Regarding everyone who thinks LA offices are not centralized... think Tokyo. It's multiple cities connected at the hip. LA never ends between them, and is actually worse for traffic because people need to travel through them.
Like Tokyo, LA would be perfect for more trains. But like Tokyo or NY, the evolution of which becomes a city where cars become either a luxury or an impossibility.
This is great when the ride is clean and on time, which is why I would hate to see LA end up like NY.
But then again, if it's too convenient, you end up being pushed in by men wearing white gloves, at least during rush hour.
That's why co-working spaces are awesome. It's not working from home, but it's not going to work either.
- wapz 10y agoTraffic in Tokyo is much worse because freeways are few and far between in Japan (and with very, very expensive tolls). I have to take the local roads if I go anywhere, so a 10km drive ~6 miles takes about 30-40 minutes. When I lived in Berkeley, I could get to downtown SF in under 20 minutes with no traffic, and even with traffic it would take about 40 minutes.
