Park that car far as shit! Not just at the back of the parking lot, park that bitch 5-6 blocks away and start walking. Park in a neighborhood you’ve never been in before and get lost on your way back.

I’ve noticed since moving to LA that when people are driving in cars they have this sense of urgency to park as close as possible to wherever they’re entering or exiting from. But in New York a very normal occurrence would be struggling to carry two full and tearing grocery bags in my arms while being pummeled with freezing cold sleet for fifteen minutes before walking up five flights of stairs to my apartment. That sucks but also builds a resilience and a welcoming of discomfort that I feel runs deep. Los Angeles weather is primarily sunny and pleasant so simply putting forth a bit more effort to walk more is really not painful at all. I will add that I am horrible at parallel parking and parking in high-intensity environments (like on the street when there’s traffic behind me) so admittedly this practice has also been influenced by my driving around until I find a spot on the end that doesn’t require any quick geometric calculations of wheel turning and reversing - but I do genuinely find the little bit of extra walking helpful for my mental and physical well being.

we must collectively center our focus on pedestrians … there is a unique hostility on vehicle-centric cities….. we need to bring back xtra wide sidewalks… new yorkers often forget how lucky they have it

car centric city planning has made everything so spread out and decentralized but I would love to be able to walk to a subway or something and get around all day without a car like in NYC or Chicago. plus the maps are cool to look at

Working from home 5 days a week can get tiring and repetitive. I‘ll meet up with a homie once a week at a coffee shop or library and just work together and chat. I call them my work from homies. The day flies by and I often am more productive than I would’ve otherwise been. Plus it’s a great way to catch up with friends who you haven’t seen in a while, I find that most people love to sit together and parallel play. It’s my favorite part of my work week and I hope to make it a habit rather than a highlight in my week.
