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.

DC metro is on the same level as European systems like London (and better than Paris, which was filthy when I rode it), and the city boasts some of the best urban planning in the country. Why it’s so often left out of the conversation is a mystery to me.
