La is a wasted opportunity Discussion

Imagine if Los Angeles was built like Barcelona. Dense 15 million people metropolis with great public transportation and walkability.

They wasted this perfect climate and perfect place for city by building a endless suburban sprawl.

I grew up in Long Beach. High crime rate.

But there are soooo many cities and neighborhoods. You dont have to pick Compton or East LA.
