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 love visiting LA. I would however not like to live there.

I've been twice this year and love it. Breathe a sigh of relief when I see Michigan again though.

Food, museums, amusements parks, comedy, music, movie studios, film locations, honestly the list could go on and on. It's America's Pop Culture Capital.
