as it opens, LA becomes the best transit-served city in California. SF’s only advantage over LA is BART access to SFO. Skylink will finally solve that deficiency for LA. (Although, closing the Norwalk Gap would be nice too.)

The people in charge of your city’s streets do not care if their road designs kill people, so long as traffic flows freely.

Email newsletters are the devil. RSS is great but most readers are designed for completionists. I live in Discord, so I built Wireburst: an RSS-to-Discord bot that puts my feeds into channels. No algorithms, just a clean stream I can scroll. Open source, runs in Docker. cruftbox.com/2026/06/30/w...

I’m in San Francisco this weekend, and for the first time I’ve seen a significant number of Waymo driverless taxis out in the wild. After watching them for a while, I’m now of the opinion that they should be banned outright. They do nothing but make traffic worse & are a danger to other road users.

I think the California Bluesky Housing folks have convinced me to vote for Steyer for governor. I have real misgivings about voting for a billionaire with no experience in public office, government should not be run like a business. However, depressing Republican turnout in the general sounds good.

Today is mine and @onetwobre.bsky.social’s anniversary. She got me a first edition, first printing of Death and Life. Of course, I’ve had the same paperback copy that every planner owns for years, but it’s pretty neat having a first printing. It looks good on my urban planning shelf.

I’ve never seen a copy of Neighborhood Defenders in a bookstore before. The Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur was incredible. It was probably the most well-curated bookstore I’ve been to, full of classics and other influential work. I’d love to do nothing but read through the entire store.

This may be the world’s shortest no parking zone.
