Ted Mills asks...

With the election of Villaraigosa to Los Angeles Mayor the residents of the sprawly city have a man who, if nothing else, speaks in the jargon of a new urbanist. I heard him talk on progressive KPFK and before I knew who I was listening to, I thought he was one of the left's no-chance minority candidates! Oops! Turns out he won in a landslide all these months later. Villaraigosa talks about pumping a lot more money into extending the Metro lines (westward especially, where it is badly needed) and creating "walkable communities."

Perhaps there is someone from LA who might speak about this on your blog?

Your instincts are right! Come and hear what Villaraigosa himself has to say about New Urbanism at CNU XIII, in Pasadena in just a few weeks.
