The simple fact that you mention LA as even close to coming for NYC shows how deeply you have soaked into your "SoCal bubble".
What single mega project currently under construction in LA or even the entire west coast comes close to the Hudson Yards in Manhattan? None.
The Revitalization of Downtown L.A is way more major than Hudson Yards.DTLA had the biggest railroad system in the world in the 1920's,Go watch who framed Roger Rabbit please
So Hudson yards is more major than a city that hasn't seen such activities in damn near 100 years ?
Plus Los Angeles is gearing up to host as the Olympic city in 2024 ,That's MAJOR
High speed railing,The first ever in America, That's MAJOR
I could list 20 more major projects and you'll say so what NYC has the Hudson yards lmao
You just don't understand what exactly they are accomplishing with Hudson yards. The logistics, timeframe deadlines, manpower operations alone are second to none currently in USA imo. I mean they are already made videos and documentaries on Hudson yards for crying out loud lol it will be one of the greatest engennering accomplishements in some time. I say this with confidence.

Chicago is on fire going thru a huge boom right now and now just in construction of dozens of highrises and skyscrapers, but some serious big projects, and some very major projects in the pipeline, this is why I love Chicago this is a city that thinks big always has.

? What development in downtown LA is anywhere near as large as Hudson Yards? I don't even know if I want to ask where you heard downtown LA had the largest railway system in the world in the 1920's.
Well I was certain making that statement with reference to the OP of this thread which mentioned MSA, when I said 'entire west coast" I mean which single MSA on the west coast has a greater mega project than Hudson Yards.
I do understand however that are some amazing things going on outside of any specified "bubble area", Seattle, Chicago, Houston, Dallas etc.
The whole LAX overhaul thing is massive and major is more important than Hudson yards. Started with a brand new international terminal, and upgrading each domestic terminal, and building a Mid course section, tearing down hundreds of homes to build a huge central car facility, and station for Metro rail/transit bus center/and people mover to connect all these. More people would effected by this than Hudson yards since tens of millions of people complain every single year about how bad LAX is from traffic, to no public transit, to old terminals straight out of the 50s. And people will love it for the 2028 Olympics
This is a pretty objective assessment given the number of projects and sheer spending on construction--is reality the bubble you're referring to?
The idea that NYC is only building skyscrapers is ridiculous, though it certainly is building a lot of them and at least some of them are very much major projects. Building any additional casinos or stadiums is a horrendous idea since the city doesn't need them and has already build and refurbished several recently with the casino as a major project part striking me as particularly stupid. The city and metro needs to focus on expanding transit, updating infrastructure and building more employment opportunities in its secondary centers. On those counts, NYC's MSA has been building the most of any city, but it's still not enough.
No one is saying NYC is all of America. Those are your words. There's a lot of great things about other cities, but this isn't what the topic asked at all. Instead, it's about which MSA has the most major projects. In that specific category, there's a reason to exclude NYC and that's basically because it makes no sense as it definitively has the most of any MSA. This isn't saying that all of construction in the US is happening in NYC, because that'd be stupid. No one is being that stupid, but somehow you're pretending that's what's happening in your head.
Nobody knows why the OP excluded NYC,Bigger doesn't always mean better.My problem was New Yorkers shouldn't have jumped in the thread to begin with. Let other cities have a crack at it for once lol
I know how that New York pride works.It's like taking a shot at other cities by saying yeah lucky New York wasn't included.

The entire DTLA is under construction,We also have a subway to the beach project,Street cars will be reborn, should i continue ?
Oh here's your link to when Los Angeles and it's surrounding areas had the largest railway system on earth.
The*Pacific Electric, nicknamed the*Red Cars, was a privately owned*mass transit*system inSouthern California*consisting of electrically powered*streetcars,*interurban*cars, andbuses*and was the largest electric railway system in the world in the 1920s. Organized around the city centers of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, it connected cities in*Los Angeles County,*Orange County,*San Bernardino County*and*Riverside County.

Well you're talking the entire downtown LA area vs one specific development in NYC. That might be a comparison.
I know about the Pacific Electric, you said downtown Los Angeles had the largest system which is why I immediately called foul. The Pacific Electric was an electric trolley system that ran down the middle of streets way out to the desert and all around the region, which is why it was the largest on earth, it covered a lot of area. Part of its downfall.
Unfortunately it was almost defunct within decades of building, as right away when cars started coming online in the 1920's through 1950's they clogged the roads and the system was dismantled.

Downtown Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles right ?
Either way you slice it,LA had the largest railroad system in the world at one point
