    • SoCal: Southern California
    Last night, from about 22:00 to 01:00, there were sporadic bursts of gunfire. It was raining in intermittent spurts, and the wind was boisterous.

    In the #Los_Angeles metro, there were several water rescues, as flooding occurred. This includes one family whose off-road vehicle got stuck in flooded Lytle Creek after five inches of rain fell.

    • SoCal: Southern California
    Two of the four local (to my area of !SoCal) news sources actually have positive stories this week and last, along with the usual car crashes, burglaries, robberies, and murders. One would think this is the part of #Los_Angeles that used to be known as "South Central", instead of a desert area 100 miles away.

    One source is paywalled, so I rarely visit it. The fourth source is moribund, posting batches of 3-4 articles over few months.

    The end result was the #San_Diego #Padres eliminated the #Los_Angeles #Dodgers in their 5 game series. The Padres go on to the National League Championship Series (NLCS).

    @clacke

    > A Supreme Court that doesn't give a damn what the public wants ... is exactly what a Supreme Court is for, actually.

    I agree.

    > the reason there is partisan court seat stacking etc is that the SCOTUS cares too much what the people or rather what the people's representatives think.

    I disagree. It is that absent support for the ruling party's "correct" interpretations, a court nominee will not be confirmed.

    > It's the politicization of everything.

    Correct. And, as we know, politics ruins everything it touches.

    > the US appoints some of its District Attorneys by popular vote and that's just super weird for a role that is supposed to be administrative, meritocratic, bureaucratic.

    Yes, I agree. The DA role is normally at county-level, so each county that does this should reconsider, including #Los_Angeles County in #SoCal. On the other hand, one has no idea what sort of back-room deals would be made in an appointed DA situation. But overall, I think appointment would be better.

    https://pedestrianobservations.com/2022/03/26/no-federal-aid-to-transit-operations-please/ [pedestrianobservations com]

    The author argues against federal subsidies for public transit operating costs.

    But I cannot fully agree: on the East Coast, people use public transit and avoid automobile ownership. The West Coast, with wider streets and no separate commuter train infrastructure, is the opposite. There, people use public transit primarily because they do not own a vehicle.

    Break even requirements (e.g., that the system's operating costs should be covered by fares) mean that unprofitable routes are closed, or at least that they only run during peak hours. I've been the person who had to walk 8 miles home after work because the bus stopped running after a certain time.

    With the #Los_Angeles Metro bus and train system, this was such a problem that cities in the #SGV San Gabriel Valley formed Foothill Transit to fund extended operating hours on bus routes in their area.

    Now, I do think that most areas' transit system operations should be funded by fares, possibly supplemented with state and local tax funds. The inefficiency that the author notes is probably inescapable unless we turn our urban transit over to private companies ... and even then, it could only work if we do not require the same things we require of our city-operated / county-operated transit systems (cover almost the whole area with hourly service during certain time periods; try to keep fares stable)

    I think the author writes from the perspective of Boston.

    During high rainfall events, the #Los_Angeles sewers overflow the sewage processing plants and carry untreated sewage into the Pacific Ocean. There are some areas where beaches and other seaside areas have been closed to the public since the 1970s.

    I am not aware of any initiative by the City or the County of Los Angeles to build sewage staging areas to mitigate this … but I now live about 100 miles away, so I may have just missed it.

    This is relevant because there was a heavy rain event within the past few days (possibly ongoing ... I haven't had time to check !SoCal weather)

    We saw smoke here from a fire near #Los_Angeles, but I'm not sure which fire it was.

    Also, this area of #SoCal isn’t great for bicycles. The roads aren’t designed with anyone except automobile drivers in mind. Both sidewalks and bicycle lanes are few and far between. (Not that bicyclists should ride on sidewalks, except in places where the two are combined.) Also, a big chunk of the population works 100 miles away in the #Los_Angeles area, so they are accustomed to speeding and swerving in and out of traffic.

    Even as a pedestrian, there are certain intersections where near misses are a common occurence.

    Fed up with #Los_Angeles’ inaction on homelessness, Elvis Summers started building tiny homes, where homeless people can live and keep their stuff.

    At the very moment the City was announcing yet another ten year plan to “fix” homelessness, the police and sanitation departments were seizing people’s tiny houses.

    It mostly affected a very small area in the #SoCal City of Downey, though the alert (accidentally?) was sent to all of #Los_Angeles County.

    I did throw “Downey gas leak” into DDG and Google, but no links tell whether the situation is resolved yet.
