The damage has been done; until then, LA will always be seen as a hellhole of traffic by outsiders, which is something I've stopped worrying over: better for the people who actually live here and enjoy its pleasures and secrets.

But is San Diego, which a lot more ppl give high marks to, so much more of a transit city than LA? And even though its DT has filled out nicely over the past several yrs, is SD really sooo much more of a walkable town than LA? Is SD really so much more ideal to a lot of SSPers, or at least to the ppl who've replied
to this thread?
I wish lousy transit & jammed roads were the main reason many ppl rate LA way down on their list.
