I remember hearing about an initiative to build more public bathrooms in CA, though I can't remember if it was LA or SF; after over a year, the city managed to make ONE bathroom for $1.7 million, and it was instantly trashed by hooligans. A private tech company offered to fund the project instead, but backed out when they realized there were +90 different fees they would have to pay, totaling over $1.1 million PER bathroom. California is legitimately run by insane people, for insane people.

I live in LA and work as an engineer, and boy howdy do I have stories of the High Speed Rail system. It was passed as a ballot measure by the voters for $20 billion back in 2008. In 2009 the first planning stages got started. The preliminary engineering got started around 2012. My company worked on a small section of the HSR in LA to Burbank and our plans and reports went absolutely nowhere. Seven years and 18 versions of plans later, nothing has happened. We got paid but nothing has happened and now we're going to get a train from south-central nowhere to north-central nowhere for 6x the cost. Good job California, you're doing great, sweetie!

Honestly, destroying all those rail lines in the 50s and substituting them for highways and an almost absolute car dependancy was probably the worst economical decision the US has ever made.
Those highly congested humongous urban roads and having more parking lot surface than actual living surface is only the tip of the iceberg of the problems it has caused.

i visited LA as a european and tried walking like 2 km and it took ab an hour bc there was NO pavwmnts , NO crossroads, nothing. I also ended up being super thirsty and couldn't find a single store to buy something at bc they all shop at Hypermarkets like targets and have no neighbourhood shops or anything. Never again

As a Brit who recently went to LA, I loved it. Everything you say is true, but the place has gorgeous weather and bags of personality. Yeah, it's a nightmare to get around and the level of inequality is truly shocking. Equally, it's geographically stunning, with so many gorgeous parks and beaches. the food is fantastic, the people are super-friendly and it's a movie-lover's paradise.

LA is literally just Night city.
