No it really isn’t. I’ve lived in two cities in my life and neither was like that. To put into context the drives LA contains approach calling Cleveland and Columbus Ohio neighborhoods of the same city.
Sure once you hit megapolis you get huge transits caused by density, but NYC isn’t nearly that bad. Chicago can be rough but it doesn’t come close. DC is delightful.
LA is uniquely “what if we built the most America megacity ever”
Haha nope. You can cross the entirety of Paris from rural outskirts to rural outskirts by public transport in as much time as it takes to get to the next neighborhood over in LA by car.
This is absolutely not every city. I’ve lived in several and not a single one compared to LA in these regards. I don’t know what you’re basing this claim on but it’s simply inaccurate.
Yea but LA is like the platonic ideal of the modern urban hellscape. It is the progenitor of the dystopian urban-planning model that affects most American cities
This is every city.
Jesus, take a pill and cope harder.
