There is plenty of space to build high(er) density housing in Los Angeles if you know where to look [1]. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to fight tooth-and-nail against NIMBY types to build 5 over 1s next to SFH when you've got way better options. This is true for almost every city in America too. Urban infill needs to be prioritized to boost density. Everything else is inefficient at best and wasteful and unnecessary at worst. You cannot have cars and have density. It's a contradiction.
