Los Angeles is the name of the County that Santa Monica is in. There is also the city of Los Angeles, which is also located in LA County.I've never been to L.A before (I will probaly visit there soon) but I don't get how it's considered the 2nd biggest city. I heard that shyts are waaay to spread apart over there and that many parts of the city has a suburban feeling to it. I work with this one guy who's from L.A and lives in the city Santa Monica.So basically the "city" of L.A is made up by clusters of little cities nearby blanketed under one county? Cali brehs help me understand this.
American cities have too much Suburban Sprawl

Yea I know the difference between county and city. But I think because LA county is used so frequently people get confused.
In general newer cities aren’t dedicated to only speaking of their city limits like older cities.
Best in living in suburbs not to far from the city. Living in the city is cool when you're young and single, but I'm gonna want a house, land, ample parking space, etc. as I get into my 30s.

Quit being a girl. Parallel parking is awesome, especially when you're under pressure.

Shyts not natural. Cities that require PP were all built before cars became commonplace in every family
Sprawl is actually a very important issue that intersects with other issues (racial equality, economy/jobs, infrastructure, COL, agriculture etc.)
Great thread,
Suburbia is a crime against humanity; colossal waste of space, destruction of nature, inhumane condition for the human and devastation of prime farmland.
Medium density is the way forward, everything should be within 5km radius for the human. Work, School, Sports, Socializing, Parks and so on. Anything else is poor planning.
More people, less land utilization with “excess” land used for prime organic farming which nourishes the people.
You don’t need that much space. A home should only be utilized for sleep, outside of sleeping you should be outdoors, doing something productive or socializing.
Some of us like detached homes bruh, other than that you spot on. But we don't need to live on top of each other to achieve what you're saying.
Same here..
You can always leave your quiet suburban home and drive to where it's fun and happening.
But if you reside where it's fun and happening, you can't drive to a nice quiet place. Youre stuck!

Given how the suburban sprawl started in America (American segregation, mapped at day and night) I can't blame the general reaction to it.
But, coming from a island where some roads are close to 800+ years old and space is at a premium, I'd say in this regard, you guys got it lucky.

You can have detached homes in urban areas. In fact most American cities are majority SFH
I don't even bother driving that. I keep my car in the garage. F all that getting tires and realignments bc they want to keep post ww1 streets like it's circa 1919 londonDUMBO has cobble stone and when those things aren’t kept up to date they will destroy your car.
And everbody doesnt want to live in some bullshyt like this.
Just fukking disgust me. fukk anybody who lives in a city or neighborhood like this. No culture, no seasoning. Everbody got the same floor plan. This is 100% why people shoot up neighborhoods and get hooked on dope and commit sucides and school shootings. Can you imagine growing up in a neighborhood where everything looks the same. Jesus christ.
And you got the nerve to talk about having the same floorplans?
I live in one of these fast growing exurban counties, the lack of creativity and "hurry up and build" is comical my family home is on a rural road that had a 30-35 house subdivision built 3 miles down the road and in 15 years I fully expect it to be surrounded by typical cookie cutter subdivisions as people get priced out of the closer bedroom communities.
What are other good cities in the northeast?
