La is a wasted opportunity

[u/villehhulkkonen]

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.

It’s the age old comparison of pre planned cities vs organically grown cities. It’s why Phoenix (literally planned as a grid like it’s from Tron) looks so drastically different than Boston. More about age than climate

Nothing wrong with grid structure, just make the city walkable. Manhattan and San Francisco both have grid structures but are very walkable.

Boston without the grid is also very walkable

Yep, never said otherwise.
