Nimesh in Los Angeles
Description
Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not an urban planner!
But if no one else is going to talk about how the built environment in Los Angeles affects our physical, mental, and community health, I'll try to give it a shot.
"I wish more people would make their own videos! I have no interest in being the only 'big' voice in online urban planning. I want a whole army of creators making content about all kinds of places in the world!"
- Not Just Bikes
I purposely don't provide contact information, but if you really want to interact with me, you can post on the Streets for All subreddit or the Climate Town Discord linked below. Unfortunately, I don't have time to collaborate or do much in-person advocacy (putting these videos together in my downtime is the best I can do).
The views and opinions expressed by me on social media are my own and do not represent the views and opinions of my employer or any healthcare system or its employees.

Ripping out the streetcar system was the dumbest most damaging urban mismanagement blunder in Los Angeles history.

L.A has the capacity to be the most walkable city this side of the Pacific ocean.

I like how the rainbow sign talks about "hope for safer, healthier streets". So the government policy for reducing car violence is... hoping?

It's crazy that the voters have to tell the city to do the plan they already adopted. When HLA passes, I hope people track the compliance and make sure it's actually done.

The fact that people are driving 100 mph on a CITY STREET is disgusting

As a reminder, Amsterdam was a car-centric city and they got tired of kids getting killed by cars and actually did something about it. Let's hope LA with our MUCH better weather can do something about this.

Driving Licences should be a LOT easier to lose all over the world!

I think it's important to note why city councils drag their feet on implementing pro-pedestrian and pro safety changes nationwide. Car dependency is a feature in America, not a bug. It keeps the wealthy classes and their neighborhoods, streets, businesses, parks, etc. separated from the rest of the city and especially lower class neighborhoods. If you live in a super nice place but don't want to share it with anyone making less than 6 figures, you ensure there is no public transit and the streets are too deadly to dare walk or cycle. Basically adding a paywall in the form of a car and all the expensive costs of gas, insurance, parking, maintenance etc. to access anywhere else in your town outside of your neighborhood.

Hi, I'm an urban planner from the East coast. Thank you for humanizing the pedestrian experience of sprawl/stroads. We need this everywhere
