This is where most of my friends had their quinceñeras. They also all danced to Your Body is a wonderland with their fathers. At the end of Mayer’s song a church bell would ring and Papi Papi Papi chulo would be blasted. It was a ritual.

In podcast on accelerating infrastructure for Olympics, LA Metro Chief Innovation Officer Seleta Reynolds says building bus/bike lanes without extensive community engagement and consent would make them no better than planners that bulldozed homes for freeways, would be arrogant.
LA Metro requesting an extension for 2018 state grant for Vermont corridor. ~2.5 year delay to start of environmental review because Metro board cancelled planned contract in May 2021 and asked for community engagement before awarding contract (now planned for September 2023).

SoFi Stadium was built as an indoor/outdoor stadium but the floor is entirely too slippery tonight in the rain. Multiple people are slipping and falling and having to be helped out on stretchers.

Another day without resignations.
The audacity of Cedillo, De Leon, and Martinez still staying in their seats after the President of the United States of America has called them to resign does not surprise me.
They were never about the people. They’re only about themselves.

“I’m here because I believe in the power of government to do good and to be good. We need to create the governing structures that make that happen.
We can create rules in Los Angeles that change the way in which Councilmembers operate.”
