I agree with you. Many CA cities do not fit within my construct. However, geographically, many aren’t really “cities.”
LA and SF could not be less alike in terms of size and layout. NY, SF, and Boston are quite similar. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are more similar in size, concentration and layout to SF than is LA or SD.
ETA: This isn’t a knock on SD or LA. I like them. I’m the strange person who thinks sprawl is “freeing.” I’m just saying, in a conversation about problems with traditional densely packed cities, citing LA isn’t assisting the discussion, as you note. So perhaps, say something relevant? You don’t get points for telling us what applies to Boston doesn’t apply to LA.
