This is the size of the LA metro area compared to London. It is absolutely massive in comparison.

Yes, so public transport makes even more sense

No it makes it prohibitively expensive and super difficult to design, build, and maintain.

You realize I’ve lived in both cities, right? It’s not prohibitively expensive, you’re just prohibitively stupid.

Ok. I’m sure living in both places makes you an expert on civil engineering.

Are you???

You actually don’t need to be a civil engineering expert, just need to have an iq above room temperature. You can basically just google “bigger places than LA with good public transport” to start. Then maybe follow up with “why the idea that places can be too big to have public transport is stupid”

the kind of thing that Google AI summaries do well, even.

You seem like such a nice person. Not an arrogant asshole at all!

Anodyne suggestions are now coded "arrogant asshole."

The Elizabeth line covers the width of that more or less

cool, here's the public transport density for the entire nation of belgium (roughly 3x the size of LA county, with half a million more people)
