Bye, Bye, Circuit

Effective today, Circuit is indefinitely suspending service because our city overseers won't cooperate. Thanks, City Council, for another bang-up job.

Manhattan Beach and Long Beach benefit from our loss. They seem to figure out how to make it work within their borders. Why can't we?

What are these extra wide curbs on the bike lanes?

This is on Broadway. Why are they so wide near this intersection, as opposed to the regular curbs for the majority of the lane?

This is not a post for debating the utility of protected bike lanes, I’m a strong supporter - just curiosity.

How are parents okay with this?

Douglas Park, again trash being left behind from some party. I would be ashamed of myself.

Zombie Environmentalism has entered the Santa Monica City Council Election.

The Environmental Zombies never mention the harm their NIMBY housing policies have on climate change. You can tell who the zombies are by looking at their housing policies. They think eliminating bike lanes, defending parking lots and designing safe streets begin with preventing car crashes. While most of us sweat these zombies try to crush our dreams of having new homes with air conditioning.

Our state senate race is between two distinct views on climate change. Brian Goldsmith, who has never held elected office, is courting single family homeowners and has promised to vote against new housing bills. John Erickson, the pro housing progressive, talks about environmental impacts of housing density and is bold enough to offer solutions.

Protecting the Ocean is great campaign slogan but one that is clearly aligned with old zombie environmental ideas.

Here is an excellent summary of how single family homes makes the planet hotter Single Family Homes negative impact on our planet

Our local independently owned plant store needs our support 🪴

We’ve all zoomed by it a trillion times - Country Plants on PCH at Chautauqua was highlighted in Pali Post last week as a local business struggling to keep the lights on since the Palisades Fire impacted so much of his loyal clientele.

I wanted to gift a plant to a friend, so I stopped by there this afternoon. The owner (Yoon) is so kind and was eager to help with any questions I had. The prices were way more reasonable than I anticipated, and the variety and health of the plants is impressive. It felt like going on a treasure hunt in the store for the right find (snapped a pic from the register to illuminate the vibe).

Left with a very mature hanging variated philodendron for $30 that’s in great health.

Parking is in front of the store on PCH; easy to drop in! Plant parents - break up with your big box plant trips and go show him some love.
