Mississippi has significantly higher rates of drug use, mental illness, unemployment, and poverty than California. But homelessness there is a whopping 10x lower, because at the end of the day homelessness comes down to whether someone can afford to pay the rent.

Mobility and climate advocates wrote to @California_CTC regarding the next CTC executive director.
We need a CTC led by someone that supports:

- active transportation
- transit integration
- equity

I’m deeply saddened by the hate & ignorance perpetuated by leaders of other states for cheap political points, & I am truly disappointed that our beloved LA Dodgers have given in to their manufactured outrage.

We are here in front of @RendonAD62’s office asking that he move AB-645 forward. Too many people die in our streets due to speeding drivers. Automated speed enforcement will save lives. @StreetsR4Every1 @streetsforall

They said stop trying to make LA like Amsterdam
Then NYC
Then San Francisco
Are we really gonna argue that *Santa Monica* is unique & what they’ve done could never work in LA?

Made it from UCLA to 17th st in <20min at rush hour, riding along gridlock traffic… Breaking news: gridlock traffic also happens on streets that don’t have protected bike lanes.

When the road project is completed, it will feature a raised curb median for the protected bikeway, a notable improvement from the "paint and post" protection that existed earlier this week.

Too many Californians have been forced to live in areas that are in the crosshairs of catastrophic climate impacts. So we've joined @AsmChrisWard and environmental advocates to sponsor #AB68, the Housing and Climate Solutions Act! cayimby.org/ab-68/

Yes, increasing housing supply does reduce rent.
"Apartment rents fell in every major metropolitan area over the past six months through January, a trend that is poised to continue as the biggest delivery of new apartments in nearly four decades is slated for this year."
