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.

Again, this is just laughable, especially when you mention fucking Dallas.

Los Angeles has 14% of its land used for parks, the exact same as NYC, over a substantially larger piece of land. Dallas is 8%. Denver is 6%.

Do you just...say shit?

Lol so you just actually have no idea what you're talking about. The response to actual facts and data about the total park utilization of each city gets a "wikipedia denver parks" link.
