I think Population density and shittiness of people are correlated. We evolved in environments with a couple hundred people you all knew personally. Our world has become completely ridiculous. We are like Penguins in the desert
@@MightyCrazy ahhh, nothing like a liberal snowflake out of portland who likes to dress as a lady. oh wait.... I thought we were assuming political views and geographic location off no information at all. sorry
LA isn't really that dense or crowded, especially compared to cities in India, China or even Europe, Paris and London for example are more crowded. The issue with LA is transportation, everyone has multiple cars and everyone drives every where, meanwhile public transport is terrible. Elon Musks plans are interesting, but LA really needs an effective rail system.
jelardo Also L.A. zoning & other land use regulations make it illegal to build housing as densely & tall as would be if people were freer to build what housing they want to build on their own property.
the problem in USA in general is lack of public transport and in places where it is, people still prefer to use their own car In Germany, most of the people I know use a bus to go for a night out or even when they have to run some errands in the city
So why don't some of those people move to elsewhere? Are they so liberal-retarded that they are stuck there, due to the "wonderful and 'diverse' libtarded culture"?
@@NorthernCold Civilized people should be allowed to spread to elsewhere. But if you are talking about Commiefornia lib-tard-ism, then you may have a point. Why should people be allowed to flee the failed stupid policies of NYC or Commiefornia, and then bring their failed policies with them? Let them renounce that backward nonsense that destroyed their country or state. So what do you propose? Should we build a wall around Commiefornia? Or maybe get a big saw, and cut them off, and let them sink into the ocean under the weight of their pathetic liberal-retardism? Can we give them remedial education, and somehow set them straight? Maybe pray for them? Maybe someday, they will get tired of being so backwards.
@ Cali is overdue to fall into the ocean any day now, under the weight of so many leftist liberal-retards and so many pathetic "snowflakes". Then you all won't have to worry about the traffic anymore.
James Wilcock that’s exactly what it is la is a big freeway wit a bunch of cities surrounded by it so everybody lives one place and works in another and then you also have the tourists who come
And what’s frustrating about that is not many have a choice. Make alright money in the LA City while being able to only afford a place that’s way outside of it.
Urban sprawl isn't the problem that it is made out to be. Because why shouldn't huge cities spread out more? People shouldn't be crammed together like some experimental rat cage city, unless that is where the people themselves choose to live, or there just isn't any room to spread out. However, do people have to live in one place and have their jobs be so far away in another place? Do something about that, or build better roads. I think that the soon-coming self-drive cars will do a lot to better manage the traffic and to keep it moving along.
This is why I left LA as fast as I could. That was my home, Sunset Strip was my stomping ground. Media glamorizes LA when it's mostly a dump and I grew up in West Hills. I visited after 15 years. Still glad I left.
lol I actually agree with that assessment and I have lived in LA for all 27 yrs of my life. Traffic is gross as hell and its really expensive here. Although the weather during the winter is actually great for the most part.
You're looking at it from the wrong angle; there's too many automobiles and not enough quality public transport in LA, the population size isn't the problem, the city's layout is also incredibly inefficient
JAMamation also L.A. zoning & other land use regulations don't allow as much housing density as would exist without those regulations requiring people to travel further to get where they want.
It would be FAR too expensive to try to fix things now. Tax dollars that the state of CA simply doesn't have. Or, they would have to increase the state income tax rate to try to re-design it. I seriously doubt the population would put up with higher state income taxes. California is great to visit because it's so cool. Because it's so cool, there are so many people there. Consequently, the number of people there has made it less cool.
@@MicahPotts Because commie-fornia's DemocRAT governor opposes people's right to go to church. Surely the need more spirituality and prayer, and not less. And why does he try to shut down the state when it needs to reopen? People need their paychecks. The CCP Virus pandemic simply needs to run its course. Exposure to the virus is how people get the needed immunity.
@@tylertyler82 There is much more freedom in the red states, and they don't so quickly shut everything down because of some little virus that will be over with so very soon once we reach herd immunity. At least red states will allow for people to work their jobs. And I can't imagine living in the LA cesspool. I would leave those awful Democrat-ruined cities.
After visting California for 2 weeks all I can say is that I'm happy I live in a small european town. Is nice to visit these big cities and see some interesting stuff but to live there ? to be in that every single day ? No thank you.
I have visited the small European towns. They’re quaint and very beautiful and some interesting stuff but to live there? Too quiet, glad to live in a city :)
Ehh no big city pros outweigh the cons compared to small town pros. Yea its nice to have quiet in a small town but you don't get to have a store down the block incase you run out of something. A nearby pharmacy in emergencies , faster ambulance and 911 response time, more people so if your in trouble theres more eyes and hands to help you.
You can live without a car in a lot of parts Queens, but if you're in Rockaway or Bayside it would suck. In Elmhurst or Forest Hills it's fine. But walking a half hour to the subway in the cold sucks.
I apologize but I did not get the name of Mr. Rogan's co-host but he said he was having a difficult time trying to gather up supplies for an emergency pack. If I may make a suggestion, do what I did - every time you go to the store just pick up one or two extra items to go into your kit. Spend no more than 10 to 20 dollars more than your planned budget per trip and soon you will see your kit grow. Buy items that have multi-use. Like rope or few mil thick plastic sheeting (drop cloth) - perfect for raid catch of water, make shift tent, poncho or ventilation controlling (covering windows), etc. Also place single use items in there like aspirin, rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. For those consumables I rotate them out as I use them but keep my kit constantly supplied. I sincerely hope this helps get you started.
Simple: People from outside of LA move to LA for their “careers” stay in LA, contribute more to the traffic and overpopulation, then complain. More people move in, and the cycle keeps on repeating
LA was soo home to real natives before instagram created mainstream society. So much gangsters and killing it was our culture but then youtube and ig invited everybody over here and now we got sissies that vlog and starbucks
Just a few years ago I wanted to move to L.A. for college, but I had several people from there tell me not to. So here I am still in Nebraska. Although, I don’t mind it.
Ive lived In the San Francisco Bay Area for 25 years. traffic is getting worse. worst its ever been. no matter what time of day. and crime fucking everywhere. even in the suburbs since they're forced to have low income housing
Guard Passer dude I live in Rhode island and it's the same here. I've been here all my life and driving for 13 years. It's getting worse every year. Noticeably so.
damn I thought RI wouldnt be too bad. hows the community there? assholes? I know the New York personality is obnoxious. people here in California are self-centered pricks
Could be because their Democrat politicians have run their city into the ground, invited in all the illegal aliens and now have ~$7.7 billion dollars of debt that they can't pay.
The problem in L A. In the varrrio example a 3 bedroom home 4 familoes live in that home 10 cars to one home every home 7 to 10 cars no.parking close by car maggeddon on fwy
I grew up in the Bay Area, Redwood City. Just a few miles north of Mountain View where Facebook and Google now are. I moved away for only four years and came back to a completely different world. They are tearing down everything to build housing and more tech buildings. The rent is so insane now that it's forcing families that have lived here for years to move. They clearly want these tech people to own this area. My home city has lost all the beautiful things it used to have. The worst part is all the wildlife that is getting pushed out. Luckily we have one marsh preserve for the animals but there's already a plan to turn it into cement to place more housing, schools and parks. What used to take me five mins to drive two miles now takes 30-40 mins. It's fkn horrible.
Amigo Jones: is it going to be midwestern states? They have consistently sucked up more federal taxes then they’ve produced, where as states such as California and New York contribute way more than we get back
Nathan Bruce contribute way more what? Rape and Murder rates, Homeless Rates, Welfare rates, Way below education levels?? 🐑 wake up, liberal strongholds like N. Y, Philly, Cali, Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore are straight shit. Liberalism is a disease, thats why those cities have every worst statistic known. from H.I.V to murder zzzZzzzZzzZz🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
If it took me 40 minutes to drive 2 miles, I would leave the car at home and walk. Same difference, it would seem faster to walk, great for exercise, and less stupid costly car repairs. 3 mph walking is 20 minutes per mile.
its all about the stupid ways we do things here, i was in the navy and went to many countries around the world and never had any problems traveling in those countries, and i was new there, trains were everywhere and you could just hop right on, cheaply, and ride them to wherever you needed to go, many times there was even bicycle or moped rentals at the stations. and most places law enforcement was so much better, the nation's ideas and the ways they handled their money for infrastructure was so much better too.
My mother used to tell me that they thought LA was nuts with the amount of traffic they had in the 60's compared to DC. Apparently there would only be a few cars on the beltway at any given time except rush hour when there were as many cars as what is considered light traffic today.
Cleveland has almost no traffic. We have a highway system built for 3 million people but only have 1.2million in the whole county. The government keeps investing money into our infastrcture since we have loads of steel mills that are super important to our national defense in times of war
And to think that LA used to have trams, but oil and car companies bought them all up and replaced them with shitty busses that no one wanted to use. They used a proxy company to do that since what they did was illegal. But hey, money talks. Look it up.
Your comparing the Los Angeles metropolitan area (13 million) to the city of London (8.7 million) - When you should be comparing The city of LA (3.9 million) to The city of London ( 8.7 million).
I have lived in So Cal all my life. The traffic does indeed suck out loud. I moved from Los Angeles County to Ventura County (the next county over from LA) about 5 years ago and it is better here in terms of less congestion but when I occasionally have to go back into LA County then I am reminded of how insanely overcrowded the roads are. And....it is only going to get worse.
Let me sum up the book on traffic. "In some places there is traffic, in some places not so much. Traffic is caused by too many cars and people. The end."
Deidre Stephens / I lived in Houston for a couple of years and Houston’s traffic is mainly from never ending construction and accidents on the freeways from all those dumb drivers down there ......
I'd contend that Houston traffic is often just as bad as LA traffic. I'm from Houston and I live here now but I have spent time around LA and I'd say that Houston could give LA a run for it's money a lot of times. However, Houston is laid out differently. We have the inner loop 610 and an outer loop which is beltway 8, then there is a spider web of highways eminating outward. The beltway is a toll road which makes it the fastest way to get anywhere in and around Houston. You hop on the beltway, take it to whichever toll free highway you need to get on and your travel time can easily be cut in half as long as you have enough money to buy an eztag and pay the crazy amount of tolls.
I lived in Santa Barbara I remember if I left for work at 7:05am I’ll get to work in 45 minutes... if I get on the road at 7:15am it would take me 3 hours to get to work it was so odd
Yeah, I can't even visit my family in LA anymore because it's just insane to get there and then to leave. I've never seen LA as populated as it is now. It's not fun anymore
Its not about how many people you can fit into a space, man... Its about feeding them , alotting resources to them without killing the planet's life giving ability...
It is "The Matthew effect of accumulated advantage" at work, the more people that settle in developed areas and locations (Cities) it even further increases the rate of population growth to those locations, therefore Cities can often spiral out of control and be completely overpopulated in a proportional sense, Manhattan is a great example. Now there are a lot of people in America (300 million+) but there is more than enough land to sustain such a population (9.834 million km²), the problem arises because the majority of these people live in these major cities and therefore it puts a strain on effectively calibrating and distributing resources as well as providing public services.
Humble Anarchist, It's already been pointed out that it's not just about land. It's about resources and quality of life. It's about fishermen who can't catch much fish anymore do to depleting certain fish populations. It's about destroying old growth rain forests that will never be gotten back. It's about waiting 1.5 hours to go on a single ride at Disneyland. It's about real estate prices going through the roof. It's about building over parks and other open spaces with high density living places. It's about more crime. It's about more unemployment. It's about more poverty. It's about more pollution in the air and in the ocean, and so on...
We can feed more people than ever thanks to indoor farming. We are nowhere near over populated as far as the planet goes, but some cities are far too congested.
thats right im with ya. and when i want to drive my car i dont have to hit the brakes for miles. i fucking love it. but dont tell anyone. californicants are already leaving california and stinking up the country
@@jefflee1189 I heard that. I love getting out and about for a nice ride and not run across anyone.I don't have any neighbor's for miles, so no neighbor problems.I have a functioning well water that is filtered and comes out of a sink on the kitchen island.I have cows, chickens, and pigs.I have everything from ducks, turkeys, and white tail deer on my land plus two ponds and a hardwood bottom with a creek running through it.I spent summers out here as a kid and out of all the stuff my granddad and dad left me the house and the land are by far the best.I don't have to go anywhere to get anything if I don't want to, and have a wonderful place that's all mine if things happen to go tits up.I am not a prepper.Its just a functioning farm out in the middle of nowhere that my grandparents set up to be self sufficient and it's heaven on Earth to me.
It's not worth it. I've lived here all but five years and I'm closer to moving to another state. That pleasant, nostalgic feeling of growing up and loving your hometown has long gone.
@Jerry Donohue Yup. Literally. And that’s why it’s an absolute shit hole with barely any funding because they keep loading in people that are not helping them. I hope all Californians stay in California. The rest of the country does not want them LOL
Big cities developed around the car are in trouble, places like LA and Atlanta were not meant to have so many people going in out and around them. Sadly because the only way they can address their problems is by spending huge amounts of money. The massive cities in Asia can keep getting bigger because there are systems to move people around efficiently.
It’s called unsustainable population growth. Accepting over 1 million people annually via immigration policy over the past 30 years certainly isn’t helping.
Living in Seattle, coming from LA, I can say, while LA traffic is a lot, Seattle traffic is worse for me, especially now, NOBODY knows how to drive and we stay stopped in traffic for minutes at a time, just creeping each time we move. LA traffic, yeah you'll get your creeping traffic, but usually it's a steady flow of 15-30 mph.
I was shocked when I pulled up Google maps and seen how many houses are in la going all the way up the west coast. Its litterly house beside house with no yard and just keeps going. IAM from Georgia. There is no way I could live happy somewhere you can never have some quiet and enjoy it.
Typical commute times in the Puget Sound pre pandemic during rush hour is 45-60 minutes from Seattle to Tacoma. For all the condense population up here, there are basically a half dozen freeways north, south, east and west.
LA is so disgusting. Santa Monica and Beverly Hills is nice, but outside of that, everywhere you look are tents filled with homeless people. It's disturbing. Especially if you own a place in LA, homeless people are allowed to live right outside of your building or business and what does that do? Drives business away.
But that’s one of the most populated areas in North America I believe. Which means meany people will come for your stuff as they will not be prepared. I live in Ireland which has hardly any forest and although we aren’t over populated, we’re quite spread out, so I’m dead no matter how many skills I learn as there just isn’t any resources
LA has always had horrible traffic. I moved to LA in 1958 when the San Diego Freeway was being built. You had to drive over "Old Sepulveda" to get to the Valley and the traffic was bumper to bumper for hours even back in those days.
I take Adderall prescription [MLG] South Korea: am I a fucking joke to you, (korea is economically very successful and is a beautiful country but crowded as fuck, China needs to give some of its useless land to Korea and tell them to get the fuck out)
I'm from San Francisco and went to college in Tucson, AZ. I remember driving a U-Haul from Tucson to San Francisco after college and had to take 10 from AZ to LA then 5 north to the Bay Area. I drove through LA at 10pm on a Sunday (which was also Mother's Day) and got stopped in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Don't know how people manage that out there, shit would drive me nuts

NYC is far more densely populated than LA

You need a car in the outer boroughs. Try not having a car in Queens or Staten Island. Manhattan or Brooklyn you can do without it.

Could be because their Democrat politicians have run their city into the ground, invited in all the illegal aliens and now have ~$7.7 billion dollars of debt that they can't pay.
The problem in L A. In the varrrio example a 3 bedroom home 4 familoes live in that home 10 cars to one home every home 7 to 10 cars no.parking close by car maggeddon on fwy
David Ortega this is also how it is in Hawaii
Too much land is used for roads?
L.A. is a hamster cage. So many people there it’s ridiculous...
I grew up in the Bay Area, Redwood City. Just a few miles north of Mountain View where Facebook and Google now are. I moved away for only four years and came back to a completely different world. They are tearing down everything to build housing and more tech buildings. The rent is so insane now that it's forcing families that have lived here for years to move. They clearly want these tech people to own this area. My home city has lost all the beautiful things it used to have. The worst part is all the wildlife that is getting pushed out. Luckily we have one marsh preserve for the animals but there's already a plan to turn it into cement to place more housing, schools and parks. What used to take me five mins to drive two miles now takes 30-40 mins. It's fkn horrible.
my dad lives in the bay, not only is his rent insane, but they consistently raise it every year
Nick C some1 has to pay for all the illegals sucking everything up.
Amigo Jones: is it going to be midwestern states? They have consistently sucked up more federal taxes then they’ve produced, where as states such as California and New York contribute way more than we get back
Nathan Bruce contribute way more what? Rape and Murder rates, Homeless Rates, Welfare rates, Way below education levels?? 🐑 wake up, liberal strongholds like N. Y, Philly, Cali, Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore are straight shit. Liberalism is a disease, thats why those cities have every worst statistic known. from H.I.V to murder zzzZzzzZzzZz🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
If it took me 40 minutes to drive 2 miles, I would leave the car at home and walk. Same difference, it would seem faster to walk, great for exercise, and less stupid costly car repairs. 3 mph walking is 20 minutes per mile.
its all about the stupid ways we do things here, i was in the navy and went to many countries around the world and never had any problems traveling in those countries, and i was new there, trains were everywhere and you could just hop right on, cheaply, and ride them to wherever you needed to go, many times there was even bicycle or moped rentals at the stations. and most places law enforcement was so much better, the nation's ideas and the ways they handled their money for infrastructure was so much better too.
Its almost as if we had to spend a shit ton of money on things like our Navy while those countries could invest in infrastructure instead...
I would lose my mind in that traffic. Spending hours each day wasting your time and money in gas, not worth it
My mother used to tell me that they thought LA was nuts with the amount of traffic they had in the 60's compared to DC. Apparently there would only be a few cars on the beltway at any given time except rush hour when there were as many cars as what is considered light traffic today.
Lived in LA: traffic, Lived in Seattle: traffic, live in Phoenix: traffic, live in any city in 2020 with 8 billion people on the planet: traffic.
Don't worry, Coronavirus will take of the traffic 😂
Facts
Cleveland has almost no traffic. We have a highway system built for 3 million people but only have 1.2million in the whole county. The government keeps investing money into our infastrcture since we have loads of steel mills that are super important to our national defense in times of war
I spend time in Southern California (the desert, San Diego county) but avoid L.A. like the plague.
"Get out before it gets Blade-Runnery", might be the best quote describing the future.
And to think that LA used to have trams, but oil and car companies bought them all up and replaced them with shitty busses that no one wanted to use. They used a proxy company to do that since what they did was illegal. But hey, money talks. Look it up.
The city and state purposefully do not build new infrastructure or try to actually fix the issues. It doesn't have to be like it is.
I love these Jre clips 👏
I was in LA in 1996 and the traffic was bad back then... Now I can only imagine how bad it is...
LA is tiny compared to London and Tokyo and they seem to handle it better, it's a question of gov't and policy not overpopulation
DJ Ghoul: and public transportations. Tokyo has a subway and London has a quality bus system
Metropolitan L A has 5 million more than London. Read the entire google search not just the first thing you see.
Your comparing the Los Angeles metropolitan area (13 million) to the city of London (8.7 million) - When you should be comparing The city of LA (3.9 million) to The city of London ( 8.7 million).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_by_population
Tokyo metro area - 37,832,892
London metro area - 14,040,163
LA metro area - 13,353,907
Feel free to look at the city figures as well, even bigger difference between LA and London
"Bladerunnery" lol
I have lived in So Cal all my life. The traffic does indeed suck out loud.
I moved from Los Angeles County to Ventura County (the next county over from LA) about 5 years ago and it is better here in terms of less congestion but when I occasionally have to go back into LA County then I am reminded of how insanely overcrowded the roads are.
And....it is only going to get worse.
I've been going to La since I was 5 years old and seventies in LA traffic is always been horrible.
Let me sum up the book on traffic. "In some places there is traffic, in some places not so much. Traffic is caused by too many cars and people. The end."
stay in L.A dont come to the East coast
Mr.Faust Faun Fable the east coast is a shit hole
Don't come to the West coast
@Jack Brown so is New York and DC. Shaddap
@Jack Brown and Baltimore too
the middle is just right.
I’m gunna assume joe hasn’t ever been on 290 in Houston..
Hells to the yeah! Or the 610/59 exchange... then trying to exit onto Westheimer/ Galleria... OMG!!
Deidre Stephens / I lived in Houston for a couple of years and Houston’s traffic is mainly from never ending construction and accidents on the freeways from all those dumb drivers down there ......
or that 59/ Westheimer/ 610 exchange at Christmas !! MY GAWD !!
I'd contend that Houston traffic is often just as bad as LA traffic. I'm from Houston and I live here now but I have spent time around LA and I'd say that Houston could give LA a run for it's money a lot of times.
However, Houston is laid out differently. We have the inner loop 610 and an outer loop which is beltway 8, then there is a spider web of highways eminating outward. The beltway is a toll road which makes it the fastest way to get anywhere in and around Houston. You hop on the beltway, take it to whichever toll free highway you need to get on and your travel time can easily be cut in half as long as you have enough money to buy an eztag and pay the crazy amount of tolls.
I lived in Santa Barbara I remember if I left for work at 7:05am I’ll get to work in 45 minutes... if I get on the road at 7:15am it would take me 3 hours to get to work it was so odd
Yeah, I can't even visit my family in LA anymore because it's just insane to get there and then to leave. I've never seen LA as populated as it is now. It's not fun anymore
It’s been like that since I’ve been alive , I remember taking vacations in the early 90s with my parents and catching gridlock
I live where the 605 the 5, the 105 all come together,... I live in a circle of hell!...
Born and raised in NYC, subway is my life ❤️
Nihilist I’m sorry.
Took me 1 hour to get from Sanra Monica to Srudio City, 5pm on a Friday!
1 hour? That's it Why are you complaining?
Traffic jam in Idaho. 3 cars stuck behind a farm tractor for a block.
Lived here 40 years. Been this way the whole time.
No, it's just in the cities. Do they realise how much open space is on the planet?
Its not about how many people you can fit into a space, man...
Its about feeding them , alotting resources to them without killing the planet's life giving ability...
That's what the Jews want to make you believe
It is "The Matthew effect of accumulated advantage" at work, the more people that settle in developed areas and locations (Cities) it even further increases the rate of population growth to those locations, therefore Cities can often spiral out of control and be completely overpopulated in a proportional sense, Manhattan is a great example. Now there are a lot of people in America (300 million+) but there is more than enough land to sustain such a population (9.834 million km²), the problem arises because the majority of these people live in these major cities and therefore it puts a strain on effectively calibrating and distributing resources as well as providing public services.
Humble Anarchist, It's already been pointed out that it's not just about land. It's about resources and quality of life. It's about fishermen who can't catch much fish anymore do to depleting certain fish populations. It's about destroying old growth rain forests that will never be gotten back. It's about waiting 1.5 hours to go on a single ride at Disneyland. It's about real estate prices going through the roof. It's about building over parks and other open spaces with high density living places. It's about more crime. It's about more unemployment. It's about more poverty. It's about more pollution in the air and in the ocean, and so on...
We can feed more people than ever thanks to indoor farming. We are nowhere near over populated as far as the planet goes, but some cities are far too congested.
Ppl need to start using rubbers or pulling out.
Good 1.
4:56 I had no idea. That is crazy. Glad to be living in a state with a smaller population than LA county.
I got horses, food, and in the middle of nowhere. I am good.
thats right im with ya. and when i want to drive my car i dont have to hit the brakes for miles. i fucking love it. but dont tell anyone. californicants are already leaving california and stinking up the country
Lucky bastard.
@@jefflee1189 I heard that. I love getting out and about for a nice ride and not run across anyone.I don't have any neighbor's for miles, so no neighbor problems.I have a functioning well water that is filtered and comes out of a sink on the kitchen island.I have cows, chickens, and pigs.I have everything from ducks, turkeys, and white tail deer on my land plus two ponds and a hardwood bottom with a creek running through it.I spent summers out here as a kid and out of all the stuff my granddad and dad left me the house and the land are by far the best.I don't have to go anywhere to get anything if I don't want to, and have a wonderful place that's all mine if things happen to go tits up.I am not a prepper.Its just a functioning farm out in the middle of nowhere that my grandparents set up to be self sufficient and it's heaven on Earth to me.
Until all the starving masses come to visit you (think roving bands of nomads thousands in number). This problem affects all of us.
@@charlescoe226 He can just shoot anyone that tries to take his food.
AND THATS WHY THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS SO IMPORTANT
Same thing with London All Big cities have similar issues. we were sold the "big city dream" and woke up to a nightmare.
It's not worth it. I've lived here all but five years and I'm closer to moving to another state. That pleasant, nostalgic feeling of growing up and loving your hometown has long gone.
Took someone to a Dodgers game who lived 12 miles away from the stadium. Took us over an hour to get there.
Its crazy how we have these gigantic cars and 80% of the time its one person occupying that huge space trying to get somewhere
Look at population density - it’s not over populated - it’s just bad road design made for cars not people
@Jerry Donohue Yup. Literally. And that’s why it’s an absolute shit hole with barely any funding because they keep loading in people that are not helping them. I hope all Californians stay in California. The rest of the country does not want them LOL
Brooooooo when the camera turned and I saw Matt I knew I was gonna spend hours listening to this podcast lol
Big cities developed around the car are in trouble, places like LA and Atlanta were not meant to have so many people going in out and around them. Sadly because the only way they can address their problems is by spending huge amounts of money. The massive cities in Asia can keep getting bigger because there are systems to move people around efficiently.
What's sad is that we could have built mass rapid transport hubs. Both cities had plans in the 60's.
Washington d.c. is pretty bad too
It’s called unsustainable population growth.
Accepting over 1 million people annually via immigration policy over the past 30 years certainly isn’t helping.
Living in Seattle, coming from LA, I can say, while LA traffic is a lot, Seattle traffic is worse for me, especially now, NOBODY knows how to drive and we stay stopped in traffic for minutes at a time, just creeping each time we move. LA traffic, yeah you'll get your creeping traffic, but usually it's a steady flow of 15-30 mph.
I was shocked when I pulled up Google maps and seen how many houses are in la going all the way up the west coast. Its litterly house beside house with no yard and just keeps going. IAM from Georgia. There is no way I could live happy somewhere you can never have some quiet and enjoy it.
NY feels way more packed
M. Clayton it is
Rich guys talking.
Atlanta is almost there as well. Traffic is horrible.
The best way is motorcycling. Can lane split legally between vehicles and get through any spot you fit through.
'there never used to be this much traffic'
'I moved here in 1994'
'the traffic is terrible now, there's too many people'
👏
I got out before it got blade runnery
Typical commute times in the Puget Sound pre pandemic during rush hour is 45-60 minutes from Seattle to Tacoma. For all the condense population up here, there are basically a half dozen freeways north, south, east and west.
LA is so disgusting. Santa Monica and Beverly Hills is nice, but outside of that, everywhere you look are tents filled with homeless people. It's disturbing. Especially if you own a place in LA, homeless people are allowed to live right outside of your building or business and what does that do? Drives business away.
I left Oklahoma because there were to many people.
Living the dream in wyoming.
Oklahoma does not have many people
3rdworlds wtf I’ve been to OKC and there aren’t that many people lol except for downtown
You're reaching.
@@gomezkenneth92 compared to Wyoming it sure does
Got my fishing pole, my guns, shelter and endless drinkable water. There's benefits of living in the coldest area of the country.....upper great lakes
But that’s one of the most populated areas in North America I believe. Which means meany people will come for your stuff as they will not be prepared. I live in Ireland which has hardly any forest and although we aren’t over populated, we’re quite spread out, so I’m dead no matter how many skills I learn as there just isn’t any resources
LA has always had horrible traffic. I moved to LA in 1958 when the San Diego Freeway was being built. You had to drive over "Old Sepulveda" to get to the Valley and the traffic was bumper to bumper for hours even back in those days.
Cant imagine it, traffic here is bad enough but i heard there more people in L.A then in Michigan
California has more people than all of Canada. More people than all of Australia.
Think about it
joecugo You missed my point. If the only tool you have is a hammer. You treat everyone like a nail. I’m sorry for anyone who crosses your path...
Reading a book on traffic? Sounds fascinating
ATL is like this too. 12 o'clock traffic jam for no reason.
I went to Italy recently. A lot of scooters over there that ride the line in between lanes. Crazy shit.
Gee purrs crazy man
Also they want to be a sanctuary city and that will bring even more people...good luck.
AmericanGoonerMax ehh it’ll be alright lmao
LA and Cali in general are under populated if anything
Paul W. Are you really that stupid? The article was how overpopulated LA is today
Paul W. La is overpopulated bro Everybody is moving there
The democrats are trying very hard to move Mexico and all of Central America into Southern Cali , Nevada and Arizona .
Joe: LA is overpopulated!
India: *am i a joke to you ?*
China: am i a joke to you
I take Adderall prescription [MLG] South Korea: am I a fucking joke to you, (korea is economically very successful and is a beautiful country but crowded as fuck, China needs to give some of its useless land to Korea and tell them to get the fuck out)
I was stuck on the Don Valley Parkway in Toronto forever for no reason.
I’ve been in traffic so long that a guy in another car gave me some coffee to stay awake
I live in South Dakota, if I go out to the country (which takes 5 min) and look west there is literally no civilization for 1,300 miles!!!
Feel bad for u
“Get out before it gets too Blade Runner-ry” is hilarious!
I'm from San Francisco and went to college in Tucson, AZ. I remember driving a U-Haul from Tucson to San Francisco after college and had to take 10 from AZ to LA then 5 north to the Bay Area. I drove through LA at 10pm on a Sunday (which was also Mother's Day) and got stopped in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Don't know how people manage that out there, shit would drive me nuts
This video actually made me panic a bit. Here in LA we never think of the logistics for when something big will happen.
I moved to San Francisco in June 1995 and remember driving a truck from SFO to Pacific Heights in less than 40 minutes, now it takes three hours.
There is a thing in Europe called Public Trasnsports, I don’t know if any americans ever heard of that...
It ain't just Europe. Pretty much every developed nation other than the US has decent public transportation.
In the early 80s, my mother's commute from Panorama City to Pasadena was 60 minutes.
Driving around there for two weeks,I feel I’m now prepared for Lemans or the Indy 500.
