Garry Tan@garrytan
In 2008 I showed up to Y Combinator Startup School to take photos of speakers and learn how to start a startup. I was an engineer and designer and had never started a company before.

@SusanDReynolds @Frisky_gaijing My building collapsed around us. We crawled out.

@Frisky_gaijing My boss at Apple lost her house — collapsed one floor onto the next and caught on fire. Complete loss

‘We live up on Russian Hill and our view is going to be impacted somewhat by this,’ said John Molinari.” Hate to break it to you, John, but there are no view rights in San Francisco. I wrote a story about it several years ago. abc7news.com/post/hundreds-…

@ClaridgesHotel I have been trying to reach you for three days in four ways. Including Insta and email. No response. Any chance this will work?

If you were starting a communist party today, the last thing you would call it is “the communist party.” You’d probably want the word democrat in there. And get some positive wework/Erewhon vibes going. Have a really good insta. Make it sexy. Get a special outfit.

@RoyPrice In other news, have you watched Deadloch? We are dying, it’s so good.

@Cassy_Horton A favorite gem and it’s featured in my novel I am looking to launch.

Another Downtown gem. Come celebrate the Central Library's 100th birthday this weekend!
L.A. in a Minute@LaInaMinute
Central Library in DTLA will be celebrating its 100th birthday on July 11th with FREE performances, exhibits, & special guests. This is not only one of the largest libraries in the nation, but one of the most important architectural & cultural landmarks in L.A. Let’s get into it! @LAPublicLibrary

@garrytan Oakland has the best weather in the world. Views. Location. Diversity and fabulous food. It never gets its act together tho.

Oakland will continue to be a case study in virtue signal policies by ideologies that don’t work
The city will continue to crumble until the common sense and business forces unite to vote smarter
Garry's List@garryslist
Oakland saw a massive wave of small business closures the end of 2025, with owners citing the "increasingly impossible math" of staying open in the Bay Area. Now the city is considering nearly doubling the minimum wage to $30/hr, making the math even harder.

Only appropriate if the "Europe" being referenced is Spanish Colonial Revival.
Shawn Gorham@shawngorham
I dont understand designing "European inspired" homes in the desert of Phoenix, it just doesnt match

@JustineBateman @ChrisKindaReads It is extraordinary. He made writing look so clean and easy.

Just finished Steinbeck’s “East of Eden.” I’ve read many classics, but I hadn’t happened to read this one until now. Full and hopeful and devastating. Credit to @ChrisKindaReads for the rec.

@RoyPrice C’est super chouette! J’ai beaucoup aimée. Merci a toi🙏

Yes to all of this.
It's clean and safe. It's not hard.
We've done it before and we can do it again.
Adam Mayer@AdamNMayer
Downtown LA is the biggest missed opportunity for good urbanism in California. It has everything: mixed uses, historic architecture, real density, cultural institutions, great food, transit, freeway access, and a climate most cities would kill for. The bones are extraordinary. The governance is abysmal. The City has failed at the most basic obligation of urban life: maintaining safe, clean, livable public space. Downtown has been allowed to deteriorate into a civic embarrassment while too many officials, agencies, and nonprofit interests normalize dysfunction as if it were compassion. It isn’t. It is a violation of the public trust. DTLA should be one of America’s great urban neighborhoods. Instead, it is a monument to institutional failure.
English
@Cassy_Horton I 💙 dtla. Have written a fun novel about it. A love letter to the city that has so much to offer
English
Downtown LA generates 30% of the city's tax revenue and has 30% of it's hotels. If you want LA to succeed, you should be rooting for Downtown. If there's any silver lining re the bad press, it's hopefully that it motivates our leaders to take DTLA recovery more seriously.
English
@AdamNMayer I loved living in dtla. I’m soon to launch a comedic novel about it. A Tales of the City of sorts. It’s a glorious place filled with so much possibility and it deserves saving.

If you feel that Downtown L.A. is not a very cool place to hang out, you’re not alone. A new study found it’s one of the deadest downtowns in the world. ktla.com/news/local-new…

@mnolangray I’ve written a novel about DTLA. A funny love letter to a Downtown that I love.
English
Look, I get that Los Angeles hate is in vogue right now, and the city needs an overhaul, but get a grip. Downtown Los Angeles is less "vibrant" than downtown Columbus? I mean, no offense to Columbus, but come on man.
