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.

Sadly like many other cities in the US, walk ability is an afterthought. I live in a moderately sized city (400k+) and walk ability is terrible half the streets don’t even have sidewalks

This should be a pinned post on the sub if people ask about LA

And this was done in 1990 & is still relevant today

Reminds me of the opening scene to the Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) when a lady drives down her driveway, just to get her mail.
