- always blame the poor, especially the urban poor
God OKC is just miles and miles of nothing. And the freeways there are perfectly straight. You have to constantly wonder if you've been shuffled off of the mortal plane into a hell where you just keep driving, endlessly, with no real destination or beauty in sight.
[LOS ANGELES HAS ENTERED THE CHAT]
Jacksonville checking in
Houston is a lot worse than Los Angeles tbh as a person who has lived in both
I refuse to let you compare LA (urban sprawl) and Houston (a bunch of suburbs pretending to be a city).
That's fair. Los Angeles is more like a bunch of cities in a trench coat anyways.
We eat your cities. We eat them all up.
congrats to chicago on becoming the largest city
That's what happens when you build a city in a swamp.
I don't follow. Lots of good cities are built on swamps.
Part of the reason Houston resembles a bug splattered on the windshield of a car is because it is in a swamp.
Maybe like 5% of the reason. The main reason is because of motorist urban design. Otherwise Chicago, Berlin, Moscow, etc. etc. would be the same
For what its worth, DC was also built on a swamp.
well that's a bunch of random giant ass-numbers, if you had the popular density with each city then it would mean something to me.
