Westwood, UCLA, and Santa Monica

[BTinSF]

^^^That seems to be true of the largest universities but the two medium-sized ones I attended have been pretty consistent at trying to adhere to the original style (one Georgian, one Gothic).

Anyway, nice pictures of this part of LA. Santa Monica looks as much like Berkeley at the beach as I would have guessed. The Westwood photo does show a nice density, but what contrasts with other dense cities in my mind is the width of the streets--I count 9 lanes of traffic with no median. That's an almost uncrossable barrier for many pedestrians (e.g the aged or disabled or just slow). Clearly this part of LA, like the other parts with which I'm more personally familiar, is still a car-centric place.
