note: i'd say 10% of those parking lots are marked for proposed development with a 1 in 100 chance of being built. you LA forumers need to stop leaving the wrong impression to impress other forumers here. "most dense metro" is such a decieving statistic.

^Well forgive us LA forumers for being so optimistic about our city.

A significant amount of deadzone parking lots have already been developed or are currently in the construction process. Nobody said it would happen over night. But it IS happening.

How is that deceiving when it's true?

Yep there are areas of parking lots which are

just like in most US cities. Probably a little harder to find in Manhattan and SF but you don't have to look hard in any other US city. Most of LA is built out though so I think the odds are a little better that more of those parking lots will fill up than you indicate. Only a few blocks southeast of where these photos are taken is LA's historic core which is pretty dense.

Great pictures.

WRONG! You need to educate yourself before you speak. LA REALLY IS the densest metro in the US. It's a fact. Perception vs. Reality; they're two very different things. Look at the freakin' facts!

I never said it wasn't the most dense metro. When I say deceptive is because boosters like to bring up that fact to give the wrongful impression to others that LA is more like Tokyo and less like Houston when it the truth is the other way around.

Dude: Los Angeles is its own entity not anything like either of those cities. You seem to be the one drawing comparrisons. Let it go and just enjoy the pictures or start a thread on the city discussion forum about how the World has a misconception about LA because of the LA area forumers.

Hate to say it, but the New Year's scene in LA isn't all that. It's very low key compared to other cities.

Vegas on the other hand...well...it ranked higher than Times Square as the place to be for New Year's.

JRinSoCal · #36 Posted **Dec 29, 2006, 8:07 PM**

^That's something I've never been able to understand about LA. For a city that loves to party so much and calls itself the entertainment capital, you would think LA would have a New Year's event that on par with Times Squares. We are so good at televising world class celebrations from around the world yet we as a world class city can't come up with our very own. And don't even get me started on the 2000 Hollywood sign lighting cus that shit was just embarrassing!

DJM19 · #37 Posted **Dec 29, 2006, 11:04 PM**

LA is more of a throw-your-own-party town. There are tons of parties, go to any bar or club and it will be packed.

Whenever I look at pictures like these, I always wonder if that'swhat the next version of simcity is going to look like
