  LA is actually more dense than most American cities.
context: Given the population density, maybe standard suburban homes aren't really the thing. Affordable apartments maybe? People have to live somewhere, but not everyone needs a 1/4 acre with a garage and a garden. It would be nice, but at some point there's just not fucking room. And if there were room, there isn't enough water to build out like that much more. >

  Makes too much sense. >
  
  It's the land that is expensive, not the house. >
  
  Then why is LA so spread out?
