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’m a Chicagoan here and I don’t think you guys are giving LA enough credit. Large swaths of it are quite walkable and pleasant, and the transit is better than most US cities. I consider it one of the more walkable cities.
