Two L.A. City Council members are putting forward a new proposal that could let developers skip on-site parking, with the goal of creating more housing.
I’m all for bike infrastructure but LA is already so wide and sprawling it seems like it would take herculean effort to make it cyclable at this point.
Someone should invent bike lane highways with magnetic fields that can wirelessly power ebikes. The bikes wouldn’t need batteries, people would be encouraged to stay on the lane for the extra speed, and it would be easy to offramp and ride locally when you get where you’re going.
I just want to ride a bike without constant fear of death. LA is statistically one of the most dangerous cities to ride a bike. I don’t care if it’s far—10 miles of sunshine and exercise and not dealing with bumper to bumper traffic sounds great to me, if I’m likely to arrive with my skull still in tact.
I dunno, man. I kinda agree with the first comment, even just to get it good enough would be a massive thing. That doesn’t mean impossible and it shouldn’t be tried, just… It does seem extra hard in a city that size that’s already built poorly for cars.

It’s just a lot of green paint on the streets. No big deal.
Don’t forget to paint the little man riding a bicycle too otherwise people won’t know what the green paint is about

You’re right. Perfection is the enemy of better. Anything is better than nothing. I guess I just give up too easily.
