Lots and lots of humans

Too many humans.
I agree. Overpopulation. Much nicer 40+ years ago when the population was a lot less.

"....the Laws of the Indies dictated that Spanish New World cities be constructed twenty miles from the sea ("to avoid any attacks from pirates," Rojas says), near a freshwater source ("the L.A. River") and close to a native tribe ("for labor")."

1) Letting the Homeless take control of the city

Overpopulation and the absence of MASS transit, on the level of NYC.

Most people don't know there was a whole subway system underneath downtown L.A. around the time of Henry Ford. Deduce that one.

Some of it was utilized to finally expand into what is now the Metro Rail. Too late, too little. (Yes, I reversed the saying.)
