You know what fascinates me about LA?

Everyone's perfectly fine being stuck in traffic on the highway for hours at a time, while small roads are almost completely free of traffic.
They're deteriorating in a lot of places, and are not being serviced properly, because no one is using them, because everyone's on the highways, talking how there should be more highways, or some other means of making the traffic more efficient. While like 75% of the total surface area of LA roads stays underused and mismanaged.

if you ever get the chance to visit a big european city, use the metro network as much as you can. metros are really, really good and you'll never want more highways or side roads again. i feel so nerdy for thinking that was super cool in every city i visited, but coming from a city with a similar problem on a much smaller scale it just so nice and convenient and i miss it a lot now that im home.

I did and i don’t.
Same goes for Tokyo.

OTOH, Bangkok is another wonderful counter-example, but they have both fairly capacious highways and very decent roads, and they use both, and it still becomes a useless mess during rush hour. No subway, and the buses are fairly useless.

I mean Bangkok is an excellent example of what happens when you you hope to solve the problem by just building more (and wider) roads. It does have a skytrain, but it’s coverage is pretty much lagging behind the demand by about 5 years (at least what it looked like).

Edit: just read they’re doing a massive expansion of the BTS... good on them.

Bangkok metro was awesome when I was there but that was my first experience with an actual good public transit system

Singapore/KL was much better tho so even then I could see contrasts

I'm bad with money and I want that meatball!

I have still been hoping for more info on his water fountain donation because all of the sources about it stated that it relied on UV to remove lead. I tried to research the company they were using for it too and it was apparently a think tank... I can't fault the dude for donating money to school systems that need it, but the hero status given is absurd. And of course with the laptops they're lovely rear end chromebooks; which are probably fine for middle schoolers but the article is suggesting this will allow them to completely revamp their curriculum and some other nonsense. And of course there will be plenty of people who look at this and think "yup, this is why we should have more charter schools and we should just cut public school funding, billionaires will donate some money to do basically jackshit! yay!"

Neat

 saw an encouraging presentation from Joy Forbes, NBCUniversal’s vice president of planning. The company launched a pilot program earlier this year that offered employees subsidized fare cards, provided incentives for choosing non-car modes, and paired transit-curious first-time riders with transit-riding mentors.
Six months later, the number of NBCUniversal employees in the program who report driving alone to work has gone from 59 percent to 14 percent. The percentage of those who report riding public transit to work went from 19 percent to a whopping 59 percent. The mode-share (as planners call it) essentially flipped.
Numbers like that have the potential to get a lot of cars off the road during peak hours.
