some people underestimate how important this is for your overall health.

LA is a city that was developed around the car that’s why. It’s not an old city and much newer than San Fran whose history dates back to the gold rush.

A huge chunk of NYC was built for cars too. If Southern Brooklyn and Queens were developed before 1945, it would probably all look like North Brooklyn

smh. That's not the same though. that's like someone in new york who doesn't have a backyard so they have to buy those homeade gardens to put on their deck.

When I was in LA I blown away by how spread out it was. shyt actually fukked my mind up a little bit

LA was really not different to me the times I've been. Thats because its spread out alot like Houston. They both have I-10 going through the middle of the city too.

The only problem I have is the same houses. All the neighborhoods have no distinct architecture (Houston more than LA)

And if you don't have any natural landscape (mountains, hills ect..) It gets ugly and boring. (again houston more than LA)

I can appreciate NY type of living, but after your mid thirties that shyt gets old. I need land

I don’t give a shyt either way but then again I’m from Rural ass Louisiana



At least you ain’t gotta watch for deer and bears and shyt crossing the road at night.

Have you seen the big foot?

Everytime I think of where I could live outside of the East Coast, I realize I wouldn't be able to handle living Suburban sprawl 24/7

Cities I visited, you really gotta drive everywhere just to do anything


Only reason why the Northeast is more walkable is cause it was designed when America was barely an official country pre 1800s. For some reason, people thought it was a good idea to make these cities so spread the fukk out. Like gah damn, can I see a place where its walkable and busy?

No wonder this country is so obese, only exercise they get is in an air conditioned gym

Only cities off the top of my head that are actually walkable outside of the NorthEast is Chicago, Bay Area, Portland, Seattle

All that sprawl isn't sustainable, and contributes to ruining the economy, but hey that's just me

New Orleans

I need to visit Houston. I actually kinda liked how spread out LA was becuz it made it easier to observe shyt. But driving was a bytch. It was just cool to see somewhere completely opposite to where I’m from where we all live on top of each other. It rarely takes me more than 20 minutes to do anything here. And usually it’s close to 10

Well, if you do. Know that Houston is not as pretty, but the women are!

My city is not really set up for touristy shyt, but we have a LOT of good resturants, museums etc. You just have to go out in the nighlife to see the dimes.

Sprawl is more on the heads of city planners. They don't have to run power and water out to every new development. What should be happending is every time someone wants to build a new 100 house unit, it should have roads, and a market center, and public transportation planned aroudn that new residential area. Every resident should be within walking distance to all your basic needs. But it's easier to just let people keep buidling and keep collecting property taxes. I wish there was a time lapse of sprawl in SW KC. They just keep building and building.

The problem is there is not enough land to support the population in a handful of cities.

There need to be people in the burbs and people in rural areas to grow and supply food for the general population.

I’d be cool with at least 4 million people leaving NYC permanently.

Yeah, people forget what nature does for people's happiness, as well. Extroverts are the ones that pushing for everyone to live in dense areas where there is no room to have individual room to relax in. People need peace of mind to recharge from busy day to day life or else they burn out.

Me too. I would love to see the 2 and 5 train not being crowded like the early 2000s, once again. But people insist on having their bacon egg and cheese sandwich at 3am or eating chopped cheese around the clock, but stay pissed off at people because they want solitude.
