The assertion seems to be that it is not going to end well. If it really is unsustainable sprawl with poorly put together civic functions, why do we expect it to go on forever?
That is, sure, houses are cheap for now. But that doesn't mean you will have a place worth living in, given time.
- Tempest1981 4y ago> unsustainable sprawl 13 million people living in the Los Angeles basin seem to disagree.
- woodruffw 4y agoI’m not one of them, but Los Angeles doesn’t really scream “sustainable” to me. Is it really a counterexample to what the GP is saying?
- taeric 4y agoThe basin has house prices much lower than the bay area. Still higher than Houston, but I'm not sure where that fits in this discussion. Did I mix up threads?
- Tempest1981 4y agoIf Houston is unsustainable, then LA must be far beyond unsustainable... yet it continues to sprawl with no end in sight. So the ability to sustain/tolerate sprawl seems far higher than we expect.
- taeric 4y agoIs it established that the basin has less regulation then normal, as well? Or on par with Houston?
