Los Angeles is a sad city

·1 min

Our latest trip to LA made me realize how car-dependent the city is.

  • Heavy traffic most of the time, especially during peak hours. This despite an abundance of 8-14 lane freeways!
    • I remember the poor traffic situation from a previous trip too - I just didn’t remember just how bad it was.
  • Non-existent pedestrian traffic or public transportation. Zero walkability.
  • You also can’t avoid driving your car given how far everything is.

The city seemed sad to me. If this is what a developed nation/city looks like, I’d like to stay away.
