I used to say to my wife the best thing about LA is the airport. It gets you far away from the place. The worst thing about LA is also the airport. When you arrive and have to rent a car and navigate those treacherous freeways it is no joke. It’s like driving along the Amalfi coast backwards in a truck blindfolded in the middle of a war. Your chances are better in Phnom Pehn during a festival. LA is a fine example of the oil industry dictating how we should live. There should be trains to Union Station from LAX every 15 minutes, and then a network of trains to all parts of LA. The city needs to stop sprawling and start condensing. Communities need to be built around live, work, and play. Homes need to be affordable. And stop growing grass everywhere. It’s the dessert FGS!
