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 feel the opposite. My heart goes out to all the tourists in LA, especially those that land at LAX with no plan on how to get to where they need to go.

However, amazing place to live.
