Looks a lot better than it is!!

[J.D. Daily]

Air quality today is better than it was in 1901.  The native inhabitants describe the LA basin as Valley of the many smokes.  LA is cursed by its' geography.  This ignores the downsides of high population density.

Los Angeles 1901 had a population of over 102 thousand.

 

This is more realistic, for miles in all directions....

 

          

 

But I still avoid the place!

The high rise core of buildings is safe and clean.  Go a few blocks in any direction and it turns into a 3rd world crap hole.

So I would say,  so it hasn’t changed since I was last there in the early 90’s . But sadly I know it’s way worse. CA was a beautiful state it’s a shame what it’s become . I can see how for the people of the 1800’s to early 1900’s it really was a paradise
