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 hate visiting too. Every time I want to go somewhere I have to take an uber that takes an hour and costs $50
