As a LA resident, I got one other beef with 911 (besides the 118 basically covering all parts of LA somehow): traffic.

They never show traffic.

Because as someone who's been blessed in having to see a whole ass firetruck just block a majority of the 101 and 405 on separate occasions, we don't have a lot of traffic in 911 (and if they responding to cases in Pasadena to Venice to DTLA, there will be traffic )

i love public transportation and i live in los angeles which has a burgeoning system, so there’s bound to be kinks and learning curves. we weren’t lucky to get a great society metro, most of the city proper is single family housing outside of wilshire, dtla, and some properties in westlake area, and la was built with the car as the main resident within the city, so no matter what, public transpo & pedestrian oriented infrastructure will be an uphill battle. i will always applaud metro for /trying/, but it’s just frustrating sometimes.

i’ve been late to work & school more times than i’m comfortable with because the e line has no signal preemption so we have to wait at jefferson, pico, western, vermont, and crenshaw for four minutes each like a car and then we have to wait at the station for 10 minutes for some unexplainable issue. and then because of that, i miss my bus which wasn’t there anyway because of bunching and poor infrastructure so now there’s 100 people at the bus stop cramming into a bus to get to their jobs, but cars are clogging the roads and making it near impossible to travel more than 20 miles an hour for much of the trip there.

cars are the least efficient form of transportation known to man and one of the greatest cities on earth, my hometown, where i was born and raised, was not built for and will continue to denigrate humans and pedestrian alike. and, car drivers will continue to demean and fear monger about walking and public transportation. the suv & light truck arms race is turning thoroughfares which should have multitudes of modes of transport within and serve people into raceways where you can go 45 with no repercussions. right hand turns on red have nearly hit me more times than i have fingers.

i live in a city where we can afford to widen the 405 into oblivion and bloat lapd’s budget yearly and yet we can’t provide good enough infrastructure for angelenos?? this is a major policy failure and we are living with its effects. i’m so tired of living in a city built for the wealthy and for the vehicle. we need to change los angeles zoning codes, enforce rent caps, institute a low income rent moratorium, tear down the 110, 10, 710, 101, 405, and 210, institute a robust commuter rail system, publicize the railroads, remove eighteen wheelers as the primary mode of freight movement, expand heavy rail through urban core, increase density along metro corridors and use property taxes to pay for projects and maintain system, increase metro ambassadors, clean the cars, update the rolling stock, rebuild union station, create streetcar suburbs in la county, increase density in the suburbs, turn all boulevards and avenues into mixed mode thoroughfares, increase cycling network, create a statewide engineering and construction firm instead of outsourcing, produce american made rolling stock, create a high speed rail system, and turn cities back into thriving hubs of culture where we can afford rent, create art, live lives, move freely, build community, and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

sorry for any typos, inconsistencies, or any oddities. i’m typing this while walking 25 minutes late to my public policy class.

@authorityissues replied to your post “i post about the silliest shit on tumblr dot com....”:

I wanna know the skinny on dtla

ok not to be silly but i'm gonna make this a whole dang post because it's probably too big for just a reply! as a caveat i've never been to la and i only recently started reading about dtla so i am no expert i just think it's interesting lmao. also i truly infodumped here i'm so sorry

i think what's so fascinating about dtla is that it's so not like other cities of its stature, especially in the us (and canada?). i'm more used to the nyc/chicago style of city where downtown is kind of the "jewel" of the city, the center of both business and tourism and is also very expensive. the financial district part of dtla LOOKS a lot like a city like nyc or chicago in its style of architecture and the fact that it's got all these government buildings and museums but looking at google street view, you can tell it's..... kind of vacant? and while there are hotels and museums around, i can't see much else for tourists to do. and tbh, when i think of tourism in la, i'm not thinking dtla anyways (again, unlike nyc and chicago), i feel like tourists would stick towards hollywood and the beach.

so that's not wholly weird i guess especially for a suburbanized city like la (houston gives me similar vibes) BUT what makes it even more unique to me is what's surrounding the financial district, particularly the "industry" districts and skid row.

i'll start with the industry districts because it's my favorite: there's a bunch of them but i think the biggest ones are the fashion district and the toy district? there's also a pinata one and a flower one too! anyways this area is RIGHT next to the financial district and is a bunch of low-rise wholesale stores that sell (what i think are) mostly imported goods! idk how these places are doing economically but the fact that they STILL EXIST after over 20 years of online shopping is amazing to me, especially for something like toys and pinatas! i've heard of wholesale fashion districts but never anything like toys, pinatas, and flowers. the actual look of it is interesting too: mostly single-story small warehouses, sometimes painted and decorated. it's really interesting and cool!

and then there's skid row which i won't dwell on too much because i don't want to sound like i'm making a judgment call on it... because i really don't know enough to say. but i will say that like the wholesale districts, i'm really surprised it exists just outside of downtown and is such a large area. it's possible i'm ignorant in this, but i've never heard of anything like skid row elsewhere in the US (at least in the last 40 years). but even besides that, it's really fascinating to see what it looks like building-wise on google streetview. i see a surprising amount of construction! i also see a lot of occupied buildings, a surprising amount of which are churches (or "missions"?)! hotels (probably for residents) are also very common. i feel pretty ignorant with the Who, How, and Why of skid row and it's something i'd like to look more into, as well as why dtla has one and no other american cities have one (at least to this extent).

and finally, i think it's fascinating how all these places blend into each other, including how skid row blends into the tourist-friendly little tokyo. all of these places are so different, yet blend into each other in just a few blocks. i try to compare this all to eastern and northern cities like nyc/chicago or hell even rust belt cities like detroit/cleveland/st louis but it just doesn't fit the pattern of how downtowns "should be" compared to any of those. it doesn't even fit the pattern of san francisco, which i have been to. i think the fact that it is so unique is what makes it so interesting!

We’re launching a new event in Arts District DTLA with a focus on NETWORKING. So many industries we interface with: Film, Television, Music, Art, Hospitality etc. have not fully recovered from the pandemic, which has rightfully led to the resurgence of the Labor Movement, and unfortunately left many talented hard working people looking for opportunities.

We aim to bring all these people together in a vibrant environment to foster and facilitate collaboration and growth.

day six: art institute of chicago

"homesickness sinks its

vapor-white teeth into

all my waking dreams"

Today had more sleeping in it than anticipated. Slept in for longer than I usually do, then we headed to the Art Institute of Chicago. Luckily we just had to take one bus to get there, so not a lot of transfers or anything.

Definitely felt like we got off "at the center of things", so to speak—a lot of people and cars and activity that reminded me of New York or DTLA.

We got in after some brief trouble (I can't lie to save my life and I was supposed to try and get around the higher costs put upon non-Illinois residents, but I showed the lady at the front desk my student ID and she asked for my zipcode and I froze up. So she charged me as a non-resident. Whoops.)

We started at the Asian artwork section, looking first at the Kabuki portraits and then moving into the porcelain and pottery, which I really, really loved.

The designs were really intricate and some of the more detailed pieces had symbols we got to look for—museums should have more eye spy esque exhibits, don't you think?

The pieces were from Japan and China, from different historical eras. The WW2 era depiction of the girls at the beach was really interesting and struck a contrast with the other pre-colonial era pieces in the exhibit (especially because the description used an English loan word for "modern girl" when I believe Japan was not on good political terms with England or America).

There was also some bowls from I believe the Ming Dynasty with ducks on them and they were cute and I forgot to take a picture. Waaaah.

After that we looked at this exhibit titled "Four Chicago Artists: Theodore Halkin, Evelyn Statsinger, Barbara Rossi, and Christina Ramberg"—I don't know a lot about how to engage or understand a lot of modern or contemporary art, especially when its abstract, I struggle a lot with extracting something from the experience of viewing the art up close. I'm not really an artist myself, or at least I wouldn't call myself one, but I do like reading the descriptions and trying to get into the heads of the artists. They all seemed like they were graduates of SAIC, for example—I'm kind of curious about the school's influence on curating art movements in Chicago or if it plays into anything like that.

Something I did really like was the equisite corpse section where the artists in question got together to perform their own versions.

I like exquisite corpse in poetry form, line by line stuff, because it always devolves into abstract nonsense and that's always fun. It seems that this applies here.

I ran out of room, so I'm gonna post a Part 2 for the rest of the day.

COVID Cases Rising in L.A. County and California as New Subvariants Make Mark

COVID-19 continues to evolve because viruses naturally change over time. As the virus spreads from person to person, it makes copies of itself. Sometimes, these copies have small changes called mutations. Most mutations don't make the virus more dangerous, but some can make it easier to spread or evade vaccines. Also, when many people are infected, like during a pandemic, there are more chances for mutations to happen. Scientists are closely studying these changes to understand how they affect the virus's behavior and how well vaccines and treatments work. By monitoring these changes and adjusting strategies, experts can better control the spread of COVID-19 and protect public health.
