@tomjennings @jonny LA was making faster progress (measured as progress rather than existing achievement) than the SF Bay Area for some years there.
The D line was stymied by rich folks in BH fighting it every step of the way. And Garcetti and Bass rolled back progress LA had been making generally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%5FLine%5FExtension#Prior%5Fopposition%5Fand%5Fhalt%5Fof%5FWilshire%5Fbranch
I'd add that what helps things get better is showing up consistently for active transportation activism. BikeLA and many other coalitions in LA need donations and members. https://www.la-bike.org/chapters
ActiveSGV has been having a lot of success improving things in the San Gabriel Valley. https://www.activesgv.org/get-involved#donate
There's also the Bus Riders Union https://thestrategycenter.org/projects/bus-riders-union/ #LosAngeles #BikeTooter
