2nd densest CSA in the USA, yo I would say that any modeling that has to disregard Los Angeles is useless. As I understand it, Los Angeles is Los Angeles primarily because it didn't fully participate in the highway revolts; I know the proposed map of seattle is a nightmare on wax. By not putting all the roads in, Seattle stayed livable. Los Angeles went the other way. Nonetheless, it's one outcome of a common core of development and hardly unique. It's too low density to have good walking / transit options, but too high density to make room for highways.
