This post includes several figures of speech, including metonymy, hyperbole, metaphor and irony. A little gem that is written to mystify the intellectually impoverished.

@Bootlegregore @moseskagan @missmayn New restaurants open there all the time, still, and the music venues have been there for decades. What you’re saying doesn’t negate my point.

@jinboyman @moseskagan @missmayn It has that _because_ it was on the upswing in the 2010s. It's not a given that the neighborhood will continue to thrive; there was a very long period where it didn't

@prpeju @JoseLuisSTAP If you have actually been to Seoul and talk to actual Koreans, you would know that most people have cars because they can’t afford to buy an apartment. They drive out of unhappy materialistic necessity not a choice.

Quan parles de Carrils bici i la bicicleta i et diuen que Barcelona no és Amsterdam. És que Amsterdam no era Àmsterdam fins que no van començar a fer la feina fa 50 anys que nosaltres encara no volem fer ara.

Vacancy tax is not going to solve our issues Downtown. Doing more to discourage investment and business in our community is not what we need; the city needs to cut operating costs and bureaucracy and make downtown safe for residents and customers. Anything else is just vibes.

i'm only about 25% done mapping all the commercial vacancies in downtown LA. it would be so cool if we had anyone in leadership who gave a shit about this.

@moseskagan @missmayn I want to buy a building downtown. Bullish long term. Downtown has the best music, art, and food scene by far. It mogs the rest of the city. It just need better connections and more greenery and safety ofc

@missmayn How much of your personal life savings and time would you invest in opening a small business downtown, after everything that has happened there over the past 5 years?

@missmayn @CohenSite Say it with me… VOTE THEM OUT. We continue to vote for dem machine incumbents for far too long. Enough is enough

The situation with the Cinerama Dome is a perfect encapsulation of why the film industry is declining in LA.
The owners would rather keep this iconic LA staple shuttered for a tax break than reopen this place to the public.
Then the owners cry harassment when they’re being called out.
It’s sickening.

@MinistryofOtaku @BlackMajikMan90 @Viggie_Smalls93 My strat is to never vote for incumbents and hope political organizers get to work.

@jinboyman @BlackMajikMan90 @Viggie_Smalls93 And replace them with who?
Republicans don't exist on the ballot in Los Angeles.
And all the democrats are crazy since March 2020.

@MinistryofOtaku @BlackMajikMan90 @Viggie_Smalls93 Then we should vote out literally every single member

The Forman family sicced @LAPDHollywood on @SaveYourCinema over a light projection. On a closed, empty building. Projecting onto a structure from a public sidewalk isn’t harassment, it’s speech.

39%(!) of young Californians live with their parents. This is entirely due to the failure of cities like LA to build enough housing for the next generation. The only way this changes is if we make it legal to build more housing across LA. Young people deserve affordable housing!

@ryangrim @neeratanden Has she ever been serious? Tanden is like the joker of centrism

Update: it is not actually important to reach people where they are, apparently.

I missed how every Dem leader went on Hasan Piker's show to make this happen. Just like there are very few Dems on Joe Rogan and Trump is still dropping with young people. The truth is no podcaster controls whole blocks of voters. This debate has become divorced from reality.
