It’s ridiculous to close off 1.5 miles of a wide boulevard to cars. There aren’t that many pedestrians to fill the space. Exactly how will businesses run or customers reach their destination. Los Angeles keeps sending a mixed message. They want more people and housing, yet disallow the building of new housing. They have a poor mass transit system, yet prematurely close streets in anticipation that people will use such public transportation system. Inconveniencing everyone will destroy the Broadway area. If that’s their intent, it’ll work. The homeless will find a new place to linger amid the malaise. LA is the new PROJECTS. Experimenting in making everyone live in a dysfunctional city.

Just a heads up, NYC has a higher annual rainfall than Seattle. The weather does change, and it is often overcast. Remember, the song says "the blue skies you’re ever seen are in Seattle", not Los Angeles. Before the tech companies arrived, Seattle was a small town pretending to be a big one and their sidewalks rolled up after 6pm. Now, I am sure all that has changed. Jeff Bezos can move here without Seattle being somehow less. I hope he enjoys his 9 acres. Nothing would be better than grabbing a huge vat of wine and take a stroll at night. Heaven.

Dear friend, there is no ‘cry’ of racism as it is a part of the documented history in the real estate and zoning practices in LA and many other cities. It is what it is. No one is suggesting a kum-by-yah approach either – it’s simply an issue that can no longer be overlooked if a real solution is to be devised. People should not be deemed disposable for the sake of progress. Even if that is part of the history, that doesn’t make it right, or sustainable long-term.

The reality remains that Los Angeles is geographically unique among major cities, in that its terrain has made comprehensive public transit a difficult proposition from the beginning.
The city is huge, there are mountains, earthquakes, gas pits and many more conditions that make underground and above-ground rail difficult at best. Add to that the cultural reality of this being the ‘city of the car,’ it’s going to take more than catchy posters and practical common sense to get people out of their cars.
This will never be New York (nor should it be), however, Los Angeles should however become the true ‘city of the future’ we’ve all imagined it to be – it’s just going to cost to make it happen. That cost will now have to be paid by those with real resources , rather than those who are working to stay alive.

And in other news. Thank you David Ryu for your tireless work banning exotic animals at parties and events. Very important use of your time. We don’t have more pressing issues at the moment:)

LOS ANGELES – Today, the Los Angeles City Council Committee on Personnel and Animal Welfare approved an ordinance led by Councilmember Ryu to ban the exhibition of wild and exotic animals for entertainment purposes. The proposed ordinance, which began as a motion in 2016, needs only approval from the full Council and Mayor before becoming law.

The other part of that truth is, that affluent people in Los Angeles simply DO NOT USE TRANSIT! They’re in their cars in part because transit doesn’t go to all the places they need to go; and they also have no desire to bump elbows with the lower classes. No one wants to appear overtly racist or classist – but that’s exactly what goes on.

The "deep dig" fix to Los Angeles’ transportation and housing problem will require sacrifices by those in power, and those who have worked hard to keep the ‘riff-raff’ on the fringes. Something’s got to give, and quick!

oh, i see reading comprehension isn’t your forte:

typical ignorant, low-intellect americunt, everything revolves around the bogus petrodollar. it’s how you sub-human pigs value/judge everything around you. work, drug/alcohol abuse, stuffing your obese gullets, and shopping/television is all you know.

i’ll clue you in, pepperoni nipples: you have a handful of large, multinational corporations located there, which skews the figure upwards. no different than ireland’s overstated gdp per capita. those profits aren’t generated there, nor are they in the hands of the people.

meanwhile, in reality, california’s quality of life’s absolute rubbish. it boasts the highest concentration of poverty in america, is chocka crime, and contains a wildly disproportionate amount of welfare recipients. the "educational" system’s one of the worst performing in the nation. air quality ranks dead last, so bad in fact, that 1 out of 4 children in los angeles develop asthma (even mexico city isn’t this bad).

now set sail for dick, you pvc solvent sniffing fruitcake.

"I’m perfectly fine with City life in Los Angeles"
With your constant complaining you had me fooled.

I’m perfectly fine with City life in Los Angeles. It seems to me that you, Alissa Walker and all the other livable streets activists are unhappy here. If you want livable streets, go move to a city with livable streets. Stop trying to change LA which is not right for you.

Good question $ean. Very thoughtful and helpful as always.
I’ll take ANYONE that will rid our streets of the current trash dump it has become.
Garcetti tackling getting people out of their cars in Los Angeles at this moment is laughable considering what a botched job the city has done regarding the homeless problem and wasting tax payers funding.

Not true, Mt. Washington is one of LA’s best kept secrets. Nice hilltop views, historic houses on 1 acre lots, a short drive to Hollywood, Griffith Park, Burbank studios, Highland Park, Downtown LA and accessible by the Metro Gold Line (I forgot what the number designation of this train is). It’s not as famous as Los Feliz, Silver Lake, or Echo Park but for those who know Los Angeles, houses on Mt. Washington are very in demand.
