Also for everyone saying LA is going to become Toyko because of this, the official LA and Tokyo metro areas have roughly the same population (~13 million), but LA has nearly six times the land area (4,850.3 sq miles vs 847.9). Even at the most extreme population growth LA won't start looking like Tokyo for decades.
No, but its starting in the LA basin...there is just a long way to go.

Its funny I took an uber ride with a South Korean guy, been in LA for 20 years. He told me he liked LA because its not as crowded as South Korea. I said, oh really I thought South Korea was a pretty good place to live, he said its too crowded, to many people for the resources available.

Do I want to see LA morph into Tokyo. No. I'd rather the population table for a while.
