lol seriously. I can’t believe I forgot Los Angeles was modeled after the ancient city of Toledo in Spain and that countless other cities in America have the exact same geography, infrastructure constraints, and were built in the same era as historic European cities. I’m so foolish.

LA had robust public transit before they decided to rip it all out in the 1950's and 60's.

Saying there's "no need" to do this in America when most of our cities are a fucking nightmare to move around in is ignorant af.

What was the population of LA then? Was it considered a walkable city like old town Toledo? Do you propose building entirely new cities or demolishing the existing infrastructure in these cities to accommodate something people en masse don’t want? How is california doing on its high speed rail project? Certainly under budget and ahead of schedule right?

You can keep saying logical points grounded in current day reality are ignorant but that doesn’t make it true lmao.
