In the first Blade Runner movie with the voice over version, Deckard says that LA has 106 million people in 2019. The visuals for both movies do show a super compacted city similar to Magnasanti, with presumably a similar quality of life.
- webkike 9y agoThey have cars though!

- oblio 9y agoGreater LA covers 86k sqkm and has 18.7 million people, for a density of 200 people per sqkm. At London’s density (about 1000 people per sqkm), LA would have ~95 million inhabitants. Close to Deckard’s estimate. And though I don’t like London much, it doesn’t seem hellish to me.
- woobar 9y agoI am not sure you can equate a Greater LA CSA to a city. CSA includes multiple cities (and some deserts) that are ~200km apart. Densities in these cities are not so outrageously different. ~5,600/sqkm in London vs ~3,300/sqkm in LA
