@_lej44 Perhaps the SO HOA prevented them from getting the redevelopment permit but the HOA didn’t get the cafe shut down.

@_lej44 I read the article by Martha Williams that you screenshotted. It says that the owner/developer evicted the tenant businesses in anticipation of redeveloping the property to something taller but before they had a permit to do so, then failed to get a permit for that redevelopment.

TIL the Sherman Oaks HOA ended a major 3rd place for teens on Ventura Blvd in the 90s - a night cafe which was a refuge for many. The sheer # of things i’m uncovering these ppl have ruined in the 2nd biggest city in US so not a single new person exists near em is radicalizing.

@rcwhiteley @sciencegirl I was going to say that. If she’s going to call herself science girl, she should use proper scientific method.

@sciencegirl Needs a control demonstration to see what a box looks like with the same fan running inside it with no filter.

@metrolaalerts Is North Hollywood-Vermont/Santa Monica open?

Riders can also use Bus Line 204 and 754 as an alternative from Wilshire/Vermont Station.

B LINE: Due to a power outage, there is no train service at Vermont/Beverly Station. Riders can use Bus Line 20 or 720 as an alternative. Please listen for station announcements.

@metrolaalerts @FlathenDeGlob @LAPDHQ @metrolosangeles Can you update the alerts page on the website?

@FlathenDeGlob @LAPDHQ @metrolosangeles We have multiple events happening at the same time. A power outage caused the station closure at Vermont/Beverly station. While a trespasser on the tracks near downtown Los Angeles caused significant delays on B/D Lines. We understand your frustration.

Due to police activity and a trespasser on the tracks, here's what service we're running. B LINE: Trains are running between Union Station-Pershing Square and between Westlake/MacArthur Park and North Hollywood. More in thread.

@metrolaalerts Ambassadors at Westlake/MacArthur and Wilshire/Vermont told us those stations were closed.

The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation." I don't know what Agile means. Nobody does. That's why it works. I make $425,000 a year. To move sticky notes. From left to right. On a board. The board is digital now. The sticky notes cost $80,000 in Jira licenses. Progress. Day one, I said "we need to break down silos." Everyone nodded. Silos are bad. I don't know why. But destroying them is a career. My career. I introduced "squads." Squads are teams. But disrupted. We disrupted the teams into teams. Different names. Same people. Same problems. But Agile problems now. Agile problems are strategic. A senior engineer asked what we're actually changing. I said, "The mindset." He asked what that means. I said, "It's a journey." He asked where we're going. I said, "Toward agility." He asked what agility means. I pointed at the sticky notes. They were moving left to right. That's velocity. We have velocity now. The VP of Engineering said two-week sprints don't fit their work. I said, "That's waterfall thinking." Waterfall is bad. Like silos. I don't know what waterfall is. But I know it's bad. She stopped talking. Waterfall accusations end conversations. We had a retrospective. In the retro, we discussed what went wrong. Everything went wrong. We put it on sticky notes. Then we moved the sticky notes. Into a column called "Parking Lot." The Parking Lot is where problems go to die. It's full. We don't look at it. That's agile. Velocity is up 40%. I defined velocity. I also defined the points. I also defined the stories. We're crushing it. At the things I made up. To measure. Ourselves. The CEO asked for ROI. I showed a chart. The chart went up. Charts should go up. This one did. I didn't label the Y-axis. Nobody asked. Leadership is confidence. We do standups now. Every day. We stand. For 45 minutes. Standing is agile. Sitting is waterfall. My legs hurt. But we're transforming. The transformation is now "Phase 3." Phase 1 was assessment. Phase 2 was implementation. Phase 3 is "continuous improvement." Continuous means forever. Forever means job security. I'm very secure. My contract was extended. Three more years. For "cultural impact." The culture is confused. But impacted. Agile transformation isn't about being agile. It's about transforming. Continuously. Toward more transformation. The destination is the journey. The journey is billable.

@cwebbonline Janitors who were likely immigrants who he wanted to deport. Who would pick up his trash then?

Ah yes, an aspiring tyrant in the making… Stephen Miller was always a POS. Here he is in high school, already looking middle-aged, giving a student government campaign speech: “Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up our trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?”

@cd4losangeles @Rap @Rap or @LACityParks ?

We’ve also worked with @RAP to make further improvements in Griffith Park, including installing speed humps on Zoo Drive and recently launching Phase 3 of our GP Safety & Active Transportation Improvements Plan, which will reconfigure Crystal Springs Dr with a protected bike lane

Earlier this month, my office and I joined @StreetsR4Every1 for their annual “Finish the Walk/Ride/Run” event in Griffith Park. We came together under the shared mission of advocating for street safety for all who walk, run, or ride on our city streets.

@metrolosangeles Here are photos of the stop area with no sign. I also just submitted a complaint on the Metro Transit Watch app.

@PWojdowski Hi Patrick, there should be a sign. Do you happen to take a photo of the missing signage? We are going to report it our team to get it replaced.

@metrolosangeles Why is there no sign indicating the location of the stop for the southbound 224 bus at the North Hollywood B/G line station (on Lankershim at Chandler)?

@metrolosangeles Sorry! I didn’t and don’t have plans to go back.

@rerutled When you figure that out, let me know!

Why is it that in European football, teams will do "loans" of players between teams - but we don't have that in US baseball, or football?

@cmclymer What about Jan 1-Jan 20? Wouldn’t that make at least 6?

There have been five different heads of the IRS this year alone: Doug O'Donnell (Jan. 20th thru Feb. 28th) Melanie Krause (Feb. 28th thru April 16th) Gary Shapley (April 16th thru April 18th) Michael Faulkender (April 18th thru June 16th) Billy Long (June 16th thru today)

@metrolaalerts Saluson Ave?

LINE 51: Buses to Cal State Dominguez Hills are detouring from Avalon Blvd to San Pedro St, between Vernon Ave and Saluson Ave, due to police activity. Stops from Avalon/46th through Avalon/56th will not be served. The expected clearance time is unknown at this time.

@metrolosangeles why does this sign at Union Station still say “Gold Line”

@metrolaalerts Thank you! I think you meant Walnut/Raymond though.

@PWojdowski Hi Patrick. It's a one day closure (Thurs, March 20) of the northbound stop 5am-10pm for filming. Walnut/Holly is alternative. Thank you for heads up on lack of clarity (it should specify it's a one-day closure) and that sign is now missing.

@metrolaalerts what’s up with this? Don’t see anything on your website or X feed. How temporary is it? Northbound Raymond @ Holly in Pasadena.

@metrolaalerts the notice has been ripped off.
